on the warpath. They had got up in
the morning to milk the cows and
found about 20 elephants in the barn
yard, making the COWS do a song and
dance. Pa told them there was no dan
ger at all, cause he would take any
elephant by the tail and snap its head
Off, like boys snap the heads off garter
snakes, and l told them that me and
the senator's boy stampeded the ele-
plants and We could drive them back
to town like a drove of sheep
The farmers thought we were great
and they followed us back to the farm,
where we found the herd Of elephants
had taken possession and were having
the time of their lives. About a dozen
OF the big elephants had found a couple
of barrels of cider in a shed and had
been drinking it, and when we got
there they were like section hands with
jags on.
Bolivar, the big elephant, was the
drunkest, and when he saw pa coming
with the gang of hands, with ropes and
spears, he winked at the other ele-
plants and seemed to say: Watch
me tree en- for he came out of the
gate and beloved, and made a charge
at the gang. and pa beat them all go
ing up crab apple trees. The senator's
son saw pa up tree, and he said: "Old

gentleman, if these are your animals,
OR insects, or whatever they are, you
ought to come down off your perch
and take them to Kelley cure, be-
cause they are intoxicated"
And pa came down and took fence
rail and sharpened it with an AK, and
he run it into Bolivar about a foot.
and Bolivar trumpeted for surrender,
and that settled the elephant strike,
for pa ordered Bolivar into the road,
and in five minutes the whole herd of
elephants was following Bolivar back
TO Washington, as meek as drunken

Photographic Novelty.

For producing the Photographic pos
tai card an apparatus is used in
France which records the human voice
upon a piece of pasteboard Of the form
of the card. According TO one report
the phonocard possesses numerous ad-
vantages. The recording of the voice
IS done by an ordinary photograph Of
simple construction, by means of
pencil with a sapphire point This
pencil makes it's impression upon a
suitable substance called 'sonorine'
spread upon the surface OF the card.
The "sonorine," which can be easily
spread over pasteboard, possesses all
the properties of wax cylinder, and is
in reality the invention. The signs
are impressed in form of spiral, be-
ginning at the margin of the card and
ending in a very small circle, and are
impressed so deeply that the stamping
by postal authorities can only destroy
two or three words. The card has
room for 70 to so words. By its aid
people who cannot write may now send
communications through the post that
would be more easily understood than
the written kind.

SURGEONS USE BLUE LIGHT
According to Physicians of Geneva
It Is Valuable as an An
aesthetic.

A rather new use of blue light has
been reported from Geneva-namely,
its use as an anaesthetic in dentistry.
ASCERTAIN the effects of light of diff
ferent colors upon the nerves, Profs.
Redard and Emery found that blue
light was very soothing. The some
what remarkable statement is made
that 16-candle-power blue light, di-
rected upon the eyes OF patient for
three minutes, caused him to lose
senSitivenesS to such an extent that
a tooth was painlessly extracted. with
out after effects Of any kind. Whether
the anaesthetic was general or only
local is not reported.
1t is probable that had Gen. Pleas
anton been true scientist and a
skillful experimentalist he might
have made some discoveries of value
to the world, for, as DR.. Finsen him
self has saiu: THE general was on
the right track" In 1877 Pleasanton
published a book with the following
explanatory title: The Influence OF
the Blue Ray of the Sunlight and of
the Blue Color of the Sky in Develop
ing Animal and Vegetable Life in
Arresting Disease and in Restoring
Health in Acute and Chronic -Disor-
ders to Human and Domestic Ami
mails, as Illustrated by the Expert
ments of Gen. A. ]. Pleasanton and
Others Between the Years 1861 and
1876"
The book is printed on blue paper,
and abounds in fallacious and dog
matte statements. One of his dicta is:
Light is the great source of terrestrial
electricity, magnetism and heat"
Quite a large portion of the book is
devoted to testimonials from physi-
clans and various others relating to
the efficacy of the blue-ray treatment
in cases of general i'll health, rheuma-
tism, etc. Pleasanton believed that
the results claimed by him were due
to the 'juXtapOsitiOn of plain uncOl-
ored glass and blue glass in the pass
age of sunlight and the transmitted
blue light of the armament and the
eliminated blue rays Of the sunlight

Against Americans.

Reports continue to come to the de-
partment of state from diplomatic and
consular agents in China showing an
increase of feeling against Americans
End things American as expressed in
edicts issued by local authorities in
various parts of the empire. For
six months the situation in China has
been the subject Of concern to the
department, and Mr.. Rockhill, United
States minister at Picking, is under in
structiOns to keep Washington thor
oughly informed Of the Developments
in the situation. While not admitting
that the situation is one of immediate
danger. the officials here Will not
be at all surprised at what month
may bring forth. Although at the out
set demanding only return to the
provisions of the original exclusion
treaty of 1880, which excluded from
this country Chinese laborers, without
specifying the classes of Cinnamon
which could be admitted, In some

declaring that if the boycott is rlgldly
adhered to the United States will be
forced to foregO any exclusion at all.
Although apparently directed against
Americans, the feeling of i'll will that
seems to be growing in various parts
of the empire is declared to be really
foreign. Informal representations
regarding the Chinese situation al
ready have been exchanged between
some of the European powers, but thus
far this country has not called foreign
nations into consultation because there
is d very general feeling among the
European powers that the Chinese are
merely retaliating against the United
States government, and so long as the
anti-foreign feeling is confined to
Americans the Europeans will bide
their time.

The queerest thing happened that
night. The senator's boy spoke of our

The show remained in Washing on
two days, cause it took all one day and
night to catch the elephants, after the
senator's boy and l turned the rats and
mice loose in the ring while the ele-
plants were forming a pyramid. Pa
and all the circus hands had to go
away down towards the Bull Run bat
tlefield TO round them up, and young
Mr.. Senator let me ride one of his
ponies and he and l went along to help
catch the elephants.
We went out through Alexandria to-
wards Bull Run battlefield. There we

and the elephant handler, and we met

with their families, stampeding like
