x-RAY LOCATED THE RING
Valuable Diamond Recovered From
: Elephant Who Had Mistaken
! 1t for a Peanut.

Minnie Is an elephant who per
formed at summer resort, and she
was called upon recently to assist
at a performance not announced on
the bills. She had to undergo an X
ray examination, not because of any
physical need of it but because she had
swallowed a diamond ring, and it's
whereabouts in her Intervals had to
be discovered, in order to recover it.
According to the Scientific Ameri-
can, Minnie was eating peanuts out of
the hand of a man wearing the valu-
able ring, when she playfully slipped
the saliva-covered end of her trunk
over the fingers of the hand in search
of more peanuts, and, to the astonish-
ment and CONSERVATION of the man,
took the ring along in Withdrawing it.
She quickly tossed it into her yawn-
ing mouth, needless of the futile eff
forts of the owner to make her drop
it. So, to locate the ring, X-ray photo
graphs had to be resorted to.
Minnie's side was marked off into
seven sections, and seven X-ray plates
were marked to correspond with num-
bers painted on her side. One after
another, the photographs were made
of her interior to find the exact posi-
ton of the ring, 1t disclosed itself
in plate No. l. 1t had become firmly
lodged in the throat of the elephant.
She could not cough it up, nor would
it go down. A veterinary surgeon
was summoned, and he probed the
animals throat for the ring. The
gem was soon recovered, and
Minnie was none the worse for her
novel experience.

Different From a Brick.

Franklin Matthews represented 6
newspaper during the Russo-Japanest
war, and one day succeeded in break
ing through the news censorship and
reaching Field Marshal Oyama. The
interview was brief, but extremely
courteous, and the jubilant correspond
en- hurried back to prepare the story
for his paper. In the course of it lie
used this expression: marshal Oyama
is brick"
The letter was duly passed along to
the official translator, and presently
Captain Kanaka of the marshal's per-
sonal staff called upon Matthews.
Marshal Oyama presents his COM
pliments," said the captain suavely,
"and regrets to inform the esteemed
correspondent that his honorable let
ter cannot be forwarded as written"
"Why, what's wrong with it," cried
the amazed war scribe.
Captain Kanaka explained with po-
lite gravity:
Marshal Oyama," he said, objects
to having the great American public
regard him as baked mud"
For that is what the extremely lit
eral translator had made of brick"

a large party of American clergymen,
who were visiting Scotland, came to
survey the classic Borderland. The
end of the bridge bears a notice that
not more than ten people are allowed

diregard this, and went on in a body.
The collector saw them from his
little sentry box, and rushed out.

but unused to such tones the clerics
pressed on.

collector again.

Ignorance is bliss. That's the reason
why a married man often hides his
money in the sweat band of his hat
for a month after his wife discovers
where he is hiding it.
A man will go into a snake dispen-
