New Source Of Wealth.

The tests in the gas producer at the
government plant have shown that
many fuels Of such low grade as to be
practically valueless for steam furnace
purposes, including slack coal, bone
coal and Ignite, may be economically
converted into producer gas and may
thus generate sufficient gas power to
render them of high commercial value.
In this way Ignite beds underlying
from 100000 to 100000 acres OF
public lands, heretofore supposed to
have little or no commercial value, are
shown to have large value for power
development. This is of Importance
to the west and makes possible q great
industrial development.

ELEPHANT TRAVEL.
An Uncomfortable and PsrlIous Trip
In a howdah.

In a Howdah.
There were two elephants at our
disposal, and myself and the in
terpreter rode the first, each &C
cupying half Of the howdah. The
howdah has peculiar and objec-
tionable habit Of nearly succeeding
in cutting your legs in two. If you
hang your legs outside you may pad
the edge as much as you like, but il
you are new to the game you will
wake in about half an hour from
an uneasy doze with the painful
conviction that the lower halves of
your legs have dropped off.
On squirming up into position
from which you can view the out
side world you will see they are still
dangling there, but with an ire
sponsibility which suggests that
they have been frayed through TO
the last shred. Abnormal efforts al
low you to drag them safely inside,
and you think it will be better in
future to keep them there.
The elephant is almost as fine a
vehicle to sec the surrounding coun-
try from as London bus, and there
is a considerable element of excite
ment in his progression. The ele-
plant rode had fatal habit when
1t came to a river bank or bit of
rough ground of looking around and
picking out what seemed tho worst
bit he could see.
Down one side of river it seem
ed as if he was engaged in trying to
stand on his head, and / could look
out of the howdah, although | was
lying therein, and observe the fishes
darting over the stones in the wa
ter Just under my lords noble fore
head. More than once on these jour
neys the beast would patiently
SLOUGH through the trees and bush
es off the track in search of some
thing edible quite regardless of the
fact that the branches threatened to
sweep howdah and everything else
over the stern.
But one of the most peculiar
sensations was when they took it
into their heads to have scratch
against the telegraph poles. 1t
would be q wonderful line which
could withstand the solid work tho
elephant expects its posts to carry
out, and when the No. Q beast lean
ed too hard and the post snapped 1
could almost see the mild and some
what indignant surprise reflected
from one intelligent face to the
other.-Slngaporo FREQ Press.
