And Miss Elephant agreed by saying,
"Mine feels every bit as queerly."
Now the keeper in the zoo had no.

heat inside the zoo is bad for them.
Their skin might crack if I didn't do
something for them" the keeper said
to himself.
And soon he was ready to fix them.

came to them with the oil he had
ready.
This will keep your skin from

who was the first one he visited"

We're given an oil bath once in a while. "
And he talked the same way as he
visited Mrs. Elephant, Miss Elephant
and several of the Elephant cousins.
After the oiling was over they had a
fine luncheon of water and hay. They
thought it was very delicious. And
the keeper regulated the steam heat
so it would not get too hot for them.
'Tell me, Mr.. Elephant said Miss
| Elephant, who was still very young,

cannot understand why the keeper
does not let our house get too hot

"Ah," said Mr.. Elephant, sit shows
Miss Elephant that you were born In

out of these big cages and yards. But
the keeper does look after us well, he
certainly does.
"And here in the zoo we need the
oil most especially because the heat is
different from summer heat. 1t is
steam, or forced heat, and our skin
is more apt to crack in this kind of
heat"

And after Mr.. Elephant had told of
the wondrous days in the marshes and
forests where they could oil them
selves and look after themselves so
well, Mrs. Elephant told Miss Elephant
of the wonderful summer months
which were coming before very long.
Poor Miss Elephant didn't know
which she would rather do-be wild as
her father had been-wild and free
or stay in the zoo and be well looked
after by the keeper, with the warm
summer approaching and nice sunny
yard to lie in.
But it really didn't make so much
difference what she thought because
she was in the zoo anyway, and after
awhile she decided it was better than
anything 1t was so safe, ana one was
always so sure of getting ones food,
aven if one were only an elephant!

Children Operate Furnaces.

A certain element of romance in steel
making is suggested in an account re-
ceived from England of the operation
of a two-ton electric steel furnace at
Sheffield, says the Scientific American.
The furnace is entirely hand operated
through a control worked in conjunc-
ton with recording ammeters; but the
chief point is the size of the operator.
A boy of fourteen or fifteen runs the
furnace constantly, and other furnaces
of this particular type are now OPP
Grated in the same manner by girls,
owing to the scarcity Of male labor.
The whole is an object lesson in the
steadiness and simplicity Of the new
type Of steel-making furnace. Such
results would have been r1diculed only
q few years ago.
