Royal Hobby of Ferdinand of Bulgaria. e Sovereigns of Europe have, and have had, some curious hobbies. The classic instance is, of course, "Citizen" Capet, who made watches and locks better than he could rule; and to-day, amongst others, the Kaiser has a dis: tinct penchant for carpentry, while what King Christian does not know about the printer's craft is not worth knowing, says a despatch from Sofia to the London Standard. It has remained, however, for King Ferdinand, of Bulgaria, to take up the strangest pastime of all--animal train. ing. A little: while ago the King, tir- ing of the ordinary methods of reliev- ing his mind from.the cares of State, invested in four elephants. And now he spends all his spare time teaching his glant pets all that an educated ele- phant is required to know. The four beasts are housed at a farm on the outskirts of Sofia, and every day King Ferdinand spends an hour or so with them, superintending their toilet and training them. The King has brought his usual zeal and enthusiasm to bear on his hobby, 'and the ocneegnence is that his ele- phants would -do credit to a profes- sional trainer. Not only do the pachy- derms recognize their royal master when he visits them, but they can do several tricks at his bidding. The King is very proud of his pets, and whenever his Court is visited by any- one of distinction the royal guest is sure to be taken to the farm to ad- mire the great beasts at their work and play. Sor rt HER MOTHER-IN-LAW ~ Proved a Wise, Good Friend. young woman found a wise, _ friend in her mother-in-law, notwithstanding. -She writes : "I was greatly troubled with my stomach, complexion was blotchy and yellow. After meals I often suffered sharp pains and would have to lie down. My mother often told me it was the coffee I drank at meals. But when I'd quit coffee I'd have a severe headache."" (Tea con- tains the same poisonous drug, caf- feine, as coffee). : . "'While visiting my mother-in-law I remarked that she always made such good coffes, and asked her to tell me how.

For a long time it was supposed that the noise of thunder was caused by he Slosing up of the vacuum created y the passage of the lightning, the alr rushing in from all sides with a clap; but the intensity of the noise is rather disproportionate, and it is now thought that thunder is due to the intense heating of gases, espe- cially the gas of water vapor along the line of electric discharge, and the consequent conversion of suspended moisture into steam at enormous pres- sure. In this way the crackle with which a peal of thunder sometimes Intense "| begins might be regarded as the sound of steam explosion on a small scale caused by discharges before the main flash. The rumble would be the over- lapping steam explosions, and the final clap, which sounds loudest, would be the steam explosion nearest to the auditor. In "the case of rumbling thunder the lightning is passing from cloud to cloud. When the flash passes from the clouds to the earth thé clap is loudest at the beginning. One in- vestigator has given substance to these suppositions by causing electric flashes to pass from point to point through terminals clothed in soaked coarse wool, and he succeeded in mag- nifying the crack of the electric spark to a startling extent. It is quite pos- sible that further experiments will add to his findings. re The Death Warrant Delivered No de'ence can be offered when you apply Putnam's «w 2 sore corn--the of- fender has to dle.

Bleven miles south-east of London, in Kent, a few years ago were discov- ered the catacombs. of the ancient Druids, which are now much vigited by sightseers and are lighted, for a part at least, by electric lights. Over fifty miles of chambers cut in the chalk cliffs have already been explored. The Druids lived in these catacombs when attacked by their northern enemies, and here they buried many of their dead. The stone on which the human - sacrifices were made is still to be seen, and also the well, from which water is drawn to this day. Kidneys Cured or Money Back There is no risk in buying GIN PILLS.
