Raincoats at Ten Gents.

A man in Illinois has invented a process to produce and market rain coat that can be retailed from 10 cents up. These coats are made in the regulation slip-on style, from an integral piece of waterproof paper. Their production cost, according to The Sartorial Art Journal, will be no higher than five cents each, and even that figure can be lessened. The coat can be folded up to fit in an ordinary envelope and is particularly adapted to being carried in handbags.
 The coats can be made of oiled pa per, or parrafin, yellum parchment pa per- which gives the appearance of silkiness at a, short distance. The original idea was for the coats to be worn only once. but. after. trial. it was idemonstratAd that they could he utilized successfully two or three times. The coats are reinforced '"herc the buttons are sewn on, and alos where the buttonholes are cut. There, ere only. two seams, both run n:ng underneath the arms and down the sides. The seams are cemented ny ordinary glue.

ELEPHANTS AS WORKERS.
Without Them 6urma's Teakwood
Trade Would Languish.

Since 1886 the export Of lockwood
from Burma has increased enormous
ly; but, despite the phenOmenally high
price Of the wood. it would not be
profitable to work it. even in these
days. without the elephant. In this
trade the Burmese elephants, massive
animals whose strength is almost un-
limited, are seen ut their best as beasts
Of burden.
From the time when the forest areas
are purchased, before the trees are
felled. to the hour of export on the
ocean going vessels ut the port on the
Indian ocean the elephant is the main
worker. Far away in the malarial
swamps and almost ilnpenetraDle jun
gles this majestic beast first tramps
down passage through the under
growth. Then. guided by his Indian
Keepers prong, the elephant conf
mences his arduOus labor of dragging
the felled trees to the river. whence
they are conveyed by raft down coun-
try to the sawmills.
These enormous trees. untrimmed
and cumbrous, are sometimes dragged
up and down the jungle and mountain
forest pathways en- route to the river
with rare precision. At the mills
again the work of packing and stack
ing is done exclusively by elephants.
When the trees are sawed into lengths
the elephants do the pilng, bringing
the huge planks. from the sheds and
