I think the stories of "Toby Tyler," "The Moral Pirates," and "The Cruise of the 'Ghost'" are very nice, and I hope the story of "Tim and Tip" will be equal to any of the three. Another boy will write on the rest of this sheet.

I have a velocipede, and so has Eddie G. He and I are great friends, and we have nice times together. We have some pigeons at our house, but we intend to give them away. We have given away all our chickens. We had three canaries, but one flew away, and my mother is afraid the cat got it.

Seeing the article in No. 93 on "How the Baby Elephant Eats Pea-Nuts," I thought I would write and tell you of a nut-cracker which I discovered in the same show that contained the "baby." My father and I were watching a number of the larger elephants hunting for pea-nuts thrown in the straw, when I saw one of them who, if he found a nut, would take it up with his trunk, and rub it against his leg until the shell was cracked, after which he proceeded to eat the kernel. I am glad C. H. Williamson has accepted the presidency of the Natural History Society. I for one am entirely in favor of admitting girls.

Your interest in the article about the baby elephant, and your own observation of the way the baby's big brother managed his pea-nuts, prove that you will be a good member of the society. Some of our boys and girls are, we fear, waiting to be very dignified before they send any letters with regard to what they have seen. Some wish to send a long report. The better way is to write about interesting things, one at a time, just as they are noticed.
