That which in believed to he the liiHt
herd of sea elephants known to exist
Is to be found nt Guadnlupo Island, off
the west coast of Merlco. in the herd
there are now only about thirty speci
mens. The seu elephant is an important link
in the chain of evolution and Is the
largest of iUI fin footed animals. The
ndult male Is about twenty-two foot
In length and Is about eight feet high
when propped tip on Ills front dippers
In a natural position. These groat
bulls weigh from two to throe tons
and have n trunk, or proboscis, which,
when relaxed, hangs down over the
mouth about two feet. In the end of
this the nostrils nro placed rather wide
apart, and when they breathe their
whole mass trembles In tiny undula
tions to the very end. VP
Thu tllppers nro thick and tipped
with, heavy clnws. There Is a tall
about ono foot and a half long, sepa
rated horizontally In two divisions,
This tall nets ns n propeller, to resist
the huge crenturo when he comes In
through tho breakers, Ho hoists his
back tllppers and tall so ns to catch
tho full sweep of the waves, and then
rillowH himself to bo washed up on the
beach.
Coarse, bristly hair grows sparsely
from tlio luick along tho body, nnd a
tough protecting crust of flesh reaches
like a shield from the lower Jaw down
over (he chest niic? round to tho back
of the neck. This blbllko nffnlr is
nature's provision for protection iti
time of battle Tho mnlo fights vi
ciously In tho matlni; season, and the
chest protector prevents much loss of
Hfe.
fen elephants live on various kinds
of small tlsh and use the trunk to
seize them with, Afterward tho food
Is transferred to tho mouth precisely as
olephants manngu It.

Subdued the Peer.
In her reminiscences I.ady Porothy
Nevlll said that In hor younger dajs
parents were very particular about the
matrimonial alliances made in their
families, and she told un amusing sto
ry of one, old peer who was greatly
surprised to be told by his sister that
alio had developed tt great affection for
n well known scientist of humble
birth.
The peer scut for him and said
brusquely. "Now, sir, I should like to
know Fouicthlng about your family."
"I think It will be KiilTlcient." replied
the scientist, who was of Semitic ov
traction, "to say that I descended from
tho Illustrious blood of Abraham, Isaac
and .lacob."
The peer was taken aback. "Oh,"
be said, "of course, niy family has
nothing to compare with that. There

you'd better take her."
And the" scientist did.
