Elephants Have Dance

From the Adventure Magazine
Scientists, who have pushed far into
the forest country of Africa where the
herds of wild elephants live, unite in
the statement that elephants have
dancing floors and outdoor bathrooms
where the terpsichorean festivities Of
the great beasts take place. In fact
that prominent authority, Mai. Cuth-
bert Cristy. says he has watched the
elephants doing their moonlight
dances, has visited and inspected the
forest bathrooms. and he makes the
astounding statement that the dances
take place while the elephants are
sound asleep, the members of the herd
moving through the dances in perfect
time and unison, Tapping their ears.
swinging their trunks. doing their
steps to and fro, indicative of anything
save restful Slumber.
The movement Of ears. tail and
trunk, the swaying movement Of the
body during sleep, he says, are the re-
suit Of the fight the elephants are
forced to make TO prevent the forest
flies annoying them when they take
the midday siestas. the daylight sleep
habit being continued when the mid
night sleep takes place. at which time
the movements are developed into q
great dance of the ponderous beasts.

ANOTHER DREAM SHATTERED

The dream of an Arctic continent has been shattered. At least Amundsen assures the world that his observations have noth- ing but a waste of frozen waters between the pole and Alaska. His report seems to dispose of a theory at least, if not of be- lief.
 Ever since the discovery of gold in Alaska especially in the beds of rivers emptying in the Arctic Ocean, there has been hope that in some unknown land to the north there might be found the worlds richest depos- it's. If mineral resources should be lacking in this land, it was confidently expected that it would be rich in fur yield, especially III those furs that must be found in the coldest regions. In either event there were visions of wealth on the part of those who hoped that an unknown continent might be found.
 But like many nice laid plans of mice and men this scheme of wealth vanishes. There seems to be no possible invitation to the ad- venturer, the prospector, or the trapper, to go farther northward. When they come to the shores of Alaska they come to the end of the world.
