tic order calling for the abolition
Of Imprisonment for desertion from

the subject. Of general comment in
naval circles for several weeks. The
order provides for the summary dis

for the honorable discharge of men
who want to quit the service by merely

The new regulations. which are q
radical departure from the methods
which have heretofore prevailed in the
navy, were issued in accordance with
referendum vote Of the officers Of
the navy, a majority Of whom are
said to have favored the action. The
secretary stated he had become con-
WINGED that the general situation under
the old regulations in dealing with the
enlisted personnel who had not desired
to remain in the service was untenable
and not in keeping with modern bust

The secretary added that the order
would result in the wedding out of the
navy "undesirables" and raise the gen

Figures prepared by the secretary
show that there are now 1000 men in

TRUNKS OF ELEPHANTS.
They Serve Many Purposes and Take
this Place of Hands.

They Serve Many Purposes and Take
ths Place of Hands.
Elephants are interesting because
they have such varied feelings, such
wide range OF intelligent appreciation.
Doubtless this Is in part due to the
possession In the trunk Of an organ
the development Of which has itself
permitted development of brain power.
Very great brain power could not have
been developed as an accompaniment
merely of hoofs: hands, however i'm
perfect, We're necessary or something
else that would serve as a partial sub
stitute for hands.
BY watching herd OF elephants any
one can speedily see the large range of
uses to which the trunk Is put and the
large range of needs and emotions
which it develops and satisfies. Dur
Ing courtship the bull and COW caress
one another with their trunks. Ele
plants are very curious. and the trunks
are used to test every object which
arouses their curiosity. The cow is
constantly fondling and guiding the
calf with her trunk. The trunk is used
to gather every species of food and to
draw water. It Is used to squirt dust
or water over the body. 1t Is used to
test rotten and dangerous ground. 1t
Is In constant use to try the wind so
as to guard against the approach Of
any foe.
As one watches the great beasts the
trunks continually appear In the air
above them, uncurling. twisting. feel
ing each breath Of air. N@v and then
a great ear Is tapped. Now and then
the weight of the body is slightly
shifted from one colossal leg to an
other. The huge beasts are rarely en-.
tirely motionless for any length OF
time. Nor are they long silent. for
aside from subdued squeaks or growls
and occasional shrill calls there are
queer internal rumbllngs. Their eyes
are very bad. Like the rhino, they can
only see as very nearsighted man
sees. At distance Of eighty yards
or SO. when in my dull colored hunting
clothes. ! could walk slowly toward
them or shift my position without fear
of discovery. Theodore Roosevelt In
