elephants often for a month at time
spend their days in swimming from
one side of the river to the other, car
rying heavy burdens as they go. Cften
they remain in the water uninterrupt-
eddy for sixteen hours or more, always
with a weight on their backs.
Horses swim most skillfully, as the
maneuvers of cavalrymen in the waters
testify, although there are horses who
cannot be induced to go in beyond their
depth.
While swimming the elephant keeps
his eye close to the waterline and
stretches his trunk to and fro over the
surface of the stream. raising or low
ering his back as he chooses.
Swine are pretty we'll at home in the
water, although they are strangers to
baths. Many a time in shipwrecks pigs

Dangers of Canoeing.

Four young men have lost their
lives this season in the Delaware by
reason OF the craft in which they
we're shooting its rapids being over
turned. There may be more ex.
citement in using a canoe than an
ordinary boat, but there is far more
danger, especially when there is
more than one occupant A skillful
canoeist should have no difficulty in
descending any of the riffs particu-
larly when the water is high.
Either the unfortunate young men
who wero drowned did not under
stand managing the craft in turbu-
lent water or were careless. If this
sport is to be indulged in those who
seek the adventure would better
content themselves in the use of an
ordinary river bateau A certain
spice of danger would then be re.
moved and the young men might be
alive to take a second trip. With a
boat Of this description and moder-
ate care the ride can be made with
comparative safety. In the end 1t
would be far more satisfactory for a
person to miss just a little unneces-
sary adventure and go home safely
in his boat than to have to be taken
thereina a box The writer has often
shot the riffs in all heights of water
and speaks from experience.

Considerable anxiety is expressed
at the state department in regard to
the case of one, Captain Rosehill,
who claims, by right of priority Of
discovery, that he is the proprietor
of a guano island in the Pacific,
known as Marcus Island and situated
800 miles east of Yokohama. Some
citizen or citizens of Japan claim the
island on the same ground and, while
Captain Rosehill has left this country
post haste to take possession of the
island, the Japanese government has
learned of his intention and has dis
patched a war ship to protect the
alleged rights of her citizens. The
state department aflirms its conf
dence that a peaceful and equitable
solution of the question can be arrived
at provided the captain is not too
precipitate in pressing his claim hut,
should he attempt to try conclusions
with the warship, there is little doubt
that he would emerge from the en-
gagement a loser and it is possible
that the United States might and
the relations between itself and Japan
severely strained in an effort to se-
cure adequate damages for the de-
struction Of an American ship and an
American captain.

party in congress. There is one
great diferance in the situation,
however, In that, whereas the ques-
tions at issue between Governor La
Toilette Of Wisconsin and the state
delegation were Of local character,
those, or rather, the one, question,
between Governor Cummings OF
Iowa and the Iowa congressional
delegation concerns national policy.
Governor Cummings is committed to
tariff revision, revision by republic
cans, it should be remembered, and
along the lines Of protection, but
revision. Senators Allison and Dol
liver, Speaker Henderson and other
Iowa congressman, even If they are
not opposed to revision, do not be-
lieve the time is ripe for the intro
duction Of the issue into a campaign.
Secretary Shaw stands with the Iowa
delegation while the president is in
clined to espouse Governor Cum
mings side Of the argument. Mr..
Roosevelt believes that, by his an
nouncement Of his intention to secure
regulation of the trusts, he has LEFT
democrats almost without an issue
and he argues that, if the republicans
Of the country will announce their
position as favoring tariff revision
along protective and business lines,
the democrats will be left without
single claim on which to base their
appeal for support. 1t is freely adj
mitted that whatever the action of
the Iowa convention may be it will
have decided effect on the policy Of
the party. Iowa republicans are too
staunch to permit Of any serious fric-
ton in their ranks and the opinion
prevails here that If the convention
stands for a modified revision of the
tariff, the party generally will abide
by the decision.
