planse which greeted the appearance,
of his former secretary of state, Elihl
Root.

Has New water supply scheme.

Stewart M. Neff, the engineer who
built the waterworks for Rockaway
borough dozen years ago, and which
the borough will probably be compelled
to lose on account of the claim of
Thomas Ell. Hoagland, has come for
ward with a scheme to provide sup
ply that will give the place all the
water it will need and still give Mr..
Hoagland all he wants for his private
lake. Neff says that larger reservoir
could be formed below the one from
which the borough now gets it's sup
ply, where enough water to last sea
son could be kept. Mr.. Hoagland
plans to build an expensive mansion
at White Meadow and does not care
to have the lake fiuctuate.

Elephant Understands Mind Is Supe-
rior to Matter.
What animal has the highest de-
gree of intelligence" was the ques-
ton recently put to DR.. William T.
IIornaday, the director Of the New
York geological park, says Our Dumb
Animals. without hesitation he re-
piled:
THE elephant, first Of all. and then
the orang -outang and his brother ape,
the chimpanzee. An adult elephant
soon perceives that 1t is folly to OBJ
struct the march of human events. In
six months wild elephant becomes
domestic animal. He will haul wood
and do other work with all the steadi-
ness of an OK or horse. He under
stands right off that mind Is superior
to matter; that his captor is stronger
than himself, and that peace, security,
the good things Of earth and longevity
are the certain rewards Of the fellow
who obeys the law and settles down
into habits of industry. The natives
discovered long ago that 1t Is cheaper
to catch elephants than to breed them.
Gunda was taught in two days to ring
bell and to drop pennies in bank
nailed to the wall l should be afraid
to say how many different things an
elephant can learn to do one after an
other, either at command or out Of
his memory with no word from his
keeper-thirty at least, am sure"
