Elephant Hunter In the Far East This is how elephants are hunted in Ceylon The people begin by clearing an open space near a forest part of which is strongly fenced in with trunks of trees with open places for doors Then the elephants are found and with I blazing torches rattling of noisy in struments and spears are driven to ward tho open doors At last with a rush the great herd enters the entrances are barred and the poor giants of the wood find them selves hopelessly imprisoned An ele phants rage is dreadful to witness but the ingenuity of man has found a way of subduing it One by one each pris oner is freed again and tame ele phants remarkable for their sagacity come up to him stroke him with their trunks and otherwise cajole him until they lead him on to a good strong tree The natives creep up behind and in a minute the elephant is made fast to the tree by his leg All the timo this is going on the tame elephants are humoring their deluded victim but as soon as he is secured they go away and leave him Then the men bring him coeoanuts and leaves to eat which of course he re fuses as he Is again in a great passion and struggling to be free But hunger subdues oven the fiercest and at last his wild roaring ceases and he eats From that time the taming process is comparatively easy Again and again he is fed as he requires it by a kind hand and the elephant sus ceptible to kindness becomes at Inst a docile servant of the man White Ants of Africa Natives of the east coast of Africa do not object to the presence of the great white ant colonies in their neigh borhood The ants exercise great fer tilizing power on the crops A resi dent of that country writes Every season I have seen the wonderful ef fects the white ant hill produces on the Kaffirs maize and corn Whenever there happens to be an ant hill in a gar den its immediate vicinity can be at once distinguished as the maize and corn are fully double the size of the surrounding crop The bush country a few miles from this place is swarm ing with white ants and has also a large native population The ants do not attack green crops to any extent A Taste For Dosrs Mark Twain was once talking of war and of the hardships and privations of sieges A Frenchman he said called one day on a woman who had two dogs They were ugly little brutes and when they came near him the man pushed them out of the way with his foot I perceive sir said the woman coldly that you are not very fond of dogs The man started in surprise I not fond of dogs he exclaimed Why madam I ate more than twenty of them during the siege of Paris A Patient Man The endurance of the music lover who sits out one of Wagners long Ring operas has often been commented upon but perhaps not more forcibly than In London Well up abovo the
