How It Is Used by the British Gov eminent In India. Its elephant fleet is one of the atran gest and most deadly departments maintained by the British government in India. It is a large fleet of coast lng steamers specially built for the transport of elephants. India's popu lation Is one-fifth that of the 'entire globe. All these people use elephants. They use them for draft work and for tiser hunting, and in the arenas of the native ' states they even pit them against one another and against wild beast. The elephant fleet transfers the animals from Dacca, the trapping and training headquarters, to the various districts whence comes the de mand. To get an elephant aboard ship is a difficult and dangerous task. The anl mal must wade through the surf to a stout raft, and this unknown surf, so white and tumultuous, often terrific!" and maddens him. If in his fury he slaughters a mahout or two be cannot be greatly blamed. Once on the raft his legs are tied to pegs, and the slow sail to the ship is uneventful. ; But now a great band must be arranged "under the elephant's belly, and a crane must hoist him up some twenty or thirty feet to the deck. Here again the elephant cannot be set down as in tractable if. losing bis bead In that unprecedented aerial Journey, be mur ders some more mahouts. Very pros perous, albeit stained a little with ma bouts' blood, the elephant fleet for many years has plied up and down the Indian coast, embarking and disem barking its heavy, unmanageable freight. Xew York Press. The Appreciation of Music. If we wonld appreciate mnsic aright. we must remember that its beauty de pends not upon the composer alone. but upon ourselves also. Deep calls unto deep, and the harmony of sound. though sppealing primarily to the out ward ear, must be answered by a har mony from within ourselves. The more culture we bring to the hearing of music, the wider our sympathy, the more exquisite will be the echoes which it awakens in the soul. If we would understand the composer's mes sage we must co-operate with him. We must reach out to him with all our faculties. If we do that, the reve lation of music win ceaselessly renew Its beauty, ever turning unimaglned aspects to gladden us. Bed! era Mason In Atlastlc. An Ugly Looking Lizard.
