HAD NOTHING AT ALL TO SAY
Under the Circumstances Captain
Could Hardly Be Blamed for
Preserving Silence.

Everybody in Middle Bay knew that
Mrs. Captain Liscomb was talking
about making a visit to her married
daughter in Cincinnati. She had been
talking about it for two years, but
age and the natural timidity of a
woman unused to travel had post
poned the great event from month to
month, until the neighbors began to
wonder whether it would ever come
to pass.
So one morning, when Uncle Billy
Evans met Captain Liscomb in Eccles'
store, there was twinkle in his eye as
he asked:
"When's Mis- Liscomb going out to
Ohio, Daniel?"

A gentleman from the north was en-

surrounded in a small cane thicket.
The dogs could not get the bear out
and the planter who was at the head
of the hunt called to one Of the ne
groes:
Sam, go in there and get the bear
out"
The negro hesitated for moment
and then plunged into the cane. A
few moments later the negro, the bear
and the dogs were rolling upon the
ground outside. After the hunt was
over the visitor said to the negro:
"Were you not afraid to go into
that thicket with that bear?"

mothers systematic placing of her
baby In an elephants care and with
in reach Of its trunk while the mother
herself goes to fetch water or to get
wood or materials to cook the family
meal.
1t is pointed out that no jackal or
wolf would be likely to pick up and
carry of a baby which was thus con-
fided to the care of an elephant Most
people who have lived In the jungle
know how very possible it is for an
animal of the first class to carry on
a baby when 1t is lying in hut or
when the mother is unprovided with
means to fight of the marauder.
Children brought up in the compan-
ionship of an elephant becomes ridici-
ously familiar with the big pachyderm
and take all manner of liberties with
him, liberties which the elephant
seems to endure on the principal that
they do not annoy him while they
amuse the child. One may see, it is
averred, a little native child. quite
naked, about two feet high, standing
on an elephants bare back and taking
1t down to the water to battle, vocifer-
ating all the while In most unbecom-
ing terms of native abuse. On arriv-
ing at the water the elephant, osten-
sibly in obedience to the child's com
mand, lies down and enjoys himself,
leaving just a portion Of his body, like
a small island, above the water. Up
on this part Of the elephant the child
will stand and shout, yelling all the
more f,he has several companions OF
his own age also In charge Of ele'
plants, all wallowing in the water
around him. If the child should slip
of his island the Elephants trunk i'm.
mediately replaces him in safety.

Of becoming mahouts themselves.

KEPT LIVING BY MAGNETISM
French Physician Makes Public As
sertion Of Remarkable Sue
cess Of Experiments.

DR.. Henry Durville of Paris, whose
feats of mummifcation and preserva-
ton Of animal and vegetable bodies
by the magnetism that passes from
his hands are attested by well-known
physicians, now asserts that by SINH
lar passes he has been able to extend
in an extraordinary way the results
obtained by Dr. Carrel in preserving
life in the detached parts Of living or
ganism.
According to DR.. Durville. he has
succeeded in keeping a frogs heart.
immersed in a seven-tenths of 1 per
cent. solution of salt water, beating
for twenty-four hours and more by
"magnetizing" It with passes from
time to time. In this way. he says,
he also has succeeded In making the
hinder parts Of frog respond to an
electric current fifteen days after kill
ing the animal, three days being the
extreme limit under normal circum-
stances
He further declares he tested his
theory with two frogs hearts. One
Of these which had ceased to beat he
put In a magnetized serum; the other.
still beating, was immersed in an or
binary serum. At the end of several
days the magnetized heart began to
beat and continued to beat at the con-
tact Of an electric current, while the
other was completely dead.
Dr.. Durville began his experiments
with q study of the effect Of magnet
ism on microbes. and says he is able
to stupefy or even kill cholera germs.
He says also that he has completely
mummified a human hand by passes.

"Again-come. with me-" invited the

the outskirts of the town where a
large building stood.

Dorothea Sisterhood. That night a

he would now accept a rightful honor.
