'The. proceedings were most in- teresting - and -'exeiting. The ele- phants, about forty im number, were in a seething mass, and reminded one of a huge football scrimmage, {ghting and pushing, and never still for an instant. About 10 a.m. the gate leading into the stockade wus partially opened, and four huge tiisker koomkies, ridden by mahouts, entered the arena, followed by six large female elephants, also ridden by mahouts.

"The tusker showed fight the! whole time, tugging and straining at the ropes, until an enormous tusker 'koomkie,' his highness' Durbar ele- phant, charged him several times and severely punished him.

His strength seemed prodigious, and for a minute or two he held his own with the four leading elephants, but was eventual- ly dragged out and down to the river bank, the two elephants to which his hind legs were secured following.

Mystery Solved. Something of the mystery hitherto surrounding the development of the lobster dias been cleared up by Prof. Bouvier, of the Paris Natural His- tory Museum. The invetsigation was carried out dat the maritime labora- tory @t Plymouth, 'on the EngHsh const, where the lobstérs are abun- dant among the rocks, and the con- ditions for studylag them are favor- able. © The newly-hatchied creatures dro': guite different from those commonly known, Tn the larval state, they are very minute, quite transpar- ent, and their body--flat dnd leaf- like--has three pairs of swimmers. Between this and tbe adult condition #8 many as nine stages of transforma- tion have been 'observed. Rare speri- mens 'of so-called "'puerulus" hive been suspected of being lobsters in a youthful stage--about an inch long, trapsparént; and soft-shelléd "<'and this view has been confirmed by find- ing the next transformation in actual progress. The puerulus stage is that in which swimming 'is wiven up for quiet lodging in the rocks.' Growth and change ave rapid, and the evelu- of tion from the egg to the fully devel- oped lobsler seem: to be completed- in about two months, Big Ship Rolled Over. A Cape Town newspaper has re- ceived from a country correspondent information which possibly throws some light on the fate of the steam- Ship Waratah, which left Durban for Cape Town, en route to London on July 26, 1909, with 211 persons on board, and disappeared. A man walking the beach at Uys, a point eight miles northwest of Berd Island, on Jan, 6, picked up a blank bottle containing the following mes- sage: "Waratah, Sept. 6, 1909. Ship in great danger, rolling badly, will . probably roll right over. Captain go- ing to heave her to. If anything happens will whoever finds this com- municateée with my wife, 4 eliffe street, South Kensington, London. (Signed) John A. Hughes." The Waratah was a new steamship, built to ply between London and Sydney, Australia, and was réturning to England on her second voyage. Some who had made the trip out al- leged afterwards that she was top Heavy and rolled too much; that her boat deck was too high; that after she would roll over to an angle of 45 degrees, and was a long timeé coming back to mormal. ics Turtle Soup. According to some authorities, Bristol, Eng., has a special claim to fame as the city where turtle sohp was invented by a seventeenth cen- tury mayor who was miso a ship: owner, The captain of on: of his ships brought home a live turtle, thinking that bis worship vould like to have it tn his fishpond. This happened just as the mayor was aboul to give a civic banguet, and deeming that his guests might appreciate a new dish! ie ordered the turtle to be stewed. _ The edrporition were so delighted with the noveélly that they re-elected «thelr Host to the municipal hair nine times running. : Steyu's Great Dream Realized.
