ElepKants' Feel Tho feet of elephants in captivity have to be looked after carefully all the time, and once or twice a year, anyway, specific treatment is required to keep them in order. If the elephant Is in a traveling show, where he Is do ing more pr less marching in street parades, and it may be in moving from place to place on the road, his feet are worn down to something like what they would be in nature. In such a case they would have to be regularly overhauled only once a year, at tho close of the winter season. In the case of elephants remaining in one spot all the time, in a stationary men agerie, where they would do no marching, and would scarcely wear their feet down at all, their feet are looked after twice a year. A captive elephant on the road might suffer in his feet from stone bruise, or might pick up a stone, or a tock, or any one of forty things; or he might have corns or have something the matter with his toenails; or possibly have suffered the loss of a toe nail by some accident. From some such injury the elephant might go lame, or suffer otherwise. It might be that the foot would need to be protected under treatment, and there is used for such purpose a bag with a shirring around the top, which, drawn over the foot, and up a little on the leg above It, can be closd around the leg to keep out gravel or anything else that might otherwise work in and ir ritate the foot. This elephant with the sore foot would, of course, be spared all the walking possible. He would not ap pear in the parade, but in the case of a railroad show, for instance, he would on arriving at or leaving a show town, limp along with that bag over his foot from the car to the show lot, or from the show lot to the car, by the shortest way. Incidentally the elephants' feet are being looked after all the time; the annual or semi-annual over-haul ing Is to keep them down to their nat ural proportions and conditions and make them less liable to injury. In its general shape the bottom of an ele phant's foot is somewhat like a blunt ed oval. The sole Is a flat pad or cushion, tough, but elastic, being of a gristly or cartilaginous character. Commonly this pad would be about an ineh in thickness. The elephant's toes do not project separately out beyond the rest of the foot, but are virtually inclosed within tho front rim of the foot, their presencs marked by the toenails, which are in appearance as much as anything like big black hard- Tshe Mysterious Mav J**"'' "* ~v _ b- * n ' , tered by Dr. Berthold JLt l\ Lanfor of New York Ctty. With the hope that he may ulti mately penetrate the mysterious Thib etan city of Lhassn. Dr. Berthold Lauf er, who Is connected with the Museum of Natural History, New York city, la about to renounce the world and his friends for the solitude of a Buddhist temple. He will leave in a few days for Pekin, where he will settle in a Lamaistic monastery to live tho life of a recluse and to be among tho priests, studying their language, customs and ceremonies. He hopes to obtain one of their official degroos which would facil itate him in his attempt to reach the holy city of Lhossa. All the specimens he can secure will be sent to the New York museum.

Accents by rhonorrupti. It has long been supposed that France, or a Frenchman, is necessary for the acquisition of a proper French accent. This i 3 no longer so now that an economical substitute for the Frenchman ha 3 been found In the phonograph.

"The great held for the eastern investor will henceforth be found in the northern part of tho state. Tho development of gold and copper mines in Shasta county, and particularly the discovery of oil in the northern counties is assuming such proportion that they cannot longer be bidden from the investment se kcr, l.nd eastern capital will not fail to d s cover the great possibilities. The oil Industry of California will reach this year an output of over 10,000,000 bar rels. The Santa Fe and Southern Pa cific railroads are burning oil on their locomotives; the sugar reßnerics. street railway power houses and manu facturing industries, are substituting It for coal. Four months ago the home consumption for fuel only amounted to over 400,000 larr?ls a month. Coal in California costs from fS to 514 a ton.

V V V V V shell clamshells set around on the front edges, five to a foot in the case of the Asiatic elephants and four in the case of the Africans. With no use of its feet, nothing keep them worn down as they would be kept in nature, the pads may grow to be two inches thick, and come to have crevices or seams in them in which foreign matter may lodge, and the elephant is in more danger of pick ing up things, which may become im bedded in the tough pad and get out of sight and work through into the quick. The toenails also got long, and they may curl under the sole of the foot and they become thus more liable to be caught, and the situation Is then one of inconvenience and danger to the animal. But before thoy reach this stage the elephant's fee# are trimmed down into shape. The feet of the ele phants in the Central park menagerie got one of their regular overhauiings last week. "Tom," said Elephant Keeper Snyder to tho larger of the two elephants, on one of the days when this work was going on, "give us your feet." And the big elephant llftod his toot as a horse might have lifted his on a like request. "Tom can tejl you what you are thinking about when you look at him," says Keeper Snyder. Jule, the other elephant Is not so tractable or not so Intelligent, and It takes more diplomacy and effort to get at her feet for the work necessary to be done upon them. But even with the most docile of elephants It takes two men to do the work conveniently, and, at the menagerie In the park when the elephants' feet are fixed Head Keeper Shannon gives Keeper Snyder a lift. It might not bo expected that these elephants would pick up any thing hero In their long-accustomed quarters, whose floor they have trod den for years, but on this occasion in one of Jule's feet Keeper Snyder found a die, one out of a set of dice, which had already been worked in out of sight, and in one of Tom's fee: was the bowl of an iron teaspoon, the handle having been broken off. The metal of this spoon could bo seen when the foot was lifted up, but it was Imbedded sufficiently so that it took quite a pull with the keeper's elephant hook to pull it out. How those two odd and curi ously different things found their way into the elephant's cages to be picked up in their feet oould not be said for certain, but it is probable that they were thrown in by thoughtless chil dren. —New York Sun. ders are destined to go forth bearing precious French accents Into thou sands of happy English homos. A book has now been prepared, called "The Pictorial French Course." It contains thirty lessons, each illus trated by a picture ingeniously por traying the objects alluded to In the lesson.

With this she flies to the hole again, and with jaws, and head and feet, molds the thin drawn paste into fine gray paper, silky, strong and waterproof.. Hero is an invention —"paper from wood-pulp" which has been littered before the blind eyes of man ever since in pre historic ages he first destroyed waspe' nests, but was reserved to be his "tri umph" at the end of the Nineteenth century of our modern era!

A set of rubber tires suitable for use on a lire engine cost from $350 to $450. There is no question about the advan tages of their use. With rubber tires an engine goes less often to the repair shop and so Is more continuously in commission. And if you should happen to see a rubber tired engine go around a corner or get into or out of the tracks of a street railroad, you'd think the ad vantage gained there was enough to pay for the tires. The engine doesn't swing or slide, but it follows true and the driver knows Just where hs can go and what he can do with tha machine when he's under way.

The Duke of Norfolk has acknowl edged the truth of the singular story that has recently been fold about the chief of his country seats, the famous Arundel castle. In Sussex. It seems tlmt the ownership entitled to the "title and honors" of the Earldom of Arundel, the most ancient title in the peerage. I£ la not at all likely that tho house of Howard, of which the Duke of Norfolk Is the head, will get into financial liard luck, and be forced to part with the castle as a valuable asset, but if In the course of human events such a climax comes la me family fortunes of the Howards, there Is said to be no legal obstacle to prevent the purchaser of Arundel castle, even If he be the new est of the new among the untitled mil lionaires, from taking his seat in the house of Lords as the Earl of Arun del. It Is a title which dates back more than 850 years before Christo pher Columbus made the preliminary surveys for the establishment of popu lar government In the United States, nud, while the Duke of Norfolk's dukedom Is the oldest in the peerage, his earldom antedates it by nearly as long as it does the first voyage of Coj umbus. The dukedom, in fact, was drgjLtgd nine years before that cele uratcu TrSns-Atlantic excursion was announced as a pleasing and excit ing novelty to the skeptical Spaniards, and it will be n curious thiug if multi millionaires, weary of buying what little remains to be purchased of the American continent and its business enterprises, should write a small check (small, of course, for an Ameri can multi-millionaire) and add Arun del castle to his minor possessions, so as to be able to use the house of lords as a club during his spring visits to do a little shopping on the London fltock exchange.

Is an infinitely more desirable post than Munich, where he has been since ho made way at Tokio for Minister Iswolski. Baron Kosen, who belongs to the Lithuan ian nobility, and the origin of whose family Is German, is regarded as one of the most astute of Muscovite dip lomats. and, above all. is a man of ac tion.
