VOYAGE FAMOUS IN HISTORY
Wooden Paddle Wheel Steamer, the

Departure from Sydney recently or

The vessel, the Golden Age, was a

Steam Navigation company The In
tention of the company was to run six
vessels via Panama" the Panama

WAGING WAR ON ELEPHANTS
demned Them for Their Destruc-
tion of Irrigation Canals.

One Of the many after-war shortages
that the world will have to suffer, but
which will not prove the hardship that
other lacks have impressed upon the
people, is that of African elephants.
1t is all because the mighty pachy-
derms," as the circus bills say, have
appropriated the irrigation canals IN
southern Africa for their own parti-
cular bath tubs, and when they plunge
into the cooling water to enjoy their
dips they are not particular about the
manner in which they tread about the
dams and banks. AS a result much
damage has been done and the agri-
culturists have been waging a relent-
less war on the ponderous and destruc-
tive animals. Many housewives who
have male members of the family of
the "splaShing" variety can appreciate
the feelings of a South African farmer
when he views the clutter left by the
elephants. Recent reports say that
no more elephants remain in Zululand,
that southern RhodeSta's herds have
been wiped out and that few are left
in the eastern TransVaal. The Afri-
can elephants, unlike those from In
dia, are far from docile and are not
easily domeSticated.

DOGS ASSIST LONDON POLICE
Weli-Trained Animals Have Been
Found Of Great Help in Appre-
hension OF Criminals.

The present wave Of crime has given
an impetus in Great Britain to the
training of dogs for police purposes.
Police dogs were used to assist in
bringing the breaker of laws to Justice
before the word police was ever known.
In older days bloodhounds were used
on the borders of Scotland in certain
districts infested by murderers and
robbers, and a tax was laid on the in
habitantS for maintaining them: also
there was law in Scotland that Who
ever denied entrance to one of these
dogs should be treated as an accessory
to the crime.
The training of these dogs calls for
a large amount of patience, intelligence
and resource, far removed from the old
idea of dog breaking, which was usual
ly to beat the animal mercilessly into
the observance of a few set rules.
1t is step by step in his daily lessons
that a dog gradually becomes a track
er of criminals by their scent, pursues
escaping prisoners, discovers missing
people. or finds suspected ones in con-
cealment
He learns fearlessly to seize and pull
down any aggressor, whether his mas
ter or himself be attacked, and to do 1t
with the least possible damage, ceas-
ing at once when the enemy gives in.
The popular conception OF the police
dog is wild, savage brute which prob
ably accounts for the antipathy to his
use displayed in some quarters, and it
is well that the public should realize
that the properly trained dog is at all
times perfectly under control.

RETURNING TO SAVAGE DAYs7
Feathers. Furs and Jewels, Now 80

GlimpSeS of present fashions and
views of some shop windows lead to
the impression that the world is. after
all as some commentators say, revert
ing to the savage, remarks the New
York Evening Sun.
Women are wearing more and more
feathers in their hair and more and
more large and ornate jewelry upon
their hands and in their ears. Men are
showing a decided inclination to orna
ment themselves to the limit of their
purses in these days of the high cost OF
clothes. and altogether anthrOpOlOgiSts
tell us it is not such a very far cry
from the adornments of present-day
civilization to that of the Nearanthaler
Ian or the Garden of Eden itself
TIE fashions of last winter showed a
recollection toward furs such as the
world has never seen since the days
when they were worn raw. Both men
and women Wore them.
In milder climates women seem to
be wearing less and less. The stage is
noteworthy in respect TO the unclothed
feminine back and certain sections Of
society seem to follow the stage. Fash
ions return to Eve seems in certain
cases to be a mere matter of weeks. as

ALL DUE TO MALNUTRlTION
Various Diseases of infancy and

Prs cticnlly all varieties Of malnutri-
ton occurring during infancy and

British Medical Journal, is the want Of
Qualification or naturalization Of de-
veloping bone, and this, in its turn, Is
due to the existence of requirements
for calcium, which for the time being
are more urgent than those of develop
Ing bone. These urgent requirements
are the necessity for neutralizing acid

to Ieutralize or compensate an exist
