If there is one thing which an ele phant enjoys above all things else, it is bis bath. In India elephants are used to draw the great guns of the heav! batteries. They take their baths in the barracks. at the troughs where they drink. and they behave much better about it than many children. They have to lie down and he patient while they are washed by their attendants They turn themselves about very promptly to suit their convenience The attendant rubs the hide with a piece of stone instead of a sponge, and # the stone slips out of his hand the elephant politely picks 1t up with his trunk and hands ii back. After th y have been well scrubbed the elephants give themselves a shower bath. using heir trunks Co dash the water upon

DIFFICULT WILDCAT RAID.

Deputy Revenue Collector j. s. Thompson and Deputy Constable Henry Nowlin recently returned to Little Rock from an interesting trip
 to Jones' island, in the southeast cor ner of White county on White river. Deputy Marshal Fred E. Johnson completed the posse who went to in
 vestigate a report that moonshiners had their lair in that out of the way place. They brought back with them
 J. B. Wright, one of the four farmers on the island who is now in the Pulaski county jail on the charge of illicit dis tilling. Another man whom the of
 ficers were after, one Bill Brown,
 made good his escape through warn- ing by a confederate. They reached the island and found Wright at home. Eight gallons of whisky found in his smoke house was de-
 stroyed He said that Ia man just asked me if he couldn't leave keg with me few days" and that he did not know what it contained Several mash tubs were found in an old build- ing and were burned. Wright said he did not know they were there, or what they were used for; he never saw still, and did not know how whisky is made. As they were leav- ing Wright's house they heard two shots from a shot gun, which they be- lieve were fired by Mrs. Wright, as she was the only one left at the house. The shots were answered by shot from a Winchester down in the swamps, about 400 yards from the house, and when they went to look for Bill Brown, Bill Brown was gone.

King Edwards Trouble.

Perityphlitis, the malady from which
King Edward VII. is said to have been
suffering, is an Inflammation of the tis-
sues surrounding that curious physio-
logical relic, the vermiform appendix.
The idea of the ordinary operation in
appendicitis is to remove this little
blind pocket before the disease has
eaten a hole in it, and infected the
peritioneal, or main abdominal cavity.
In perityphlitis this infection has oc-
Cured, but by some good fortune, in
stead of going on to general perito-
nitis, an extremely serious and grave
complication. it has been cut off, or
localized, as it is technically called, SO
as to form an abscess about the exterior
of the appendix. 1t is, OF course, a
much more serious condition to oper-
ate upon than TIM ordinary unperforat-
ed appendix, but is far less serious
than case of perforation resulting in
general peritonitis. Perityphlitis may
be caused by several pathological con-
ditions, one of which is malignant dis
ease, or cancer. Where it is due to
cancerous growth it is of the greatest
gravitys even after an apparently sue
cesstully operation. as indeed are all
cancerous affections of the intestinal
tact.

Delights to Have Fingers Cut Off.

three fingers amputated since he has
been in there, the third one only last
week. and now the attendants report
that be is binding up another finger
that he may in a few months have it
cut off.
''When he decides he wants finger
off be binds 1t up and complains that
it hurts him. Even when we keep him
from binding it, he concentrates bis
mind on it and imagines that it hurts
him, so that after while it begins to
shrivel up and become useless. Itprac-
ticaIIy becomes dead. He is the hap
piest man In the world when be gets a

Doerner and he Is only thirty years

Hydr0graphv of the Southern Appa-
laehIan Mountain Region.

The Importance of the Southern Ap.
palachains as a source OF timber and
OF water supply, both for municipal
use and for the development of power,
is steadily gaining recognition in the
East, as is shown not only by the effort
to preserve large part of it as a Nat
ional forest reserve, but also by the
general interest which this movement
has aroused.
For a number of years the United
States Geological Survey. through the
Division of Hydrography. has been
making careful studies of the physical
conditions and water resources of this
section, and has gathered mass of
information which has lately appeared
in It's regular reports Nos. 81 and 63 of
the series of Water-Supply and Irriga-
tion Papers. The report has been COM
piled by Mr.. H. A. Pressey, who as en-
gineer in charge of the Atlantic coast,
has had unusual opportunities for OBJ
serving the existing conditions in this
section.
Among other aspects of the region
which are noted in the report, one of
the most impressive is the rapid de-
struction of the standing timber, and
Its extremely injurious effect. Not
only is the soil on the steep hillsides
left without protection. and soon wash
ed away by heavy rains, but its pro-
ductive qualities seem to remain for
only few years after the removal of
the trees thus making. continued and
successful agriculture impossible. The
destruction of the forests also greatly
impairs the efficiency of the streams,
which lose their steadiness of flow, and
hence their value as producers of
power.
Owing to the numerous steep slopes
in the region, many admirable water
powers have been found to exist, which
especially in the southern portion, in
the neighborhood of the cotton-grow-
ing districts, may be made of the ut
most value to the South as source of
cheap power. The report is illustrated
by half tones made from photographs,
which admirably depict the leading
characteristics of the country. 1t may
be had upon application to the Direct
or of the United States Geological
Survey.
