blow with it which will often fell the largest animals. With his big and pe- culiarly formed hind leg he can kick with tremendous force either forward or backward, and as quickly as a mule or broncho. The mail elephant in Asia and both sexes in Africa are armed with long sharp tusks, weighing from 75 to POO pounds each, which are used with deadly effect in tossing an antagonist. Finally a large elephant bull is ten or twelve feet high and weighs from 12,0N0 to 14,O00 pounds. Jumbo, the largest elephant ever in captivity, was eleven feet high and weighed 13,000 pounds. This enormous bulk, when hurled upon an. antagonist, would alone be sufficient to crush any but the most redoubtable
 The conclusion that the elephant is Su- preme as fighter which Is drawn from his immense size and his formida b les weapons, is sustained by the attitude to- ward him of all other animals except man. He Is recognized by all the low CT animals as their undouhted master. The lion and tiger seldom attack him ex- cept in self-defense. Even the stupid rhinoceros, which assumes the aggress- i've toward every other living creature, usually has discretion enough not to try issues with the majestic elephant.
 Dangerous Enemy.
 The elephant is not only dangerous enemy to fight with when he is infur- ated, but he is also a hard one to es- cape from. His immense bulk does not prevent him from running with astonish- ing speed. When chasing a hunter on horseback the African elephant some times goes for a short distance at a rate Of twenty miles an hour. H. can run a mile at the rate of fifteen miles an hour, and he can maintain for a long time a speed of ten miles an hour. The ground of the regions in which he is hunted is usually uneven and covered with trees and bushes. This gives him [ great advantage over the feetest and most powerful horse, and if the hunter should fly in straight line ahead ofShis pig pursuer he would almost certainly be overtaken and killed.
 Various methods are used in hunting elephants. The natives of Central Al rica sit in tall trees and drop long. heavy daggers into their backs. A little bushman sometimes darts under ele- phant, makes deadly swor-- thrust in to his. belly, and escapes almcct before the big beast knows he Is near. The na- tives consider elephant meat a deicacy. Many elephants are also shot by sports men for their tusSs. and many are cap tured alive for draft and show pur- poses,
 One of the most remarkable methods of elephant hunting is that employed by the Hamran Arabs. Three of these agile and muscular fellows go out together on horseback, armed only with long, straight. two edged swords. When a

to respond to Secretary Hays note to the powers urging the respecting of the neutrality and administrative entity of China, and 1t is believed that Japanese will be greatly opposed to the suspension of the agreement of the belligerents to limit the zone of operations in the effort to adhere to Secretary Hays request, In the event, however, that Russia deter mines to withdraw her adherence to this principle, 1t will be necessary for Japa- nese as the first belligerent to follow suit and she will probably do 1t quickly If Russia reaches this decision.
 There is already abundant evidence in diplomatic circles that the powers pro- posed to urge upon Russia informally if possibly but none the less strongly, the universal menace that will be constituted by the upheavel In China that will cer- tainly follow violation of her neutrality by either of the belligerents.

DANGEROUS WHEN AT BAY

It is probable that in a fair fight the elephant can whip any other animal that live, says writer in the Chicago Tribune. He deserves the title, king of beasts" which has been widely but wrongly given to the lion. The elephant is by nature a nervous and timid an- imal. He usually avoids trouble. In his wild state he has an instinctive dread of man. He has been known, when be- ing used in tiger hunt, to turn tail and fly for no better reason than that a hare ran out of the tall grass and bolted be- tween his legs. After he has once been bitten on the tender upper part of his trunk by a royal Bengal tiger the Indian elephant is liable to become panic strick- rocious, animals. t
 But when the elephant is attacked, and especially when he is cornered, he fights with blind courage and fury. and then his immense size and his peculiar weapons of defense and offense enable him to conquer not only the tiger and the lion but the even more formida ble buffalo bull and rhinocerous. rhinoc- erous can kill an elephant by driving it's sharp, powerful horn into his belly But the chances are many to one that, in a fair fight, the rhinocerous would not be able to use his horn in this way
