sharp as the finest steel. The rat keeps
in constant practice. To gnaw OF the
leg Of living bird does not come amiss
and TO destroy the soles Of elephants

ago the elephants at the London zoolog-

restless, could not keep still, and ap-
peared tender about the feet The au-
thorities invoked the aid Of Frank Buck
land, the naturalist. He traced the cir
cumstance to rats. At night they stole
from their runs and as the elephants
slept calmly nibbled and tore at the
huge feet. The quicks had been eaten
completely of the mighty nails and the

similar tricks had been resorted to IN

SOME MASSIVE CLOUDS.

Scientists have recently been measur.

have arrived at some rather startling
conclusions. The dimensions Of single
clouds, as far as the area covered BY
their base Is concerned, vary, as anyone
can see, from the cloud the size Of a
mans hand to that which covers the en-
tire visible heavens; but the height of
clouds can be observed more definitely
and can be estimated with convincing
accuracy, and II is this height that large

usual for these clouds to measure FIVE,
six, or even eight miles from their fiat,
dark base, lowering mile or two above
the world. to their rounded, glistening
summit, splendid in the sunlight. And
in these eight miles the changes of tenn
perature are as great as those over many
thousand miles Of the earths surface
These clouds contain strata Of tenn
perature, narrow belts OF freezing cold
alternating with large distances Of rainy
mist and frozen snow and ice particles.
Hallstones, which are formed from
snow particle that falls from the upper
strata and is frozen hard In the freezing
belt and coated with added fee In the
wet belt, are often found with series of
layers in their formation, showing that
they have passed through this success

the following records, which go to show
that many recent discoveries that have
excited much comment were foreshad-

January, 1S53-Photographs in natu-

December, 1853-Discovery has been
made Of way Of heating houses by gas
and the use of coal and wood for cul-
mary purposes will pass away.
February, 1854 new method Of
transmitting articulate sounds TO a
great distance has been discovered. The
instrument is called telephone.

July, 1855-Attentlon has been called
