Col. Pollock, in Sports in British
Burmah,'' gives the following partieu-
lars about the elephant which will be
new to most readers: elephants when
asleep snore good deal, and have
often seen them use foot for pillow,
on which to rest their head. They are
very human-like in many ways. They
get piece of wood and use it as a
toothpick. They will plug a wound
with clay. They scratch themselves
with the tip of their trunk. and if they
cannot reach the part, they take up a
small branch and use that. AS rule,
they are frightened at fire; but an ele-
plant of the battery at Assam used to
help put on: fires. and she would do
what I never saw any other animal of
her kind do, and that was, after fallen
buffalo's throat had been cut through
all but the vertebra, when told to do
SO she would put her foot on the neck.
twist her trunk round the horn, and
hand it up. Some few of them viii hand
up birds after being shot, but they don't
usually like touching dead bodies"
