"An elephant uses several original and effective methods of exterminating Its victims. It may rush upon a man. seize him in its trunk, beat him to death on tbe ground and before leav ing tear up tbe foliage for yards about There are many instance- of ele phants literally tearing their victims to piece. The story la told of an Eng lish oGlciai In TJgnn!:i who on noticing a "safari" passing Ktepped to the door to Inquire of the bead man the where about of hi muster. In response the black awum: a human arm before the olllflal and replied that a few days previous his master had been torn to pieces by uu elephant and that lie bad brought back tbe arm in proof of his assertion.

J. Alden Luring hi Outing. ? Gunpowder. Tbe explosion of gunpowder is divid ed Into three distinct stages, called tbe Ignition, inflammation und combustion. The Ignition is tbe setting on Are of the first grain, while the Inflammation Is tbe spreading of the flame over tbe surface of the powder from tbe point of Ignition. Combustion Is the burn ing up of each grain. ' Tbe value of gunpowder Is due to the fact that when subjected to sufficient beat it be comes a gas which expands with frightful rapidity. ' The so called ex plosion that takes place when a match is touched to gunpowder is merely a chemical change, during which there is a sudden evolution of gases from the original solid. It has been cal culated that ordinary gunpowder on exploding expands about 0,000 times or Alls a space this much larger aa a gas than when In a solid form.
