I N the East Indies, where tame ele phants are classed as intelligent machines and are invaluable ad juncts to civil engineering and [transportation, a “rogue” elephant is las much dreaded as an outbreak ot 'cholera, a tornado, or a man-eating tiger. Its very sagacity makes it all the more dangerons, and once started on a career oi destructien and life taking its methods appear cynical in their pertinacity and ingenuity. Of each “rogues ’ there are tbs trtldbeast excluded from communion' with its fellows and the domesticated animal in the condition of “must.” The lat ter is more dangerons than the other becansa its spell of blind fury gener ally begins in densely populated neigh borhoods. East Indian official statistics, how- lever, prove that, as a rule, where one person is killed by an eleghant nearly forty are destroyed by tigers, leopards, bears, wolves and hyenas. Excep tions alter these data. In one instance a tame elephant which had been docile for years became demoniacal and tore •sway trumpeting to the woods. Be fore it was killed it had ravaged a com munity and killed thirty-live persons. In India the condition known as “ranst,” which istsynonyinous with madness, is heralded by nn exudation on the foreheal of the bull elephant and swelling of the temples. Snch an animal in captivity is shackled, and caution is observed in approaching it. Occasionally elephants with chronic bad tempers are found, but they should not bo classed with those who are periodically dangerous, like Tip, or the wild outcasts which are also known as “solitaries.” A typical “rogue” ran anane’e neat Jnbbalpora in 1875, and is spoken of as a man eater, be- canse in killing some of its victims it took them in its month and tore them to pieces. ■Many oi tho “rogue” elephant stories from Asia are based on the doings of either ostracised beasts or those who escaped from captivity, who in haunting agricultural neigh borhoods to feed on crops devastated plantations and killed people who came in their way. One which wan dered in the Doon district for fifteen years, and destroyed rioo fluids and killed many persons, was the prop erty of the Government, and never rid itself of a-chain which it carried away whsn it escape l. Its presence near the village was known by the clank of the broken fetters. All sneb marauding brutes are simply preda tory and vicious, sleeping in the jun gle during the day and traveling at night. They are not “rogues” proper, or elephants suffering from periodical fury. I Cruelty sometimes makes “rogues” of elephants. In 1883, while an ele phant was being ridden by its keeper in the district of Sultanpore, in Oade, the animal resented prodding with a •pear by palling the man from his back and throwing him some distance away. Fortunately the man fell in a hollow and remained there undiscov ered by the elephant, who' went to a neighboring village. There he chased an old man into a house, then broke d&wn the walls, pulled the man out, and dashed him to pieces. The same night the elephant knocked down several houses inquest at human beings in the villages of Bar dap nr, Baragon an l Jaisingpnr. He killed six men in Bersoma, three in Bora, four in Gangc, and four in Mar.lan. He likewise killed a bnlloek and a pony, ap 1 also completely de stroyed a new carriage. Tne animal used to stan l at the door of • house, force his entry by demolishing the walls on either side, an l would then kill as many of the inmates as he could, pursuing those who tried to run away. He mangle ’. his corpses terribly. After securing a victim he some times returned to the spot to see if life were extinct, and would commence mutilating the body afresh. He car ried several bodies long distances and threw them into ravine’, etc. The el ephant found his way into the delira rajah’s palace, where he tried to enter the honse of a gardener, but tome men, mounted on three elephants, as- s'sted by a spearsman, drove him off. He then returned to Bebipur, where he tried to break down his master’s honse, in which several persons had taken refuge. The police got into the honse from a back window and were obliged to send for help to the dehra rajah, who sent three elephants and some ape '.rumen. The animal re ceived two gunshots on the hea l at Bebipur, which, however, only tem porarily drove him off. He was ul timately captured at imminent risk by the rajah’s three elephants and men. Many panias have hern cance l in America by enraged elephants. Bar- nnm’s circus had been exhibiting at Troy, N. Y., and preparations were making to leave. The elephants’ at tendants had started to condnot Em peror and Jumbo to the railroad yard. Emperor became rebellions and re fused to advance. He was probably goaded to anger, as he suddenly be came a “rogue” and dashed away. On reaching the foundry of Erastns Corn ing Emperor rushed in and trampled in the foundry pits full of red-hot coal and molten iron. The beast was frightfully burned, and vented its rage in fierce cries, bat it left the laundry, and, rushing through the streets, knocked down many persons and seized others with its trunk and threw them to the ground. One man's thigh was broken, another was thrown twenty feet in the air and dangerously injured, and a woman was flung to the street from a stoop. Emperor's tan trums resulted in the destruction ol property worth $4000. There have been many keepers killed among circus elephants. Chief, owned by Robinson, killed its keeper at Charlotte, N.- C., by hurling him against the wall of a special car, ig tho sight, of many persons. Borneo, oao'of Forepaugh’s hard, when it died in Chica o, in 1872, had kille 1 three keepers and destroyed $50,000 worth of property. Barnam’s Albert killed its keeper at Keene, N. F. Sentence of death was passed by r. dram-head Court-and the beast or as A* marched, shackled, to the woods. Its trainer marked on its hide the position of the heart, and at a signal the com pany of riflemen fired, and the animal paid the penalty of its viciotunesa. MULKtT »urrmra« Spiders are never idle. China raises almost all the world'e tea. The world’s tunnels stretch S14 miles. The first Welsh Bible was published in 1588. The new American street letter boxes are about to be adopted in Lon don. Horseshoes have been found in tombs that date back to the sixth cen tury. Electric lights were placed on the Thames embankment, London, in 1879. Bichinond, Va., is the cockade city. Richmond, Ind., is the qnaker city oi the West. The first known sculpture and paintings were made m Egypt 2100 years B. C. The French have introdneed coffee culture in Tonqnin with good pros pects of success. An elephant is fifty to sixty years in attaining maturity, and will live a century and a half. Several of the South Sea Islands have a species of mulberry tree from which cloth is mado. It is estimated that one of the lar gest stones in the Pyramids weighs fnlly eighty-eight tons. In 1879 a committee of the British Parliament reported unfavorably on electric light fur towns. A Hungarian inventor claims to be able to make from wood pulp a fabric suitable for durable clothing. British coach and carriage builders import from America their ohoioest spokes, hubs an 1 ribs for wheel manu facture. A fish caught ani thrown on the bank will rarely fail, when endeavor ing to escape, to jump in the direction of the water. Nearly all the Belgian blocks use! for paving in cities in the United States coma from Sto.na Mountain, Georgia, a solid mass of granite which still contains billions of cubic feet of stone and is practically inex haustible. There is now living in Detroit, Mich., a retired burglar who was well known to ths police of two continents twenty years ago. He has Uaen au honest man for that length of tims. His fortune, gaina l entirely by steal ing, is estimate 1 to be $103,099. At a cost of $12,590,003 Manches ter, England, is just completing a sys tem of water supply by which Thier- mere, one of the English lakes in Cumberland County, ninety-five miles away, has been dammed ani water supplied to the city of the best quali ty in quantities sufficient for all prob able needs. Science Sinks a Hvc. A number of the piers of the fins new bridge at Omaha, Neb., rest on piles which were sank by the water jet process. The piles were seventy feet long and from sixteen to twenty- four inches in diameter. They were first lifted into a vertical position, di rectly over the place where they were to be sunk, by means of a square framework, eighty feet high, resting on the ice. In a shed at the base oi this scaffolding was a winding engine, boiler and pumps, tho latter made especially for this work. After a pile had boon lifted os mentioned, a 2} inch iron pipe was placed on each side of it and connected at the patnps by nieans o( a hose. These pipes carved under the lower end of the pile and were lowered with it. The material to bo penetrated consisted of fifty feet of sand, silt and pookeis of gravel and clay. When the piles were low ered tho pipes sank with it, and as water was constantly being pumped out of their lower ends, a hole was washed in the earth in this mannoz, into which tho pile settled easily as s rule, but few light blows of the ham mer on its top being required. Where stiff material was enoonntered the pile was drawn up several feet, the pump vanning all the time, and then lowered again. Two or three repetitions of thisoperation generally penetrated tho hardest material. The best results were obtained by palling up the pile, giving tho water full pressure and not allowing tho pile to sink too fast. When no hurd material was encount ered the fifty feet would be pene trated in from four to six minutes, and when the pile had to be pulled up eight minutes was the average time. After it was in position the iron pipes were pulled up and the scaffolding moved along to tha next point where s pile was needed, tho weight ol the entire apparatus moved being about 60,000 pounds.—New York Advertiser. The Cloth Cannot be Sewed. The bullet-proof cloth invented by Dowe, the German tailor, about which so muoh has been said recently, seems to be of very doubtful value, after all. It is said that it simply cannot be used as wearing apparel, as its thickness and composition forbid its being cut, or shaped, or sewed, os is necessary in the manufacture of clothing. Every one who has thought of the bullet proof cloth Las associated it with something a man could put on when he went into battle and take off when he left the field. It apperrs that the material must be carried in the knap sack or in the blanket roll, and wound around the body where protection is needed. Perhaps, after all, the “cloth” will be found more useful for shields and torpedo nets than as a species of armor for the soldier. The material is said to be about half au inch thick, and not flexible. One ob server, who has reported to the wsr department on the stuff, describes it as a wire netting, incased in what ap pears to bo a cement substance. Tha “coat,” or garment, which was re cently used in experiment abroad, weighed about six pounds, and costs about fifty cents a pound to manu facture.—New Orleans Picayune. A Land ol Samples, The first impression of the Bermuda Islands to one expecting a semitrop- ical appearance is disappointing on account of the cedar. This is the pre vailing tree; indeed, all the islands are covered with this scraggy foliage. The trees for the most part are small, and suggest to us a Northern latitude and a poor soil. It is true that they are Southeru cedars, which originally drifted over from Florida, and some people might try to call them cypress, and give them a botanical juniper fla vor ; but to us they are Northern, and in such contrast to the cerulean waters and soft blue skies and genial atmos phere that wc nro not easily recon ciled to them. Yet they are the only thing that seems to be native to the land. Every other tree and shrub has an exotic appearance—even the man groves, which grow in tho salt marshes, putting down their branches and drop ping their long seeds, loaded at one end, into tho slime, and creating an impenetrable thicket, and finally land. It is, indeed, called the continent maker. Palms grow hero of several sorts—sago, palmetto, cabbage and date—bnt they ore little more than specimens. Tho bananas of small and fairly good variety flourish,bat notin quantities sufficient to supply the wants of tho islands. Tho oranges and lemons have succumbed to the scale, nud the few other semitropical fruits arc of no consequence. The islands are at times brilliant with vaiions flowers, but not in tho vigor or pro fusion of Southern California. Very line, indeed, are the great fields of lilies in bloom (the export of the bulbs is one of the industries of the islands), nnd occasionally great fields of scarlet amaryllis excite the imagi nation like n compact regiment of red coats. Brilliant alsi aro tho tall hedges of scarlet hibiscus, nnd every where tho oleander grows wild in pro fusion. Much viore might be made out of the islands in the way of gar dens and small fruits if there were more good farmers and horticulturists nnd more enterprise; bnt Bermuda is a sort of child of tho sea, and looks beyond the horizon for help. Upon many things there is a sort of blight, at least periodic, and it has even fallen upon tho pungent onion and the po tato, so that the anxiety of a short crop in these great staples is added to the worry about the American turifil —Harper's Magazine. The Chinese Pink. The Chinese pink was first sent from China to Paris by missionaries in 1805. The double ones were first noted among seedlings in 1719 inPsris gardens. Of late years the improve ment has been rapid, and to-day there are few more satisfactory or beantiful plants in garden.borders than the im proved China pinks.—New York Ob server.

It !• the province of newspapers to wntc for strange events or pheno nan t of nay kin and to immediately Investigate a report* case out of the line of regular commun'i happenings. So when the story ol M George Hutchinson, of Chelsea, Vt., at how he had been raised from a bo t whore 1 lay stricken with a supposedly iucnrable ,11 ease was told, the Argus awl Patriot d tailed a reporter to look up the report* facts of fhe case, to whom Mr Hufchlnsc made the following statement. “I am a native of Massachusetts, a woo worker by trade, and forty yearn ot age, an for the past fifteen years have been workli In various sawmills in Vermont and Mass cbunetls. Eight years ago I move! fro Bradford <o Chelsea and bought the sawml of which I am now proprietor. I was In pe feet health and knows throughout Chela* snd vicinity as one of the strongest men < my weight in that section.

After that, I b gan slowly to lose my strength and beean Incapacitated for work or effort of anv kin- The seat of my trouble seemed to be it back, but it gradually extended downwnr I consulted all the local physicians and wi treated by two of them, but the medicin they administered were not of the sllghtei avail and did not cheek the disease in til east. In fact, I was a miserable victim < locomotor ataxia and was conscious of steady advance of the Insidious disease. M back ached continually and my legs bega to grow numb and to be lees nnd less usabl By the 15th of April I could absolutely * nothing and was seracely able to stand. H physicians advised me to go to the Mai Fletcher Hospital, at Burlington, to I treated, nnd I took their advice. When left home my friends bade mo good-by never expecting to see me alive again. Tl physicians at the bospitat told me that n caae was a serious one, and I was complet ly discouraged. 1 remained at the hospit seven weeks end took the medicines whk the dootors gave me. I felt better at the bo pltal and thought that I was recovering, at went home to continue their treatmen which I did for two months, and also had « electric battery under their advice. The li prevement. however, did not continue, or I began to give up hope. August Irt, 1898, could not get out of my obair without a distance, nnd if I got down upon the floor could not get up alone. About this time chanced to read an account of the wonderfi curative powers of Dr. Williams’ Pink Ml for Pale People in oaaes similar to my owi I did not have any faith in the Pills bi thought a trial could do no harm, so bought some withont telling anyone what waa going to do. After I had been takln them some time I surprised myself by ge ting out of my chaif without assistance, an found that, lor the flrst time In months was ableSo walk down to the postofflee, an my neighbors began to discuss the marks Improvement in my health. As I continue the me<Jlolne I continued to Improve, an soon recommenced work In the mill, at fln very lightly, snd Increasing as I waa ah snd at I gained in health an4 spirits, an now for the past three months I have bee working ten hours perday almost as steac lly as I ever did. I feel well, eat well an sleep as well as I ever did, and I have a pain anywhere.” The reporter talked with several clh* gentlemen In regard to the ease of Mi Hutchinson, who Is swell known citizen c Chelsea and a Justice of the Peace, and the corroborated his statemenU as far as the were familiar with the case and stated tha he was known to be a reliable man, and an statement he might make would be entitle to entire credence. m An analysis of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pill shows that they are an unfailing specific fo such diseases as locomotor ataxia, partis paralysis, St. Vitus' dance, sciatica, neural gin, rheumatism, nervous headache, theaf ter effects of la grippe, palpitation c' iallo r ~ * * heart, pale oud bh How * complexions forms of weakness either in male or fei Pink Pills are sold by all dealers, or wl sent post paid on receipt of price, (50 a box or 6 boxes for »2.50—they are i sold In bulk or bv the 100) by addressini Williams’ Medicine Company, Schenec N.

There is no country in the World that pays so much attention td the science of forestry as Frahoe, and A tribute to its pre-eminenoe in this par ticular has long been paid to it by tha Anglo-Indian Government, which has for many years maintained a branch of its crown college of forestry at Nancy. The French Ministry has for a long time paid pnrtionlar attention to the prevention of destructive forest fires which annually destroy hundreds of thousands of trees, has now decided to inaugurate a series of iaelation zones. These spaces are to be traced out so as to go through the moisest ground, and at every pond there will be a tower reservoir with fire engines and long hose. The once bare heath, or “landes,” of Gascony, covering an area of 1,500,000 acres, isnow covered with a dense forest of pine and cork trees planted by the State. Another tneasuse in this direction annonnoed by the Government is the proclama tion that a premium of ten centimes will be paid to each person who brings a kilogram of cockchafers, which do so much damage to the trees. Notices to this effect have been printed and posted in every commune and village throughout the country. The humor of the announcement lies in tho fact that the average number of cockchafers to a kilogram is 1162, which enables one to appreciate to the fullest extent tho munificence of -the Government and the valne of cockchafer hunting, at tho rata of one cent for every 600 insects, as a means of livelihood.— Fioavnne. The O’lrl ol Sixteen. We saw a girl on the streets to-day, niul for a moment wondered why her dress fit her bo perfectly, and why she was so bright and pretty, why her hangs were curled just right, and why she was altogether about the prettiest thing on earth. Then it suddenly oc curred to us that it was because she was sixteen years old. There never was a girl of sixteen that was not pretty; there never was a dress that would not look well on a girl of six teen. Although the dogs may bark at a woman when she is twenty-five or thirty, she was pretty at sixteen.— Atchison Globe. It is calculated that with every 1200- pound steer there arc 339 pounds ol waste.
