under two classes, the ono of pageantry. the other of utility. Every native prince or nobleman of distinction in Indie keeps elephants to swell his retinue. while. on the other hand, government officials and private persons, such as timber contrac- torres, etc., require them for work. sFor court display and temple processions per lection of form and carriage is the para mount consideration. but for economic purposes, strength and docility are the main requirements. The tVskers or male animals are far more valuable for work than females, not only from their greater strength but from tf 2 good use they maFe of their tusks in turning and carrying logs.
 A tuslker. if given the end of rope to pull puts 1t over one tusk, and hold Ing the end between his teeth can move a weight with this purchase which fe- male with only the hold of her teeth would be unable to manage. Tusks usu- ally require cutting once year. For this the elephant ts made to lie down in water and the portion to be removed Is then sawed off. This gives him no pain, and is necessary to prevent elephants injur- ing each other, but not as precaution for the safety of their attendants.
 Elephants are used by the government for the transport of troops. for provis- ionins outpost stations which are not connected by roads. etc. The progressing development of roads and railways in India may be expected to do away with tho necessity for the services of some of these animals in the most accessible To- calit'es. but it will always be necessary to keep a certain number in case of move- ments Tn rough and uncivilized districts Tn some instances traction engines are now used where elephants were formerly employed. as in the transportation of harvy machinery over districts where there are no railways.
 For draught elephants are very valua- hle. as logs can be brought by their aid 4fssm localities where they would other- .utpcpte ipaccessible. The elsphant's pow

Berlin Paper Lauds Enslish

From the New York American.
 Rotterdam.-One of the editors of the Berliner Tageblatt. who has taken part as an officer in the recent fighting, sent his paper letter regarding the English troops He writes:
 "We soon learned these gentlemen used their long legs. not only for flight. but very often for very dangerous attacks. The English infantrymen arc very dam gerous enemies. They defend with great energy. and when driven back they ai- ways try during the night to regain what they lost They are always helped strong y by artillery. which is the same quality as the German.
 'srhe Fnglishman also uses his instinct for hunting. and. being a sportsman. has better control of his nerves than the 0er- man. Their cleverness in patrol work io also very noticeable. cannot alwaye eay the same of the patrols on my own elde."
 The editor also expresses admiratton for the way in which the English inc trenchments are made and concludes py saying that although the English may no hirelings. the Germane must not undos- estimate them-
 The appearance Of such letter in . Berlin newspaper 10 extraordinary.

Run of Questions

 Mako believe you are at the window of the baggage rooms. lns.de the room there IS long desk. Two receiving clerks are laboring over receiving sheet check ing baggage. On the other side Of the window are four or i've men and women, anxious and nervous lest they miss their train. which is already on the platform, but desii ous of getting information and giving advice to the baggageman. The telephone ben jinsles merrily and adds to the excitement.
 Lady with the little boy at her side Will by baggage go through direct on the same train with ms?"
 Stout man. who looks like travelling nan-"Quick. brothers. there's the train waiting upstairs now, and I want this baggage to make that train with me the worst way

 "How's business?" the baggageman with a tint of gray at his temples ech- oed the question, as he critically sur veyed the questioner "Oh, you're rom the newspaper? Well, we get belly full of it."
 Hey, Johnny, get me the sheets he shouted to the young looking bag gage clerk. Johnny got the sheets and deposited them on the desk In front of the speaker. well. let's see, last week we used up 69 sheets In check to be shiped to the mountains and the shore.

Disaster of a Century Ago.

Several lives were lost and much property destroyed by an explosion of gunpowder which occurred at Wool wich 100 years ago. Woolwich is the most ancient military and naval ar senal in England. In its dockyard men, of.war were built as long sso as the beginning of the sixteenth century. The royal arsenal contains a factory for the making of shells and car. tridges and a mammoth foundry for casting srmor and ordnance, in addi- ton to vast magazines of great guns, powder and other warlike stores. The Royal Military academy, where offi- cere are trained for the British army, also is a part of the institution. Dur. ing the centuries of its existence the arsenal has been the scene of many disastrous fires and fatal explosions, One of the most recent of the explo- sions occurred in 1908 and resulted in the death or serious injury of more than thirty persons

impressed the Child.

Representative John C. Floyd of Ar kansas is one O the mildest-mannered trust busters that ever set foot in the house judiciary room, but he has a voice like the roaring bull of Bashan, and when his voice. gestures and shak- ing, shaggy mane all get into action at once the sound of Niagara is but a foolish whistle by comparison.
 A child sitting in front of Floyd, when in action, must get the impress sion he is watching NesuY,us blow off a couple of million tons of lava. And 1t was a child who sat through an ad- dress of Floyds the other day. The Arkansas trust buster was delivering a little talk in a church cue evening. and in the well-known words of the amateur reporter, he held the audi ence spellbound,"
 After it was all over the little child was led, amazed and blinking, out into the starlight, He grasped his mothers hand warmly, and asked in a frightened whisper;

FISH HOOK RECOVERS BODY
Passengers From Passing Train Drse River After Boy Is Knocked
 of Bridge.

Using the boys own fishing rod in graphing for his body. passengers on a SusQuehanna and Western train that had knocked Paul Colombo from a bridge near Rabbit. N. J.. into the river, succeeded in hooking his coat and dragging the body to the surface. The lad, who lived at Twenty-third and Pallsade avenue, West New York. was fishing on the edge of the railroad bridge with John Eichlar, when the train due at Hackensack at 12:5 56 came along
 The Eichlar boy just managed to es- cape injury, the pilot of the engine grazing his heel The Colombo boy was struck on the side of the head as he tried to swing away from the rail. Engineer Vrooman saw the boy fall into the river, stopped the train, and the passengers hurried to the scene Several boys who were swim ming near by dived time and again, but without success.
 Then the passengers took turns with young Colombo's fishing rod. and final ly the hook caught in the lads coat The body was dragged to the bank and taken on the train to Hackensack.

USE LARGEST TURBINES
Is Installing Record current-Pro- cucino Engines.

The largest turbines in the world are now being built by the Nesting house company for the power station of the lnterurban Rapid Transit com pany, East River and Seventy-fourth street. New York. They will supply sufficient electric current to operate l35 fully loaded tep:car trains accom- modating l35,000 people
 Each turbine-there are three-will be directly connected to dynamo Which will deliver 30,O00 kilowatts, or about 41,00O horsepower, and at full overload each. machine can deliver 36,000 ktlowqtts. or practically 50,000 horsepower for a short period of time.
 The amount of steam used and the enormous amount of cooling water re- quired for the condensers afford fig. ures that are positively astonishing to the layman. Each unit will use about 350,000 pounds of steam per hour. and to condense this steam so that all the benefits of vacuum may be obtained in connection with the low pressure unit each turbine must be provided with a condenser contain ing 60,000 square feet of cooling sur face. To insure this the condenser will contain 36 miles of brass tubing one inch in diameter. The necessary amount of cold water for circulation through the tubes will be drawn from the East river. and through each con denser there will be passed every hour 4.500,000 gallons of water To pump this amount of water through the condensers for the eight units which will be ultimately installed calls for tunnel twelve feet four inches wide and twelve feet four inches in height

Local Self-Government.

President Wilson Tuesday, in his reply
to the women who called on him in be-
half of the suffrage, spoke of his passion
for local self-goyernment.' 1t is in order
to ask his consideration of the bearing of
this sentiment upon the immediate issue
with regard to the filling of a certain local
office. The position of RECORDER of deeds
of the District is vacant Because it was
filed by man from outside of Wash
ington, in pursuance of long continued
policy of using this particular position as
political patronage, it is proposed to be-
stow il again upon a nonresident in rec
ognition of partisan services.
AS The Star has repeatedly pointed out,
this is peculiarly local position. 1t has
to do exclusively with the affairs of the
by their fees. with no sharing of the cost
by the national government 1t bears
upon the property titles of the District
people. and for satisfactory performance
of the duties of the office a person well
acquainted with local conditions should be
named.
In these circumstances surely President
Wilson's passion for local se,fgovernment
will cause him to recognize the impro-
priety of continuing practice which has
10 other warrant than repetition, and
political eXigencies of thirty years ago
With this opportunity in hand to mani
fest his string prediction for local self
government the President can give force
to his words to the women at yesterdays
