THE ELEPHANTS TRUNK.

II May Justly Be Called One of the
Miracles of Nature.
The trunk of the elephant may justly
be considered as one of the miracles of
nature, being at once the organ of res
piratiOn. as well as the instrument by
which the animal supplies itself with
food. Nearly eight feet in length. en-
dowed with exquisite sensibility and
stout in proportion to the massive size
of the animal. this organ will uproot
trees or gather grass-raise a piece of
artillery or take up nut, kill man

into and driven down the capacious
throat or showered over the body. Its
length supplies the place of a long
neck, which would have been incom-
patible with the support of the large
head and weighty tusks. A glance at
the head of an elephant will show the
thickness and strength Of the trunk at
its insertion; and the massy arched
bones of the face and thick, muscular
neck are admirably adapted for sup
porting and working this powerful and
wonderful instrument.

and had his retinue buried standing

For many days they died not, but
wept and cried aloud. AT last they
died. Dogs and crows assembled and
ate off their heads. The emperors
compassion was aroused and he de
sired to change the manner of burial
When the empress died. soon after. the
mikado inquired of his officers if some
thing in the way of a change could
not be suggested, and one proposed to
make clay figures of men and bury
them as substitutes
That this did not entirely do away
with the former custom is proved by

French Submarine Vendemaire
Sinks for the Last Time.
She Is Cut in Two by Warship
st. Louis.

Cherbourg, June S.-The French
submarine Vendemaire was sunk to-
day in collision with the battleship St.
Louis The submarine was cut in two.
1t was feared the whole crew of %
was drowned.
The accident occurred during the
practice maneuvers of the French
fleet between Aurigny island and Cape
Hague in the Race of Alderney where
violent tidal currents prevail. The
batt1eShip was Steaming along quietly
when the Vendemaire appeared right
under the bows of the warship. There
was no time to avoid a collision and
the next moment the stem of the St.
Louis struck the su bmarine with ter
rifle force, driving the latter below
the surface. The engines of the war
ship had been quickly reversed, but
when she was brought to a stop the
submarine had disappeared and only
a threshing of the waters showed
where the under-the-surface fighter
had gone down.
The Vendemaire was commanded
by Lieut.. PriOul, a young ensign, with
a crew of 25 men. She was launched
on July Z, 1910, and was the ninth
vessel of the Pluviose type added to
the French navy.
She was 1877 feet in length with a
beam of 6 feet.
Sixth in a Series.
Admiral Kiesel, maritime project of
Cherbourg; hurried to the scene on the
destroyer Catapulte, accompanied by
despatch boats and tugs, and barges,
provided with complete salvage appa-
tus. Word was also sent to the gov
ernment at Paris and a message later
received here stated that the minister
of marine, NJ. Delcasse, was departing
for Cherbourg.
This latest loss to tie French navy
has caused great distress. not only
throughout the service, but among the
public generally which has been made
so frequently to mourn naval disasters
No other navy has been SO unfortunate
in the matter of submarines. The
Vendemaire, is the sixth craft of this
type to be lost by the French. The
Pluviose was run down by a channel
steamer and lost her crew of 27 men
on May 26, 1910.
There was a glimmer of hope that
scme of the Vendemaire crew might
survive. but owing to the depth of the
water in which she sank twenty-five
fathoms, the general feeling is pessi-
mistic.
When the wrecking vessels reached
the scene, preparations were made for
marine and attach chains to the rings
in her hull to raise her to the surface
The maneuvers were those of the
third squadron. The subma rines of the
CEerbourg station had received orders
to attack the warships and it was dur
ing one of these attacks that the Ven
demaire made the fatal error of getting
directly in the path of the Saint Louis
