Elephant Labyrinth.

Near Ayuthia, formerly the capital
of Siam, is a curious labyrinth in
which elephants are captured alive.
The labyrinth is formed by a double
row Of immense tree trunks set firmly
in the ground, the space between them
gradually narrowing. Where IT begins
at the edge Of the forest the opening
Of the labyrinth is more than a mile
broad, but as It approaches Ayuthia it
becomes SO narrow that the elephants
cannot turn around. Tame elephants
are employed to lure wild ones into
the trap. Having reached the inner
end Of the labyrinth, the tame ele-
plants are allowed to pass through a
gate, while men lying In wait slip
shaclsles over the feet Of the captives.

feet and weak hearts, says the New
York Globe. Despite prosperity there
are thousands of young men who, I'M
der the stimulus Of preparedness cam
paigns, have been and are offering
their services to the country, but few
are accepted.
The preparedness parade is having
its effect. Thousands Of inquiries have
come into the recruiting stations by
mail. telephone and by applicants in
person. If only hat-footedness and
weak hearts could be eliminated, there
would be no difficulty in getting all the
men necessary. The fiat-footedness is
due in a large respect to the careless
ness of most men in selecting proper
shoes. The poor heart showing is due
in a large measure, the recruiting Off
GERS say, to the increased number OF
cigarette smokers.
AS an instance Of the severity Of the
physical examination, the report of
Capt. Frank 3. Evans, recruiting Off
Ger for the marine corps, may be cited.
Captain Evans has six recruiting sta

Newark. During the first eleven days

HEN FREAK BREAKS RECORD
One Of Wisconsin's Biddies' Eggs
Hatches Chicken and q
Half Out.

Attracted the other day to his incu-
bator by a promising peep, peep
Fremont Lounsbury saw emerging
from a shell a little ball Of fur with
q half-chicken alongside. The whole
fowl was perfect. The half fowl had
no wings, neck or head. Otherwise 1t
was all a chicken should be. j
Lounsbury explains the birth OF the
chicken and a half in a most .convinc-
ing manner. He says that some time
ago one of his hens was run over by
a motorcycle with a side car attached.
He did not think much of the accident
at the time, but now recalls that the
unfortunate hen was the n that laid
the egg that produced the chicken and
a half. Therefore Lounsbury asserts
that chickens also are subject to pre-
natal influence.
