NUMBERING.


They Were Not Only Doing Mans
Work, but DOING II MANS Way.
Tho elephants round as were drag
ging the logs to the mill to be sawed.
They were harnessed for this with a
broad breast band and heavy chains.
A native looped the chains round the
logs, and the elephant started or with
them and deposited them on the troll
ley. Others were picking up the sawed
plaEks with their trunks and carrying
them across the yard to be piled.
A mahout sat OH the neck Of every
elephant, and II the animal picked up
too small a plank the mahout would
hint, with his iron spike, that two
might so to that load. Then, grunting,
the elephant would pick up the sec
ond with infinite delicacy of balance,
turn, march over and deposit them be-
side the pile, always returning for an
other load SO long as there were any
planks ready. When there were none
he would take his ease in the sun and
wait. or perhaps there were heavy logs

BILE Of picking 1t up any more than a

More fascinating It was than I can
tell to see the Jungle patriarch kneel
down to a heavy log, twist his trunk
round It, place it on the top Of the
pile and then calculate its position and
push and pull until it was square in
Its place. The oldest because the
most reasonable thing was to see the
elephant, pushing against the end Of a
very heavy log, stretch out one hind
leg to give himself balance and pur-
chase. That seemed to bring him
somehow very near to us. He was not
only doing our work, but he was do
ing it IN our way.
Presently, with one accord, all the
elephants dropped work and moved in
the direction Of the sheds.

METAL PENS.

One Of Ancient Roman Make has the

Some curious one has collected a
mass Of interesting facts concerning
metallic pens. Some Of these refer

fury, and, %curiously enough. in the
case Of the manuscript OF Robert d'Ar-
tots, the forger scribe, is said to have
used a bronze pen in order to disguise
his writing aud make his deception
more safe. A Roman metal pen is
said to have been found at Aosta. not
a mere stylus, but a bronze pen slit,
and there Is some evidence of a pen
or reed Of bronze nearly as early as
the invention Of printing in the if
teenth century. More than n hun
drcd years ago some steel pens were
made in Birmingham for DR.. Priegtly,
and some Of these placed into the
hands of Sir Josiah Mason in his early
days with Mr.. Harrison. but all seem TO
have been lost. The first pen of metal

is one In a Dutch patent book of 1T1T.
At about the same tire "a polite ode
Of Pope's refers to a steel and golden
pen" but these were evidently lux
uries only, and It was not until about
the end Of the first quarter Of the last
century that metallic pens became
more generally in use. In the Local
Notes and Queries in the Birming-
ham Weekly Post definite evidence
has been given of steel pens as early as
1906 and more commonly in 1917, but
it was about 1928 and 1924 that the
great revolution came by which pens
were made by a cheaper process-the
hand screw press which pierced the
pens from steel rolled into tube fash
ion and the joint formed the slit, but
these required considerable labor to
shape them into pen form. The use
Of the screw press belongs to the pc
Rod of John Mitchell, Joseph elliot
and Josiah Mason, but on u careful
review of the facts it seems to be
clear that John Mitchell has the best
claim TO be considered as the original
i%ntroducer Of press made pens.-Bufa-

Antiquity Of ChentIng.

False weights were found in the

Here is an odd hunting tale from
Russia: A certain count was out for
bears and, tracking a dam and cubs,
shot one of the latter, had it slung into
his sleigh and drove for home, about
fifty miles distant. Immediately after
his arrival his gamekeeper announced
that a huge bear had scaled the wall
Of the park. The count went out and
shot 1.-THE dam of the cub which he
had killed and brought homel The
faithful creature had followed her dead
offspring those fifty miles at the same

where she fell.

p. Can the books not adopted

other subject; for instance, a
grammar for an arithmeticg
"a. Under the law, can the
companies be required to ex-
change a book Of higher grade for
one of lower grade on Che same
subiect2n
Answer:
L. Section s of chapter So ~oi
the laws of 1904 provides that one
or more repositories shall be estab-
lished and maintained IN the State
by the contractor, where a suffi-
cient supply Of books shall be
kept to meet all immediate de,
mands, and that two or more
agencies for the distribution Of
books contracted for shall be
maintained in each county. The
contractors can be forced to meet
these requirements, but, in my
opinion, under the law, they are
not required to sell books to 9th
ers than those IN charge of the
agencies named in the law. The
law and contract fix the duties Of
the contractors and nothing more
than a performance of same can
be required of them.
2. The law means that books
legally in use in the schools at the
time the adoption of books pro
yided for in chapter 86of the laws
of 1904 was made may be ex-
changed for the books adopted
under the provisions of said chap
ter.
Therefore, | do not think the
contractors can be required to take
in exchange for the books adopted
under the provisions of said chap
ter other books than those adopt
edSby county or separate school
district for the adoption period
ending October /, 1905.
3. The law provides that old
books may be given in exchange
for new books of the same or
similar grade
I do not think the contractors
are required to take a grammar IN
exchange of an arithmetic.
II. | do not think the law re-
quires contractors to take book
of higher grade for one of a low
er grade, nor one Of lower grade
for one Of higher grade on the
same subject.
