It ia estimated that about 800,000 new bicycles will be bought this year in the United States. Many old wheels will taken by dealers in exchange, but they will, be sold again to other customers, so A TEST BY COLLEGE PROFESSORS, JTorty-Flve Elephants Terrorised by One Llt- tle Rodent The Baa Beasts Became 'Hysterical and Exhibited Greats Suffer- Ins Animals' Moral Weakness, The experiment made by a party of scien tific men, including several Yale and Columbia professors, -to settle the.

question whether, elephants' are terrorized by rats and has' been satisfactorily carried out. The elephants, forty-five in number, were rendered temporarily insane by the presence of a rat tied to the end of a string on which one of these humane gentlemen kept tight hold, and vvery nearly wrecked the circus headquarters where the "performance" was given last week. It was a most diverting exhibition. The terrified rat sbrjeked and uttered plaintive squeaks, while the huge beasts became as hysterical as any woman under similar conditions. Not having a chair or table to mount, they were forced to liet down and curl their feet under their bodies, lifting their trunks in agony to that heaven which is believed to watch over the fall of the sparrow and is eognizant all suffering dumb animals.

But this party of enlightened spectatore found pandemonium had been aroused by their pretty, little test of elephant cowardice. The most agile flew to adjacent heights of hay bales, while the circus keep ers tried in vain to calm the terrified crea tures, so fearful in their senseless alarm about one little rodent. But had these poor captives exercised a little of that intel ligence with which they are endowed, they might have turned and trampled these Yale and- Columbia professors, as well a the rat, to death. Fortunately for the profes sors, these pachydermo were too much oo cupied with their own feelings to "go for" science, according to accepted elephantine rules. But had the experiment been tried in their native land, not a single victim would ever forget the men who did them such a wrong.

That noble elephant in Rudyard Kipling's story remembered, and he wis no exception to his species. 'The uselefesness of proving or disproving an animal's moral weakness, as it were, seems to be. borne out by this rat experiment. Our age is devoted to. discoveries of every sort; there is much necessary cruelty in volved in pursuance of scientific research, but to wilfully torture the sensibilities of any creature, merely to test the truth of a common belief, is degrading to humanity.

If cats and dogs and guinea' pigs must be vivisected, that the lives of men may be saved, well and good. But, there is brutal ity in this willingly witnessing torture- first, the distress of the elephant, then the distress of the rat, and lastly Its extino- tion by the greater beast -that is no less than what the savage delights in, and it proclaims man's Inherent cruelty with shameful truth. How much has the civilized Christian world advanced when such a trial as was viewed in Bridgeport affords amusement. For there is little that is "funny" in experimenting with animals Incapable of 'reasoning upoa the object of their tormentors, and especially needless also, when the result must be confirmatory of a long established fact. A cock fight or a dog fight is quite as elevating an illustration of certain "scientific" theories, but either is compared with, this "playful torture" of Mr.

Bailey's elephants, which involved the destruction of harmless "small deer," like mice and guinea pigs Natural history is a most Interesting study, and the biologist doubtless craves "experi ments," but animals have rights that should that the-total expenditure for bicycl'js will not fall below the aggregate value of three quarters of a million new wheels. That means a sum probably not less than $50, ooo.ooo. i The" Cleveland Leader figures that the money which will be spent for bicycles will equal the cost of average bouses: It will" be the price of as much wheat as Ohio produce in two good years. The output of the bicycle factories will call for as much money as the gold mines of the entire country will this year. They will bring the price of half the anthracite 'coaL' in the primary inarkets, and it would take the net earnings of six or seven, railroads Jiie the Lake Shore.

Michigan Southern io buy the wheels that will be paid for, somehow, between now. and next fall. i souri took its place. The only change since 'then is the shifting of Illinois and Ohio in 1890. North which persisted in holding a good position for four decades has now dropped to the sixteenth' place, and Virginia, which held out until 1880, has gone to the 'fifteenth.

Massachusetts is just outside the pale. It has ranked as -seventh and bur is now back to sixth place again. Tennessee, which made a good showing in 1840 and 1850, is now No. 13. The table gives a very clear idea of the gradual decline of the southern states in relative strength.

By 1800 Ten-nessee had dropped to tenth and North. Carolina to twelfth, Indiana was' sixth, Masaachuseta seventh, Missouri eight, and Iowa eleventh. In! 1890 the first dozen states were: New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois. Ohio Missouri, Massachusetts, Texas, Indiana, Michigan, Iowa, Kentucky, and Georgia, The Penn Treaty Elm. Eighty-six years ago the old elm tree under is was said William Penn made al treaty with the Indians in, 1683 was blown down during a- heavy wind storm, For many years it was supposed thatj every vestige of the historical old tree had "forever disappeared from the face of the earth.

But such has' proved not to be the for Governor Hastings will on the afternodn of Arbor Day, April 10, plant on the campus of the TJniversity'of Pennsylvania a shoot from a shoot of the original tree. The planting will be; part of the Interesting program prepared 'for the observation of the day by the forestry Association of Pennsylvania. The story of the little tree, which will be placed In the ground by the latest Gov' ernor Of Pennsylvania in memory of the first! William Penn, 'is most interesting one.l The old elm, which stood on the banks of the Delaware, was' a noble tree, according to all descriptions of it. When the great Wind storm of 1810 came the old elmjgave way under tne. strain and crashed to the It was taken away, and in all probability was burned up'for Later, the ground- on which" the tree had stood came into the.

possession of the- an oestbra ot General Paul A. Oliver, of Wilkesbarre. They found that a shoot whith had sprung up where-the old tree had stood was in a flourishing condition. This shoot was removed to a farm at Bay. Ridge, New Tork, which also belonged to the Oliver- amilt.

There it grew undisturbed for fifty years, and became almost as large as the first tree, General Oliver, who Is a great enthusiast on the subject of forestry, de termined to move-the child of the famous elm to his place on Wilkesbarre Mountain. So he had the tree carefully dug up. Its roots were then encased in heavy bagging, and! it was taker! down to New York on a sledge. )A lighter bore-it across the bry to the Jersey Central depot, where it was placed on two cars. The axles of one of the cara.

broke down, and it was necessary io get anotner At last, however, It reached Wilkesbarre and was witi special care by General Oliver. in Us ewiiorne It grew, and is now a most beautiful specimen of the elm" family. It is from this tree that the shoot comes which General Hastings is to plant. A PRICELESS GIFT. Difference Between the Potato In It Will State and the Cultivated Article.

The potato belongs to a familv of nlanta botanically. known as the Solanaceae, whlchlncludes the deadly nlchtshade and other poisonous plants. The juice of its own leaves and stems, and even 'of tha skl4 of its tubers, are slightly poisonous. In ita native state the plant is small, and mej xuDers rareiy exceed the size of watnus or. common cnestnut.

They are alscj of a moist, waxy consistence, and have a slightly bitterish taste. The color of the blossoms is generally white, instead of he red and purple hues of the culti vated sorts. ape tubers are not the root of. the plant, are true nnderground stems, andi their use in nature appears to be to afford another means of propagating the plants beside that of the eeds, which are contained in the fruit or apple. tubers contain germinating points or ieyes, just aa aerial stems have leaf from which youjug shoots spring forth.

These tubers after their maturity are washed out of the sou by rams and carried by the torrents along the crevices of the rocks and into the Intervening valleyst where they take root and give rise to new plants. By the, careful, cultivation of man. how ever, a new use has been devekmed in tnem. xnese small waxy and bitter tub ers have been swelled out into large farinaceous, palatable potatoes, one single stem producing many pounds' weight of a -sort oT food nearly resembling and little in ferior to that: of wheat or oats or barlev. Never was such a gift bestowed on man since Ceres is fabled first to have brought tne grains irom.

I 9 Cleveland Celebrated Ills X-ast Birthday Anniversary In the Whits) Hons. This is the last birthday Cleveland will celebrate In the White llouse. his term ex piring before his next anniversary rolls around. Fifteen years ago Grover Cleveland was a modest, unassuming lawyer in Buffalo, little known, except hj the bar, outside of that city. In the fall of that year he was elected mayor of Buffalo; tte next fall, governor of New York, and two years later pres-dent of the United States.

For at least a dozen years his name has been.oftener on the lips of Americans, or of Europeans when speaking of America, than that of any other citizen of. the United States, The only possible exception, while he lived, was James O. Blaine. Mr. Cleveland was mayor at governor at 45, and president, the first time, at 47.

At 69 he la still president, serving his last year. His remarkable political career will close before he is 60. Levi P. Morton, Who Is 13 years Cleveland's senior, is looking ahead, full or hope, to the taking' np of cares which' Cleveland is about to lay down. Syracuse Neva.

A CALIFORNIA CURIOSITY. The Glgantlo Granite Head at Point Pino), tin Monterey County. On the tip end of Point Plnos, in Monterey county, California, is on of the most-curious natural rock formations In, the State. It is Interesting because It Is so natural. Viewed in any position from the landslde it looks like a gigantic stone carving of a man's head.

Tbe exact location -of the rock Is about 600 feet from the Point Plnos lighthouse in a northerly direction. At low tide it Is high out of water, and at high tide all the profile shows but the lower part ot the chin; There is no effort of the Imagination required to see a man's is as plain as any statue ever carved. It is so perfectly "blocked as sculptors say, that it Is bard to believe it is not tbe work of human hands. The character of the head is that of a strong, vigorous man. Tb hair ia pushed back from the forehead and the mustache la In the style the early German soldiers.

Fractures In the rock In just the right places form the eyes and nostrils, and a projection makes a perfect ear. The -head seems to be' reclining I backward, and the eye Is partly closed, giving an easy and graceful expression to the face. The head Is composed of granite, although the formation nearby la some sort of meta-phorlo rock. It Is light gray in color and so hard that it will most likely stand the seas that sweep ever it for centuries to come. Holidays for Stenographers.

And, by the way, speaking of stenographers, there is a large downtown insurance concern, that allows its stenographers in addition to the gaturday half-holiday a weekly half-holiday for shopping. And now the other stenographers who have heard of this are thinking of getting up a great big petition for a similar privilege, Ope little' black-eyed maiden who has signed this petition ha taken the trouble to look np th holidays for the ensuing year, Much to her disgust she finds that nearly all come on Saturday. She has gone further still, and baa figured eat that in '9? most of the holidays come on Sunday. I is Just as bad," she remarked with a pretty pout, "for the chances are that they may be celebrated on Saturday." 'And, now she's thinking of adding a pro-" vlso to the petition, requesting that the' regular Saturday half-holiday be given on Friday for the ensuing two years, N. YL Evening World.

i The Early Potato. In France the potato was placed on the royal table aa early as 1616. But it was- an apothecary named Pannentier' who really i introduced it and did all he could a century and a half later. In X771 a prise Was offered by the academy of Besan-con for the discovery of a new food which should fill the place of cereals in case of a famine. Parmentier exhibited his Louis XVI gave him 50 morgen of land wherein to plant them.

Hia majesty also stuck the flowers of the potato in his buttonhole as a bouquet. Antoinette placed them her hair in evening. Fashion ran wild after similar decorations. Parmehtier's place was inundated by princes, dukes and high functionaries. All Paris talked only of potatoes and Parr mentier.

The king said to the latter; "France will thank you some time hepcei because you have found bread for the -New York Herald. The Blaekfish and the Crab. Crabs are among the things that the blackfish feeds upon, and although the blackfish Is' not the liveliest 'fish in the water, it captures crabs with considerable ease. Somtimes tbe blackfish attacks the crab in front; the 'crab is a fighter, and it doesn't hesitate to pitch into the blackfish; there is many a blackfish swimming around in the ocean "with a scar left on its nose by a blue crab's claws; but usually the blackBsh attacks the crab from the rear. The crab's muscles centre in the back of its shell, and one bite through that destroys its power.

Sometimes the blackfish that has caught a crab in this way jams it against the bottom to kill It or to i get a better hold. The crab has sporting blood, he's full of it, but he succumbs to the superior weight Sun. 1 A Dangerous Habit, Sleeping and dreaming in a barber's thair lost a man the tip of his nose in Ban Francisco the other day. The man dropped into the barber shop to get a and as his face being lathered fell asleep. The barber continued to shave his sleeping customer gently.

Suddenly the sleeper struck out right and left with his fists, presumably at some dreamland foe. His right fist struck the. razor and drove its keen, blade through the end of hia nose. This awakened him with a start, and after a hasty explanation the man picked up the piece of his nose and ran to the city and county hospital. The surgeon stitched the piece of nose on where It belonged, and there is a fair show of its growing in place or more or less in place.

New York Sun. The Compass Plant- The "compass plant" one of the oldest creations of the vegetable "kingdom, It derives its name from tbe fact that its leaves: always point directly north and south. So, if you are, out on a western prairie and lose your way "just look for one of these plants and remember that they always point in' the directions indicated. Botanists call this curious "plant "Selphlum Laciniatum." It is unpretentious in appearanee and bears yellow flowers that are not unlike, field daisies. It has a remarkably thin leaf, ao thin to be noticeable even to the untutored eye.

The "compass plant" is really a western flower I and is indigenous to the prairies of that section. 1 1 0 ST Li if aa. A QUESTION OF GRANDFATHERS. Which One of Them Bhoold Have the Preference The Usages Laid Down by at Sellable Authority on Heraldry and Correspondence. "But then there- is the question grand fathers," urged the little matron, in Jenness Miller's Magazine.

"Which grandfather should have the preference, and which eoats-of-arms should I adopt the grandfather I own by birth or the grandfather ot my husband? Shall I the crest of my father on my notepaper or bear the arms of my husband's house There are ever so many good people 'from Arcadia who want to of these small matters of social usage. There are so many good people in society whose notepaper and cards are matters of eyebrow lifting com ment, when a -consultation with a re liable authority on heraldry and the etiquette of cards and correspondence would have assured correctness. hark ye to the laws or unmarried woman bears her paternal arms In a lozenge emblazoned on her station ery. Upon her marriage her crest becomes incorporated with that of ber husband on an escutcheon, and the two are used together. If, however, her has no claim to a crest, she may properly retain the paternal coat-oi-arms.

la a significant decoration. one to be proud of, and heraldry is receiving an unprecedented amount of attention in this country now that tbe multiplication of socle-, ties ot the descendants of distinguished an- cestors Is leading to a general ransacking' of zamiiy history. To have search made through the dim agea for the armorial insignia which' belongs to one, by. 'right' of ancestral 'descent is a costly But in New Tork, Boston, In Philadelphia and all the large cities, there are Jewelry and stationery shops which have special departments of heraldry for tbe con venience of their patrons, and, besides, there are scholars of heraldry, ''pursuivants of arms," in the technical phrase, who make a profession of genealogical research and the hunting of family arms. Once discovered, the engraving of the arms Is a -comparatively simple matter, A good seal engraver will produce an artlstlo crest for from 10 to (33.

the price depending upon the -of work involved in the design. The printing of the crest en stationery In a single color will cost I cent per sheet, and an additional cent oer sheet tor each additional color in the design. A design, there-I fore, which calls for a rest printed in three colors will cost 9 cents for each sheet of note paper on which It la printed. When is no coat-of-arms to be bad by preference, the monogram la a very attractive bit of Individuality when stamped on a woman's notepaper. Not long since, bold.

big, bright letters stood out coosplclously on fashionable notepaper, and the monogram was readable at a yard's length. One of the favorite monograms consisted ot long-legged, sprawly letters, making a fully an men' square at the head of the sheet, and the effect was not unlike a trade mark. The era of the consplqious monogram Is over. There la a certain latitude for individual taste. but the quiet taste is now the best form.

The correct Style for the monogram Is. a design; enclosed' fn a circle, the circle being occa sionally surmounted with a bow knot. The whole design should not be over half an Inch in diameter. Within this radius It Is remark able what fine detail In script Is produced. The tiny monogram is also the appropriate seal stamp.

A monogram Is by far the most convenient and practicable decoration, though tbe woaan who has an address line printed at tbe bead ot ber note sheet, instead, saves herself considerable pen work. A tONG TRANCE. Johnson's Awakening from His Thirty-Days' Hypnotic bleep in Coffin, The Imperial, theatre, adjoining the Royal Aquarium, was crowded last night Mr, Frlcker awoke Johnson after hls 80 days hypnotle trance. The subject was brought on tbe stare In a huge box, somewhat resembling a coffin. Mr.

Frlcker, addressing the audience, stated that Johnson was placed in the trance on January 21, and bad "remained In thevtrance room In a deep trance ever since. The trance Itself was produced by hypnotism, and, though he did not think he would be successful with every one, yet be undertookto place- three out of four persons In suchr a state. Tbe average temperature 97.38. and the pulse about P0. The lowest temperature was 08.4 and the highest Vs-o.

The man hadbeen watehed night and day and had been subjected -to various Johnson, who had been a soldier, had lost about 10 pounds in weight. A gentleman In the stalls, gave his name as Brocklehurst, said he was 'prepared to swear on oath that as Johnson was being pnt-on the stage he opened bis eyes, and closed them rapidly, ffo one, replied Mr. Frlcker, had seen him do this during the trance. There was an uproar when another person said he, saw his eyes open. Pespit the hypnotist's explanation that it was hardly possible, Mr.

Brocklehurst, amid considerable opposition, declared: "He certainly looked at mo and closed his eyes very rapidly." A needle having been placed under one of Johnson's finger, nails to show that ht was still Insensible to pain, the subject was awakened, but was In too feeble a condition to raise himself until some time bad Westminster Gasetta. A Yankee Hostler. Tankee hustle has perhaps rarely been beW ter exemplified than In the ease of a sewing machine agent who ia exploiting in the vicinity of Dover, Me. A week or so ago ha tackled a house In which 'lived an old bachelor who, hadn't a sewing machine. The agent was persistent and the bachelor obdurate, until finally the latter said be positively wouldn't 'buy a machine unless a woman to run It was also provided.

Theq the agent hunted around, and Id six weeks had found an elderly but excellent maiden lady, who had been waiting tor some good man to apeak out to her, and actually succeeded In getting her married to the bachelor. Then he made a sale of a machine, thought It might seem that he ought to have given one to the bride aa a present This story Is vouched for by the Maine papers, Sun. Transplanting Old and Young Trees. The transplanting of large trees has been tried very extensively in different countries, and the testimony of all experts Is that, while It Is sometimes successful. It Is yet a very costly and unsatisfactory transaction.

In our own experience, out of perhaps thirty large trees of different kinds with which the experiment was tried some twenty years ago, with most abundant care and a liberal disregard, of expense, one only is now living, and that not In a very flourishing condition. Take a young tree of a suitable size for transplanting, say five years of age or thereabouts, and at the end of twenty years you will bara a better result with It thaa you can have with an old tree; and the young tree will perhaps cost five dollars when planted, where the old one' will cost five hundred, Sun. Caeght a Whale In Hla He. The sharks drove a hump-backed whale Into the nets set-by, W. D.

Gort, of Capitola, recently, after giving him a merry chase for his life When they got the whale tied up, they left him and went off to seek other prey. Gori came down to his. nets In the morning, and found, instead of the bass for which he had set his nets, the whale, for which he had no partieular use. He and his man fonnd tha htmm-back a touirb. fellow to deal with, and finally Cad to resort dynamite, which was driven into him with a pointed gas pipe.

Tbe huge fish, which waa over forty feet long, dropped Immediately to- the bottom of the bay as soon aa tbe explosion occurred, carrying the net with him. The seine was worth about one hundred dollars, and the oil to be secured will not cover half the cost.
