Homesick Elephant.

An elephant in the London ZOOlogi-
cal garden some time ago went on
strike and refused to perform her usu-
al work of carrying children about the
place. Some new riding steps," which
were made use of by the little passen-
gers to reach the back of the elephant,
were replaced by new ones and
when she was led to it for the first
time she refused to enter it was
thought that she might be making a
protest against the removal of the old
steps and so these were put in their
old place, but still she refused to en-
ter. Soon after this she refused to
leave the pen. All other efforts hav-
ing failed to induce her to be good, it
was decided to send to India for ma
hout and he arrived recently. After
talking to her soOthingly in his native
language, and you mi ght say hers also,
she allowed him to put rope around
her neck which he used as a stirrup
and with this he climbed up on her
head and led her through her usual
stunts. The animal was presented to
the garden by the maharajah of Cooch
Behar, and was evidently homesick.

HEAT IN EARTH'S INTERIOR
Official of United States Geological
Survey Has Come Forward With
Some New Facts.

Long-established theories regarding
the intense heat in the earths interior
may have to be revised, if the incon
elusive evidence adduced by tempera-
ture tests in 1O7 deep wells in this
country by DR.. G. e. Van Orstrand OF
the United States geological survey
should be confirmed by further inVes-
tigation. According to this expert.
the steady increase in temperature, so
great that a miner could not live at
a depth of one mile, appears to be less
rapid little beyond that depth.
Combined with the fact that mathe-
maticans have not yet found the law
of distribution Of temperature from
the surface to the center of the earth,
this makes uncertain the estimate
of some scientists that the heat at the
center is as high as 10000 degrees
Fahrenheit Observations at depth
of about 1900 feet have been taken.
but Doctor Van Orstrand has not
been able to carry his investigations
further.

The Mockinq Bird.

No two hooking bird families can
occupy the same tree or husband
there are some lively scraps before
their territorial boundaries are estab-
lished; but once settled, their peace
treaty is faithfully kept. The mock
ing bird never forgets that he is a
star in the musical world. He will
help pick cut the building place and
lay the foundation OF the nest; then
he suddenly seems to make up his
mind that he is a poor architect, but a
fine musician, and abandons house
building for the business Of singing for
his own little world.

Honor American Aviators.

Of the 63 will have his place. Either
his body will be removed from other
resting places or, if not. his name will
be inscribed appropriately on the

rial is regarded as unique. Instead of
the conventional shaft, or massive
structure, the garden has been de-
signed by NJ. Alexandra Marcel, chief
architect of the French government.

HUMBLE WORK IS RESUMED
New York "Bimi" Reported to Have
Gone Back to Occupation
That Pays Little.

In all New York the "bimi' has
doubtless the humblest profession.
Without capital or skill, he has long
followed his career with more or less
profit. Years ago, he was a familiar
character throughout the city, but the
war drove him from his accustomed
haunts. With the increase in build
ing activities throughout New York he
is once more appearing in considerable
numbers.
The "bimi," it may be necessary to
explain to newcomers to the city, is
usually a tramp or some one reduced
to want, who collects wood from new
building enterprises or from buildings
being demolished, and prepares and
sells bundles of fire wood. The pro-
fession requires no capital or skill, nor
indeed any tools. The wood is usually
broken by the simple expedient OF
smashing it to pieces with paving
stone.
ANY "bimi" who would save from
his income and purchase modern tool,
like a Ratchet or axe, could greatly
increase his output, but such efficiency
is not expected of the tribe of "bimies."
Hundreds of these men could be seen
in vacant lots in past years, laboriously
and clumsily breaking up cast off tim
Der. His product found a ready sale.
The price by common consent for
bundle of such kindling in the past was
10 cents, no more or less. Since the
war the income of the "bimi," like that
of so many other workers, had taken
jump. The same product today COM
mands a price of 20 cents.

Corn More Valuable Than Currency

Boxes of American grits are pass
ing as currency in Georgia, Armenia,
Azerbaijan and the Russia of the eau
casus. The laborers of these coun-
tries will not take a job to be paid in

them are laboring earnestly on road
building, farming and sanitation for
two and half pounds of grits a week.
This is said to be worth more than q
