ELEPHANT HUNTING.
IIow TbuM II an Animals are Captured la
tli Wllil of Orion.
There are several methods of hunt
ing elephant In India, all of which are
attended with more or kns pomp and
display. King and Prince taking part
in tho porL In. some places they arc
pursued with tamo elephants, trained
for tho mimosa, and very swift. When
these have come up with one, the lain
ter throw, with much dexterity
nooae of very stout cord, in siuh a w;iy
that tho wild 'animal find himself
cnught by the foot. He fall, and they
strap him down before he has time or
opportunity for rising. They then fas
ten him between two strong tame ole
pliant, who beat him with their trunks
if bo i at nil refractory, and compel
him to walk with them to the stable,
In Ceylon, an elephant hunt i a very
important nflair. J lie Government as
semble a great number of European
and Cingalese, who meet in the forest
where these animal are to be found.
All these hunter form a vast circle,
which they gradually narrow, advanc
ing and shouting.
The frightened elephant have but
one side to 11 y, and there I found tin
"redan," into which they are forced to
cuter. This redan I nothing less than
a great circle of stakes, terminating in
a sort of narrow neck, once entered in
to which the elephant can no longer
return. In order to force tlieni to enter
shouts are increased and burning torch
cs are throw n before their eyes; then
their fears are redoubled and they rush
into the trap, winch inclose them.
I lie first care after the capture I to
tame them. This i managed by plac
ing one or two tsuiio elephant near the
opening, hy which the wild one are
made to pass out, tied together, a we
have already said, llungeron one side
and blowsfrom theirdocile companions
an the other soon inspire them with
resignation.
They are also taken by pitfalls. A
path is chosen which is used many times
in tiie year by the elephants, and w hich
probably serves as a route in going
from the jungles to some spring in the
mountains. Across these paths several
pit are dug of about, twenty feet wide.
and fifteen to twenty feet deep, which
are then covered over W illi lranche
and turf. However mlmiralily these
pit may be concealed, it doe not often
happen that tho elephants fall therein.
Not only do they try with their feet
with tlio greatest care any ground that
look suspicious, but they make con
stant use of their trunk to prove the
solidity of the soil, or to clear out of
tlio way every thing which appear to
hide a trap. It i not an easy matter
to draw an elephant out of one of these
pit, ami it can only be done by the aid
of a tame elephant; otherwise it would
bo necessary to subline the animal by
hunger before thinking of getting him
out. Any one getting within reach of
the trunk of an elephant just taken
would do so at the risk of his life; but,
singularly enough, a driver mounted on
a tamo elephant neck can approach
the novice with impunity, and tighten
or slacken the noose round hi neck or
feet.
Tho conl placed round tho legs
sometimes cut them to the bone, and
leave marks which endure the animal's
life-time. No nourishment is given
him for several day. The deprivation
f food soon brings down hi coiira"V.
and then it i that hi appointed driver
insures tlu friendly recognition of the
elephant by bringing him food and un
biuding his limbs. Jlaner's Halw.
Popularizing Science.
For w hile science hits made its begin
ning iu observation, it lias really con
structed system out of the heap of ole
scn-ntivu truly ly rationalizing. If,
hftweVU'i it be objected, front the scien
tific standpoint, that the transcendental
philosophy is too intricate, remote mid
in many of it aspect abstract, to be
attractive to the scientific mind, there
is but one answer: Tilings can rml he
made simpler than they ni it I ti
much easier thing to know, than to
construct a theory of knowing. Here
no attempt can be successful which will
not face thing remote from ordinary
experience; the intricacy is lying within
(lie ordinary, wrapped up in the mar
vels of our own intellectual procedure.
Granting tho loss of popularity which
this involves, tlio rational school must
accept the inevitable, a science itself
does in order that it may be truly scion

Iceland wa discovered in the eiglith
century by a Norwegian ice dealer,
who, one particularly mild winter when
hi usual supplies failed, wa searching
for that necessary commodity. Ho
found this island just flowing witli ice,
so he called it Iceland, and a nice land
it lias been ever since" for men in that
business.
Iceland is well situated for a summer
residence, being on the Northern Atr
lantic, on tlio confines of tho Artie
Ocean. Nearly all tho icebergs on their
way from Greenland's icy mountains
to India's coral strand stop at Iceland
to xvood and water.
The inhabitant, who are of Scandi
navian origin,' nro very honest. An
ice-house can be left unlocked on the
darkest night without a lump being
raised.
The island 1 warmed by several vol
canoes, that are kept fired up night and
day ready to respond to an alarm. If
they mis an eruption the people nro
liable to break out with the scurvy,
which is the sumo thing. Scurvy is the
national air of Iceland. When they
don't sing that they 'roar-a borealis,
which is also a northern production.
Though Icelanders are temperate
people they are fond of putting in a
glass occasionally, which account for
the number of glaciers among them.
The island i noted for it hot spring,
called geyser. Nearly every resident
cultivates a geyser in his garden, so if
the fall and . winter prove cold he is
sure of a hot spring.
Iceland has two lofty mountains,
Hecla and Jokel. The latter i 6.000
feet above the lex-el of tho sea, which
i no mean height, Jokul you are a
mind to about it. Travel i principally
performed on a sledge drawn by rein
