Great Oseeasoay AttfMH Its Oaf
tan h Former Tlmem.
Tkt (lory of th« white elephant
hM long since departed. Even la
Ham. tta native co.intry, there are
maay evidences that It will 8008
MM* to b* treated other than the
ordinary elephants. The contrast
between IU former condition aud Ita
present forlorn condition Is re
markable.
The early historians of the Orient
have left accounts of the capture of
the white elephant In different parts
of Indo-Chlaa, all of which lay great
sirs— oa the magnificent ceremonies
aad the great delight of the kings to
welcome the beast (o tholr capitals.
The fortunate individual who dis
covered the whereabouts of a white
elephant was at once raised to the
highest rank of nobility and very
Ukely married to the King's daugh
ter, though this was no great honor,
as he probably had many dosens to
dispose of. The capture being ef
fected, guard* Of nobles were mount
ad over the animal, which wae bound
with silken ropes aad detained in the
Jnaglea -where It was caught.
A palaoe was erected for Its re
ception cloee to that of the King, and
road* were made from the place of
capture to the principal highway.
Installed In it* palace loaded with
honor*, and with the highest sound
ing titles, surrounded by the golden
umbrellas and other Insignia of
grsatneas, ths white elephant led a
ltffof luxurious ease, lulled to sleep
by the ehoral chants of priests and
aaonasd during waking hours by the
eoag* and dance* of the royal corp*
d* ballet. It was fed on deltclou*
fruit* aad vegetables, which were
specially (elected and prepared,
bathed every day by obsequious at
tendant*. thereby Increasing the
glory of the King and securing the
superiority and stability of the for
tunate country which poaeeeaed it.
Some forty-live yesrs ago the King
of Slam possessed a white elephant
which waa the ohlef delight and
pride of the sovereign In spite of hi*
high eduaatlon and good Intellect.
A* the greatest oompllment he could
think of paying to the Queen of
England he sent her, by the hand*
of her envoy, a few hair* pulled ex--
preasly for her from the tall of hi*
beloved animal. I.«ter, when the
object of hi* affection* died, he sent
to hi* friend. Sir John Bowrlng, a
touohlng letter In Bngltah and a
■mail piece of "Its beautiful white
akin."
Ths recent addition of a young
epeslusa «® a native collection gave
aa opportunity for comparison of
with paat conditions. A
■mall pecuniary recompense was
thought a sufficient reward for the
man who made the capture. Wh*n
It wa* tame enough to be trans
ported It wa* marched across the
country to the nearest railway ata
tlon, where a specially conatructed
truck waa waiting to receive It. But
there were no gilded plllara, no silk
aad satla hanging*, no admiring
multitude to do homage to the ma*-
oot of their King and country. In
Bangkok, however, aome prepara
tions were made. A considerable
crowd waa waiting at the station,
and the streets were decorated hers
aad there with bunting. A proces
sion of four white elephants, resi
dents of ths capital, escorted the
newcomer to Its home. The trap
ping* of the white elephsnts were
tawdry,threadbare, red cloth, Instead
of ths Jewel studded velvet and silk,
aad ths diamond and ruby no longer
ornamented the whits tusk*. Th*
whit* elephant'* existence 1* now
hardly auperlor to that of the com
moa black herd.
How Htrda Scatter Fish Spawn.
Senator Toung asked Del Travla
how It happened that catflah and
saafish oould be found In ponds on
the prairie or place else where
there was no connection with run

tion which la Interesting. Every boy
knows that he can catch "bull

raaalng water In them for years, and
th* boy* hare had many different
ways of explaining It. Th* favorit*
explanation of th* boy I* that It rain*

"Th* rea*oa of It Is this," aald Mr.
Trmvta. "Th* .catflah and the aunflah
lay their egga In shallow water. In

Mhser Mlrnclee of Nature.
There are certain Arctic animals,
dark-coated tn the short summer,
that In winter turn pure white, thus
mntching the snow-covered land
scape and escaping notice and harm.
This change of color, this protec
tion, effected no one know* how, to
wonderful, na wonderful as a mira
cle and ke«»t * kindred change of
color, * kindred protection, happen*
anting mankind every summer and
nobody ever notices It.
'A'hen the pale city people go **t
In the summer aun of the aearjnre
or the mountains the light attacks
them fiercely, first reddening tbelr
skin, then swelling, blistering and
scorching it. If tbey kept in the sun
enough and If no miracle occurred
the light would kill them finally,
burning off the skin firat and after
ward attacking thf raw lleah.
But a miracle Ws occur. Th*
sun may hent on tsn-colored akin for
dnya and weeka, but auch akin re
main* alwaya sound, unbllstered,
whole, say* the Chicago Chronicle.
To prove the mlracto -to prova
that It Is not the darkening of th*
•kin, but the change In Ita color
which protects It from aunburn —I*
nn easy matter.
L*t * pale person, unused to th*
■un, stain one side of his faoe yel
low, and leaving the other aide un
touched, go out tn the bright aun for
a couple of hour*. The one aid* of
hi* face Is no tougher, no more hard
ened, than the other, yet the un
stained side will be Inflamed, blis
tered, while the tnn colored one will
be quite cool and unhurt.
Sunburn la a miracle, a protection
to mankind, as Inexplicable and a*
wonderful as the miracle of the Arc
tic animals' change In the winter
from dark coata to snow-whlt* on**.
Dreams snd Dreamers.
Hnrvey, who discovered the circu
lation of the blood, is said to hav*
recorded a dream In which * bum
blebee slung him In hi* left thigh,
on a place where a couple of days
later appeared an ugly ulcer. Mal*-
aherbe, the renowned French author,
found himself tn a dream attacked
by a rowdy who atabbed him In his
toft breast with a dagger In an area
where the following evening he felt
th* first attack of aevera pneumonia.
"The archives of medical reports."
■ays Dr. Axel Bmll Otbron, "ar*
heavy with cases of a slmllsr char
acter, which hnve either received no
explanation at all or else have been
explained away entirely."
Dr. Gibson call* attention to th*
fact that dream* depend on *om*
other media thaa those known as
the flve senses. A conclusive evi
dence in favor of thta view la found
In the circumstances thnt even ths
blind are able to see In drsams aa
witness experiences recorded by
Helen Keller, "Blind Tom," the poet
Milton and othera. Hence the con
clusion seema to be unnvotdable that
It fa only as far as phyalcal vision Is
concerned thnt the optic nerv*
guides and limits the Held of vision.
This same nuthor arrive* at th*
deduction that dreaming and waking
differ In degree and form of manifes
tation only, not In principle and es
sence. "Idke waking consciousness,"
he avors, "the dream reveals, but
does not create. The same world thst
surrounds the waking individual
surrounds the dreaming, only th*
viewpoints and media of observa
tion are changed.—-Exchange.

Stowage Life Encountered la th*
Depth* Effect aof Ligtlt.
"The first sensation experienced,"
said an Intrepid diver at an Inter
view with an Italian Journalist, "Is
something Ilk* that which la felt on
descending Into g mine, hut you soon
get accustomed to It. At a depth of
about nine feet medusae began to be
found In large quantities. 84-en
through th* wgtsr. everything ap
pear* magnified, and they are appar
ently of enormou* proportions. All
recollection of the protection af
forded by the glaa* front of the hel
met 1* forgotten, and the first Im
pression 1* that these masse* of hor
rid flaccid aad gllmy medusae will
adhere to yowr face Just a little

tltudlonu* shoal of amall fishes la
•ncountered, shimmering Itke so
many strip* of (htnlng copper, or
other metal, la a stair of contlnuou*
vibration. At a depth of about 16S
feet thick ma**e* of seaweed are
traversed; aome of these are halr-
Uke vegetable growths, with arma
from 20 to SO yarda In length, which,
with a kind of horrid vitality, wrap
themaelve* round every part of the
body.
"Below 162 feet there are Bmall
•nakeltk* fishes of about three feet
tn length, and alto other denlxena of
the deep reaembllng dolphins. These
latter hurl themselves violently
agnlnst the diver. If. as already re
marked, he Is somewhat young at
the game, and haa forgotten the pro
tection afforded by his helmet, he
la still filled with a mortal dread test
they ahould succeed In smashing the
glass front of the helmet despite Its
four Inches of thickness. .Of course
■hould that occur, death would be
almost Instantaneous, fltlll other und
worse monster* are the polypi or
devilfish, -who wrap their slimy ten
tacles around the bold explorer; but
although repugnant these monster*
are cowardly, and Immediately re
nounce tholr attack on coming In
contact with the unfamiliar feel of
the metal armor plating of my diving
dress. There are also equally hor
rible, and much more Intrepid, giant
crabs.
"In the vicinity of t>*tend," he re
late*, "I was requested once to ex
amine the wreck of a vessel which
had sunk not long before. This was
the occasion upon which I was as
sailed by a veritable horde of thos*
giant crabs of which I have already
spoken. They were at the time busy
devouring the corpses of the dead
■allors. One of these monster* selxed
ma by the leg, which would have
been crushed, as If squeoxed by *
Jaw of steel, had It not been pro
tected by tho powerful armoring of
my diving dress. I had a kind of
■word In my hand, with which I suc
ceeded tn killing two of thcMO mon
sters, the shells of which I still pos

sea ore covered with a kind of cu
rious |>owder, and a terrible gloom

of melancholy! The floor of the
ocean 1* strewn with bones, not a
few of them of human origin. A
very singular fact which I have ob
■erved la that tho sea for a certain
period of time keeps bodies In a per
fect state of preservation. I once
visited the hull of a vessel which
had gone down with all hands.
"The crew woro mostly asleep at
the moment when the disaster oc
curred, and had thus practically
passed Instantaneously from sleep to
death. 80 far they had not been bit
ten or gnawed hy any fish, as most
of the hatchways were closed. Tho
men still appeared as If asleep.
There they lay, wrapped In a calm
and mysterious slumber. I ap
proached and climbing down to thn
hatchway*, touched one of the
corpses with my hand; the flesh
seemed to dissolve and vanish under
my hand, leaving nothing hut a grin
ning skeleton!"— Scientific Ameri

Origin of Gloves and Corsets.
The origin of the corset la essen
tially unarlatocratlc, says
Express. A butcher In the thirteenth
century had a talkative wife, who
was. In addition, something of a vir
ago. Td reduce her to silence ho
Imprisoned her body In the first pair
of *tay*. Wives have Imitated and
Improved upon the Idea of the thir
teenth century butcher, but staya
and silence have ceaaed to be syn
onyms.
Gloves have also hud a checkered
history. As lately as two centuries
ajro they were forbidden In France
In churches, at the King's Court
when the king wa* present.and In
the court* of lew In the flrit part
of the eighteenth century they al
most passed out of fashion, but Parts
followed
tt doe* to-day, and when In 183> It
was known thnt the London dandles
r ore six different kinds of gloves
each day the fashion returned to Pa
rls, anJ ha*.never left it.
But gloves are not worn here as
they are worn In London. No Ix>n
doner put* on a pair of white or lav
ender kid gloves to pay a call. In
Paris white or lavender kid gloves
for men worn with a frock coat are
the height of fashion.
In Place of Candle*.
A remarkable flab la aald to exlat
In the coast river* of Alaaka. About
eight Inches long, it is transparent,
and the fattest of all the finny tribe.
Its flesh has not the oily, rancid taate
of other flab, but I* like fresh lard.
When dried the Indiana often use
the** flah in a novel way. Tbey are
burned In place of candle*^itndJ give
a clear, brilliant light, not liable to
ba blown out by .the wind. Each
fish burns for about fifteen mluutea.
