Th'ee-Headed Elephant.

or the many curiosities to be seen
In the wonderful temples of Mandalay,
says the Wide World Magazine. few
arrest the attention of the travelling
westerner more than the three-headed
elephant in the Arakan pagoda, which
is regarded by the Burmese as one OF
the most sacred of their many shrines.
The principal object of alteration in
this temple is seated image OF
Buddha 1914 feet high, and heavily
coated with gold-leaf. This gold-leaf
is constantly being renewed with the
offerings of pious devotees; you can
buy leaf for rupee, follow the Dill
grlms who flock to the temple up the
steps leading behind the image, and
place the glittering morsel on Buddha's
back, thus performing an act OF great
merit In Burmese eyes. The three
headed elephant is Buddaa's guard
and occupies the sanctuary that leads
into the holy of holies. This strange
statue is made of bronze. and apart
from its freakieh character is a clever
piece of work

SHAPE OF PEOPLES HEADS
Writer Makes Assertion That IL Vsriea

The study of heads reveals some in.
teresting facts. One is that the left
side of the head is almost always
larger than the right. due, 1t is said.
10 the universal practise of using the
right hand more than the left. An.
other curious point is that nationality
considerably affects the shape of the
head. 1t would surely be an interest
ing subject for biologist to explain
why 1t is that the nearer the equator
race lives the rounder their heads
become.
NO one needs reminding OF the
round, bullet-shaped skull of the negro.
but the halter will assure us that a
Frenchman's head is rounder than an
Englishman's and similarly an Eng
lishman's rounder than Scotchman's.
The average Scots head tapers con-
slderably toward the front, narrows at
the temples and becomes square and
prominent at the forehead. German
heads, on the average, are rounder
than English, and broader at the back
Irish heads. in general, are long, like
the Scotch. but scarcely as narrow

cage. and watched, for expected the
snakes to swallow them as they did

advanced. He touched each egg gent
ly in turn with the tip of his nose or
the point of his forked tongue and
