NO MALICE IN ELEPHANTS Good Nature Characteristic of Jungle Monster, Says Traveler Who Should Knew. In 1905 I found myself near the i Insia, river, an important affluent of the Kwilu. flowing through a fertile region which is infested by herds of elephants, a source of constant anxi ety and frequent losses to the agri cultural inhabitant, writes E. Torday in the Wide World Magazine. In a country like this, where he is not hunted by man in the ordinary way and the only means for his destruction are cruel but easily avoided pitfalls, the elephant is decidedly good na tured. We were told by the mission boys at Pana that in the rainless sea son, when their usual haunts are dried up, the elephants frequently wander near the river and attack the plantations. The natives try to drive them away with sticks! "But it is no good hitting them or throwing stones at them,” I was told; “they generally refuse to take any notice. Sometimes । a mother with a calf will turn on us , and chase us for 100 yards or so, but no real harm is meant and the ani mal is not really angry, for all the [ signs of fury—spread ears and raised trunk —are absent All the same we ; do run away, although we know there I is no danger. One day a boy fell ■ when thus pursued, but the elephant . only threw sand on him.” As 1 have myself seen a man just J pushed out of the way by one of these good-natun d monsters, when the an imal had more than enough provoca tion to kill him, I was inclined to ac cept this account as true. USE OF SIGHT ON A RIFLE Necessary Because Bullet Cannot Be Made to Travel on a Straight Line. The average person, if asked to ex plain why a rifle la sighted, would probably be unable to do ao beyond some vague remark about taking cor rect aim. Sigbta are necessary because a bul let does not travel In a straight line, but, under the influence of gravity and friction, begin to drop almost aa soon aa it leaves the muzzle. Thus the bullet of our service rifle (Loe Ha field) drops six inches fa the first Ito yards, but when it baa gone 300 yards it will have dropped Mt 13 inches, but two feet. The drop in creases by leapa and bounds with the distance. Were there no eights on the rifle and you wanted to hit a mark at 3to yards, you would dearly have to atm two feet above ft. Thio would be awkward, tor you would lom sight of the object aimed at, to aay nothing of the diffleutty of correctly estimating a distance of two feet at 300 yarda The sights of a rifle enable you to keep your eye on the mark, although the muzzle of the rifle is actually pointed above it. The moving slide of the back sight enables you antosiat ically to point the mussto fast ao many toot above the math aimed at as is necessary to counteract the known drop of the bullet at various ranges—London Answers. tof OSRSRIIfUkUSIIo The collector of bridge tolls In a Scottish border town was unite a char acter in his way. Upon one occasion a large party of AsMricaa dergymea. who were vMting Scotland, came to survey the classic Borderland. The end of the bridge bears a notice that not mere than ten people are allowed on it at onoe. bat the clerics chose to diregard this, and wont on in a body. The collector saw them from hie little sentry box, and rushed out. “Back og that bridge!” he shouted, but unused to such tones the clerics pressed on. “Back off that bridge!" shouted the collector agate. “But. my good man." expostulated the foremost, “do you know that we are members of the Pan-Presbyterian eongreesT* “Ye may call yourselves' Pan-Pres byterian or pot-Presbytoriaa,” roared the collector, "but if ye no gang aU that bridge ye'll be a* Baptists in twa massifs.” One Dog Tax ths State Has to Pay. "What.” asks the Mexican hairless philosopher of the Topeka Capital, "has become of the watchdog?” And here is the Emporia Gazette's answer: “He is, so far as we can make out from a cursory glance at the Kansas papers, making arrangements to come to Topeka during this legislature as 'the watchdog of the treasury.' And he isn't much of a dog—aa dogs go. This state has paid more dog taxes on watchdogs of the treasury than the nation has paid on its dogs of war: personally we have a low opinion ot all dogs—that grow less than four legs!”—Kansas City Star.
