ELEPHANTS GOOD
WHEN BUSY

Speaking of big game, by way of
contrast, an animal trainer that is
with a big circus asserts that an ele-
plant never Injuries a person when it
is busy.
ut may sound strange he says,
but there is not case on record OF
one getting ugly when it was perform
ing or working. The reason, think,
is that the elephant is an animal of
one idea-that is, it can think of only
one thing at a time. That same trait,
I take it, is what makes an elephant
such vicious animal when it gets ug-
ly. 1t can think of nothing but what
has made it angry and it will not
stop until it has torn something ! to
pieces. oh, yes, an elephant can carry
a grudge- 1t never forgets an injury,
and it waits it's chance to get even;
but when it is busyit forgets the tricks
that have been played on it. 1t is
only when it has nothing to do that
it gets to brooding over it's troubles.
Human, Ell? Well I have known folk
with that sort OF disposition

ns1l Hands Black Faces

One of the most curious orders given
in the British royal navy is, '-All hands
black faces!'' And in order that this
may be adequately fulfilled each Of our
warshps carries among its stores 4
supply of such pigment as is used for
the same purpose on the stage. This
order is only given during the maneu-
vers as 4 rule, for when a night sur
prise is intended it is not only the YES
sells that are made as little visible as
possible, but the faces of the men must
be blackened, for when powerful nigh t
glasses are used the showing of Il white
face is far more palpable than any
landsman would suppose. - London

FLEA \ AGE
CALIFORNIA

Even heasF have their uses, it seems.
81 see that. the Cubs (the base ball
team are much bothered by Tie Cali
fornia fleas,'' say Charlie Dexter. in
the Seattle Times. .'Well, the Cali
fornia flea is the only drawback to
the California climate People who
have never seen the California flea
cannot imagine what these lerocious
creatures are really like. They are
far larger than any flea ever dream ed
OF in the East. and their appetites
are even larger than their psysiGues.
IT was batting once against Jay
Hughes, Seatt1e's pet pitcher, and the
bases were full, two out, and the last
half of the tenth. jay was sending
and three. Everything depended on
the next ball. Just as l gripied 1ny
bat to do or die one of those Ievelish
heas bit me between the shoulders
The bite was so severe that l let so
the bat and grabbed the bitten spot
instant the ball came squarely across
the pan and / was out.
Il have heard Of those fleas grow
ing so large and SO powerfu! that
they would run down pitchers sleeve
and grab his elbow just as he was
about to let go he ball, thus causing
a wild pitch or making him drop the

FAIR VISITORS CAN SMOKE
AND WALK ON THE GRASS

Smoking on the Worlds Fair
grounds is now permitted. The order
to that effect was issued yesterday.
The embargo against the weed" in
the great exhibit palaces is still en-
forced, however. The order against
smoking was enforced heretofore be-
cause of the infammable material scat
tered about. This has now been large
ly removed and the anti-SmOking or
der is no longer necessary.
There will be no keep off the grass
signs displayed. George F. Kess1er,
chef OF the landscape department,
says no barrier of any kind will be
placed upon the lawns. THE EXPOSE
ton built the Fair for the people," he
said, and the lawns, as well as the
other parts of the Fair, are for their
USE

Time Crazy Moscow.

Moscow seems to be city where no.
body knows with any degree Of GER
tainty what time it is. Arthur Sy-
mons in his book on ''Cities" says tina
no two clocks in Moscow agree. Even
in the best hotels a clock will solem '
strike a quarter of an hour before its
neighbor strikes I. The confusion is
increased by the fashion of sticking up
dummy clocks in the streets as adver-
tisements- The maddeninS moment
comes when you have to catch trai1,
at Moscow. The railway time tables
are worked on st. Petersburg time.
which differs by half an hour from
Moscow time. When you are told that
the ST. Petersburg express leaves at .
O'Clock you are in doubt as to whether
it leaves at $50, 0 or 9:3o by your care
fully adjusted watch.

Mechanical Reading.

Edith Wharton writes: 1.-The mechan-
ical reader, as he always reads con-
sciously, knows exactly how much he
reads and will tell you SO with the
pride Of the careful housekeeper who
has calculated to within half an ounce
the daily consumption of food in her
household AS the housekeeper is apt
to go to market every day at q certain
hour, so the mechanical reader has Of
ten a fixed time for laying in his in
tellectual stores, and not infrequently
he reads for just so many hours day

youthful diaries, 4 shall now COM
mence a course of poetical reading, be-
ginning with fifty hours Of Chaucer.
and. as I gave him one and one-half
hours last night it leaves me exactly
forty-cight and one-half.' is good ex-
ample of this kind Of reading"

TWO LOVES

One was a child's romance,
a girls bewi.dering dream,
Woven of fire and dew
And moonliglit's silver CLEAN;
OF the fragrance of the rose:
The glory of the stars,
The flash of sparkling waters.
The sunsets golden bars!
A thing of smiles and bushes
Quick thrills and throbbing heart,
A strange, mysterious glamour,
That babe the tear drops start.
One was wonlan's love,
Woven of many strands,
Richer than braided gold,
Stronger than iron bands;
A love that holier grew
Through all the changeful years,
That claSped those hands with JOY,
Yet wavered not for tears.
y love that loved through all things
Through sorrow, pain and death
Through all the bliss and all the bant
To which life answereth;

There is a fish that secures itsEpreys
like an artist, with regular :ttratessy,s
and, strange tc relate m ture has fur
nislledit with a full equipment for the
purpose-rod. line and bait. The angler
as it is called. is by no means {. beauty
It is about a yard long and has q huge,
toadlke head, an enormous. gaping
mouth and Formidable array OF teeth
The first dorsal, or back fin. is almost
| wholly wanting, its place being occu-
pied by two or three long. slender NOV
able spines which are fastened to the
body by means of joints. Oue is attach
ed by a hinge which permits of onlS
ba edward ann forward motion
The first spine is connected by reg
. ular ring and staple and admits Of
movement in all directions. as it is pull
ed this way or that by the muscles
This is the anglers pole. which contin-
ucs into a fine flament or line and at
the end there is q loose, shining slip Of
membrane which plays the part Of a
bait.
The angler fish is slow swimmer.
and it would have but little success if it
had to chase the swift, active fishes up
on which it feeds, SO it snares them
Partially hiding itself in the mud or
sand. it waves its long flaments with
their Offering tips AS is well known.
fishes are attracted by glistening OBJ
jects moved about in the water. The
nei ghboring fishes, following the in
stincts of their inquisitive nature, come
to examine the curious object, and sud
denly they find themselves snapped up
in the wide jaws of their hidden foe.
The angler is q very voracious crea-
ture and on several occasions it has
been known to seize n fish that had
been hooked and was being drawn to
the surface. In one such case the.
angler seized q Goldfish and would not
loosen it's grip until it was struck on
the head with q boat hook. On anoth =
er OCCASION the fish fell q victim to its
own gluttony, for, having dashed at
conger eel that had just been hooked
and having taken it into its mouth, the
eel contrived to escape through one of
the gill apertures, and thus it was the
unconscious means Of involving its cap
tor in its own fate.
Even the cork floats on lines and
nets have been swallowed by the
greedy fish, and when taken in a net
it devours its fellow prisoners with
perfect unconcern.

.'F'ew people know the many admira-
BILE qualities of the goat" said
breeder "Goats are the only animals
that will boldly face a fire, and they
are often kept in stables for the sole
purpose Of leading horses from the
stalls In case of conf1agration. Horses,
you know, will burn to death before
moving from the flames unless some
other animal leads them out. Goats
can foretell stormy weather and in
variably find shelter before storm
arrives. Even in domesticated life the
goat loves, to Chamber about on dizzy
heights and will generally be found on
q crag of rock or, If that is not availa-
BILE, on the roof of barn or the top Of
a barrel. The most valuable variety
of goat Is the cashmere, whose soft,
silky hair furnishes material for eX-
pensive fabrics. The cashmere Is q ma
tive Of Tibet, but the shawls are made
in France, Germany and in later years
in the United States. To make single
shawl q yard and a half square at least
ten goats are robbed of their coats.''-

P ACHY DERMS
in THE BATH

Its great fun to see an elephant
in bathing, and when a whole lot Of
them are in the water together it's
assight worth going far to see," Billy
Snyder, Central Parks elephant keep
er,,Swho used to be with circus be-
fore ne went with the city, says in an
interview in the New York Evening
Z Sun.afNVe used to let our elephants
4 in the show take a bath on Sundays
while on the circuit if a river happen
sSed.tog be near by. Sometimes we had
81 or 20 of the pachyderms that
needed bath, and we'd let them go
into the river in bunch. They
were like lot OF youngsters from
school that go in swimming in the
village pond. Once in while you'd
see one of them spouting water from
his; trunk, much like a whale. If the
bottom of the stream was muddy
they'd like it all the better. They
like to roll in the mud. 1t seems to
do their thick old hide good. To see
s2D7elepfants in the water, cutting UP
as the bathers sometimes do at Coney
Island, is circus in itself, and we
used to have crowds Of country peo-
pie along the banks watching the
i proceedings whenever we couldn't
help it. OF course we didn't propose
to give free exhibition on Sundays
or any other day, but We couldn't
always get a stream without the peo-
pie. An elephant can pull whole lot.
but he can push FIVE times. as much
as he can pull. Out in Michigan,
SO that 20 horses could not pull it
out, we'd put an elephant behind it
AND. he'd push it along in jifry. Tie
can work better than a locomotive at
times-E5I saw Albert, who killed
Sweeney, push 13 circus cars for 500
feet ION the tracks,

OF Til in Famous. I'm Il m
The name Of that old Indian king
who ruled tsrer most of eastern Virgin
Ia in the earliest colonial days 5is not
called as much now as 4 t was former
~ It survived in good old PohaW tan
county and in the Poyvhata pipe and
IN six different postofiices in different
states of the Union. In Kansas they
have PoEhattan, which, we suppose, IS
q 1nisspelliuls, following mispronunc1-
alton, OF Powhatan. But many peo-
pie Of this generation have forgotten,
II they ever knew, that King PoWha-
tuns summer capital was about haIf
a mile below Richmond. while his win
ter quarters were in Gloucester, and
that he was alternately q ..5cl friend
and a great enemy of C:t:iT::in John
Smith and that he was the father OF
Pocahontas, from whom descended
many yirginians of distinction.
But so it was, and all that sort OF
thing makes us close connections or
his. However, he was of rowing dis
position and moved his town Of tents
-tepees-from place to place, and 1T Is
"hack drivers history only that he
died at his sometime home near this
city, known as Powhatan.
We do not fail to remember that
Powhatan was the name of the James
river before the colonists intruded
their ships and skiffs upon it, but that
is another story.
Once it was quite common for Viz
cinia boy babies to be christened
."Powhatan" and girls "Pocahontas,'
but not so now. We can well under
stand how the latter name ceased to
be agreeable to ladies' since the usual
diminutive of it was "Pokie," but why
the royal name of Powhatan should
have fallen into disuse is not so obvi-
GUS However, a period came when
provision had to be made for the per-
petuation of the fame of George
Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Lafay-
cite, John Marshall, Patrick Henry and
other .patriot fathers" Then Andrew
Jackson and Winfield Scott had to
have their day, and yet later Lee,
Beauregard, Ashby and other COnfed-
crate names attained popularity. But
fashions change in names as they do
in clothes, and it may be that we shall
have a new crop Of "Powhatans" We
are not so hopeful about the re-esta b.
lishment Of "Pocahontas" in public
favor; the reason why we have already
given. But Pocahontns' other Indian
name was "hateo,' or ''Matoaca,"
and that Is pretty and is not liable to
any objection SO far as we can see.
When she and John Rolfe had made
a match she embraced Christianity
and was baptized under the name Of
Rebecca. But, all that aside, we con-
cludc by expressing our ardent hope
that the new Powhata babies may
have their names correctly pronounced.
We can tolerate no imitation Of the
sound of t'Manhattan.' Let it be good
old fashioned Virginia Powhatan with
the "h'' silent and the second accent
on "tan.''-Richmond Times-Dispatch.

the celebrated feast to which he in

$50! 1t consisted of 1000 different
dishes Of fish and 1000 Of fowls. with
other equally numerous meats. His
daily food was of the most rare and
exquisite nature-the deserts of Ly bia,
