Bombay. - Several persons were
trampled upon and seriously injured
recently when young male elephant
ran amuck for half an hour at Alfalfa
bad during the Kumbh Mela religious
festival.
Two million pilgrims were packed
along the wayside reciting prayers
while a procession including nine ele-
plants was returning from the river
bank with all the customary pagean-
try of gorgeous banners, musical
bands, naked attendants, and the gold
and silver palanquins borne on the
shoulders of the men, generally asso-
ciated with religious festivals here,
when the young elephant, apparently
peeved at the slow progress of the
procession, made a sudden rush at
female elephant Immediately In front
and gored it savagely.
The suddenness of the attack re-
suited in the driver and passenger be-
ing flung off the attacked animal,
which trumpeted shrilly with rage
and pain. The crazed attacker then
turned it's attention to the other beasts,
trumpeted, threw out its hind legs, and
finally unseated its rider.

This is the weird news brought here
by Philip Lindsay, British mission

The Tristan da Cunhas are in the
South Atlantic, just north of the ex-
IRENE limit of floating ice, and about
midway between Buenos Aires and

Elephant Breaks Up Hindu Prayer

In the belief that an elephant can
be subdued in even its widest mood
If a camel bites its ear, some venture
some spirits drove q camel toward the
beast, which in consequence dashed
off and plunged at great speed into
the crowd, scattering them right and
left. Panic Immediately followed, and
men, women and children screamed
and fought madly in their efforts to
escape from. the path of the Infatuated
animal.
Luckily, the courage and resource
of Captain Niblett, magistrate, and
Mr.. Cole, a police officer, saved what
would undoubtedly have been a much
worse disaster.
Captain Niblett procured two tame
elephants and set out to capture the
escaped beast, which was now racing
rapidly toward the river, while Cole
galloped ahead on horseback, warning
the crowd.
The huge four-footed pachyderm
plunged pell-mell through an encamp-
ment of pilgrims by the river bank
and crashed through a number of low
huts constructed of thatch and bam-
boo, which gave way before the mon
ster like match boxes. Inside almost
every hut fires were left burning, and
in consequence the wretched dwellings
quickly became a series of blazing
bonfires.

deeply into the lungs after a rain. I
can work with more enthusiasm, with
more concentration and with more
energy during a rain. When the rain
is falling outside it gives opportunity
to finish the uncompleted task; to set
tie down to something that has been
waiting for attention for days or
weeks.
When was a boy on the farm a
rainy day was period to be looked
forward to. Before the hard work Of
farm life had fastened itself upon
me, rainy day was play day. We
cut all sorts Of capers in the hay
loft as the rain battered down upon
the roof above us; or we went fish
ing. 1t was thought that the fish
would bite more ravenously upon a
rainy day. 1t may have been, but any
way it was rare sport to sit upon the
bank of the creek all huddled up and
watch the corks on our fishing lines
bobbing up and down.
I have always liked to read, and as
I look back upon the years that have
passed it seems to me that much of
the reading that l have done since the
time 1 was ten years old has been
done while the rain was coming down
outside and other tasks for the time
being set aside.
No! l like sunshine and I take
pleasure in clear weather, but I don't
want to live where it doesn't rain.
Absence of rain would take away half
tine pleasure of life.

would get much less of "ride"

A circle at the pole might be
only a foot in circumference,
