Testing Grains.

varieties Of grain are
known to resist the attacks of
insects and plant-disease much bet
ter than others. This is thought to
be due to greater hardness BY IN
instrument invented by Stranak of
Prague. the Investigator is able, to
determine the density and toughness
Of hber and cell structure-in other
words. the hardness-of any grain.
The instrument consists Of a tiny
car that runs on inclined rails. A
kernel Of the grain to be tested is
placed in this car and hne-toothed
saw attached to q hinged overhead
bracket is brought down upon it.
Small weights are placed in . tray
1T the end OF Z cord attached to the
car. The relative hardness OF the
grain is determined by the weight
required to move the car against the
resistance OF the s4W. This simple
instrument has proved useful at
agricultural experiment stations

Elephants Mind.

Of all the dangerous animals ever
captured when fully grown the In
dian elephant is one Of the wisest. 1t
is the only one which promptly learns
that mans mind is superior to brute
force and that it pays to be good.
lion. tiger, bear. elk or monkey
captured when an adult will try to
nght its way to freedom. 1t never
knows when 1t is beaten and con-
tinues to attempt to break its bonds
until usually it dies Of broken bones
or broken heart
The Indian elephant is not only
one Of the best original thinkers,
but has also the best memory. A
particularly clever chimpanzee can
remember as many different things
as an elephant. but out of the whole
number of captive chimpanzees there
may be only one Of this sort. while
every Indian elephant captured is
capable OF learning.
The mentality Of elephants is best
shown in the circus ring. The whole
performance of these trick animals
depends upon the ear. eye and MEM
ory. 1t is only an exceptional lion,
horse or dog that reaches the exhi-
bition platform, but every elephant
has the making Of 4 star. Twenty
elephants may go through a military
drill and perform the series Of antics,
such as fall in" roll call" and sew
eral kinds of marching, with never
an error in the bunch. 1t is possible
for Indian elephants to go through
as many as thirty-three acts in the
remember and do perfectly.
Elephants are also different from
other animals in that they can be
trained to push as we'll as pull.
In the timber camps Of southern
India every elephant is trained to do
at least sixteen things in the routine
of work which he must perform by
In their work they some
times show greater intelligence than
human beings.

Ire department does not consider the

serious at this time to suspend the

the rank of ensign must be required
10 perform the duties of lieutenants
and lleutenants of the junior grade
until the number of officers in those
ranks has increased sufficiently to
meet the demands. Due to the fact
tnat there are larger number of
experienced line officers serving on
the battleships. the department must
depend upon these ships to provide
the greater part of the sea training
of inexperienced officers. The bureau
will require of the battleships to
train an excessive number of ensigns

to be assigned to other duty.

MEYER DAVIS. head of an organi-
zation of 81 orchestras and 700
musicians, whose music is familiar to
millions of radio fans, says that the
word Jazz" does not represent a true
description of modern music for
dance or song, and he offers a prize of

Mr.. Davis states that the dance music
demanded today is far removed from
the style of a few years ago, when
the wheeze and shrill of the clarinet,
the blare of the trumpet and the
banging of the drums pleased the
majority of people who became dance
enthusiasts for the first time. This
taste. has improved to a remarkable
degree, and dance music has become
better accordingly. But we~still call
it Jazz"
