CUTTING DOWN THE CHARGES
the Rapacity of Express Com
panies in Florida

Tallahassee. Fla, May 4.-The Flor
ida railroad commission today pro-
mulgated an order reducing the rates
of express on all classes Of goods be-
tween various points covered by the
express companies Of the state.
The commission has been at work
for fully a year preparing a schedule
and the report is quite a voluminous
one.
The change is the schedule is not
uniform all along the line. 1t is grad
ed according to the class Of express
handled. The rate on vegetables and
fruit has been lowered considerably
and will mean a considerable savin g
to the growers throughout the state.
1t is possible that the express COM
pany will seek to overthrow the ruling
of the commission, but this matter will
not be taken up, If at all, until after
the commission has published the
schedules dealing with the changes.

Twice In the Same Place.

Two good, old fashioned, easy GO
ing Mormon brothers were engaged
in the hauling of logs on sledges
from out of the Wasatch range of
the Rockies. The snow was deep
and the canyon very narrow and al
most baked. The trail where the
sleighs ran was very close to high
slanting angles leading to the bot
tom Of the canyon, and at some
points it was very hard for the
sleighs to pass along without tip
ping over and hurting the driver
and contents to the bottom of the
canyon. At a point of this kind the
foremost brother slowed down his
horses, turned on his seat and yelled
to his brother behind: ooh, hi!
Right here as 1 was coming down
yesterday the sled turned and we
went right down the bank, logs and
all, and, BY Jukes, here We 90

SUBSTITUTE PHONE FOR TELEGRAPH.

The experiment of operating by
telephone, essayed tentatively some
time since by the Pennsylvania on
certain of its smaller branches, has
proved so successful that the plan has
been adopted regularly and the sys-
TEN is being extended as rapidly as
the installation can be made. The
middle division is being so equipped
at present, the work which was be-
gun last fall being now so far adyanc-
ed that it is expected to have tele-
phones in full operation thereon be-
fore the end of the month, when
the telegraph will be discontinued.
The new system having proven so
satisfactory that the early passing of
the telegraph on all the Pennsylyan-
ia lines IS now forseen by those in
terested.

The eazss That Were Played In the
Eighteenth Century.

@SN@AAls
After the advent of the house of
Hanover the fayorite games at court
were @quadrille," an improvement
of "ombre," and Commerce" The
gains and losses of the kings and
queens were, as a rule, restricted to
100 guineas, but on Twelfth Night
it was customary for thousands TO
change hands. On one occasion
Lady Cowper, a lady in waiting, re-
fused for the sake of her children
to take part in the game, as none
sat down to the table with less than
s2OO.
About the year 174o rage for
"whisk," or whist, set in, but at first
it was considered too\ wise a game
for ladies to join in. Hume, the his
torian, never went to bed,without
his whist, and even the great john
son regretted that he had not
learned to play cards. In 1912
1Horry" Walpole finds it absolutely
necessary to learn "whisk," Having
waited in vain for its being left off. /"

Cards were so~very much in evi-
dence In his time that even invita-
tons were frequently issued and
notes written on the backs of play
ing cards, which on that account
were usually plain, without any de-
sign. The chevalier's famous order
to retreat at Culloden was written
on the back OF the nine of hearts.
a fresh attempt was made in 1899
to remedy the state of gambling in
England H. passing an act which
provided that "any person keeping
house or other place to game in
forfeits s2O0, half to the prosecutor
and half to the poor of the parish"
whereupon two ladies of title, Nor
dington and Casselis, who kept open
houses for gambling, claimed their
privilege OF peerage in order to in
timidate the peace officers from do
in their duty and suppressing the
public gaming houses kept by them.

Forests and Deserts.

Whole provinces of the Tibetan
borders of China have been convert
ed into uninhabitable, sandy desert,
which centuries ago were fertile and
well watered and supported rich
cities, apparently in consequence of
the destruction of forest. The
formation Of desert is due in the
first place to the destruction of for
est, the consequent formation of a
barren, sandy area and the subse-
quent spreading of the disease" or
desert ulcer" by the blowing of
the fatally exposed sand. Sand des-
erts are not, as used to be supposed,
sea bottoms from which the water
has retreated, but areas of destruc-
ton OF vegetation-often both in
central Asia and in north Africa
started by the deliberate destruction
Of forest by man, either by artificial
drainage starving the forest or by
the simple use of the ak or fire.

DRIVING AN ELEPHANT.
The Mahoues Hook and Spike and Els
Knee and Toe.


sThe dog is mans companion;
the elephant is his slave" writes
Sir Samuel ". Baker in ovid
Beasts and Their Ways" The doc
shares with his master the delight Of
hunting and defends him from an
enemy's attack, but an enemy might
kill an elephants mahout and the
beast would not interfere to save
him. He never volunteers his serv-
ices, although he can be trained to
do certain acts, for he has wonder
full capacity for learning. But he
viii not do them unless he is or
dered to by his mahout, to whose
guidance he submits because he
knows that disobedience will bring
punishment.
The mahout, sitting on the ele-
plants neck, governs the animal BY
an iron hook and spike, which re-
sembles a boat hook and weighs
from four to SIX pounds. The ma
bout drives the elephant forward by
digging the point of the spike into
its head and pulls him back BIZ in
serting the hook in the tender base
Of the ears. Without the hook the
elephant is like the donkey without
the stick. He obeys not from affec-
ton, but because he knows he will
be punished if he disobeys.
An elephant whose mahout rules
him responds to the. secret signs of
his driver. The gentle pressure of
the mahout's toe, the compression
Of his knee, the delicate touch of his
heel OF the slightest swaying of his
body to one side guides the mighty
beast as a ship is guided by an al
most imperceptible movement of
the rudder. But the mahout must
himself be cool and free from all
nervousness if he expects the ele-
/ plant to obey him.
Illustrating the fact that a poor
driver makes a disobedient elephant,
Sir Samuel says man may sit a
horse gracefully, but if he has not
the gift of good hand" there will
be little comfort for the animal and
no ease for the rider. A rider with
dad hand" makes the fact known
to the horse almost as soon as he
seats himself in the saddle. The re-
suit is that the horse becomes nerv-
Gus and does not perceive what his
master wishes him to do.
The elephant is not bitted and
therefore is not disturbed by "bad
hand" But if the mahout is nerv-
Gus or hesitates or vaciIlates he
Will be sure to have a "bad knee
or a "bad toe" His mood will In
fiuence his muscles, and the ele-
plant feels that the mahout does
not exactly know what he is about.
Instead of obeying instantly the
pressure of knee or toe, the animal
yacillates, swings his head, be-
comes unsteady and if engaged in
hunting or seeming a tiger turns
round and runs away-made cow
ard by his masters nervousness.
