'ONDEROUS' SEA ELEPHANTS. They Have Two Foot Trunks and Flip. per Tipped With Claws. That which Is believed to be the Inst herd of sea elephants known to exist Is to be found at Guadalupe Island, off the west coast of Mexico. In the herd there are now only about thirty speci mens. The sea elephnnt Is an Important link In the chain of evolution and Is the largest of all nn footed aulmals. The adult male Is about twenty-two feet la length and Is about eight feet high when propped np on his front fllpners 10 a natural DOSltlOn. Thesa rrat bulls weigh from two to three tons and novo a trunk, or proboscis, which, when relaxed, hangs down over the mouth about two feet In the end of this the nostrils are placed rather wide apart and when they breathe their wnoie mass, trembles In tiny undula tions to the very end. The flippers are thick and tipped with heavy claws. There Is a tall about one foot and a half long, sepa rated horizontally In two divisions. This tall acts as a propeller, to resist the huge creature when he comes In through the breakers. He hoists his back flippers and tail so as to catch the full sweep of the waves, and then allows himself to be washed up on the neacn. Coarse, bristly hair grows sparsely from the back along the body, and a tough protecting crust of flesh reaches like a shield from the lower Jaw down over the chest and round to the back of the neck. Thls'blbllke affair is nature's provision for protection In time of battle. The mule fivht i. clously In the matin season end tha chest protector prevents much loss of ure. Sea elephants live on various kinds or small fish and use the trunk t seize them with. Afterward the food Is transferred to the mouth precisely as eiepnants manage It That EGGS BY THE YARD. Korea Also Produoes Oysters Weigh Ten Pounds Esoh. While in the orient a correspondent naa occasion to call on friends who lived near Seoul, the principal city of Korea. He tells the following story: One morning my hostess, while riv. Ing orders for the necessary things irom tne market for the day, mention ed four yards of eggs. I accompanied the steward that day on his marketing trip, ana when the eggs were asked ror tne grocer reached down in a bar rel and brought out the end of a large straw rope. He measured off the required length on the counter, just as ary goods store clerk would measure off cloth, rolled It np and put It In the basket without a smile. The eggs were inside of this hollow straw rope, with a string tied on the outside of It be tween each egg. This effectually pro tected the eggs from being broken while handling. Another day mr hostess ordered i "small" oysters for dinner. This or der caused ma to wonder a little, for I ItnMT that thara, trnnlrl k. dine, besides the servsnU.'but when tne oysters arrived all was explained, for one welshed four and a half poonds, and the other Ave pounds. On inquiry i was mrormed that some of the oysters on the northern side of Korea weigh a much as ten pounds. Christian Science Monitor. HOPEFULNESS. Tke hopeful man is spared a lot of muery m this world. One of the means of avoiding unneceMary misery and wTetch-dneis is to cullrVate on all occations the spirit of hopefulness until it becomes a cliaracierUtic, a habit, the cast of mind. . Soma years ago I visited the far west, passing through a region that had been infested by the worst ele ment of society. I put np one night at the house of John Murphy, a sheep raiser. His ranch house was not larce. but com fortable, and its decorations showed evidence of refinement His wife was a -woman who Impressed me as one having considerable equipoise and character. After supper I went out on the porch to have a smoke with Murphy and listened with interest to his account of the building up, of his region. During our conversation I stated , the opinion tkat men were what women ' made them. Then he told me his story. You re dead right stranger." ha said, "and I'm one of the men that have been made bv a woman. When 1 came to this country It was from an eastern city, ana my k education was derived from the dime novel. I was a waif, with no father or mother to Instill into' me the fact that however brave the road agents and others of whom I ftad they were acting on a wrong principle. As It was. I ad mired them, and almost before I be came a man I scraped up enough money to bring me out here to live the life of my heroes of the dime novel. "I soon got to be a head man among them and for eight years lived a life that I would give anything I have to forget. I have to be thankful for onlv one thing. During that frightful pe riod I never took a life. I didn't ac cumulate any money, and if I bad I should later on have got rid of it. "One evening I stopped at a house and knocked at the door. I Intended to ask for some supper, expecting once Inside to get my bearings for valua bles and take them away with me. I had started in with the intention of confining my operations to stage coaches, army paymasters and the like, but man Is always going cither uphill or downhill, and as I was neces. sarlly going down I wasn't nbove tak ing anything I could get my hands on, even from a woman. "A woman came to the door. She was young and fairly good looking. To my request for some supper she gave a smiling assent asking me to come In and make myself comfortable. She went into the kitchen, end I looked about me. There was n chimney in the room where I was with no fire, r I knew a chimney was a favorite place to hide money, and, going to tho fire place, I stopped and looked up. On a I projecting brick I saw a small box. which I appropriated and. lifting the cover, saw a lot of bills and loose change. I slipped It all in my pocket and put the box back In the chimney. "By and by the young woman came in ana set a good supper on the table. I ate my fill and when I bad finished took out one of the coins I had taken from the box and handed it to ber. "'No,' she said: 'there's nothlne to pay. You're quite welcome to your supper. I hope It has done you goodf You looked tired and hungry when you came In, and I felt sorry for you. So I have given you the best In the house." "Thnt was the first lesson in kindli ness I ever received. " At any rate, it was the first that ever took bold of me. When I though fcof the contents of the box in my pocket and my offer ing one of ber own coins in payment for ber kindness, not the least part of which was the way she offered it. my despicable meanness seemed to shrivel me all np. I couldn't look ber In the face. , ' 'You don't need to go on,' she said. 'We have a spare bed upstairs.' "I was thinking how I could got tbe money back In the box In tbe chim ney, and It occurred to me that If I stayed there all nlgbt I could slip down in the night and do the Job. So I said: 'Thank you. miss. If you don't mind I reckon I will. It'll be a great accommodation to me.' . " 'No more than to me. My brother and his wife have gone away for a few days and left ma alone with the children. They say that Murphy's gang la operating In the neighborhood, and I wouldn't mind having a man in the house.' "Ha that case,' I said. 'I think I'll sleep on that lounge, and I'll guarantee that no man gets upstairs unless be goes over my dead body.' "I knew two of my men would be along there that night, and t reckoned they'd take In anything by the way. The nrst tiling I did before turning in was to put tbe monev back in the lmr When I'd done that I felt tbe first of a bind of comfort I'd never experienced before. I didn't go to sleep, wanting to be awake If any one called. In tbe middle of tbe nlgbt my two men, Pote Barnlrkel and Colorado BUI. did call. I showered bullets everywhere about them except Just where they were, and they concluded there must be a whole vigilance committee inside. When they bad gone I beard a soft voice call down tbe stairs; Thank you. , x "'Just you go to sleep. I'm in com mand here.' "And I've been In command here ever since. I married the girl. I dldu't can few tin shortly before the woddlng and bare been living here ever since. My wife owned tbe property, and after i came in ner brother s family went off to a ranch they bought farther west" Phone your wmu to 101.
