FOR THECHILDREN Elephant Sleep. A man who had the privilege of passing the night among the cages of a menagerie gives an interesting description of what an elephant looks like when asleep. It is, he says, the strangest sight he ever saw. Its great legs are bent into right angles at the knees, its trunk is curled into its mouth, and the whole body looks like a shapeless mound of mud or a half inflated balloon. There is absolutely nothing about it to suggest life. There is not the slightest movement in any part of the big hulk, nor is any part distinguishable in the faint light. The two ends of the body are exactly alike. The ears lie perfectly flat, and the eyes are concealed in wrinkles of the flesh. Only by the sense of hearing can one tell that the mass has life, for somewhere tsut of it comes a hissing sound like steam from an exhaust pipe. This sound continues for several seconds and then stops, to be repeated after an interval, but the interval is so long that the repetition of the sound does not _ seem like breathing. Chicago News.

The Mariner’s Compass. The compass was invented by the Chinese nearly 4,000 years ago,, but it was not introduced into Europe until, about the middle of the twelfth century. At that time Marco Polo, who had spent many years in Asia, returned to Italy, bringing the little guide with him. At first the compass was used only on laud, but later its greatest use was to the mariners. The essential part of the compass is a magnetized needle balanced freely on a fine point fastened to the center of a circular card marked N. S. E. W. to show the cardinal points. The mariner’s compass is inclosed in a brass box which is suspended by gimbals, so that the box may remain horizontal. The needle of a compass always points north, although the compass may be in any horizontal position. The reason for this is that the earth is a great magnet, having its poles north and south, and attracts all smaller magnets. The earth’s north magnetic pole Is many miles from the real north pole.
