Driving Elephant* to Thoir Death In tha Dry Beacon In Africa. i In the heart of ibe African etopbant I country, from wiip-h cmues the bulk I of tbe WorkTa Ivory supply, 1 once enw the destruction of these huge (waste ■ performed tn a novel yet bartmroua manner. It «ns a process that played [ upon the fear ail animals have for lire. I When the Ntam-N'iani hunters—Whose . name, by the way. menus ’’great ent ers”—discover n herd of elephants they i set out and bent tbo country for miles around, throwing a cordon nlwut the - herd and gradually closing in. Al though the hunters are nrmed with 1 old muscle loading elephant rifles and carry a iilentiful supply of nmmuni- \ tion, they always use the fire trap dur ing tbe dry season. As the herd is gradually driven to gether .by the hundreds of hunters torches are passed around by tbs wom en and at a,shrill blast from the war horns they are lighted. Another blast from the horns is the signal for the torches to be applied to the tall, dry grass, and a writhing tea of slams soon encircles the doomed herd. Hftlf a mile lu diameter is not an uncommon measure of the fire trap. Roaring and crackling like 1 volleys of musketry, the flames leap up and tend to burn Inward upon the circle, nud the poor elephants, who daro not face the flames, die frpm suffocation. Then, when the fire Ims burned itself out, the Nifun-Nlaut enter the trap of dentil, gorge themselves upon elephant meat and collect tbe ivory, which they bear to tbe trading stations. In ex change for their booty they receive tbe trinkets mid gayly colored cloths that delight their hearts and after a time start once more off on the never ending ivory hunt- Cincinnati Commercial Tribune. DOES HEREDITY EXIST? If It Does It Has Never Boon Proved, It la Claimed. Is there such a thing as heredity? A father htst blue eyes, and so has his son. Is there a special energy or force that did this? Suppose his son has brown eyes. DM heredity stop acting? Was it. so to speak, turned off? That is absurd. The forces which caused the boy’s eyes In one case to be like the father's mid in the next case un like were the same. No ’one doubts that. No new force or energy had been introduced. . Heredity, therefore, is not a thing in Itself. It has no existence, in fact It denotes no constant actual living force. It is simply a noun derived from the adjective hereditary. Hered itary means handed down from parent to child. slmpljQlmt and nothing more. Aft estate is hereditary. Tbe brown eyes as truly hereditary as the blue, no more, no less. As all life proceeds from life, all life In every detail is hereditary. Try to realize nnd be certain of this, it will prevent you from falling Into errors. It is commonly said, for Instance, that cer tain qualities are hereditary and oth ers uot For taujgihce, a genius sud denly appearing* of commonplace pro genitors is said uot to be hereditary. But a genius h» born, so he must be hereditary in the true sense; genius is not acquired. . . Thus in common usage the word he reditary is n bused and twisted into meaning something it does not mean— namely, a tendency in cliildren to re produce the more or less unusual quali ties of parents. It is assumed that there is such a general tendency, but it. has never been proved.—Atlantic. Describing the Grand Canyon. As for the Grand Canyon of the Colorado, it affects those who behold it with a kind of literary asthma. They desire to describe it; some try passionately, but they only wheeze and look ns though they might explode.
