There are probably only three elephants In American circuses that can walk fifty feet on their hind legs. Elephants that are imported from India are strange and nervous at first and will not go to sleep lying down. One elephant in Noonan's family stood up six months before he became accustomed to his surroundings and And then there is Joseph McCar-rick. Coney Islander, who cherishes a still greater admiration for cats. Only the other day he saved the lives of several kittens.

Mr. Mc-Carrick has nothing in common with Albert Payson Terhune, who The Prince will spend the night some time ago wrote an essay en (rarpOn du's IFIXTON ST- BROOKLYN then decided to sleep on his side. Elephants, this observer was told, will learn much faster than monkeys. You can't fool an elephant with tobacco. It won't touch meat, hates fried eggs and despises all sorts of fish.

It likes plenty of hay, the coarser the better. And Noonan came out with the startling Information that his elephants, as well as many others, are more harmless than dogs or horses. And it's a myth about elephants liking peanuts. Give an elephant a piece of sugar or apple (of which they are very fond) and they'll discard their peanuts without hesitation. Elephants get excited when the7 see mice.

Noonan's elephants drink about three quarts of water at one time, averaging about 30 gallons a day. And it doesn't bother his elephant when the horses come up titled "Men Hate Cats Why?" Terhune wrote that "there is something about a cat that rouses an active distaste in the average man." Mr. McCarrick is the man who is ready to refute the Sunnybank writer's assertion. Mr. McCarrick has been a lover of cats a quarter of a century: and not only has he been a lover of felines but he has made it his business to see that all the cats that come his way are properly fed.

"I've fed more than a million cats during the last 25 years," declared Mr. McCarrick. He has cut out large holes in his establishment at the island so that cats may enter at all possible times. In winter and in summer these stray creatures pass into McCarrick's haven prepared to eat, sleep and be merry. Court Took Cognizance.

It is understood that a disagreement between lawyer ani client was amicably settled dnring the past week.

The will of Iso'bel Shirley, upheld after a four -day trial, made. Bradley the residuary legatee after making a numbrr of small bequests and two bequests to friends. Helen E. Wiesner of Long Island City, and two second cousins. Arthur Shirlej and Marion Shirley Irish, both residing in Connecticut, contested the will, alleging undue influence by Bradley, in whose home the ageJ spinster lived for a year prior tr her death on Aug.

29, 1928. Miss Wiesner alleged that Miss Shirley had promised to bequeath her $10,000. Various memoranda in the old woman's own handwriting proved to be the main support of the defense during the trial. One was an affectionate inscription on a photo of herself which she. made as a gift to Bradley.

Another was a note calling her brother, Arthur, who died in 1927, "the last of our family to go and leave me alone," which was construed as indicating that Miss Shirley had no intention of leaving any money to her cousins.

And when the case was brought to the attention of Federal Judge Mos-cowiti he made provisions so that room could be left in the padlocked inn for the stray cats to enter.

Everyone in Coney Island knows of McCarrick's penchant for cats.

They point him out as a cat-lover, a cat-admirer, and he is respected for his humane trait. He got a write-up in the Humane Magazine under the heading of "Who's Who in the Animal World." This is one of his proudest possessions. The prominent cat-admirer comes down to the seashore every day, winter and summer, and invariably is greeted by several dozen of them. They are fed not with scraps of meat and garbage but with prepared healthy rations. "Nearly every concessionaire has a cat hanging around his place in the summer time," McCarrick said, "and when the season is over many of theft forget completely about those cats.

They Wck their doors, put the shutters up and depart for the winter. But inside are these yowling, hungry cats without any prospect of getting out. Frequently I have had to call upon the police department to open the stands and let out the starving creatures. I've taken them to my place and fed them."

MB Aft Ma8 OfiTTf Philadelphia, July 25 Philadelphia basks Jn 18 percent more than New York has, Dr. Frank H. Krusen, associate dean of the school of medicine of Temple University, said today. He has been making readings of a sunlight-measuring machine on top of the medical school for several weeks, comparing his data with New York figures. "River smoke and mists from the hay are responsible for New York's low sunlight figure," said Dr.

Krusen. "Then, again, Philadelphia does not have so concentrated an area of factories belching smoke as New York has.

Dan Noonan has been training elephants or "bulls," as they are termed around the circus lots, tyr more than two decades. His Elephants are worth about (four of them) and he carries liability Insurance on each one. No insurance company, It appears, will offer life insurance on elephants. A human being lives just as long as an elephant, Noonan says. Several other interesting points about elephants were brought out by him.

Very few elephants, if any, will take orders from women trainers. An elephant act with a woman in it generally requires the presence of a man to prod each animal. Women generally pose with them and let the men dn the ordering. Elephants feel superior to women, and a perfectly good elephant act is disrupted the moment A splendid variety in plain colors, fancy mixtures, fancy, blues, rich browns, cool greys, hairline stripes, new every one in excellent taste.
