MADE LABOR FOR ENGINEERS
Elephants and White Ants Played
Havoc with Poles and Wires
Along Line in India.
Some American engineers, in eon
| struct ing n power-transmission line
! in Inii'j, had several things to eon*
j sider and avoid that had never eon
i fronted them before, perhaps. The
| line, which was nearly a hundred
miles in length, was carried on tall
poles through the jungle, and in 1*011
strueting it the ravages of white ants
and the playful pranks of wild ele
phants had to he provided against.
That sounds amusing, hut the en
gineers found it a serious problem.
The ants attacked the first poles set
and fairly riddled them; and the
elephants reached up with their
trunks and tore down the wires. So
iron sockets seven foot in height were
used to set the poles in. which cir
cumvented the ants: and after a
careful measurement of the highest
reach of an elephant's trunk, the
poles were made tall enough to keep
the wires out of the way.
STUDENTS BUILDING A CLOCK.
For live years students in the
senior class of the University high
school have been constructing a giant
clock to be hung shortly in the
Mitchell tower of the University of
Chicago. The clock, which meas
ures 13 feet in diameter, will he
finished on May 20.
Prof. Idarl Bixbv Person designed
fhe timepiece, but all the work lias
been done in iho shop of the manual
training department of the school.
The clock will hang 150 feet from
tlie ground, and will have four dials,
all of them transparent, so that the
time may be read at night.
WOMEN DO GREAT WORK.
The report of the Woman’s For
eign Missionary Society at the Meth
odist conference in Baltimore shows
that there are 5,998 auxiliary socie
ties, 158,100 members, 1,493 young
people’s societies with 38,923 mem
bers. The finances of the society for
the quadriennium totals $2,392,378.
The society gave $73,000 for the In
dian jubilee and $42,956 for the
China centennial. The society lias
real estate valued at over a million
dollars. It lias 313 missionaries in
active service, 108 new' missionaries

four years.
WOULD JOIN HIM.
Ernest Henan, the great author
and member of the French academy,
lived a life of great simplicity, going
to lied with the chickens and arising
with the lark. Not long ago a min
ister of state pressed lit nan ft) attend
a ball lie was giving. Henan at first
stubbornly refused, but after awhile
he said :
“By the way, when do you go to
supper ?”
“About five a. m.”
“Very good,” said Henan. “I’ll
get up half an hour sooner, join you
and make it my breakfast.”
HIS NERVE.
She—I hear you are a lover of
music.
He—Oh, yes; but don’t let that pre
vent you from playing.
CORNERED LORD KITCHENER.
Lord Kitchener a in uses himself by
making a wonderful collection of old
china. This amiable weakness is
becoming a positive passion with the
commander-in-chief. Lord Kitehen
er still holds his view that matri
mony means the end of a soldier’s
career. One lady, the wife of an of
ficer, is credited with having reduced
Lord Kitchener to silence on this
point by asking him, “if tlie ollicers
of the army of to-day an; not to
marry, where will you look for thy
offieprs of the army of to-morrow.”
PROOFS.
“What we want is to keep striving
for greater, higher things,” said the
idealist.
“Well,” answered the architect,
“aren’t we? Look at our sky
scrapers.”
