The Story Of

NJ fIV ton Of the
>Ak2 other terri
tory OF Cue United States. which
Is not included In the actual for
ty-etght states. The biggest Of
these territories. Is Alaska, with !,
. an area Of 59O.884 square miles.
: This huge region was under Rus
sian domination until 1867 when
the United States purchased it
for $7,2O0,O0O. or. less than two
cents an acre. There was, some
: grumbllng at the time by few
: congressman over adding a re-.
frigerator to the United States"
But the refrigerator has been
found to be well stocked. with
gold, coal, forests and fisheries,
SO that Alaska has proven a
! profitable investment /:
Hawaii, like Alaska, is a reg
, zular territory. In 1893 there
was q successful revolution
against the Hawaiian queen, and
a provisional government was
formed under American protec-
ton. In 1893. at the request CT
the population, Hawaii was an
nexed to the United States.
Porto Rico, Guam and the Phil
ippines were coded to the United
States in 1899 as a result CT the
Spanish-American war. Porto
Rico and the Philippines IRE de-
tendencies and not territories.
Their local affairs are admins
tered by q legislature of two
houses and they are represented
in the United States by resident
commissioners elected by the leg
iSlatures. Guam Is under the
control Of naval officers in COM
mand of naval stations. Under
similar naval control are the
Tutuila group and Samoa,
which were coded in 1899 by
Great Britain and Germany.
Then there is the Panama Ca
I nal Zone, which was purchased
! from Panama in 1904 for $40,
I 100000. This is governed by the
1sthmian Canal commission
! The year 1917 saw the pur-
! chase from Denmark OF the Vir-
! gin Islands, for SIS, OO0, 900.
| These aggregate only $50 square
miles and are temporarily gov
I erned by a naval officer.
Finally, there Is the District
! OF Columbia, which was organ
! lied in 1871, as the seat OF our
] federal government. The resi-
| dents have no vote for either
I local or national officials, nor
| are they represented in con-
gress. 4.

STRIKING IN AIR
ELEPHANT At zoo
REFUSES To WORK
Mahout of India Cabled
for and the Animal
Obeys All Orders

London, August 15.-A big female
Indian elephant that went on strike
at the zoo last spring and refused tc
do what all big elephants at the zoe
are required to do-earn money by
carrying children around on her back
has been cured of the sulks and
laziness by the seeming magic treat
ment of an Indian mahout.
She was presented to the zoo by
the Maharajah of Cooch Behar two
years ago. She had been we'll train
ed and acted at all times like a SEN
sible, well-behaved elephant and
obeyed orders properly. She devel-
Oped no vices beyond that of picking
pockets for edible dainties. But ev-
cry elephant that has any sense at
all learns to do that in the zoo.
Then she took it into her big head
that she would not submit to being
bossed any longer. She declined to
stand between the new riding steps
that had been fixed up for the con.
venience of juvenile elephant riders
When the old wooden steps were sub,
stituted for the new ones she proved
equally obdurate. In the end she de.
cined to leave the elephant yard al
all.
As the elephant is a fine animal
and quite good tempered, it was de.
cided to obtain a mahout from India
He was cabled for, and arrived in due
course. He was taken to the ele.
phant house. He at once entered the
enclosure and formally saluted the
animal, standing first at her heat
and then at her tail. Next he toob
off his shoes, and knotted a rope
loosely round the elephants neck
which he afterward used as a kinc
Of stirrup.
With little difficulty he persuaded
her to kneel and mounted her neck
In less than two minutes, soothing
patting and talking volubly to her ir
HjndustaM, he had got on good terms
with the animal. Then he took hel
round to the elephant ride, and ap.
parently had her in complete control
Phrases of his admonitions, freely
translated, were as follows: 81 an
told that you eat your food. and viii
not work; it is wrong. Allah enjoins
on us all that we must work if we
would eat. You are cheating your
masters, and it is unworthy of you.
am only black man, and you mus
not mind me. Put fear out of yom
mind; take it up from your heart
and throw it out"
The elephant certainly seemed tc
understand, and now obeys every or.
der. The mahout was given quarters
in another part of the gardens, but
he obtained leave to sleep in the ele,
phant house, as he says that ne wish,
ed to talk to the elephant during the
night. He has nto yet tried to sad.
die her, as he wants to take things
slowly, but he is confident he will
conquer all her fears and make hel
permanently obedient.
