TRADE IN ELEPHANTS SMALL
Ceylon Directory Shows That Only Eight of the Animals Were
 Exported in 1903.

Tn the new Ceylon Handbook and Di- rectory an interesting record is that of the export of elephants from the island during the past Al years In 1903 there were only eight of these pachyderms sent out of the country, one to British India and seven to Germany. The price paid for these animals was I, ,500 rupees, giv- ing modest average of 825 rupees each. A royalty of rupees 200 per head was inn posed in 1873, and the number of ele- plants exported, which had fallen low before then, dwindled in the next three years to three and even to one. In 1882 the royalty was reduced to Rs. 100. in the hope that business might revive and en- couragement be given to supplying the new demand for Ceylon elephants in the Continental menageries. The rajahs' courts in India had previously formed the chief market for them. The total number sold in the time treated of was 2,225, or an average of 56 per annum. MT. Alfred Clark, an expert, estimates that there are now only 2.000 elephants in Ceylon. The royalty was again raised to Rs. 200. Whether the effect of this will be to permit the animals to increase in undue proportion to their available haunts or that sportsmen shooting ele- plants will counterbalance the decrease in the export remains to be seen.

DEVELOP PECULIAR HEARING
Employees Catch Words Easily in Din of Mill, But in Quiet They
 Are Very Deaf.

People who have worked years in mills and shows develop a peculiarity of hearing that is paradoxical," re- marked the manager of big manufac- turing establishment. to a Philadelphia Record man.
 "They are deaf at home and wonder fully acute of hearing in the work room. Tn a quiet place, where the or dinary tone of voice is distinct and sharply defined above all other sounds, they have to be almost yelled at by others conversing with them, and yet in the din of mill they can carry on conversation where the average per son could not hear shout. Often a visitor comes here to see friend at work, and while the visitor half the time is unable to hear his own remarks above the racket the worker catches the words without difficulty. Yet if the two were in room away from the mill it would be the mill employe who would have trouble going ahead with the conversation, unless loud speech was 9resorted to. Away from the clat- ter of machinery to which his ears have been accustomed for years, the mill hand sis more or less deaf, but in the midst of the rumble his sense of hearing is very keen It's odd, but it's a fact"

DISTINGUISH FLEA's TREAD
Many Persons Possess Great Quick ness in Small Sounds-Trick
 of Rabbits.

The quickness which some persons pos- sess in distinguishing the smaller sounds is very remarkable, declares Ma ture. A friend of the writer has de- clared he could readily perceive the mo- tion of a flea, when on his nightcap, by the sound emitted by the machinery of his leaping powers. However extraordi- nary this may appear, we find a similar statement is given in the ingenious work upon insects by Kirby and Spence, who say: "I know of no other insect the tread of which is accompanied by sound, ex- cept indeed the flea, whose steps wom- an assured me she always hears when it passes over her nightcap, and that 1t clacks as if it were walking in pattens!" If we can suppose the ear to be alive to such delicate vibrations, certainly there is nothing in the way of sound too diffi- cult for it to achieve Cats and dogs can hear the movements of their prey at in- credible distances, and that even in the midst of noise which we would have thought would have overpowered such effects. Rabbits, when alarmed, forci- bly, strike the earth with their feet, by the vibrations of which they communicate their apprehensions to burrows very re- mote.

APPLE IS FOOD OF GODS.
Cactus Button Commanding High Price Is Said by Indians to,Be
 Meal of Divinities.

Certain of the Indian tribes of Mexi- co have a curious belief about the cac- tus button. This is a small apple of a certain kind of cacti. Before it is ripe it is plucked and pressed flat until it is about the size of an American 5O- cent piece, but of about half the thick ness. These cacti buttons are sold at quite a high price, because the plant is somewhat rare and is found only in high, rocky places. generally difficult of access. This cactus has the effect of leaving the most wonderful and rose-colored dreams to him who in- dulges in it. The story of the Indians is that this cactus was once the food of the gods. The evil spirit stole it from men who had found it and begun to eat it. He hid it in the steep mountains, where it was lost for many hundreds of years But man, who was born with taste for it in his mouth, never gave up the search for it until, at last, he found it. It still has the power to give one visions of heaven, it's ancient home.
