 doubtful If the greatest hunter who ever
 lived has witnessed a display of animal
 daring and sagacity equal to this realis- tic scene. By nature elephants woul~ not appear to be well adapted for shooting the chutes and trick diving but this highly trained herd is sid to take to the water like ducks, and not only display an
 amazing degree of tractability but also an evident zest in their act They are
 natives of Africa and are mere babies,
 as elephants go, ranging in age from 10 to 20 years Besides giving two perfor-
 mances every day they take an early morning swim in the mimic Ganges.
 where they simply enjoy themselves as on a summer holiday.
 Altogether this troupe of elephants is
 the finest collection ever seen in civiliza- tion To accommodate their great /, weight the properties used in their act
 are made of the stoutest and strongest l materials. The great steel framework that supports the platform and chute is said to be not unlike a miniature Tay Bridge. When not in use it is folded up by hydraulic machinery and put away easily as if 1t were a stepladder

ECCENTRIC AMERICANS.
Death of Livingstone, Whose Sister
 Was the Talk of Paris.

New York.-John Livingstone, whose death has ust been announced here, was member of a prominent New York fam. fly. says Paris dispatch to the Ameri- can.
 Exactly three years ago his sitter, Maria died in hospital at Neuilly, and he had been in the French capital during two years past endeavoring, on the part of himself and two brothers, to secure pos session of her estate.
 The sister was a mystery to Parisians for twenty years prior to her death She dressed fantastically and was possessed of many eecentricities. She continually called at the United States legation or the legations at Paris with complaints about her neighbors, and met and fell in love with a clerk at the consulate. On one visit she drew $400OO from her pocket and offered it to him as an indication of her regard, after she sat for hours outside the consulate for a glimpse of the clerk all though she was then 80 years old.
