Grace DarIing's Boat.

Walter c. Hamm, the American
consul at Newcastle on Tyne. sends
to the Transcript an interesting clip
ping from the Newcastle Chronicle:
1t will be of interest, not TO

Building, and an arrangement has
been entered into whereby the Royal

Elephants Palate.

Since the elephants digestive func-
lions are very rapid, it requires a
large amount of fodder daily-about
six hundred pounds in most cases. In
It's wild state the elephant feeds
heartily but wastefully. 1t is careful
in selecting the few forest trees that
it likes for their bark or foliage. but il
will tear down branches and leave
half of them untouched. 1t will strip
off the bark from other trees and
throw away large portion.
As it is a nocturnal animal, it Sc
lects its trees by the senses of touch
and smell. It's sense of smell is said
to be so delicate that a wild elephant
can wind an enemy at distance OF
a thousand yards, and the nerves of
its trunk are so sensitive that the
smallest substance can be discovered
and picked up by its tiny proboscis.
An elephants palate is very delicate
and the animal is whimsical in select
ing or rejecting morsels of food. A
writer tells of an incident humorously
illustrative of the whims of a tame
elephant belonging to the police of
Dhurbri.
This elephant was fed with rice and
plantains The stems of the plan
tains were split and cut into transverse
sections two feet in length. Three
quarters of pound of rice was placed
within each tube of plantain stem.
One day while the elephant was being
fed some one offered it small sweet
biscuit 1t was taken in the trunk and
almost Immediately thrown on the
ground.
The mahout thinking that the ele-
plant had behaved rudely, picked up
the biscuit and inserted il in a parcel
of rice within a plantain stem. This
was placed in the beasts mouth. and
at the very first crunch il showed its
disgust by refusing the whole mess.
The small biscuit had Disguised the
animal and for several minutes it
tried by its inserted trunk to rake ont
