East African Elephant
Herds Growing Larger

The elephant Is very useful ami
NAL both for draft purposes and for
ivory. A few years ago 10000 were
slaughtered annually for their tusks,
so that 1t seemed as though there was
a good chance Of the big animals be.
coming extinct. Wise laws, however,
have checked the destruction 30 that
the number is increasing. The war
gave the elephants their chance and
the British authorities in East Africa
have also protected them. South of
zambesi the elephant is virtually ex-
tinct and the Cape market for ivory
has ceased to exist.
At present Mozambique is the cen
ter Of the ivory trade. Oddly enough,
the Portuguese, through whose hands
1t comes, send nearly all the ivory
across to Bombay, where 1t is sorted
and cut and dispatched to the Euro
pean markets. The worlds supply of
real elephant ivory is now about $50
tons a year.-Scientific American.
The Glenwood post., 1924-05-22
Burns

It is not the men of letters who
have handled Burns with the surest
touch. Men to whom letters mean
little or nothing are quicker to under
stand him. The fact is that Burns Is
everyman. This wonderful in
stinct for truth and frankness Is the
secret of his genius and of his style.
Perhaps 1t is the secret of all great
style. No sermon worth so
much as a tallow dip has ever been
preached on the life of Burns, but the
mere story of his life is an enthralling
drama. 1t is true that at Ellis
land and Dumfries he wrote not few
of his finest songs, and that Tam o.
Shanter," in many ways the strongest
and maturest of all his works, belongs
to his closing years. -. In 'Tam
o. Shanter," especially. he. surpasses
himself; no masterpiece of narrative
so concise, so various, SO telling, is
to be found even In Chaucer. Is 1t not
a strange thing that the king of poetic
story-tellers told only one story y?-Sir
Walter Raleigh.
