Elaborate Preparations Made His Villa for Reception of Big
Animal the Christmas Gift of Mr. R. Collier, but 1t Proves
to Be Constructed Of Papier Mache.

DANBURY, Conn, Jan. members
of Redding's literary colony who are
neighbors of Mark Twain are laughing
with the humorist over a huge prac-
teal joke that was played on him at
Christmas time by Robert J. Collier, a
New York publisher, the story of which
has just got beyond the walls of the
Clemens villa.
A few days before Christmas Mr..
Collier, who is one of DR.. Clemens ,
closest friends, confded to members of
the humorist's household the informa-
ton that upon recent visit to Red
ding he had come to the conclusion that
the only thing lacking to make the
appointments of the grounds about In.
nocence at Home complete was an
elephant, and that he had arranged TO
send Mr.. Clemens an elephant for a
Christmas gift.
He had intended, he wrote, to have
the arrival of the huge beast COM
plete surprise to every one, but the
fact that the elephant had only just
come from India and would require

Giles gentle as a general thing. but
you can never tell what an elephant is
going to do or when it S going to do
it, and it's best to be prepared said
the trainer.
1t was then made known that the
water pipes must be extended to the
garage in order that the beast might
have plenty of water at all times, and
that accommodations would have to be
prepared for two attendants who would
come with the gift. The circus man
said. however. that those preparations
might be deferred until after the ar,
rival of the elephant.
Christmas morning the family was
informed that the elephant had been
brought in during the night in order
to avoid too much curiosity on the past
of the neighbors.

that would preclude the possibility Of
a complete surprise.
There was CONSERVATION at the news
of the gift. Mr.. Collier was so niue
in earnest in his belief that an elephant
was the one thing needed to complete
the domestic happiness of the home
that he could not be told that his gift
would be unwelcome. The garage was
decided to be the only place on the
grounds that would do for an elephant
house, and the automobile was moved
out and stored elsewhere

AN ANAESTHETIC SHE'LL
Baltimore Clergyman Suggested War
Weapon in 1908.

After being kept a profound secret
for nearly five years, it has just leaked
out that the honor of inventing the
anaesthetic shell, which a few months
ago caused such a stir in army circles,
belongs to Baltimorean. 1t now ap-
pears that in 1903 the idea of invent
ing shell which would mitigate the
horrors of war by throwing an anaes-
thetlc into the enemy's ships first oc-
Cured to Rev. W. A. Crawford-Fros
rector of the Episcopal Chapel of the
Redemption.
In 1903 Mr.. Crawford Frost wrote a
letter to President Roosevelt calling his
attention to his invention. The Presi-
dent turned the letter over to the War
Department, which in turn sent a reply
TO Mr.. Crawford The reply
stated that the War Department had
no funds to perfect such an invention
but that if he would complete such a
shell they would look into the matter
This letter to the President antedates
the patent recently granted to another
inventor by at least four years.
When interviewed he said that it was
true that he had written to the Presi
dent in 1903 and received an answer
from the War Department. Asked how
he conceived the idea of an anaesthetit
shell, he replied:
:" was reading story of a battle
between the japanese and Chinese fleets

The more I thought over the scheme
the more feasible it seemed. If al

shell exploded it would set fire to the

Kill the Caterpillars.

Now is the time for the good citizen
TO get busy killing caterpillars. The fuzzy
creatures are all over town, chiefly in
cocoons, preparing to produce progeny on
a syndicate basis. 1t will not be long
before the trees are stripped of their
leaves il these pests are not exterminat-
ed. Every caterpillar killed now means
a large reduction Of the possible future
population.
This is no time for squeamishness. No
sense of chronological altruism should
intervene to prevent caterpillar slaughter.
The trees are our friends. not the cater
pillars. No tree is worth while unless
1t has all its leaves. and SO far as science
knows the caterpillar performs a wholly
destructive part in the economy of af-
fairs. except to provide food for birds.

The Backyard Fence.

From the Baltimore Sun.
A number of puhlic-spirited ladies and
gentlemen of Baltimore have entered
upon a righteous warfare against the
backyard fence. They point out the
fact that. according to their estimates,
something like s25OO.0OO is invested in
these hideous affairs. and it possibly
requires an annual outlay of 100000 to
keep them in repair. Let us suppose that
100000 should be spent each year in
beautifying the city instead OF making
it ugly, would not that be a good reform
Let US suppose that citizens of Roland
Park should organize for the purpose of
cutting down the hedges which adorn
that beautiful suburb and separate the
back yards and replacing them with the
kind of fences with which the back yards
in the city are supplied. would not the
friends of these citizens take steps to
have writ de lunatico inquirendo issued
Would any one In his right mind propose
such thing? Why is II not possible to
make the back yards in town more at
tractive by hedg- J. such as add to the
beauty of Roland Park and other subur-
ban places?

Ambulance Speed.

An entirely dispassionate observer of
street life in Washington might reason
ably be led to wonder upon what thera-
peutic principle the patients of the Emer-
gency Hospital are given the vibration
treatment on their way to that fnstitu-
ton There must be some sound scien-
tinc reason for hustling them through
the streets at twentymile pace other
than the advisHbility of getting them
into bed as soon as possible. The am
bulance is equipped with first-aid reme-
dies and accompanied by professional
attendant SO that the sufferer can be

ner to prevent immediate dissolution if it
is possible to prolong his life. 1t would
seem to the casual bystander observing
the furious progress of the ambulance.
especially through d street. between 18th
and 18th streets. where in the wisdom Of
Congress cobblestones remain as a pave
ment that the hospital authorities must
regard the motion impaired to the pa
TENTS body as having a distinct curative
value.
Far be it from any unscientific person
TO suggest that perhaps the phrase. died
on his way to the hospital" which oc-
casionally appears in the news reports,
has any relation TO the speed of the am
bulance. Maybe there would be more
deaths en- route if the wagon were driven
slower. deaths from exhaustion and i'm
patience, and perhaps from apprehension.
Possibly the high speed of the ambulance
is a device to distract the patients mind
from his situation and his sufferings.
At any rate, whatever may be the ef-
fec- on the patient, one would ina gine
from the furious efforts of the driver
that the horse is not very greatly enjoy
ing the performance. especially during
the sizzling days of, July and August
temperature. The thought occurs in this
connection that IL speed is an absolute
necessity the hospital should secure from
its financial foundation sufficient funds
to purchase an automobile, which would
be- at all events, more humane as re-
CARDS the horse. even though it might
make work for the hospital by moving
down pedestrians.
