Should all the pending estate
board" bills become law this already
board-ridden state will be in a most
deplorable condition indeed. There
are bills pending which provide for a
state board of surveyors, board of
chiropractic examiners, a board of
horseshoers, board of railway tele-
graphers, state highway commission
and several others. Some day there
will be reaction and our statesmen
will awaken to the fact that what the
state needs is not more boards but a

The Indian elephant named Fritz in
the geological gardens of Berlin was
Europe's largest animal until it finally
had to be killed for distemper. Dr.
Schilling was appointed hangman.
First he tried strangulation by means
of ropes and pulleys, but the ropes
broke and the elephant remained in
tact. Next he tried poisoning. The
animal was given fodder of fresh ba-
nanas, which was devoured with a
relish. Then a few bananas were
dipped in carbolic acid, but no amount
of coaxi1g could make Fritz "go" them
Finally shooting was tried. The heav-
lest big game rifle was procured and
a shot was fired into the left armpit
The elephant merely looked around In
surprise, the bullet having flattened
against the shoulder blade. Then q
Maxim gun was pulled up. A fusillade
of projectiles was pumped into the big
beast under the right armpit. The ele-
plant went down like house. In its
death struggle, which was studied by
many scientists, it broke all its chains
and reduced part of the iron fence in
the paddock to scrap iron.

In order to find ships position
when approaching the land in a fog
soundings are taken with the "deep sea
lead" This lead weighs twenty EIGHT
pounds and is attached to line which
is marked off in fathoms by bunting of
various colors, pieces Of leather and
knots. Bored in the base of the lead
is a hole about two inches deep, and
this is filed with tallow, so that the
gravel or shells at the ocean bottom
will adhere to it, and the nature of the
bed may be thus ascertained. When
the lead is thrown overheard the wa
ter's depth is noted on the line, and
this and the adherence to the tallow
when compared with the description
given on the chart will give the ships
position with tolerable accuracy.

thus describes a storm on the Pacific:
when l say that the waves ran
mountain high l am not exaggerating
the situation in the least The tug
would be poised on the crest of a sea
and then be plunged down into valley
Of water which seemed a mile below
US. At times the moon would come
out through the clouds, and In the I'M
certain light the waves seemed twice
as high. The wind was blowing a per-
feet hurricane, and our lee rail was I'M
der water all the time. The angry sea
appeared raging above, below and all
around us, and nearly every wave
into which we dipped would wash over
the tug. 1t was impossible to remain
aft, for the lower deck was flooded"

In the life of r. S. Hawker the ia.

One day laborer at Tamerton came
to Hawker in great trouble, saying that
a sack of potatoes had been stolen
from his garden, and would his rever-
ence kindly help him to discover the
thief.
1t was Sunday, and they were on
their way to morning service

The Breeding Stone.

There was curious superstition
which prevailed in Essex half a cen
fury ago. 1t was believed that certain
stones possessed the power of breeding
other stones. | remember being taken
by man of the upper laboring class
to see a well known breeding stone
which lay on the sward by the side of
a lane in the parish Of South Weald,
near Brentwood. 1t was seemingly
water worn block of sandstone or pos
sibly, have since thought, of pudding
stone, which would explain great
deal.
1t was larger than a mans head,
with a cup shaped cavity the size of a
small orange, in which lay pebble
about as big as an acorn. was told
that this pebble continually grew lar
ger and that if it were removed the
breeding stone would begin to breed
another. 1t was evident that the man
firmly believed what he told me, and
he got quite angry when | ventured to
cast a doubt upon the story.-Notes
