and then turned to the judge.

I'm certain regions of Africa"
writes an old hunter, elephants are
still numerous. This is particularly
the case in the country lying between
the Victoria and Albert lakes, which
is very hilly and covered by much for
est. Their tracks are visible every
where, although they themselves are
but rarely seen. The damage done
by elephants to these forests is incred-
ible. I have more than once come
upon spots where these huge beasts
would appear to have held kind of
elephant carnival, apparently for no
other purpose than. that of ,Wanton
destruction. A large area covering
many acres would be completely
stripped of trees, nothing but jagged
stumps sticking up few feet from
the ground, remaining Of what had
once been thick forest Masses of
large trees would be uprooted and
hurled about in every direction, many
of them being tossed bodily to long
distance from ~their~originaf position:
In many cases the entire foliage
would remain intact, showing plainly
that food could not have been the pri-
mary object of this wholesale destruc-
ton

Scientific Pie Dish for Making DigeStible Pies

One of the famous tests Of Ameri-

nd is found wanting; if they are
light and flaky, melting in the mouth

Aen her vocation is unquestioned.
But the most experienced OF house
ives know that pie crusts are un-

buttons they are occasionally muffin
ms, and that pie is a failure. To part
y obviate this uncertainty there is
amiliar expedient-the placing of a

The cup device was useful, but not
perfect. There was difficulty about
the escape Of steam. It has remained
for a physician-Dr Adcock, evident

Several times Mr.. Goodyear tried to
draw his distinguished attorneys at

slightest interest in it. The brandy
of Philadelphia was apparently the on
ly topic which interested him and he
always required to it.
Mr. Goodyear left him somewhat
brusquely at his hotel When he re-
turned to his Office his story was any

Dog Was Not Impressed

knit my brows and trained my lights
on the dog when he came bounding
and barking toward me.
1T was all so quick that really up
to this good day I cannot say whether
I looked that dog squarely in the eye.
About the only thing I remember
clearly is yellow streak which
seemed to be coming my way. That
dog landed squarely on my parapet,
tunneled under my 'counterscarp, bopa-
barded my brisket, executing few
jiu-jitsu stunts while promenading on
my neck, and cut other capers which
completely bewildered me. If that
dog had any eyes concealed about his
person I never found them and if my
own eyes were of any particular SER
vice to me never found it out.
"Since that experience I have had
little respect for and no confidence in
the theory Of checking and cowing a
vicious dog by looking him in the eye.
Others may resort to this method
if they please, but as for me, my
legs and a hickory stick are the only
weapons / shall rely upon when the

Between the spiders and scorpions,
those grayish, lobsterlike foes of ev-
cry living thing, which Turk in old
walls and beneath the debris of ruins,
silent, patient, giving the sting that
kills and then sucking the victims
blood, there are points in common"
writes F. G. Af1alo, the traveller and
writer OF London. This very habit
of sucking blood is shared by them,
for the scorpion does not tear its vic
TINS flesh with pinchers, like a cray
fish, but sucks the juices through a
small and tubular mouth not unlike
that of spiders. Both of them breathe
through lung-openings in the abdomen
and in each the number of legs~sis
eight. not six, as in insects. The lat
ter class, which form the food of the
smaller spiders, are enormously re-
garded as safe if they have wings to
fly. Even in England there are spiders
which run SO swiftly and leap with
such precision that, apart from the aid
of webs, few but the largest insects
are secure from their attacks. In
Australia there are parachuting spid-
ers which sail obliquely down from
the tree tops, and these must be dead
ly to encounter. Let us give the spider
its due. Even those who willingly
concede it's diligence grudge it the
undeniable attribute of cleanliness.
Few created animals are more
lOathsome than the scorpion. There

In another moment (the eyes of all
the piazza being upon him in the
meantime), he grabbed his right
shoulder and cried:
81 think it's here!"'
A second later he changed his grab
to the left side of his chest and de-
clared that the lizard certainly was
there.
The mother carefully searched both
places, but there was no lizard.
II think" said the boy, a little later.
II think he's gone down in my trou-'

gone there he's got to stay until + get

And he did stay until the party had
finished their drinks.
There was evidence that the lizard
was eventually recovered in the seclu-
