BIRTH CHINESE REPUB-
Lie.

At the close of 1911 the Chinese situa-
ton had assumed the lines of a contest
between those who were for the reten-
ton Of the monarchy under a modern
lied constitution and those who were for
republic. While south China favored a
republic, the northern provinces were in
clined to cling to the old form. All over
the country however, there was a general
determination to get rid of the hated
Manchus. One party aimed to substitute
a new emperor of pure Chinese stock
for the baby Pu VI, and another to Or
ganize a real republic under the presi-
dency of Yuan Shih-kai or DR.. Sun Vat
sen.
At conference held by the reform
leaders of fourteen provinces many diff
ferences were reconciled and a republic
can constitution, based on the organic
law of the United States, was drawn
up. According to it's terms, a provisional
president was to be elected by a two
thirds majority, each province having a
vote This was followed by the unani-
nous election of Dr. Sun Yat-sen as
president of the provisional government

the provisional assembly representing the
revolted Chinese provinces. The i'm

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION,

Although it was conducted without the
appeal to arms which is so characteristic
of tin-American political revolutions,
the presidential election in this country
was scarcely less sensational in many OF
its features. Never before have the con-
tests within the parties-those on behalf
Of particular candidates and particular
points of political creed-been so long
continued and SO exciting. Ordinarily.
the four months between convention
time and election day are sufficiently en-
crossing, but the recent presidential cam
paign was different-five or six months
previous to the nominations were devoted
to tremendous activity within the ranks
of the two leading parties. This was
due to the adoption in number of
states of direct system of ascertaining
popular preference for candidates, which
replaced the old way by which party
caucuses and conventions were managed
by state and local leaders.
By this means 1t was found that the rank
and file in some of the states which had
adopted the direct primary Uas opposed
to the administration and strongly in ia
vor of the progressive movement and its
leaders. In those states in which no
such method had been introduced the
party machine was still able to control
the delegations.
Tat and Roosevelt Fight.
Thus it was that conflict most UNI
familiar to the American voter rose be-
tween the two most prominent republican
aspirants-President Taft and ex-Presi-

primaries seemed to indicate q decided
preference for the latter. the former be-
came the nominee of the convention, a
verdict which was not accepted by Col.

launching, had boosted would render her
absolutely unsinkable'' that it was not

that the wireless call for help was sent

panic of which no surviving witness elects
to speak.

SOUNDS MADE BY ELEPHANTS

Elephants are said to make use of a great variety of sounds in communi- eating with each other and in express ing their wants and feelings. Some gre uttered by the trunk, some by the throat. The coniuncures in which either means Of expression is en- Dloyed cannot be str "tly classified as fear, pleasure, want and other emo lions are sometimes indicated by the trunk, sometimes by the throat. An elephant rushing upon an assailant ttumpets shrilly with fury Fear is similarly expressed in shrih, brassy trumpet. or by a roar from the lungs; pleasuFe by a continued low squeak ing through the trunk or an almos' inaudible purring sound from the throat. Want-as a calf calling It's mother-is chiefly expressed by the throat A peculiar sound is made use of by elephants 10 express dislike or apprehension, and at the same time to intimidate. as when the cause Of some alarm has not been clearly as certsined and the animals wish to deter an intruder.

The sound made resembles that of large sheet of tin rapidly doubled.
