"Left.Handedu Elephants.

Not many people are aware that ele-
plants are "right-handed" and "left-
handed" In using their tusks, and that
an examination OF the tusks of any
particular elephant will reveal the
class to which the elephant belongs.
An elephant uses only one tusk most
OF the time Il Is digging for salt earth,
uprooting trees or tearing up roots,
says a contributor TO an English maya
zine. When It's working tusk becomes
badly broken II turns 10 the other, just
as a man who has injured his right
hand takes 20 his left. The tusk must
be very severely damaged before ii will
give up using It In preference TO the
other.
The working tusk becomes worn and
smooth toward the end-so much
worn, In fact, that It Is often appre-
cinbly shorter than the other, and
frequently the tip has been broken off.
After that has happened the jagged
edge becomes gradually worn smooth,
and In the course of years pointed
again. but the working tusk Is always
blunter than the other.

OF Conserving Water for Use
In Summer Months.

Present-day interest Ia the develop

modest, old-fashIoned episode In the
history OF New England when, some
time In the forties, Judge Nathan Cros-
by drove round Lake Wlnnepesaukee
In his carriage and made rough calcu-
iations OF the effect upon local agri-
cultural land IL the lake level were
raised few feet. Out OF that car
riage ride grew plan by which Lakes
Winnepesaukee, Squam, Newfound
and others have since been used as
storage basins, conserving water for
the summer months. and thus becom-
ing modest pioneers OF the more Inn
pressive plants for water utilization
that Will doubtless be feature of the
United States in the not distant fu-
ture. Judge Crosby, however. may
have had no more idea OF the trans
mission OF water power In the form
OF electricity than his buggy had of
