TuskIess EIephants,

1t is singular thing that Ceylon is
the only part of the world where the
male elephants have no tusks. They
have miserable little grubbers project
ing two or three inches from the upper
jaw and inclining downward Moth
ing produces either ivory or horn in
fine specimens throughout Ceylon.
Although some of the butfaloes have
tolerably fine heads. they will not
bear comparison with those of other
countries. The horns OF the native
cattle are not above four inches in
length The elk and the spotted deer's
antlers are small compared with deer
Of their size in India. This is the
more singular as it is evident from the
geological formation that at some re-
mote period Ceylon was not an island.
but formed portion of the mainland.
1t is thought that there must be ele-
ments wanting in the Ceylon pastur-
age for the formation of ivory.

How very few people really know
how to sit for a photograph! Every
face has its weak points, and these. un-
fortunately, have a way Of cropping up
in a picture and running the effect OF
course a photograph should be abso-
lutely lifelike, but at the same time
one naturally prefers to look ones best.
Scarcely one face in hundred has fea-
lures perfect enough to promise salts
factory photograph in profile. for this
pose brings any little defect into the
foreground For a full face picture a
sitter must possess fine eyes above all
things. If they are good the pose will
be a success even If the other features
are lacking In comeliness. If one has
any pronounced defects to hide the
three-quarter face is really the happi-
est way to be photographed. This po-
sitiOn enhances the charms Of the beau
tiful and tones down the Irregularities
Of the plain face.-London Answers.

Three Centuries on a Throne.

There has been only one monarch
who for $50 years sat on his throne,
crown upon his head. scepter in his
hand and dressed in the royal robes.
keeping solemn dominion over the dead.
Charlemagne. the great Frankish ruler,
during his life built for himself at AK
la-Chapelle, in Prussia. chapel and
beneath the chapel tomb. When the
monarch died in 814 his body was
placed. fully dressed, with scepter and
crown. in sitting position upon mar
BILE throne in this tomb. Nearly 200
years afterward the Emperor Otto Ill.
had the vault opened, and 1t is said
that the body of the great emperor was
found in state Of wonderful preser-
walton. still seated upon his throne.
with his sword by his side and the Cos
pels open in his lap. Again in 165 the
Emperor Barbarossa Frederick ID had
the vault opened. and in 1915 Fred
erick ii. took the remains from the
silent chamber over which for so many
years they had kept guard and had
them put into casset of gold and sill

The Iioht From the Earth.

Many different conjectures as to JUST
what color light we reflect to our neigh
boring planets have been made from
time to time. and the common consen-
sus Of opinion seems to be that what
ever color 1t does throw Is determined
by the vegetation on the surface. 1t
is not the highest form Of plants that
always produce the greatest effects.
Some of the most striking scenes on
the earth owe their characteristic fea-
lures to MOSES and l!chens-for in
stance. the famous crimson cliffs" OF
Greenland. which extend for miles
northward from Cape York and derive
their glorious color from the gro with OF
red lichens that cover their faces. On
the same principle 1t is thought that
the earth's broad expanse Of forest and
prairie land causes our planet to reflect
q considerable quantity Of green light.

spreads a greenish light over that part
Of the lunar surface which Is only IL
Eliminated from the earth. - Chicago
