A Valuable Product Which U the lliMiilt of Dl.rn.a In lh Wlmlr. A valuable product of this wlinle Is tho remarkable substaneo called amber gris I. o., gray amber. Until late years ambergris could only bo found floating on tlio surface of (ho sea, tho coasts of Africa, lira.il and tho Baha mas bo'ng tho usual localities for it. Tho color of amborgrls when broken Is ashen gray, mostly clouded with a red dish hue, and dlversilied with Irregular streaks of yellow and black spots. O.t tho cxter or it is black and shining, and looks ns If it had here and there been daubed with pitch. It is mostly found In lumps var.ting In weight from half an ounce to u hundred pounds, or even more. A it Is worth about a guinea per ouno), a largo p ceo is of very great value; so that u party of sailors who once found a lump of llfty pound wo glit ami knew tho value of thi'ir discovery, dus'ertod their ship and went home with their prize. Ambergris has now been robbed of its mvster.es and is known to bo unprosa'cally formed by a morbid condition of t!ie Intestine, and there fore each whale Is carefully searched be fore the b idyls cut ndnftuftertho blub ber ami spermaceti have been reuioved. Not one whnlo In fifty, however, pro dunes a single ounce of ambergris.

I have made many observa Hons to determine' the diflcrcnco of temperature with slight d Here ces ot elevation., An open air thermometer hangs nt tho north door of my labora tory, ndjus'e;! to avoid accidental va riations of temperature.

' The general fact that the tempera ture of tho air varies with different levels above tho earth's surface has long been recogu'zed.

I nppreo ato tho fact that ono' feel nigs enu uaiuiy 00 accepted as a re liable test of temperature, and thai thermometer is t)et;cr than a sensation to furnish rt'laMo physical data. "The temperature of tho open air" for any g.veu locHiny, linn tor me same tune. is supposed nymosi persons to bo detinue and uniform quantity. If two persons In tho samo neighborhood re port diflerent temperatures for the came hour, it is Mipoosed that such d.flercnco must arsj from a d ft err nee in tho correctness of lh) thermometers, or some accidental variation of cx Insure, it being assumed that the "temperature of tho open air" for a g.vcn locality and identical t me would be tho same. Many persons suppose it is a very simple thing to deterniino the temH'r.ituro of the oHn a r; it is only necessary to hang the thermometer out door till it has reached a point of no fluctuation and then read off tlio tem perature by the thermometer scale, lint when trial is made even with ther niKU o-m that compare favorably with each other under identical Conditions, a marked d'scn-pancv is often observed in place 01 near tie giiixii ho d.

Ho attacked perform ng elephant named lia'.i mid a desperati light began, rive or six of tho small elephants broke lo se llieir frightened cries soon excited every animal in the build ngs, and lh air was tilled with roars that aroused the neighborhood. The night keepers weri! afrad to attempt to separate Ajax Hid liazie, who were trumpeting aud e liar 'ing at each ot'ier with great fury When tho r huge bodies came together at the end of everv rush the shock could be folt throughout the place. Jack rorepaugli was sent for, but before ho arrived tho watchman dis covered that Aiax and Uazio wero ill engaged With each other that they did 1 not heed what was going on about tliem. The doors were opened, and all ,the eli'pha'.ts except the lighters were driven out. l(y tho time this was a1 homplishcd Mr. Fo.vpnugh arrived. He has had thirty years' experience With W,ld animals and stands no . niorj in i'nr of an elephant than an ordinary jierson does of a dog. Grasping an elephant hook a spiko and a hook on a handle ho ran between the furious boasts and ordered liazie back, liazie obpved, but tho blood of the new 1 1) pliant was up and ho charged on th man, who eluded him and fastened the hook in the beast's ear. Aiax turned and bore down upon him. The trainer stabbed him w th a spike and dodged behind a post Ajax butted tho post dowil as though it was a reed. The other men ran to Mr. Forepaugh's as' sistntco and iH.s.iikd thj elephant from so ninny points that ho paused IrresO' into. 1 uur.ng that pause, a chain was passed about ono of his hind legs nnd fastened to an anchored ring. This rendered him almost helpless. His other legs were hobbled and ho was icu niono until daylight, liaio Dning dr.ven oil to another part of the quar ters. im luesdav morning Aiax was as sullen and vicious as ever. Had ele phants sometimes remain in this mood for days, and no man can approach them with safety. Until such an ele phant's spirit is broken, lie is worse than useless. Steps wero at once taken to convince Ajax that he must obey his kecpors. Of tho tifrty-six elephants under Forepaugh's caro none was as hard to subdue as Aiax. Iho work of conquering the proud spirit of Ajax began at nine o'clock on Tuesday morning and ended shortly b 'fore noon yesterday. Beating hits no fleet upon a mad elephant it onlv tenders him more stubborn and wicked. Tho breaker's only hopu is to convince siii'li an annual that he is powerless against man. That necomplMied, the beaut bee imes as docile us elephants ever are. On luesday morning four Hawsers were passed through mi mens pulleys attached to beams under the roof. Then a set of harness, shipctl something 1 ke a monster shawl strap, was fastened about Ajax's defiant body. The leather strain, which were three-ply thick, covered small chains. All the leather plates wero copper riveted and a foot wide. Ajax looked as though ho wero in armor after being encased. Three hourt were Fpeut in getting the harness on him, and during 1I10 job ho slightly injured two of tho keepers. Through iron rings, supported by great cha ns, wero passed the hawsers. Then a dozen men j rasped two of tho lines f ropo that passed throu;h mil- leys and before Aiax knew it his himl feet were- six feet nnovo tho ground, and he st oJ on his front ones in the most npprU'd p'iforiu ng elephant stvle.
