ELANDS TO BE IMPORTED.
Plan to Introduce South African An
imals Into the Southwest
ern States.
The introduction of elands into
this country is likely to he at
tempt before long, the department
of agriculture having given its ap
proval to the idea. All that is
needed is money, which congress
will be asked to give, says the Sat
urday Evening Post. The animals,
which are the largest of all ante
lopes, would be very valuable in
the desert regions of the south
west as a source of meat supply.
They require almost no water, are
accustomed to forage for them
selves, and are quite tractable.
The eland is nearly six feet high
at the shoulder when full grown,
and weighs 1,000 pounds. It is
not particularly swift (unlike most
of its congeners), and a man can
sometimes overtake it by running.
Its flesh is considered a delicacy.
Commonly it browses in herds in
the waterless deserts of South Af
rica. to which it is native, its abil
ity to get along for months to
gether w ithowt water being a mys
tery. To some extent, doubtless,
it depends upon moisture derived
from succulent plants, such as thi
wild watermelon.
There are t wo varieties of eland,
one being reddish in color, and the
other (known as the Livingston
eland) striped. It is one of about
200 species of antelopes found in
South Africa, when1 animals of
this genus seem to have undergone
the most extraordinary differen
tiation. Some of them are the
swiftest runners of all animals,
and certain kinds are so wild and
wary that hunters cannot possibly
get within gunshot of them unless
by the help of what is known as an
artificial ostrich—a Hottentot
contrivance, consisting of the skin
of an ostrich arranged to disguise
a man, who holds the head of the
supposed bird aloft by means of a
stick thrust through the net k.
Elands are becoming scarce in
Pouth Africa. Though they seem
to be the most desirable species for
importation into this country,
there are others which might be
valuable—notably the springbok,
which is a graceful creature less
than three feet in height, of a beau
tiful fawn color, a prolific breeder,
and suited to the conditions, cli
matic and otherwise, of the arid
regions of Arizona. Xew Mexico
and southern California.
TESTING CHRONOMETER.
Delicate Timepieces Kept on Ice for
Months for Accurate Ad
» justment.
Each year the chronometers of
the United States navy are sub
jected to a test to determine their
accuracy and to correct any irreg
ularities. This operation com
mences in .January and usually
lasts until the middle of June, and
during that time these delicate
timepieces are kept on ice at the
United States naval observatory.
It is not for any fear that they will
spoil that they are subjected to
this frigid experience, but it is nec
essary for the purpose of accurate
adjustment that they should all be
maintained in a constant temper
ature.
The necessity of having a ship’s
clocks all absolutely alike will be
realized by the layman when lie is
reminded that an error of four sec
onds in the chronometer means an
error of a mile in calculating the
vessel's location. The tempera
ture varies at different times of
the test from 50 to !Mt degrees and
the losing or gaining qualities of
the chronometer under these eon
ditions are accurately kept. Thus
with a chart expressing in curves
just what lie may expect from his
chronometer under different con
ditions of climate, and, with his
thermometer and barometer close
at hand, a sailing master may cal
culate to a nicety the correct time
and get his location to a certainty

Balloonists say that birds’

fALK WITH A KAFFIR CHIEF
Much Is Expressed by Orunts and
Short Exclamations—Mak
ing the Chief See.
The amount of greeting among
ordinary Kaffirs is to sav: ‘‘I see
* •/
you;” to which answer comes
back: “Yes.” When a native
i passes a European in the uncivil
ized parts of the country, says Mr.
Dudley Kidd, in “The Essential
Kafir,” he will frequently antici
pate the white man's “I see you,”
iVid will start off with a loud
“Yes.”
Of all ways of expressing senti
ment, grunting is the favorite,
and the Kafir grunts with great
eloquence. Iiis simple grunt can
express a whole world of senti
ment. After hearing natives ex
press so much by grunting one
cannot avoid thinking that pigs
might learn to speak.
Kafirs have very many exclama
tions, such as “Vo!” when 1 hev
wish to show contempt; “Haul”
when they show surprise;
“Wow!” and many other similar
utterances.
In visiting a chief it is rude to
speak first. Accordingly, when we
visited a Kafir king we sat in si
lence and pretended not to see
him. At lengt h he looked up at us
and said: “I see you,” and the ice
was broken. We grunted approv
al of the sentiment and said the
proper things. When the ques
tions began to be a little too per
sonal we told our native servant
to fetch the blanket we had
brought with us in order to open
the chief's eyes.
When we gave the chief the
blanket he looked at it and gave a
grunt which was one of moderate
and guarded approval, lie felt
the qualities of the blanket with
his fingers, placed it to his skin to
see how warm it would l»e ; he then
showed It to his councillors and
asked them bluntly what they sup
posed it had cost When he was
satisfied that it was better than
any kept by local traders, he gave
another grunt of approval which
plainly safd: “Thanks; I think
that on the whole it is not bad: 1
have seen better, but it will do all
the same.”
Then he said in words: “Now
my eyes ore open and 1 can see
you.” In fun I began to chaff him
and said: “Well, if you can see us
now. will you tell us what you can
see ?”
“Swift as light came the an
swer: “I shall know what I see
when the night is cold and I wrap
the blanket about my body.”
A native never commits himself
if he can possibly help it. After a
little more desultory conversa
tion the chief thought it was time
to end the indaba, “to Item up the
fringes of the talkwith the thread
made from the sinew of tin ox.” as
their expressive phrase runs. Ko
we hemmed it up.

AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
Formerly the Public Could Look Directly
Into the Kitchen.
The ground-glass window-panes of
i the white house kitchen arc a recent
innovation. One morning, says the
Woman's Home Companion, Senator
Hanna came upstairs to Mr. .McKin
ley’s office, and during his stay there
said: “Well, Mr. President, you are
goi.ng U> have an Irish stew for lunch
to-day.”
Of course the chief executive was
■ surprised that the senator should be
so well informed, and asked him bow
I he knew.
“Oil. my authority is first-hand,**
he replied. “As I came in 1 saw a
| party of sightseers very much inter
; esled in watching what was going on
down in the kitchen, -o 1 strolled
over io see what it was that enter
tained them, and found that it was
the cook making an Irish stew. She
did it. well; I’ve no doubt but that
it will he good,” he added, jocosely.
This gave Mr. McKinley a new
idea, and he asked Col. Bingham if
he did not think that the kitchen
might he made a little more secluded.
The ground-glass panes were the re
sult.
