A little incident came up in disi cussing boys at the Y. M. C. A. th other night that brought forth a story from a man who had once been a di rector of the Boys' club. "I -was standing in the door of the Boys' club," said he, "extolling the perfect disposition of a little blue eyed youngster -who was sitting In a window a few feet away from us. The woman member of the board of direc tors to whom I was doing the ex tolling had remarked how nice the little boy seemed, such a placid face, Buch pretty blue eyes.

A man was one day feeding a tame elephant with potatoes which the elephant took from his hand. A small round potato fell on the ground just out of reach. After several unsuccessful attempts to get it the animal blew so strong a blast of breath against it that it was dashed against a wall, from which it rebounded so far that he easily reach ed it. It is said that an elephant will often blow just beyond small objects out of reach so that the reflected cur rent of air will drive them toward him. Dr. Romanes repeats the story of an elephant that was chained to a tree near a little oven in which his driver had just baked some rice cakes.
