Elephant Life In the JunqIss.

Without elephants jungles would be
virtually impossible. The great beasts
are mixture of strength and weak
ness, of craft and simplicity. The
paths through the jungle from village
to village are merely tracks from which
the interlacing foliage has been cut
and thrust aside and the virgin soil
trodden into a black mud After a
rain this mud is many feet deep, and
no living creature except an elephant,
a buffalo or rhinoceros could labor
through it. The elephant makes his
way by lifting one foot at a time and
inserting it deep into the slough in
front, Withdrawing another with q
sound like the popping of huge cork.
Nothing but ride on an earthquake
could be compared with the sensation
of being run away with by an ele-
plant. AS for stopping & m, some one
has we'll said that you might as well
try to stop runaway locomotive by
pulling with your walking stick on the
funnel as seek to check an elephant at
such a moment with a goad.

The Ground Is Alive.

We are so used to thinking of the soil
rs mere mineral matter that it comes
quite as a shock to find this is q mis-
take. AS matter of fact, the layer of
soft mold which clothes the ground in
oil cultivable districts and from which
vegetation springs is actually in great
part living layer of tiny plants and
animals. Interlacing threads of molds
and fungi, worms and grubs, creeping
insects, tiny root parasites. decaying
leaves and the millions of bacteria
which spring from them-all these are
mixed and mingled together for many
inches down below our feet in con-
fused mass Of life. Germs OF all sorts
swarm in countless millions. Indeed,
all the plants that grow and life that
exists on the face of the earth owe
their being to the fact that the ground
is alive. You take a shovelful of the
finest soil in the world and sterilize
it-that is, beat it till all the life in it
is destroyed-and then plant seeds in
1t. No amount of care or watering will
make those seeds grow Their life de-
ponds on the life in the soil around
them.-London Answers.

Land and Mineral Decisions.

The charaoterizing of land as coal
must be determined by the actual
production from mining on tract, or
by satisfactory evidence that coal
exists thereon in sufficient quantity
to make 1t more valuable for mining
than for agriculture.
The allowance of an application to
contest final entry is a matter rest
ing in the sound discretion of the
commissioner of the Land Office.
Local oRoers have no authority to
order a hearing on a final entry.
Second homestead entries may be
allowed by Act of April %, 1904 (33
Stat, 227), to persons who have made,
and also abandoned, former entries
prior to said Act.

Mysterious Bird of Death.

Defy1ng hunters bullets and
cameras. an uncanny snow-white
bird, as large as hen and as swift of
wing as an eagle, has lowered for
more than four months over the spot
where D. S. Cowell, a business man
of Alexandria, La, was shot and
killed near Winneheld, La, on Feb
ruary l In duel with John and
Philip Melton, brothers. Hundreds
of persons have visited the place
where the mysterious bird keeps
guard night and day. If driven away
it invariably returns and takes up
the watch.

NEW RULING ON POST CARDS.

Washington, July H. For years
ing to the United States from foreign
countries postal cards and post cards
(private mailing cards) with messages
written upon the front as we'll as
upon the back of the cards, although
in this country this advantage has
been denied the users of government
postal cards. Some months ago the
United States postal laws and regula-
tions we're amended so as to give that
privilege to buyers of post cards, but
such a concession was not made
applicable to postal cards. In order
to revoke this Inconsistency and to
prevent further confusion and annoy
ance to the public postmaster General
Meyer to-day promulgated an order
effective August l, 1907, providing
that the face side of a postal card
may be divided by a vertical line
placed one-third of the distance from
the left end of the card, the space to
be used for message, etc. The por-
ton to the right to be used for the
address only. A very thin sheet of
paper may be attached if it adheres
to the card and such a postal may
bear both writing and printing. Ad-
vertisements, illustrations or writing
may appear upon the back of the
card and upon the left third of the
front.
Postals bearing PARTICLES of glass,
metal, .tinsel or other such sub
stances are declared to be unmail-
able. except when enclosed in en-
velopes with proper postage. or when
treated in such manner as will pre-
vent the materials from being rubbed
off or injuring the hands of the per
SONS handling the mails.

Ice on the Moon.

The moon has been much Sstudied,
and 1t is sometimes said that its sur
face is better known than the geo.
graphy of certain parts of the earth.
In spite of this, however, says the
London Globe, there is still much
difference of opinion as to its real
nature and the cause of those opera
tions which have left their marks so
conspiouously upon it. Prot. Picker
ing, for example, has recently con-
cluded, from certain changes which
take place in the appearance of
certain parts, that the old theory of a
worn out cinder, where nothing ever
happens, must be discarded. He
considers, that is to say, that there is
proof of present-day lunar volcanic
activity as we'll as evidence of vegeta-
ton.
And in his recently published
work., p" The Moon in Modern Astron-
omy," Philip Fauth sets forth new
view of the moons institution. In
the first place, the author dwells on
the difficulty of interpreting the
appearances of the moons surface IN
terms of terrestrial volcanology. The
so-calied volcanoes of the moon can
not, he thinks, be due to the causes
which have produced those of the
earth. Their enormous relative size,
for example, is difficult to explain on
the view that they are the result of
similar forces. One of the lunar
features, known to astronomers as
Clavius, has diameter of 142 miles,
high. When this is compared with
the average size of the terrestrial
volcano, aud when it is remembered
that the earth is fifty times as large
as the moon, the difficulty of ac-
counting for lunar "volcanoes" by
forces similar to those which have
produced the volcanoes of the earth
is apparent And that the moon,
although so much smaller than the
earth. should have mountain peaks
rising to greater heights than those of
the Himalayas Is another difficulty.
70 account, then, for the known
phenomena of the moon, Mr. Fauth
proposes the following lunar theory :
Our satellite must be covered with a
thick layer of Ice, for nothing else,
he declares, will account for the ap-
pearanGes he has observed during the
fourteen days lunar day. Beneath
this crust of ice is an ocean, which
by its motions, due to tides, etc., has
produced the SCARED and fractured
surface with which we are familiar.
Inside these SHELLS of ice and water
lies a solid nucleus, which may be
looked upon as the real moon. The
author of this new theory agrees with
the older view that the moon has
no atmosphere. But II is difficult to
understand how it could have a sur
face of solid water without a conse-
quent envelope of water vapor.
Evaporation would take place from
the surface of the ice, forming an
aqueous atmosphere, from which the
moisture would be continually re-
turned by precipitation as snow.

into the stomach they may carry the
tapeworm OF dogs and cats, DiplIdlum
caninum. In Paris hospital an
entire tapeworm was expelled spon-
taneously from an infant nine months
old, and the infection was traced to
contamination of the child's milk
with deas. The embryos conveyed by
the insects develop very rapidly in
the stomach, tspeworms having been
found in bottle-fed infants only four
or FIVE weeks old.
The new high temperature Their
mometer of Heraus depends upon the
variation IN resistance to electric
currents with heating. 1t is made by
winding platinum wire on a small
tube of quartz, heating until the wire
adheres then incIosing the coil and
its core in larger quartz tube, and
again heating until the quartz meIts
around the wire. The resulting in
strument, recording temperatures as
high as 900 degrees c., is handy and
compact, resembling the ordinary
therm ometer in shape and application.

the night of July 3rd by Justice

On Monday committee from the
miners union of this town called on
the owners of the Utica mine, going
to the city for that purpose. They
were Informed that no concession
whatever would be made and were
also told that the owners were not
anxious to reopen the mines, as they
were making money by remaining
closed. On Thursday a committee
composed of j. E. Baker, John Heard
and John Peirano called on superin-
tendent Alex Chalmers of the
Lightner mine here, asking that a
satisfactory understanding be had, in
order that the trouble be settled. Mr.
Chalmers Informed the committee
that the only basis for a settlement
would be that the men return to work
under the same conditions as prevail
ed at the time of the strike was called
but that no shorter hours would be
granted, and that no recognition of
the union would be given. In view
OF the fact that James V. Coleman of
the Angels niue, has also declined to
grant any Of the demands made by
the union. the prospect for reopen
ing of the mines does not appear to
be very bright, unless the men are
willing to go to work under the
former, conditions. Angels Record.

Big Meal Burst Stomach.

Carl Schqster, a young German,
reached indianapolis. June Is from
Canton, Ohio, and he brought with
him such ravenous appetite that he
literally ate himself to death. After
tremendous meal he complained of
intense pains in his stomach and a
physician was hastily summoned, but
in few moments he died.
An autopsy on the theory that
Sehuster might have eaten something
poisoned, was held by the coroner,
but, instead, he found long rupture
of the stomach. which had caused
death. The organ was in a perfectly
healthy condition, and the coroner
found that the deceased had eaten SO
heartily that his stomach had burst.
