ANTI-DISPENSARY WON. Clan Majority Against the System In Kershaw. Camden, June 21.-In thmo dispen eary election hold yesterday fourteen precincts with one more to hear from give a total vote of 550. Of this 322 was against the dispensary and 234 for it, or a majority of 88 against the dispensary. The missing box will pro bably bring the majority against the dispensary up to 100. A vote was also taken on "manufacture" and "no manufacture,'' and the manufacture lost out. also, but up to now the exact figures are not obtainable. In the election every precaution was taken to make it conform strictly to Iaw, and a ele-uier, fairer election was never held in this or any other county. Yet tliere is talk of hunting up somie technical grounds of pro testing it. There is no intimation whatever of 1'raud and whether or not (he dispensary advocates will re sort to this extreme to save it upon techiial rotuds file ne.Xt few days. inay. tell. ELEPHANTS AT WORK.

Macegor & Co., rf . goon, was in the habit of turning on a water tap and hrelpine' himv.lf to a hin d rink, t hioughrl he oul n-er be induced to turn the water off ne'ain. Similar obstinacy and occasionadlly had temper is often shown, and the mahouts are very highly paid, for they live always in the risk that the huge bruites may turn upon them and il them, particularly if the mahout has at any time shown crnelty or un kind ness. A Tinan munuiut wa' emphm~ with a working elephant in Ban'ikok. goad, in defiance of all warnings. The result was that his elephant made frequent attempts to kill him, and finally the man was discharged. Nearly four years afterward, by a most remarkable coincidence, both elephant and mahout met again in Maulmain, Burma, (nd no sooner was the big tusker out of sight of the saw mill and well into the forest, than he curled his trunk up backward, seized his old persecutor by the neck, hurled him to the ground, and in an instant a mighty forefoot had crushed out his life. Each working elephant represents a value of $1,500, and years of ex perience have show& that until quite recently this was the most profitable form of labor that could be employed in the great forests of Burma and Siam. Now, however, highly ingeni :us American, German and British nachinery-chiefly portable railroads %nd engines, cranes, etc., are tak ng the place of the giant workers, nd in another decade the independ )n.t elephant laborer may be entirely xtinet. EAKING USE OF SOLAR HEAT. rime May Come When tne Sun Will Run World's Engines. "Science," said Prof. Huxley, "is 'requently on the brink of some great ruth, but it is left to enance to dis )erse the vapors which obscure it.' low true this is was never so well 'xemplified as at the ouset of the wentieth century, says the Chicago throniele. We are actually hovering In the very margin of the promised ani. so that iany who are not 'wers, n the metaphysical senae. may pierce he mist. Today in Europe and forth America, in chemistry, in bio ogy. in physics. in astronomy, in !ogy, a thousand en,-er brains are it wvork and a number of interesting rohlenis are almost solved. A problem which has been etnagig n t- ' pra01ita! ph,ilosoplirs for ae lat q1ua-rter 0f a cemnTry concerns u 3:i.li1to:: of solar hea.t. Nothing r.O important to the world than he supply of heat for economies and dustrial purposes. Science has learn 'd to prevent the dissipation of cold n1d ice has long been produced with it:e ;r,uble in the heart of the trop es. But the conservation of heat has so rar haffled the inventor, although he ;ees the evil day approaching when it will be of the utmost moment to he inhbita:.ts of this planet. As Ste phenson said, it is really the sun which drives all our engines, though it second hand, for what is coal but ;t.ored sun powerl According to the late Prof Lang (y, from every square yard of earth ?xposed perpendicularly to the sun's rays there could be derived more than ne horse power. Thus in less than he area of Iondon the noo:;tidc heat is sutheient 'n a moderately sunny dayv to driive all the steam engines inl the world. One (of the first to putt this idea to practical test was M. Mouchott. who constructed a soilar engine looking like a gigrantie inverted umbrella. The parabolic reflector concent~rated the heat con a b~oiler in lie focus, and droove a steam enline wvith it. Mr. Ericson invente(d an imnproved form, but the dlifmruity hithe rt'o has been to ethe c(oSt (of utilizine' the heat. '- h. pe . ae day. ' declared Mr. T1>la.

Ror suggeetton For MofteosaInS Week Adopted by Lout1ve club. Who suggested homeoOming week? As the reunion of all Keiktuckians draws nearer and the magnitude of the undertaking becomes more and more apparent, this question Constantly re curs, and the answer is-Migs Loulse Lee Hardin, says the Louisille Cou rier-Journal. Miss Hardin in one of,.gentucky't daughters whose brains and energy have made her one of the most proml. nent elub women in the United States. She is at the head of severalwomen's organizations, is the editor of a pro gressive monthly magazine and is vice president of the Kentucky Society of Denver, which is now her home. It was during the early part of July, 1005, that Miss Hardin, then on a visit Y to Louisville, called up R. E. Hughes, secretary of the Commercial club, and suggested homecoming week. It was her first visit to Kentucky for a long 14 time, and so overjoyed was she to be tU back to her old Kentucky home, so e pleasant did she find the renewal of Its associations, that she could not re- a sist the desire to do something to bring t the other Kentucklans back for a few I1 days at least. When she called up the Commercial club Miss Hardin explained her rea sons for calling Mr. Hughes and asked ' if the Commercial club would not un dertake to arrange a meet of d1istin. 13 guished Kentuckians who had won fame and fortune outside of its bor. I ders. Mr. Hughes suggested that the invitation be more general and, being 6 much impressed with the idea, request ed Miss Hardin to write a letter which could be read to the directors of the club setting forth her plans in order that it might be formally acted upon by a the club. ODD AUTO BED DESIGN. a b Indiana Studfnt Rides on seven Hended, Ten Horned Leopard. In the building of the bed of his au tomobile that Benjamin Lukens of An- I derson, Ind., has brought out for the h season lie cast aside all the customary b styles of the front, end or dashboard of the machine bed and substituted it with a combination animal that he a whittled out after getting the sugges tion from the vision of John on the Isle of Patmos, as told in the thirteenth chapter of Revelations, af follows, says t a vpecial dispatch from Anderson. Ind., to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch: "And I stood upon the sand of the sea and saw a beast rise up out of the e sea having seven heads and ten horns, L and upon his horns ten crowns. and upon his heads the name of Blasphemy. And the beast which I saw was like a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion." Mr. Lukens carved out the wooden form of a leopard and had' It spotted ( leopard fashion. He surmounted it with seven heads of strange anjmal, arranged in a circle. Ten horns act as the back of a chair, and the crowns are on the guard rail of a chair which is intended for Mr. Lukens' dog. ' The new machine is painted a bright yellow except for the combination animal - front, which is in brown, yellow and black. Mr. Lukens is a Bible student of more than local celebrity. EXPERT TO INVESTIGATE.I Scientist Will Observe EarthquakeI Results on Masonry Structures. In order to investigate the effect. of the earthquake shocks in San Francis co on concrete and other structural ma terials, Director C. W. Walcott of the geological survey has ordered R. L. Humphrey, expert in the structural materials testing laboratory of St. Louis, to proceed to California, says the Washington Pdst. Owing to the possibility of similar seismic occurrences in portion~s of the west in which the reclamatIon service is constructing great masonry dams and structures of concrete a careful in vestigation of the effects of the recent earthquake will doubtless afford much valuable information.
