When some aceptio called for the documents, on this story, it came out that the original narrator might have been quite truthful. Dogs do kick up a racket at the banks of streams, for the purpose of drawing crocodiles to that spot; but they do it at the hidding of their masters, the nation, and scampor away after them to a place in the stream where they may all plunge in together and gross in safety. The laugh is on the orocodiles at any mate, and the dogs certainly do their part in putting it there.

After that there could be peace or war all round. But the notion of inviting India to nanex it and administer it would, from every point of view, be far beyond Russia's means, considering the vast task she has assumed and the vast aime she cherishes in other parts of the world.

officer thought ought to make itself noticeable, as he soberly judged the bull to be about seven feet tall, although when it was rushing at him it looked as big as a house. At about this time, curiously, a pair of elephant taks, each six feet long, reached the Santaian customs, for sale or bipment. A Chinese trader from Semporna said he had got them from a native, who had found a dead elephant. The tuska
were speciully fine ones, and the rader expected to sell them for ten skillings per catty. They weighed 5 cutties, nearly il pounds, and at the trader's price would yield 275 local dollars. from $130 to 3185 gold. The animal

Everybody has experience with crocodiles, They make some of the streams dangerous for small boata. It is not uncommon for a croco- dila to steni up behind a boat containing several natives, lift a paddler out by the arm, and make off with him. There is no use in looking a
erocodile straight in the sye, expecting him to back sway. He has never heard of that surp means of sowing hons and tigers; and besides he likes to do things his own way. A native surprised by a crocodile is said to fall instantly under the sort of spell that a suke casts over a bird, becoming utterly powerless to move or to ery out. The srecodile may indulge his appetite piecemeal or ni bulk. So far as may be judged. the natural preference of this destroyer was for Busloodcopy, upon which it fastened and in

While one of the men was at work on the trap the spellbinder appeared, and the man stood still and helpless. The other two coolies attacked with their spears, and the crocodle swam off with the spears in his buck. Since the man spellbound soon recovered and nothing has since happened to him, Haji stands ready to make affidavit that the crocodile is dead, Mr. Pearson knowa about the tricks of the imagination; nervous fright, and each things, but he says he has no doubt that many people who have visited or resided here could tell experiences which would be received at an English dinner table with a a quiet, polite "How very strange" and meaning smile.

Neither dog nor boar sems to know enough to recognise the difference between a log of wood on the bank of a stresin and a crocodile playing possum there. They have no time to know anything after one
