We note the item In the wellington COL
umn last week. The suggestion that
there are any differences between the
members Of the church In South Willing
and those on the Hill Is ridiculous. And
In regard to the fact that the parsonage
on the Hill Is not occupied by the pastor,
we dislike to admit the truth of one mans
statement that 1t is due to the fact that
the South Wellington members are more
wicked, and need to be under the constant
watchfulness Of the pastof.

ELEPHANT FIGHT IN INDIA DESCRIBED


It will come as surprise to many
people to know that elephant fights
still take place in India. Such a con-
test is thus described:
In the centre of the arena at about
forty yards distance from either end,
is a circular brick erection. The head
of the elephant stables and director of
the fights, dressed in white, with a
European riding whip in his hand,
stood on this erection, directing the
operation of bringing the second ele-
plant into the arena. AT the other
end of the arena is another building
about ten or twelve feet high, and of
the same diameter as the first, but it
is composed of thick circular wall,
with openings in it. The use of these
structures will be seen further on.
The two elephants selected to fight
on the present occasion We're fine
tuskers, the one named Kanaya and
the other Ganesh Guj. The former
was thirty-two years old and eight
feet nine inches high. Ganesh Guj. or
the wise fighter" was forty-two years
old and eight feet five inches high
and they were both about ten feet
long from the top of their foreheads
to the root of the tail They were
chained together and likewise their
hind feet secured by strong iron
chains, and chains again from these

rightful tenant of the pot. A curious
instance of the wonderful force exert
ed by growing vegetation is related in
the Gardeners Magazine. This force
seems all the more remarkable when
exerted by light and unsubstantial
mushrooms, but does not appear so
extraordinary when caused by the ex-
pansion of a hardwood tree. A few
weeks ago some half-hardy ANIMALS
were sown in a frame just cleared of
a winter crop in the gardens of KEEL
sey park, Beckenham England, and
the lights closed to hasten germina-
ton. Some days afterwards signs of
cracking were observed in the brick
work, and gradually a block weighing
in the aggregate Ia cwt. was pushed
out of position. After cutting out sew
eral bricks mass of mushrooms was
found, 8 pounds 3 ounces in weight,
growing in the center of the wall. The
mycelium had run freely in the NOR
tar and on the inner face of the bricks.

A Botanical DeIilah.

The Trinidad Botanical Department
proposes a unique plan for the exter-
mination of the destructive sort of
cockroaches which prey upon orchids.
1t recommends the plentiful use of
pitcher plants as sort of floral watch
dog. This peculiar plant possesses the
property of capturing and killing in
sects which venture into its enticing
urnshaped blossoms in search of the
seductive bit of honey dew which may
be found there. Cockroaches are
peculiarly susceptible to the blandish-
ments of this Delilah of the botanical
kingdom, and are an easy prey. They
follow their noses" when they scent
the delicate fragrance and creep into
the gaily Haunting pitcher of nectar
only to find a tragic end. 1t is a val
ley of deadly Upas, for the victim is
at once closed in by the sucking petals
and his life is literally squeezed out
of him. Seldom, indeed, does one
ever escape from the cannibal clutch
of the pitcher plant.
