Elephants Strange Death.-An Agra
correspondent sends to the London
Standard a remarkable story con-
cerning what is declared to be the
deliberate suicide Of an elephant.
The great annual mela or fair at
Batesar, in the northwest provinces,
Is held on the bands Of the Jumna,
which is there crossed by bridge Of
boats. At the side Of the river oppo-
site the fair there Is a slope down
which the elephants bringing visitors
to the bridge slide into the river and
swim across A young elephant, maxi
ing the trip for the first time, trum-.
peted angrily when his trappings
were stripped from him preparatory
to his swim, but seeing other ele-
plants crossing the stream ahead OF
him, he plunged In and followed.
When he reached the opposite bank,
however, he swerved around and
swan back again. The mahout sought
to force him around again, but with
out result, and when within a yard or
two Of the bank, the elephant, after
trumpeting again, plunged down into
river. Just in the nick Of time the
mahout was rescued by means Of
long bamboo, but the elephant was
drowned. to all appearance by his own
deliberate act.

self with Ban Murray, Dune Cooper
and Spared Hill and aid them In their
battle for the holy cause OF local self
government"
BY local self-government, Carmack
meant the fight against prohibition.
The liquor interests led by the govern
or, declared in favor of local option
and Of letting each community settle
the saloon question for itself.
Col. Cooper, upon reading this edi-
torial, sent the famous message to
Carmack: 'Tf my name appears in the
Tennessean again, one Of US must die"
The warning was delivered to Senator
Carmack by ex-State Treasurer Craig.
Carnack said that Col Cooper's threat
had made a cessation Of the editorials
impossible-that II the Tennessean
never again used Cooper's name, the
public would believe that the paper
had been bluffed and 1t would lose
caste. So on Monday, November 8, the
day Of the killing, there appeared In
the Tennessean this editorial:
1.-THE Diplomat Of the Sweibund."
ITO Major Duncan Brown Cooper,
who wrought the great coalition; who
achieved the harmonious confluence Of
incompatible elements! who welded
the pewter handle to the wooden spoon;
who grated the dead bough to the liv-

bourgeon and bend with golden fruit;
who made playmates Of the lamb and
the leopard and boon companions Of
the spider and the fly; who made soda
and vinegar to dwell placidly In the
same bottle, and who taught oil and
water how they might agree-to. Ma
jor Duncan Brown Cooper. the great
diplomat Of the political Sweibund be
all honor and glory forever"
What happened next is history. The
states witnesses say that Carmack
was shot down from behind, while he
was in the act of raising his hat to a
lady-Mrs. Eastman. The Coopers
swear that they walked across the
street to reason with Carmack and that
he opened fire at once, wounding Ro-
bin, who, thereupon and In self-defense
fired the shots which killed the editor.

A POISON EPISODE.
Whom a Famous Chemist Was Siienesd
In Court BY q Judge.

When a Famous Chemist Was Siieneed
In Court BY q Judge.
There was a famous poisoning case
in England many years ago in which
the strong point Of the defense was to
show that the accused, who was an
expert chemist, would not have used q
poison which could be so easily found
after it had been taken into the hu-
man system. Sir Robert Christeson,
professor in Edinburgh university, a
famous expert on .toxicology, whose
works are still standard on that sub
ject, was put on the stand to prove
this point. When he declared that q
chemist would certainly use some pol
son which would leave no trace, the
prosecuting attorney asked him If he
meant to say that there We're such
poisons. iiss -.
Sir Robert replied in the affirmative.
The prosecutor asked, name them!"
mol" shouted the judge. II forbid
you to answer that question:"
In spite of the protests Of the prose-
cutor the Judge would not allow the
expert publicly to give the name Of a
poison which would leave no trace,
and the question remained unan-
swered.
Now comes the curious part Of the
story. During the next two years, Sir
Robert received more than 1000 let
ters from all parts Of the world ask
ing, begging, offering to buy, the name
of the untraceable poison alluded to in
his testimony. Many Of these he kept
as curiosities, showing them to his
friends as evidence of the depravity OF
human nature Some Of the excuses
for wanting the name Of the poison
were very ingenious. One man was
writing a novel based on poison plot
and wanted to make use OF the un-
traceable poison idea. He did not want
to give the name Of the poison In the
book, but just wanted to have 1t by
him In case any scientific critic should
deny the possibility Of such poisons,
when he could send him the name In
private letter and quote the "distin-
guished authority" from whom 1t came,
etc. Several persons professed to be
studying chemistry and asked for the
information on the ground Of profess
sional courtesy. To all such, Sir Rob-
ert would send the advice to pursue
their studies and they would soon know
as much about 1t as he did. Many
offered large sums Of money for the
secret, usually pretending they had bet
still larger amounts that they could
find 1t out in a given time and were
willing to share their profits literally
with Sir Robert.
The thing which most impressed Sir
Robert was the number Of persons all
over the world who seemed desirous Of
possessing the secret Of an agent that
would kill, but leave no trace, and the
amazing falsehoods to which they
would subscribe their names in order
to obtain the information. 1t Is said
that whatever poison Sir Robert had
in mind at the trial he never mention
ed 1t, not even to his classes, so strong
ly was he impressed with the danger
of letting such thing become matter
Of public knowledge.
