recover the penalty in addition to the
actual damage caused by the loss OF

PENDANT that the act was unconstitu-
tional on the ground stated, and took
the question of actual damage in
each case under advisement.

STRANGE AFRICAN TRIBE

An African tribe with some most
extraordinary customs has Just been
discovered by DR.. c. G.. Seligmann of
the Welcome Tropical Research
laboratories, one of the branches of
the Gordon Memorial college at
Khartoum. This tribe is the Shilluk,
which lives in narrow strip of land
along the banks of the Nile on the
northern edge Of the Bahr-El-
province. There are about 10000 OF
them. They live in small villages of
huts surrounded by fences of dura
stalks.
The most striking feature is the
veneration paid to the king and the
marked line of demarcation between
the aristocracy and the commoners.
The former is constituted entirely Of
the royal family-children, grandchil-
dren and great-grandchildren Of the
king. Royal descent, however, is not
recognized beyond the fourth genera

FIRST BANKNOTES IN CHINA

1t is held that the oldest banknotes
are the flying money" or convenient
money" OF China. Originally these
notes were issued by sthe Chinese
treasury, but experience dictated
change to the system of banks under
governmental control. The early
Chinese banknotes were, in most es-
sentials, similar to the modern bank
note, bearing the name of the bank,
the date Of issue, the number Of the
note, the signature of the official is
suing it. indications Of its value in
figures, words and pictorial represen-
tations of coins or heaps OF coins
in amount to the full value of the
note. together with a notice of the
penalties for counterfeiting. There
was also a laconic exhortation to in
dustry and thrift in these terms:
Produce all you can; spend with
economy" The notes we're in blue
ink on paper made from the fiber OF
the mulberry tree.

DENTISTRY ON AN ELEPHANT

It became necessary recently TO call
a dentist TO one OF the elephants In
the Geological gardens at Rio dc ia
neiro. The dentist saw at once what
the trouble was-a hollow tooth-but
confessed his inability to Ill It or tc
pull It out without assistance. The ele'
phant was not in a happy frame OF
mind. for It had a really elephantine
toothache But the dentist and the
keepers devised a method. They tied
a strong rope to the tooth, fastening
II carefully and securely with platinum
wire, and then Is men took hold and
pulled. The elephant seemed to know
that something for its good was being
done for it kept quiet and showed nc
sign Of anger-that is, until the IL
men gave the fourth pull, which
brought the huge tooth out. Then the
elephant trumpeted with pain and an
ger and the 10 men deemed It wise to
run. But after a few minutes Of wrath
the beast, now relieved Of its pain, be
came calm.
