Tiger Hunting Elephants
Must Display Bravery or
Forever Be 0isqualified

Not all elephants are qualified for
tlger-hunting. Every animal used In
the sport must be steady. obedient, ana
fearless, for II single elephant mis-
behaves or bolts when he confronts
one of the huge cats, the deadly con-
tagion of fear may spread broadcast,
and runaways, broken palanquins, and
loss of life may result. This is the
way in which men select the animals
to train for the hunt:
As a preliminary step, they walk
the elephants back and forth In
court where are ranged cages con-
tanning tigers and leopards, for the
sporting rajahs generally maintain
private menageries. When they be-
come accustomed to the smell Of these
animals, q tiger Is chained to a post
in an open space, with leash care
fully regulated to limit the length OF
his leaps. The mahouts then force
the pupil-elephant to approach as near
the post as safety allows and to re-
main for some time within few steps
Of the tiger.
Each day the tigers chain is length
ened. and the prisoner, which is kept
half-starved. charges fiepcely at the
elephant as 1t comes near. Those ele-
plants which stand their ground with
out finching are considered qualified
for the hunt In the jungle, but those
that have revealed the least timidity
ara depraded from the rYnk of hunt
er--the aristocracy of their kind-and
are turned over to ignominious labor.
According to zoologist Of the CAL
cutta museum. among every thousand
elephants that undergo this training
only about fifty will not bolt when
brought face to face with the chained
tiger; but nearly half of those that
stand their ground bravely at first re-
treat before a more ferocious assault.

Believe Magnetic Poles
Have Slow Motion Around
the Geographical Poles

The geographical poles of the earth
are the extremities Of the imaginary
line passing through its center OF
gravity and about which II reyolves,
and are therefore symmetrically To-
Gated with regard to the equator. The
magnetic poles, however, are not CO
incident with the geographical poles.
nor are they dlametrically opposite TO
each other. Prior to the recent at
tempt of Amundsen 10 determine the
north. magnetic pole, the only other
was by Capt. James Ross in June,
1881, who found the dip of the mag
netic needle to be 50 degrees, 80 min
utes. seconds, In latitude 20 de-
grees, 8 minutes, seconds, north, and
longitude 90 degrees, 45 minutes, s
seconds, west. which is in King Will
liam Land. Canada. The result OF
Amundsen's observations has not yet
been published by the Norwegian au-
thorites. For the south magnetic
pole, from a consideration Of all the
results available. according to the
United States Coast and Geodetic
Survey, the position of latitude ~ de-
grees, minutes, south, and longitude
156 degrees, east, has been tentatively
adopted. These values are only rough
ly approximated and fof that reason
are given only In degrees and tenths.
BY reason Of the annual variation Of
the magnetic needle, II is believed the
magnetic poles are not stationary, but
have slow motion around the geo.
graphical poles. The subject is shroud-
ed in mystery and constitutes one of
the many as yet unsolved problems in
terrestrial physics.

First Safety Bicycle Was
Placed on Market in 1880

The first of the safety bicycles was
put on the market in 1880. In this the
high front wheel was reduced and the
rear wheel was about two-thlrds the
height OF the front one. The machines
with wheels of the same size appeared
in 1885. Bicycling began to be popular
about 1891. and the "craze" reached
it's height about 1895, when wheels
had become low enough in price to be
within the means OF the multitude.

Bagdad supplies the Tigrls valley as

very large quantities are sent into
Persia via Kermanshah and Hamadan.
All this business Is supplied and con-
