A TUSK HUNTERS ESCAPE,


Thought Himself Dead.
Hunting elephants for their tusks in
wolves courage, patience and infinite
cunning Frequently the hunter be-
comes the hunted, and the tables may
be turned fatally. A writer in Nc
Clure's Magazine tells of an escape,
vouched for by IAN Indian dealer who
never lied about anything and who
claims to have seen this deliverance
exactly as he reported it."
Some natives were hunting elephants
in the neighborhood of Lake Rudolph,
and he was with them for the purpose
of trading cotton cloth for ivory. Ele-
plants like old bunch grass that has
become dry like hay, and a herd of
them, attracted by dry grazing" as it
Is called, came suddenly within an
eighth of a mile of the camp.
One native named Juma. from the
coast, an unskilled hunter, observing
that the wind was in such direction
that it blew news of the herd to him
rather than blowing his whereabouts
" Tie VI AAlt IAN Out Ill
the open with his rifle and aimed at
short range at powerful creature
which was watering struggling
shrub with water he had taken in hiS
trunk from the pond.
Once hit, the elephant was CORE
spondingly furious and rushed at
Juma after deliberate scrutiny OF
the immediate foreground to discover
his whereabouts. Having determined
where his assailnnt stood, he tore along,
crazy with rage, toward the shaking
savage.
Juma. with an orientars instinct Of
prostration before such an oyerwhelm-
ing force, merely threw himself fiat
upon the ground.
The elephant rushed completely over
him. but by accident left him safe,
although choked and blinded with the
disturbed and sandy soil The great
feet cleared him, and the tusks missed
him.
Almost twenty-four hours passed be-
fore Juma dared believe himself alive
and sound, and for the FIRST twelve
hours after the excitement he spoke of
himself only in the past tense, as OF
one dead.

LAW OF GRAVITY VIOLATED.
Conditions Under Which Water Ae-
tuaIly Flows Upward.

Conditions Under Which Water Ac-
tuaIly Flows Upward.
Water seeks its lever is an ex-
preston heard so frequently as to be
almost trite, and yet the law has its
exceptions. There are conditions I'M
der which water actually flows up
ward and rises above its source. If
glass tube be dipped into water the
column inside will be above the level
of the surrounding surface. Moreover,
If a tube of half the diameter be sub
stituted the column doubles its height
The water creeps along the inside Of
the tube, owing to the adhesion, and
forms cup shaped depression at the
top.
An explanation is not difficult. 1t
can be proved automatically that II
the diameter Of circle be diminished
one-half the circumference is also re-
duced to that extent, while the area is
one-fourth of Its former value. The
circumference of the column Of water
being reduced one-half. its contact
with the glass, and hence the adhesive
force. is also diminished to that extent,
while the cross section, and hence the
weight. is decreased to fourth of
what it was before. Therefore the Sec
ond column can be twice the height Of
the first without exceeding the lifting
power.
Remarkable as the underlying prin-
ciples Of this phenomenon undoubtedly
are, nature made use of them long be-
fore man made their discovery. Every
tree and flower adds its testimony.
The core of tree or plant, instead Of
being a single open channel, consists
of spongellke substance containing
many miniature tunnels, through
which the sap and moisture collected
by the roots flow upward in small riv-
ulets, rising higher and higher in
sheer defiance of the great law Of
gravity.-St. Louis Republic.

Professor Lombroso, the famous
Italian criminologist, was extremely
willful, and. although he asked advice
Of his family in everything, he always
acted contrary TO it. When advised
to put on dress clothes, for instance,
he donned Il lounge suit. His indiffer-
ence to money was proverbial. When
he went out he usually put banknotes
in the same pocket with his handker-
chief, and when lie drew it out the
notes were frequently lost. Having
on several occasions found himself
without money through this habit,
the professor used to put banknotes
in all his pockets, SO that If the con-
tents of one were lost he--and his pet
riminuls-wuuId have a reserve fund
to draw upon.

Washington. May 1.-THE Chinese
government by Imperial rescript has
abolished slavery throughout the en-
pire and has prohibited henceforth the
purchase and sale OF human beings
under any preteXt. The retainers OF
Manchu princes are not emancipated
however. but IL Is forbidden TO call
them slaves. They have long enjoyed
educational and other privileges. The
household slaves OF the Manchus are
also refused emancipation. bat their
status under the law is improved.
Under this rescript the immemorial
practice OF selling children in China
in times OF famine is abolished. al
though they may be bound for a speci-
fed term. but never beyond the age OF
twenty-five years.
COncubinage is still 20 be permitted.
but there Is 10 be no bargain and sale.
Such concubines are 20 be married
with proper legal formalities. and they
will enjoy the protection OF the law.
but in reality they will be no better
than perpetual slaves TO the principal
wife.
The rescript is said 10 be a com
promise measure. but IL will event
ually give freedom TO millions OF hu-
man beings.
