by what they read OF astrono,nical
marvels, and II their desire to see some
OF these things with their own yes
intellectual gain. not only for the, In
dividuals Immediately concerned, but
for the cause Of science and general
education.
We have in this country h great
est telescopes in the whole world, but
they are devoted to the advance OF
science, and only directly to its diff
FUSION. It is only the professional as
tronomers, wishing to employ such In
struments In technical work. that get
the a OF the men who possess the
necessary money. More than once q
use and instruction Of the public has
fallen under the practically exclusive
control of professionals, n the curl
osity OF outsiders has remained unsat-
listed. This curiosity Is perfectly legit-
innate, for In its very nature 1t is
highly intellectual. and it ought to be
recognized and provided for.
On no side is nature capable OF up
lifting the mind SO effectually as on
the side OF astronomy. 1t Is a correct

like q selfish spectator at a panorama

Passing of the Working Elephant.
From the Southern Workman.

- IA LAG " vi nAA1o4As
The laboring elephants are in their
prime when they are 25 years old. They
are expensive to feed, literally eating
their heads off. It is declared that an
elephant eats a quarter Of his weight
in feed every day. Certain it is that
the average amount required to keep
one Of the gigantic workers in good
condition is 800 pounds a day. While
perfectly tractable and reliable when
properly tanned and trained, an ele-
plant is likely to become frightened
and stampede without warning. In spite
of his massive body and immense
strength, he is timid in the extreme and
becomes frenzied at the sight Of a rat,
a dog or an automobile. Every ele-
plant has a small hole in the side Of
it's head, from which, periodically, a
white fluid is discharged. Unless the
animal is chained during the entire
period Of this discharge, he is liable to
turn rogue and kill everybody within
reach. At other times he is easy to
manage. The time is not far distant
when the elephant will disappear from
the lumber yards of Rangoon to give
place to modern machinery, which is
much cheaper n more reliable than
animal labor. Even now they are van
ishing, but a few old ones may still be
seen doing their work in the mills and
yards.

cellar of his brothers house. The coil
by which Menhennick held the lamp
became damp n when his feet struck

deep in the cellar, a circuit was formed
which sent h ~deathdealing current

possessed of his senses Menhennick
was powerless to move a muscle. Nei-

hour he stood thus, unable to release
his hold of the lamp, his body throb-
bling under the effect Of the current.
