I It was soon surrounded and a demand for its surrender made.

Corse refused and in a little while a hot battle was in progress. Al- though many of his men were killed, Corse still held out and retired tct the little fort at the top, which he prepared to defend to the last. In the meantime Sherman had started north from Atlanta In hot haste to save the pass from being captured. Just as Corse was beginning to despair of holding out against the attack of the grayjack- ets, an officer called his attention to a white flag that was being frantically waved from the summit of Kenesaw mountain, lo miles away. This signal was answered, and then the heartening message was waved from mountain to mountain: the fort: I am coming.

General Corse was shot through the head three times, but undismayed by the fall of their leader the men of Minnesota and Illinois fought on for three hours more until Sherman came to their relief.

Big Game Vanishing From Belgian Congo It is reported that 30,000 male elephants are being killed every year in the Belgian Congo, and the native custom of elephant trapping has resulted in the death of a large i number of female and young ele- phants without tusks and therefore useless for the' ivory market.

Na-; tives were leaving agricultural work In order to look after elephant traps, which captured, of course, all classes of elephants and not merely ivory bearers. As a result the breed is being reduced, the average weight of tusks being eight pounds less today than before the World war. Hippopotami and rhinoceroses, gorillas and antelopes were also fast disappearing from certain districts, while certain varieties of small and gay-plumaged birds, formerly plentiful in the Congo, are now seldom seen except on women's hats.
