There is reason to tippre- hend, Mt no great distance of time, the total disappearance from the animal c.rc:ition of the elephant.

This is owing, to the enormous destruction of these grand old beasts, which hiis been and is still going OP. year after year, i'or purpo- sesjof commerce, for self-protection, and for mere sport. In a single province oi Ceylon over three thousand five hundred elephants were killed three years by the natives for the sake of a few shillings- bounty per head. Many tliousands are annually destroyed in India and Africa for the sake of the ivory, the demand for which is so great that to supply the manufactures of Sheffield alone pcquires the slaughter of over twenty and elephants every year. The elephant is not prolifiic, its rates of increase being less than that of man.

At a state dinner, ojice, the Count wishing to show off his knowledge of English classics, asked a friend of mine which passage he admired most in the great poet. Jly friend, somewhat aback, could think, for the moment, of only one passage, and that was where Othello, about to murder Desdc- mona, says, "Put out the light, put nut the light;" and this he repeated with due emphasis, and good expression.

Tbe light produced is of a clear white, somewhat similar to that produced by the beras, and of such brilliancy that, in. the open air a person can read distinctly by its aid.

The glare, however, is visry strong, and it is thought it will be difficult to modifiy it sufficiently to use in dwellings, assembly halls, or theaters; but for the purpose of lighting streets and public thoroughfares it will be a considerable improvement on the present system of lighting by gas.
