He can eat anything that is green or
even has been green, just so long as
there Is enough of It. He can get
his water from the aloe plants on the
arid plains or dig well In the sand
of a dry river with his trunk and

equally at home living half in the

is at home on the low, hot plains Of
the seacoast at the equator or on the
cool slopes of Kenia and Elgon. So
far as I know he suffers from no con-

elephants do rest lying down, but no
one ever saw Kenia elephant lying

"Passion," starring the famous Con-

production that It marks new mile
stone in the upward and forward
progress of the photoplay art and it
has aroused considerable interest on
the score that it offers some technical
PROJECTIONS long sought by producers
the world over.
The story concerns the rise of a
little French milliner to "a place of
so much power that she rules king
and through him a nation. AS viewed
bv envious eyes, this remarkable
little woman was merely a heartless
creature bent on gratifying her
whin of the moment. Her infu-
ence over the king was described in
ribald language as thing of shame,
but as is revealed in the course Of
stirring events this notable figure
was not without her virtues although
she is frankly burdened with pro-
clivity for many follies. The con-
sensus of opinion among those who
have seen this picture is that the
former milliner held the heart of
the king captive not by coarseness
and .debauchery, but by her youth,
her beauty, her simple spirit and the
natural gayety of young and gra-
cious girl. And her attitude in, de-
sorting her sweetheart of lowly days
is not wholly devoid of redeeming
qualities since she consistently and
persistenty befriended him, with
more than degree of mere friend
ship, throughout her career as a
power behind the throne. She was
wilful, capricous and spoiled, but
there is great doubt as to whether
or not she could be described as the
depraved monser in skirts such as
her enemies branded her. And,
speaking of her enemies, they finally
grew to numbers including the whole
populace of her native country and
the result was a revolution in which
she was the main and central target

Slept Thirtx-Two Years.

Surely subject for the speculative
psychologist is the record sleep In
dulged in by Caroline Gibson, a
Swedish girl. In 1875, when only a
child of fourteen years, she fell into a
long trance in the island Of Okuko. In
the Baltic, and remained unconscious
for 80 years. Food was administered
to her, although she seemed quite un-
concerned. Nor did she respond to
any inquiry during that long time.
Then suddenly she awoke, no longer
a girl, but a middle-aged woman. and
the most careful examination could
not reveal the slightest weakness or
mental effect After coming out of her
long trance Caroline enjoyed very good
health.
