ead tiger will drive some elephants to

dead tiger will drive some elephants to
fury.
In view OF the vast strength pos
sessed by full-grown elephants, 1t
seems at first sight almost incredible
that they can be captured in herds,
and quickly subdued to the will Of
their masters. At the present time, in
Mysore, the regular method Of captur-
ing wild elephants is for a large num-
ber Of natives to go into the jungle.
/ some mounted on tanned elephants and
many on foot, and to make a great
noise and hulabalOO, which results in
driving herds of the wild elephants
into stockades, or often into ponds Of
water, which have previously been
surrounded on all sides, except at the
approaches, by immensely strong pali-
sades. AS soon as the herd is corner
ed, the passages that had been left
open are securely closed, and then the
trained elephants are brought into
ed prisoners.
In India, elephants are no longer
captured, as they still are in Africa,
by means Of huge pitfalls in the
ground. In these traps they are often
seriously injured or killed The Indian
elephant is somewhat smaller than
the African, and differs from it in 9TH
er ways, as, for instance, in the fact
that tusks are possessed only by the
males, while both sexes are provided
with them in Africa. In general also
the tusks Of African elephants are
nearly twice as large as those Of their
Indian relatives, single pair some-
times weighing as much as $50 or 300
pounds.

Moods of the Bay of Fundy.-The
bay of Fundy is full of strange and
contradictory features. Grand Manan
island, which lies to the port hand OF
vessel entering the bay. is one
rocky graveyard-on the reef to the
southeast an impaled ship is COM
mon sight. Every identation, nay, ev-
cry rocky Granny, bears some terrible
and suggestive name descriptive of
some maratime tragedy. On the island,
twelve miles in length and scarcely in
habited, is a graveyard filled with the
bodies of unknown sailors. A little
above Trinity rock the coast Of Nova
Scotia rises in rocky parapets from
the sea and a narrow inlet admits to
the Annapolis valley where, strange to
say, the eye rests on a fertile valley
of apple orchards which raise the
highest priced fruit in the world. In
this sheltered space is n climate
which, owing partly to the gulf stream
and partly to position, differs alto
gether from the arctic cold OF the
stormy sea without.-Westmins Ga

ANNUAL CATCH OF ELEPHANTS
Battue Season Occurs This Year at
Mysore, India.

Battue Season Occurs This Year at
Mysore, India.
This is the year Of the elephant
battue" in the great forests Of Mysore,
India.
The hunting Of these gigantic ami
mails Is permitted in India only every
fifth year. On the average from 200 to
$50 wild elephants are captured dur
ing the battue season, and these are
trained for the various purposes for
which the Asiatic elephant is used,
writes Garrett P. Serviss. Everybody
knows how conspicuous part tanned
elephants play in the great public
spectacles in India. Indian princes and
officials sometimes pay thousands Of
dollars for exceptionally fine and in
telligent elephants. After they have
been properly trained they are fur
nished with trappings cleaning with
gold and splendid color. The howdah
that an elephant trained for hunting
carries on it's back, and in which it's
master rides, while it's driver places
himself just back of it's head, fire.
quently weighs more than 200 pounds
but the huge animal regards it no
more than q horse does a riding sad
die.
On a good level road an elephant
will march at the rate Of five miles per
hour, and he is capable Of running, for
short distances, with a speed Of 20
miles an hour. He can carry, in regu-
lar service, from 1000 to 1900 pounds,
and he would not greatly mind a ton
or more.
With his enormous muscles and his
evident that his pulling and lifting
power must be immense. He can pull
down or root up small trees, can pick
up huge logs with his trunk and car
ry or throw them around like sticks.
and since he is very tractable beast
when we'll tanned, he often does farm
work of which a team of horses would
be incapable. He can make a fence or
place nuSe DlOChS Ol stone III Il wall.
He is often employed to drag artillery
wagons.
One Of the most interesting employ
ments of the elephant is in hunting
tigers. From the lofty back of his
elephant, at a height which, increased
by the howdah, may be IL or II feet
above the ground. the hunter can take
his aim at a tiger with a GOODNESS that
he would not possess if facing the ami
NAL on terra tirma. If, as sometimes
occurs, the tiger makes a leap for the
elephant, he seldom succeeds in at
tanning the man in the howdah, al
though the driver, in his exposed po-
sition on the elephants neck, is in
greater danger.
There seems to be natural enmity
between elephants and tigers, al
though an elephant will not attack a
tiger unless cornered or compelled to
do so by the tigers own fault. But
then n good fighting elephant will, if
he can once get his tusks to bear on
his enemy, gore him to death or liter
ally crush him by kneeling on him. 1t

~lIMIT OF LEGAL TENDER'
Federal Law Governs Amouet 'of Sil- yer or Copper Coins That Must
 Be Accepted.

The greatest amount that a person making payment may offer in silver or copper coins, with the certainty that the other party to the transaction can not refuse. is commonly known as the limit of legal tender" and is matter not of individual opinion but of fed eral law. A definite limit is specified for coins of each denomination except gold coins and silver dollars. both of which may be used in making legal tender up to any amount Of the minor coins now current, one-cent and iive-eent pieces are good only Up te 9 cents. Dimes, quarter dollars and haif dollars are good in making payments up to s10, while the old silver three cent pieces. half dimes and 20-eent pieces were each good up to five dol lars Although it is done as matter of business custom, there is no law compelling anyone to make change, and as a matter of law street car conductor. can refuse to take the five cent fare out of dime just as he can refuse to take it out of ten-dollar bill.

PLANTS THAT GROW IN SNOW
Alpine Soldsnellss Melt Covering and Push Their Spikes Up Into the
 Sunshine Above.

The behavior of some exotic water lilies in my possession was very re- markable. reports correspondent Of the London Mail. These plants were growing in a tank In wellheated greenhouse. The temperature of the water was always kept at a high level. yet the lilies died down during the winter. With the return of the spring the new leaves started to grow through the water to the surface. impelled by some influence which 1t Is not easy to explain It is. of course. possible in the case of these water plants that the increasing power of the sun may have some effect upon the roots. even though they are beneath the water. Here again this does not seem to be a very satisfactory explanation. for the watsr plants start growth when the power of the sun is not greater than it is in October, when the same sub jects go to rest,
 hut the foregoing instance pales be- fofa the strange case of the Alpine so!danellas. little plants which abound on the lower slopes of the mountains in Central Europe. Long before the thick covering of snow has melted the soldanella starts active growth. From the center of circle of evergreen leaves is sent up a flower stem. Now, in its development, this has the re- markable property of giving out heat, a feature which is noticeable in some other flowers when they are expand ing. The warmth thus generated nelts the snow. and in this way the spike bores its way up to the sunshine above. and. where the soldanellas are plentiful, a most singular appearance is the result. The flowers look just as if the spikes had been stuck into the snow, and it is difficult to think that they are attached to any plants.

Report on Fatality.

New Haven.-The public utilities commission ordered the placing of proper crossing gates by November at Beckley's crossing. Berlin. where the wife and children of William G. Brown. the New Haven teacher, were killed September 13, when MT. Brown nisinterpreted the fagmans signal. The report of Chief Engineer c. c. Etwell says that because of rlisun- derstandings over white flags at crossings, all railroads in the United States and Canada should adopt a standard color for crossing watch men, and suggests the early elimina- ton of grade crossings. The com missions finding recommends that crossing fagmen stand near the center of the highway and wherever practicable give hand signals, such as are used by traffic policemen. It also recommends concerted action by railroad companies. municipalities and automobile associations for the proper location of warning signs.
