Elephants have been used as adj
juncts to stage pageants, as Access
series to dramatic effects, and there
have been trained elephants in me-
nageries and circuses, but it has re-
NAMED for the Hippodrome people of
London, England, to use these great
beasts as part of the list of characters
in melOdrama.
The piece in which the elephants
appear is entitled "The Golden Prin-
cess and the Elephant Hunters" and
was written in collaboration by Ru-
dolph de Cordova and Mrs. Alicia
Ramsay. There are all sorts of ex-
citing scenes in the play, and the eli
max is reached when fifteen ele-
plants, each weighing over three
tons, in order to escape from their
pursuing hunters, plunge over river
bank into the waters below.
AS may be imagined, the splash
made by forty-five tons of elephan-
tine flesh is prodigious, and so is the
effect on the audience. The river
scene is produced by gigantic tank
set up in the floor of the Hippodrome
and surrounded by tropical growths,
while peep behind the scenes shows
an inclined plane leading up to a
chute set at an angle of forty-five de-
grees and also masked with verdure.
The elephants are driven up the in
clined plane, whose only outlet is the
chute, and down this they have been
trained to intrust themselves and
slide. It is, of course, Shooting the
chutes" on gigantic scale, but is
none the less a startling innovation
in melodrama.-New York American.

LANDSCAPE PHOTOGRAPHY.
This Is the Most Encouraging for
Beginner-It Gives Results.

Beginner-It Gives Results.
The most encouraging Out-of-door
subjects for the beginner are land
scapes, so we shall speak Of these first.
The most important point in the pho
tographing Of landscape is the selec-
ton of it; the choosing of a bit Of
scenery which, when translated to
black and white, will form an inter-
esting picture. You must always bear
in mind that the beautiful colors which
you see in nature and upon the ground
glass will not be present in the photo
graph, which must rely for it's beauty
upon form and light and shade. When
you wish to photograph landscape,
take plenty of time to think about it.
After you have chosen your subject
determine the point Of greatest inter-
est, and then decide whether the pic
ture will look. best with this point
directly i'll the center, to one side, or
toward the top or bottom.
If you live near the spot you intend
to photograph, it will pay you to notice
at what time of year it is most beauti-
full. Some landscapes look very COM
monplace in summer, but make stun
ming pictures when half buried in the
snow. Waterfalls often look best in
early spring, because there is greater
volume of water pouring over them
at that time than at any other.
A most interesting series of pictures
may be made by choosing a beautiful
bit of landscape and photographing it
from the same point at frequent inter-
walls throughout the year. The first
picture, we will say, is taken when
the ground and trees are covered with
SNOW; the second when most of the
snow is melted, and the rest lies in
patches here and there; the third when
the fields are flooded with rains. After
these would come pictures showing
the trees in bud, in leaf, in blossom,
with fruit, and later dislnantled with
the frosts Of Philadelphia
