FOUR TUSKERS IN 2 MINUTES.
Swift Reduction of the Elephant
Herds of Lomagundi.
London Chronicle.
The wild elephants of Hhodcsia
arc peculiarly vicious, and owing to
Hie opera! i??: i of extremely stringent
game laws llieir numbers have increascd
to a formidable extent. So
unsafe lias the locality become that
the I arms were becoming depopulated,
settlers and prospectors gave it
a wide berth and the natives are terrorized
because ol several men being
killed and crops destroyed, especially
in the district of rjomaguudi.
A missionary, the liev. W. T.
(Iraniham. uuidc repeated appeals to
the S-uit h African rlovcrumcul l'< > i
some relaxation of |hc game laws,
and ilow the announcement i> olliciallv
made liiat ''His Honor the
Adminisl rat or authorizes the destruction
o| elephants in the Lomagundi
district."
Writing home to Lancaster, Mr.
( ranlham speaks of the influx ol
'big ^aiiic" sportsmen into the district
and describes an experience of
three Dutchmen while elephant
shooting: ''At !) a. *i. they came on
a troop of seven elephants and killed
one bull. They followed on the
spoor ol the others and at 'J.'50 came
up with them about seven miles east
111 ui v station. |5v this time o| her i
elephants had .joined up. and they
numhered about eighteen. The hunters
fired and the bull dropped.
"'The remaining elephants spread
themselves out and completely surrounded
the men on a small ant heap.
To run away was impossible, so they
sat tight, kept their nerve and shot
straight, with the result that in two
minutes they had killed four elephant
within a r::dius of from twenty
l" f i ft \ yards. The oilers then
made oil', live having been killed, and
all of tlieiu tuskers. 1 went out to!
the scene of the fray, and an interesting
sight il was. Hundreds of natives,
male and female, had congregated
there, and by iiopii nevl day
dozens of fires were drviug Ions < I

GUARDING PAPER MONEY.
Checks Against Theft of Currency
While in the Process of
Printing.
Chicago Hecord-1 lerald.
The paper money of the government
is brought in tronbound chests,
locked and sealed, from the Itureau
of Kngraving and Printing to the
cash room of the Ticasury and (here
delivered upon receipts to .lames A.
Sample, chief of the division of issue,
in sheets of lour bills each.
They are complete with signature
ami numbers, except for the seal,
which is printed u),-n litem with
power presses in a small apartment
under the cash room.
These presses are worked by two
people, usually a man pressman and
a woman feeder, or .issrslant. When
the seal has been imprinted upon the
bills they are counted automatically,
bound in packages of equal numbers
In hands of paper, marked, signed bv
the persons who have handled them,
and passed into the adjoining room,
where the sheets are cut, the bills
are recounted and inspected, so that i
the imperfect ones may be thrown
onl. They are I In n bound into )
packages of equal amounts and taken I
to the drving' vault, where they lie.
upon the shelves for several weeks,
until the ink has become perfectly
(h'v; * .
( .very safeguard that ingenuity
can contrive is placed around these
transact ions, and the chief of division
can (ell which of his hundred or
more subordinates luve touched the
dilVerent bills in the vaults'. lie
knows w ho received I hem. w ho printed
the seal, who wrapped and cut
them: for every package is numbered
and its history is recorded in an
enormous book.
The combination of checks is so
complete that Mr. Sample would
know within twenty minutes if a single
bill were missing, but lie has never
had occasion to lest his knowledge
except twice within fifteen years.
Only two attempts have ever been
made to steal the money of the government
while it is in this stage of its
history.
On one occasion many years ago a
pressman passing a pile of notes upon
the table of his neighbor slipped the
top sheet under his blouse without
being observed and carried it with
him into the lavatory, where he was
successful in concealing it. The theft
wtts discovered witnvn five minutes
and it was clearly apparent that he
alone could be guilty, although the
evidence was purely circumstantial.
No one saw him lake lite money.
Therefore he was not arrested and
was never publicly charged with the
crime. Hut he was dismissed from
I .
the .-ervice and Ik.- knew the reaso
why. The hills were never recover
e<l. lie probably destroyed them, a
they did not appear in circulation.
On another occasion eight or tei
years ago a colored messenger whos
business was to haul the money abou
"U a cart slipped a loose sheet inf<
his pocket unobserved while passing
I).-I ween the printing and the counting
rooms. This theft was also unseen
but the responsibility was fastene*
upon him. The pile of notes \va
complete when it left the printer, fo
it w;is ciHinled and registered auto
mntiraliy in the press. When i
reached the colliding room one shec
was missing and the package had no
been <>wt <d' the possession of the eol
j <?red messenger in the nieanliiuc
j I'henToie lie alone was responsible
i him! "as he could not idler any satis

missed from the service hut was no
jiroseeuled because there was no di
reel proof of his guilt.

What use is a balloon to railway
carriage? Few of the latter are so ^
lilted, bill there is as least one run- ,
ning on a mountain railway near Sal/.- '
berg, which lias a fallon attached to it ]
in order to assist it up the steepest
portions of (he line. At the summit ?
a tank below the car is filled wit 1 *
' water sulTcient to counteract the up
I ward pull of the gas bag, which the
vahicle thus drags dnwn with it upon
I the return journey.
( There is only one car in the world
j with a window fillet* as a royal autograph
album. It is a somewhat aneient
railway saloon used in Deumark
for the conveyance of royal visitors.
It Iijis become the custom for
these to scratch their names on one
<>t its panes, which now shows the "
autographs of King Edward and
t^ueen Alexandra among others, ineluding
those of the late Czar, the
late king of Denmark, t he lute Duke
j of Clarence and man * of iters.
Another uniquely fitted railway
carriage is (hat comarniug the vesti,
