STEALING ELEPHANTS.


1t would seem that an elephant
would be about the last thing in the
world a man would be able to steal.
Yet in Siam one must keep careful
watch on such elephants as he may
own, no matter what their size, lest
they be stolen from him
Elephant stealing In Siam has al
ways been more or less prevalent and
for some time past has been u source
OF much anxiety TO the officials. Reg
ulations were drawn up about fifteen
years ago by the British and Siamese
authorities with view to the suppress
sion Of this offense. Later these were
supplemented by additional regula-
tons, embodying definite rules for the
purchase and sale Of elephants and
imposing penalties on all persons in
possession Of elephants who are not
provided with sale papers properly ex-
ecuted before the local authorities.
Notwithstanding all these precau-
lions elephant stealing continues in
Siam, and In one year alone fifty ele-
plants were stolen from British for
esters. representing a loss OF some
$4,000.
The Karen tribesmen are the chief
offenders; but, though their somewhat
inaccessible villages are wen known
to the near kwen, or district official,
In no single instance has the assist
ance rendered by the Siamese officials
led to the discovery OF the elephant
stolen or OF the thief. In short, re-
covery, when effected, has been due
to the activity and energy of the
British foresters and the searching
parties sent out by the British compa-
MES who employ the foresters.-Los
Angeles Times.

Spiders and the Stars.

Spiders as an aid to astronomy are
recognized to such an extent that GER
tain species are cultivated solely Tor
the fine threads they weave. No sub
stitute for the spiders thread has yet
been found for bisecting the screw OF
the micrometer used for determining
the positions and motions of the stars.
Not only because Of the remarkable
tineness of the thread are they valua-
BILE, but because OF their durable quail
tiles. The threads of certain spiders
raised for astronomical purposes with
stand changes in temperature, so that
often In measuring sun spots they are
uninjured when the heat is so great
that the lenses of the micrometer eye
pieces are cracked. These spider lines
are only one-fifth to one-seventh of a
thousandth Of an inch in diameter,
compared with which the threads of
the silkworm are large and clumsy.

CONGRESS PUSHING THROUGH
HAST SESSION LEGISLATION

than the suffragists,A in their demand
for a federal amendment, are ex-
pected to begin their fight anew.
In accordance with the custom he
set at the beginning of his term,
President Wilson will read his ad-
dress from the clerks desk in the
hall of the house while senators and
representatives are assembled be-
fore him on the benches. Members
OF the diplomatic corps hear him
from their places in the reserved
galleries and members of the cab
met have specially reserved seats
on the floor. The presidents mes
sage is about 1000 words long; is
purely discussion of domestic
issues, the state of the union" and
gives first prominence to the railway
situation.
While the organization fight in the
house does not come until the assem-
bling of the next congress, the senate
probably will see some political gen.
eralship in the selection of success
sor to Senator Clarke as president
pro tempore. Senators who have
their eyes on the majority floor

feat of Senator Kern, are loath to
take the office of pro tempore. There
have been some indications that the
situation might be solved by giving
the office of president pro tenn &c

pointed out would be a compliment
to the retiring senator, and would

BARRISTERS AND Boards.
In Former Days Lawyers In England
Were Forced to Shave.

III TURNER lays Lawyers IN England
Were Forced to Shave.
Nowhere was there more prejudice
against boards than at the Inns of
Court centuries ago The BLACK
Books OF Lincoln's inn of the six
teenth century are full OF references
to offenders who were "fyned double
comens durynge such TYNE as they
shall have any berde"
This proving ineffective, whole
batch of bearded barristers was in
1864 "banysshed from We Howse," and
shortly afterward judges order was
obtained for the compulsory shaving
Of some of the members. The inner
temple benchers were not quite so Sc.
we're, for fine OF 20 shillings was the
sole penalty imposed in 1856 for wear
yng beardes of more than three weekes
growthe"
The war against bearded barrlsters
continued at the Inns of Court until the
seventeenth century. Long after this,
however, the prejudice against the I'M
shaved barrister remained. The late
! Vice Chancellor Bacon carried his dis
like so far that he always refused to
listen to bearded or mustached coun-
sci, pretending that he could not hear
them. Even now, although there are
plenty of bearded barristers and X. C.'s,
few have attained eminence.
The most brilliant exception was per
haps the late judah Philip Benjamin,
silver tongued Benjamin." who de
spite his mustache and American
"goatee" earned the princely income of
EDS 900 a year.-London Chronicle.
