RUSSIANS HIT BY FAMlNES
Shortages Of Food Date From t6oo-- 8000,ooo Persons Reduced to Star
 vation in Famine of 1911.

Next to the proletariat of India and China, the Russian peasant feels the pinch of poverty and hunger more keenly and more frequently than any other, says the National Geographic society. One of the earliest Russian famines on record WIS that of lGoo with death toll of 100000 peasants Cats, dogs and rats were eaten. and even the strong eyereame the weak. Human flesh was sold in the markets. Three Russian famines of recent date were among the most severe in history-in 1891, 1906 and 1911. Dur Ing the ten years following the first of these, the government allotted nearly Sl2500o.00o for relief. but the sums were not always judIeiously ex- pended. In 1G0G the government gave 10 pounds of four q month to nh per sons under eighteen years old and over tifty-nine. Those between these ages received no allowance, and the older and younger sharded their pittanee with the others
 The famine of 1911 extended over one-third the area of Europe and af- fected 30l0000OO persons, while B. 100000 were reduced to starvation. Weeds, the bark of trees, and bitter bread made of acorns, constituted the chief diet

SlAM'S ROYAL ELEPHANT HUNT
Kings Order for Round-Up Is Sigma, Tor outpouring of Natives to
 See Big Show.

When n king of Slam finds that the stock of tame elephants in the gov ernment stables Is getting low, he sends out an edict that royal ele- plant hunt will take place. This or der Is received joyfully throughout Siam, for royal elephant hunt is enough of spectacle to induce peo- pie from all over Siam to come to Ayutha, where the animals are to be brought when captured.
 Days, sometimes weeks. are required to locate and surround the herds to be chptured. Then they are skillfully driven in the direction of Ayutha So slowly do the great beasts travel that four or five miles is sometimes the daily rate of advance. When Ayuraa is reached the herd Is driven into corral, which Is q large walled-in court. and here it is kept until the desirable beasts are selected. The rest are then home.
 The tanning of the animals retained takes several days and k the climax to the spectacle. Crowds gather to hear the untamed elephants trumpet their anger at being caught and 10 watch their clumsy struggle against mastery ny the native trainers.-De- troit News.
