WAGING WAR ON ELEPHANTS
South African Farmers Have Con-
demned Them for Their Destruc-
ton 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.
It 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 agr1-
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 Rhodesia'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.

Frank E. Howe, former lieutenant
governor, and now editor of the Ben
nington Banner, presents it as his best
bet that Fred H. Babbitt of Bellows
Falls still stands well in the lead of the
other three gubernatorial candidates.
He bases his reckonings on careful
study of previous election figures and
conditions, and gives the following as
the nearest possible guess at the result
of next September primaries; Rabbit
12,5O8, Emery 1890, Agan 1916, and
Hardness 5, All.
Surely if Howe's estimate of condi-
tions in other counties is no more biased
than it is in Addison, he has made
pretty conservative summary of the
situation. His figures for Addison
county show an even split between
Rabbit and Agan and also an even
break between Hardness and Emery.
The likelihood IS that neither Emery nor
Hardness will figure to the extent of 600
votes in this county, and most of that
strength will 60 to Babbitt, rather than
to Agan.
The following is Howe's table. Stick
it in your hat and compare the figures
with the September vote:

Sound and Ltoht as Power.

Starting steering and stopping
model auto by blowing an ordinary
police whistle, an English scientist re-
Gently gave a striking demonstration
of the possibilities of distant control
of machinery. The performance is
the subject of an illustrated article in
the Popular Mechanics Magazine. The
little electrically driven car, with its
manikin passengers, started forward
at the first blast Of sound. Another
note from the whistle turned 1t
around and a third stopped it at its
starting place. By blowing whistles
of varying tones, a series Of small
electric lamps were selectively lighted.
Control by light rays was illustrated
by the ringing of gong connected to
light sensitive cells, when the illu-
minator of a hand lamp was thrown
upon them, thereby reducing their
electrical resistance.
