EAGER TO SEE ELEPHANT
First One That Was Brought to the
United States Aroused the Ut
most Curiosity.

Nowadays. when summer In the
United States would hardly seem itself
without the coming OF q circus, 1t is
difficult to realize the excitement
aroused by the first exhibition Of an
elephant. A now-forgotten Snowman,
Hackaliah Bailey, is said to have i'm
ported the first elephant nearly a hun
dred years ago, and the animal was
a whole show in himself. The circus
tent had not yet come into being, and
the elephant was shown in barns in
the Eastern states that then held the
bulk of the population. TIE prevent the
public from seeing the show without
charge, the elephant Travelled from
place to place in the night; but even
so, the public refused to be wholly cir
cumvented, and small companies gath
cred with bonffreS ready to light when
the strange creature came numbering
past on his way to the next town.
Sometimes, however, the management
defeated this intention by sending
along the road horse built up to look
Ike an elephant In the dark, and when
the bonfire had been lighted and had
burned out the real elephant followed.

WHEN AVIATION WAS NEW
Benjamin Franklin Evidently Had
Expectations of Its Value, Though
Venturing No Predictions.

Somebody has been quite naturally
reminded by events In the air, of
what Benjamin Franklin said to Con
dorcet about aeronauticS 136 years
ago, in Paris. The French capital
was just then much interested in the
balloon ascensionS of the Montgolfier
brothers, perhaps even more excited,
on the smaller scale of the times,
than modern cities over the actual
crossing of the Atlantic, and wher-
ever men came together the future
possibilities OF ballOOning made an
immediate topic of conversation. Con-
dorcet, meeting Franklin, asked him
II he thought an aeronaut would ever
be able to steer his balloon. ''The
thing is in its infancy" said Frank
lin. 1T is necessary to wait" But
what is the good Of it" demanded a

piled Franklin, 'It Is a child just

In the olden days Devon and Corn
wall were notorious for their wreck
ers, who tricked many a gallant YES
sci ashore on the rOck-encircled coast
by false lights. In many places the
spectres of ships wrecked in this man

rious wrecker who was wont to lure
ships ashore by moving lights in Ian

Making Gas From Wood.

Experiments on wood as part substi-
tute for coal III gas making have been
carried out in France. The wood used
was sea pine in the form Of billets cut
from the middle Of the trunk. The
charge of the wood was about half the
weight of that of coal, and carbOniza-
ton occupied half the usual time.
When running one retort with wood to
every two with coal. no appreciable
difference in the calorifc power of the
gas was noted. OF the two by-products

Sleep is a necessity Of life no less
than is food. No man has ever sue

feet made sleep impossible, he falls at
