This new invention leaves the straw in

constructed that it takes no more pow
er to operate 1t than the independent
swinging stacker. This machine has
been given several practical tests.

Paris is digesting the biggest ele-

without any. notable event. One day
he went forth in search of big game.
just at the moment when he had be-
gun to despair he perceived two large
elephants looming up before him.
Hardly had he prepared to fire when
another charged out of the thicket at
him.
The viscount. nothing daunted, fired
two shots at the first, two at the Sec
ond and pumped a volley into the
third, killing all three. His deeds of
valor did not end there. Three other
elephants then appeared. The six men
accompanying the viscount quickly
relieved him of his emptied weapons
and passed him another loaded one.
Then he attacked the three others with
| such deadly effect that they sue
cumbed.
Thus in less than four minutes Wis.,
count Bourg de Bozas killed with his
own hand six mighty elephants.

atmosphere of Westminster Abbey ev-
cry day instead of the sweet incense
one might expect to find there. This
is the result of an innovation started

making the abbey ready for TIE coro-
nation to spare 90 minutes from their
dinner hour for religious worship. He
gave them an ounce of tobacco each,
telling them they COULD sit still an
smoke during the service and make
themselves happy. So each day at
noon the men sit on the stone benches
and smoke while the services proceed.
