P0NDEROUS SEA ELEPHANTS.
They Have Two Foot Trunks and Flip
pers Tipped With Claws.

pers Tipped With Claws.
That which is believed to be the last
herd of sea elephants known to exist
Is to be found at Guadalupe island, of
the west coast of Mexico. In the herd
there are now only about thirty speci-
mems.
The sea elephant is an important link
In the chain of evolution and is the
largest of all fin footed animals. The
adult male is about twenty-five feet
In length and is about eight feet high
when propped up on his front filppers
In natural position. These great
bulls weigh from two to three tons
and have a trunk, or proboscis, which,
when relaxed, hangs down over the
mouth about two feet. In the end OF
his the nostrils are placed rather wide
apart, and when they breathe their
Thole mass trembles in tiny undula-
lions to the very end.
The tiippers are thick and tipped
with heavy claws. There is a tail
"bOuI OhG lOOL null IOuS, SeDd-
rated horizontally in two divisions
This tail acts as propeller, to resist
the huge creature when he comes in
through the breakers. He hoists his
back fippers and tail so as to catch
the full sweep of the waves, and then
allows himself to be washed up on the
/, beach.
Coarse, bristly hair grows sparsely
from the back along the body. and a
tough protecting crust of flesh reaches
like shield from the lower jaw down
over the chest and round to the back
of the neck. This biblike affair Is
natures provision for protection In
time of battle The male fights VI
ciously In the mating season, and the
chest protector prevents much loss Of
life.
Sea elephants live on various kinds
Of small fish and use the trunk to
seize them with Afterward the food
Is transferred to the mouth precisely as
; elephants manage 1t.

BATHING and Believing.

Primitive man boiled his water with
hot stones. That was not the only use
he made Of them, at any rate. If he
was a Scythian. The Scythian prac-
tice described by Herodotus has been
claimed by some as the first recorded
case of smoking. Having spoken OF
kind of hemp that grew in the coun-
Try, Herodotus proceeds: Now. the
Scythians. taking the seed OF this
hemp. go into their tents and then
throw the seed upon the stones heated

BRAMWELL BOOTH
VISITS AMERICA
Here TO Inspect Salvation Army,
Which He Heads.
STORY OF HIS CAREER.

Expected to Make Peace With His
Brother Who is Head Of Rival Or
ganization--Leader of Army Is De-
scribed as Man Of Modern Ideas.
Was Loved by His Father.
New York. General Bramwel Booth,
successor to his father, the founder Of
the Salvation Army. has come into this
country on his first visit as commander
in chief of more than 100000 Fighters
Canada to inspect the posts in that
country and then will return to New
York to open nation wide campaign
at Carnegie hall on Sunday afternoon,
Nov. 90.
According to statement issued from
the national headquarters. "he will
speak as the head of an organization
with which he has been identified since
his early school days; speak with the
authority of one fully cognizant of all
the important events in the history Of
the movement since he became his
fathers chief supporter and first aid"
There is lingering hope that the
present head OF the Salvationists, who
is described as man of modern ideas
in army government, may come to
some understanding with his brother,
Ballington Booth, head Of the Volun-
teers of America. 1t is said that Bal
lington Booth has intimated desire to
meet his brother.
General Bramwell Booth is in his
fifty-seventh year. He was born at
Halifax. England. in 1856 and was

of his parents, he dropped the William.
His father announced the birth of

Mrs, Booth presented the world with

At the time of Bramwell's birth the
Salvation Army probably was a remote
idea in the mind of his father, then a
minister of the Methodist New Connec-
ton and known simply as the Rev.
William Booth. Bramwell Booth was
about ten years old when his father
launched his evangellstic work at Mile

army he cleaned inkwells and per

janitor. He studied theology under Rev
Charles q. Finney, an American.
He developed keen sense of the
need of business capacity and bust
nessllke methods In the conduct of the
material side of the army. Constant
association with the field officers
taught him that "the laborer Is worthy
OF his hire" that these men and wo
