CONGO BREAKS HIS rusKs


In some unknown manner Congo,
the pigmy elephant in the New York
Geological park, lost eight inches of
his tusks recently. The pieces were
found in his enclosure by one of the
keepers when he went to feed Congo,
and it was seen that the tusks had
been cracked for some distance. The
authorities are at loss to know
how the accident, but think Congo
got his tusks in between the bars of
his cage and gave a sudden wrench
and snapped them off. at was a
most unfortunate accident" said the
curator, because, although only six
and half feet high, Congo had tusks
nearly sixteen inches long. He is
the only pigmy elephant in captivity,
and many persons would not believe
he was a pigmy pachyderm until he
had grown such big tusks. We have
wound tape around the ends of the
tusks until brass knobs can be placed
on them to prevent further splitting.
It must have taken a great strength
to snap the ivory tusks.

GAVE BATTLE TO POLICE.

The Vienna (Austria) police were
held at bay for over two hours the
other day, by robbers in a drinking
saloon in densely populated quar-
ter of the city. The presence of the
thieves, who we're robbing the till,
was noticed at two o'clock in the
morning by the police, who sur
rounded the house and called on the
thieves to come out. They replied
with revolver shots, and the police
returned their fire, shooting into the
shop, which was in darkness. The
inhabitants Of the quarter watched
the battle, which lasted until five
o'clock, when the breaking Of day
light enabled the police to rush the
saloon. The populace assisted the
notice, attacking. the thieves with
sticks. One member of the band,
terrified by the crowd, hid behind
a barrel and shot himself dead.

cow IN DEPARTMENT STORE
6ossy Ascends Two Flights Of Stairs
and Creates Panic Among
the Women.

A sensation was created few
days ago in Norwich, N. D., when a
fine Holstein COW being driven
through the village bolted the herd
at the corner of Main and Broad
streets and entered a large depart
ment store. Disdaining to stop on
the first floor, the animal assembled
the stairs, poked her head into the
law Office of the state tax commits
sioner, beloved plaintively, and pro-
ceeded on up the next flight of
stairs and into the cloak department
of the stire. The women clerks were
in Mysteries, and the proprietors of
the store were at their wits end. Eff
forts were made to get the COW into
the elevator and escort her to the
ground floor, but she wanted to 90
still higher, and made for the stairs
leading to the floor above. The own
er'of the cow arrived OPPORTUNITY,
and with rope about the animals
neck and an assistant bringing up
the rear she was safely escorted to
the street.

PERPETUAL MOTION.

AS the term is generally under
stood, perpetual motion is the mo-
ton of an engine which, without
any support or power from without,
can not only maintain its own mo-
ton forever, but can also be applied
to drive machinery, and therefore do
external work. In other words, it
means device for creating power
or energy without corresponding ex-
penditure. This is absolutely i'm
possible, no matter what physical
forces be employed. The quantity Of
force in existence being fixed, no new
stock can be created, and therefore
a self-moving machine is out of the
question. The modern physical ak
ION, the conservation of energy,
founded on experimental bases as
certain as those which convince us
of the truth of the laws of motion,
may be expressed in the negative
thus: Perpetual motion is impos-
sible.

Ingenious Farmer Finds That lie Tenn
persture Makes II Very
Fine Incubator.

Although not many people own an
incubator, it is rare for a person liv-
ing in the country not to have facili-
ties for the swarming of bees and
the making of honey. A successful
agriculturist has shown by recent ex-
periments that beehive may serve
the purpose of an incubator. He
alighted upon this discovery by OBJ
serving that the proper temperature
of incubators is exactly equal to that
which the queen bee maintains in
the interior of the hive. Why not
give the bees a chance to do two
things at once-hatch eggs and also
pursue their ordinary vocationp In
order to do this he arranged spe-
cies Of quadrangular cage, or box,
over the bottom of which he deposit
ed cloth. This he put over the hive
in the manner of roof arranged
just over the chamber where the bees
were busiest. Then he put two doz-
en- eggs over the cloth, protecting
them from contact with the air by
flannel wrappings, and let matters
take their course. After the normal
incubator time for Matching had
elapsed he found that he had
Matched eighteen chickens from
twenty-four eggs. The experiment
was repeated with equal success, and
then he arranged each beehive with
cage. He finds that, on the aver
age, he succeeds better with a hun
dred eggs Matched in this manner
with the connivance of dozen hens.

BA6Y'S WEIGHT.

Children vary greatly in weight at
birth. The average weight is seven
pounds, but often newly born baby
proves to be nine or even ten pounds.
During the first week little or no
increase in weight occurs. There is
loss during the first three days and
a gain for the next few days, so that
at the end of the week the child
weighs about the same as it did at
birth.
Indigestion will have a serious eff
feet on baby's development, and if
the weight decreases after the first
week a doctor should be called.

NATURAL QUERY.

The late Gen. F. d. Grant, when
discussing military neatness, used
often to tell a story about his father.
"My father was talking to General
Sherman in his tent one day." he
would begin, when a third general
entered, a brigadier notorious fol, his
slovenliness. After the brigadier
left, my father blew forth a cloud
of smoke and said:
"'Shermsn, l wonder whom that
man gets to wear his shirts the first
week.
