Elephants Asleep.

A question often raised IN regard to
the African elephant is whether this
animal ever rests or not At first blush
1t would appear that there could only
be one answer to the question. So
huge an animal must eXpend terrific
amount of energy and therefore, as one
might reasonably infer, must need
more time than smaller animals for
rest and -reinvgoration. Nevertheless
many travellers and some naturalists
have asserted that the African elephant
In its native state never sleeps or at
least never lies down. A correspond
ent who has sent photographs from
Malek. on the White Nile. says in the
communication that accompanies them
that the picture represents a herd of
female elephants photographed in the
bush near Malek, in the Mogalla prov.
ince of the Anglo-E Egyptian Sudan 1t
has been maintained that the African
elephant never lies down to rest. Sew
eral may be seen thus sleeping"-

Poisons In the Stomach.

A most curious fact is that all food
contains the elements of poison. and
in our body poisons are manufactured
from these. For instance. meat, fish,
cheese and milk are composed of by.
drogen, carbon, nitrogen and oxygen.
Take away the last and you have prus-
sic acid. We do not manufacture
prussic acid, it is true. But in every
stomach in the world fermentation
goes on just as in brewery, and the
poisonous carbonic acid is made in
large quantities. If you breathed a
few days output of carbonic acid gas
you would inevitably die. Sulphuret.
ed hydrogen is one Of the most deadly
gases known, yet in every stomach it
is made at one time or another In the
stomach all food is converted into
what we call "peptone," and if a very
small quantity of this found its way
into the blood it would kill as surely
as prussic acid.-Pearson's Weekly.

A Simple Get-rich quick Scheme.


Take 100000 cats and get rich
quick. This is the advice of the Liberte
of Paris to its readers. The, prescrip-
ton is quite simple. A million cats
will supply you with 100000 kittens
year. The skins are worth a little
over % cents each, so there you have
a daily gross revenue of about $4,000
To skin the cats you will have to EN-
ploy 100 men, who will charge you 50
per fifty cats. Your net revenue will
thus be reduced to about $4,000 a day
1t should cost you nothing to feed your
cats. Start rattery. Rats breed four
times as fast as cats, so the cats can
have daily diet of four rats apiece.
which is ample. To feed the rats is
perfectly simple. Give them the skin
ned cats. One cat will be ample for
four rats. The scheme works out sim
ply and automatically. The cats eat
the rats, the rats eat the cats, and you
have the skins.

Story of a "Violin."

On one occasion all who were pres
ent in the court of justice at Berlin
had the great pleasure of listening to
free performance by Professor Joa
chin, the famous violinist. 1t appear
ed from the evidence that a dealer in
musical Instruments was charged with
cheating a customer by representing
that violin which he offered for sale
at $1.25 was an instrument that could
be played. The great professor was
called in as an expert witness, and,
taking up the impugned instrument,
he proceeded to play upon it. Under
his magic fingers it really sounded like
a violin. but in few moments. much
to the regret of his listeners. the macs
tro laid the instrument down with an
evident air of contempt But he had
secured the accused's acquittal.

A BIT OF NAVAL HISTORY.
Origin of the Corps of Professors Of
Mathematics.


Before the Naval academy was es
tablished midshipmen received theiI
education entirely on board ship Theil
technical education was obtained III
the school Of experience, helped out
occasionally by the voluntary efforts
1 Of the older line officers. Their gen
eral education was at first neglected,
but later instructors were appointed
for service on ships that carried mid
shipmen. These were appointed by
the secretary Of the navy for stated
periods, much as civilian instructors
at the Naval academy are appointed
at the present time In 1912 a general
order was issued providing that they
should live and mess with lieutenants
They were commissioned in 1913, bat
specific rank was not given them uutil
the general reorganization of all staff
corps during the civil war.
The late Professor II. II. Lockwood.
q. S. ~. in some very interesting rem
iniscenceS read before the Naval
Academy Graduates association in
1898 relates how the corps of profess
sors of mathematics came to be form
ed In the early days of the Naval
academy he was one of its instructors
He had had service in the army and
in the development of the course of in
struction he determined, after consul
tation with the superintendent, to give
the midshipmen a little infantry drill.
This did not suit the proud spirits of
the young gentlemen of that day, and
to show their disapproval of this and
other efforts of the professor they hung
him in eftigy. An investigation and
court martial followed on the charge
of insulting a superior officer.
The defense put up the plea that the
instructor was not a superior otfi er.
Such a condition is hard to understand
at this time, when the status of Off
GERS, instructors and midshipmen at
the Naval academy is well defined, but
at that time midshipmen were officers.
while instructors had no official stand
ing The plea was technically correct, |
and to punish the guilty midshipmen it
was found necessary to substitute
charges in which the anomalous posi- |
ton of the professor in the naval serv- |
ice could not be made to enter. Upon |
these the guilty midshipmen were con-
1emned and punished
This incident led to an amendment |
in the naval appropriation bill of 1913

How Parchment Got It's Name.

The Greeks of Pergamus are said to
have first prepared parchment from
the skins of the goat or sheep. They
were curried, deprived of all fat,
thinned uniformly by the knife, dyed
or whitened and finally rubbed down
with pumice stone to a smooth and
even surface. Called pergamenum from
the city Of its origin, the new mate
rial became parchemin in archaic
French and parchment in the English
tongue.-National Magazine.

HARRISON MAN DYING
FROM ATTACK BY THUGS
Peter Sueanis Apparently Vic
tim of Revenge.

Attacked by two men at the east
ern end of the Lackawanna tunnel in
Jersey City, Peter Sueanis, of 1o2
Second street, Harrison. is dying in
the Jersey City Hospital. He is in a
semi-conscious condition and is
able to tell but little of his assail-
ants.
Patrolman Stanton, of the Jersey
City police. said today that Sueanis
ran up to him at Palisade avenue and
Ferry street and gave an incoherent
description of the assault. The pa
trolman hurried the victim to the
hospital. but efforts to obtain an ac-
curate description of the mans as
sailants have been fruitless.
Two detectives are working on the
case and expect to make arrests to-
day. The assault, the police think,
was committed in a spirit of revenge.
Sueanis had a pocketbook contain
ing $12 and some change, but this
was not taken
