Elephants Raid Railway Station.

Elephants Raid Railway Station.
We are used to stories Of how an
elephant occasionally upsets a circus
but 1t Is rare we hear Of an orgy Of
destruction like that which occurred
in the Malay peninsula. A herd Of
wild elephants attacked railway
station, pulling down the station
masters kitchen and bathroom. They
did the same to the clerks quarters
and then tackled the station while the
Office force looked on from trees. One
elephant took of an automatic weigh
ing machine as a souvenir Of the raid,
but finding it heavy, threw it down
ON the track. One Of the elephants
trumpeted the recall and they all went
back into the jungle except one who
fell In well and, had to be cut out
BY human aid, but was not detained
By the time help arrived after gem
eFal telegraphic alarm the huge beasts
had entirely disappeared.-Scientilc

The IS does not include travelling

If a modest hotel is chosen the

The tourist should adopt the French
habit of having rolls and coffee for
breakfast and this should cost him
about 90 confines a day. Luncheon
should be taken at one of the numer-
Gus cheap restaurants, where it can
be obtained for or 6 francs.
1t should be noted that there Is
small charge for cloth, plates, etc. Two
francs is ample for tea and the eve
ming meal should be similar to lunch
con. The correct time for it is be-
tween 6:45 and $50. Sundry fares
should not amount to more than Is
francs.
Altogether it should cost 1S5 francs
for food, lodging and sundry fares.
There are about go francs in f5. and

for showing exactly what attractions
