plants could be bought two years ago.
Elephants, like all other Wild ani>
mails, are growing scarcer with the
settlement of the globe, and their
prices tend upward. More small ele-
plants than big ones are imported be-
cause they cost less to begin with ana
because they are easier and safer to
transport, and showmen like them.

plants are more tractable and easier

EFFECTIVE WORK OF WEEK.
capt. MdcbTlue . uyhohui,ih6 $780,
realized that a stand was hopeless, ex.
cept on Van Ness avenue. They couio
have forced their explosives further IN
the burning section, but not a pound on
the terrible guncotton could be or was
wasted. The ruined block that met the
wide thoroughfare formed a trench
through the clustered structures that
the confiagration, wild as it was, could
not leap. Engines pumping brine
through Fort Madison from the bay
completed the little work that the gun
cotton had left, but for three days the
haggard-eyed firemen guarded the nick
ering ruins.
The desolate waste straight through
the heart Of the city is mute witness
to the most heroic and effective work OF
the whole calamity. Three men did
this-three, simply, because they would
not trust their work to others-and
when their work was over and what
stood of the city for the first time
rested quietly, they departed as mod
estly as they had come. They were or
dered to save San Francisco; they
obeyed orders, and Capt MacBride and
his two gunners made history on tneu
dreadful night.
