A GOOD ELEPHANT SHOOT.
Two Pachyderms Brought Down
With Two Successive Shots in
CeyIOn

Two Pachyderms Brought Down
With Two Successive Shots in
Ceylon.
London Field.
We were elephant hunting in Ceylon.
After about three-quarterS of an hours
very careful stalking we got up to
within view of an elephant. When
within ten yards | could make out the
elephants head-the notified marks on
his forehead were clearly visible as he
turned toward me. Be had evidently,
from his behavior, not winded us, which
was curious. Had he done SO he would
have charged, or, which is more likely,
have bolted off panic-Strieken. | saw
splendid chance of the front shot, and
drawing careful sight on him, squeezed
the trigger of the right barrel.
The smoke from the heavy charge of
powder for few seconds hung about in
the close air and thick bushes t0such an
extent that L could not know at once
what the result of the shot was. Just
as the smoke cleared / saw my elephant.
as thought, in the same place, and
fired my left barrel at him. This time
an unmistakable sound told me that he
was down. Another brief space of q
few moments, and | saw that there were
two elephants on the ground before me.
The first elephant was perfectly dead.
He had sunk quietly down OIL his knees
and was resting on all tours, with his
trunk partly curled under him.
The second elephant had also fallen
on his knees, and his body was pressed
against that of the first elephant. 1t
was not quite dead. and the trunk was
slightly swaying to and fro, but two
bullets from the fowlingpiece put it out
of its agony. Both of these elephants
were full grown. The one killed with
the first shot was an old bull, standing,
as near as we could measure it. eigh
feet at the shoulder. The second was a
full-grown COW. about seven feet in
height. The interval between the two
shots was very brief-oEly a few sec
onds of time-but in that interval the
cow, which must have been close to the
bull. had come and stood close to its
fallen mate.
Before firing 1 saw one elephant only
the buii-and had no idea that any
other elephant was close by; but this
may be explained from the fact that the
place was thick. bushy jungle. Both
animals were killed with the first shot
The only part OF this incident which
may be said to be curious is that the
second elephant, the female, should
have stood <here she did after the first
shot had been fired.
The case is not without precedent in
the annals of elephant shooting in Cey-
Ion. Some thirteeE or fourteen years
ago, to the best of my recollection, Mr..
Ellis. of the Ceylon civil service, shot

DIKES OF HOLLAND.
When Those Banks Spring Leak
Terrible Results Nav Follow.

A certain jealous dame is said to have
once attempted to sweep the ocean
away with broom. The Dutch have
been wiser than this. They are slow
and deliberate people. Desperation
may use brooms, but deliberation pre-
fers clay and solid masonry. So, slowly
and deliberately, the bikes, those great
hill-like walls of cement and stone,
have risen to breast the buffeting waves.
And the funny part of it is they are so
Skillfully slanted and waved on the out
side with fiat stones that the efforts of
the humping waves to beat them down
only make them all the firmer!
Those Holland bikes are among the
wonders of the world. | cannot say for
how many miles they stretch along the
coast and throughout the interior, writes
Mary Mapes Dodge in ST. Nicholas, but
You may be sure that wherevea dixie
is necessary to keep back the encroach-
ing waters there it is. Otherwise moth
ing would be there. at least nothing in
the form of land; nothing but fearful
illustration of the law of hydrostatics-
water always seeks the level.
Sometimes the dikes. however care
fully built, will "spring Leak" and il
not attended to at once terrible results
places guards are stationed at intervals,
and steady watch is kept up night and
day. AT the first signal of danger every
Dutchman within hearing of the start
ling bell is ready to rush to the rescue.
When the weak spot is diSc0vere what
do you think is used to meet the
emergency? What but straw: every
where else considered the most helpless
Of all things in water! Yet straw, in
the hands of the Dutch, has will of its
own. Woven into huge mats and Sc
curely pressed against the embankinent,
it defieS even rushing tide, eager to
sweep over the country.
These dikeS form almost the only
perfectly dry land to be seen from the
ocean side. They are high and wide,
with fine carriage roads on top, some
times lined with buildings and trees.
Living on one side of them and nearly
on level with the edge is the sea.
lake. canal. or river, as the case may be;
on the other the flat fields stretching
damply along at their base, so that cot
tage roofs sometimes are lower than
the shining line of the water. Frogs
squatting on the shore can take quite
bird'S-eye view Of the landscape; and
little fish wriggle their tails higher than
the tops of the willows near by. Horses
look complacently down upon the bell
towers; and men in skiffs and canal
boats sometimes know when they are
passing their friend Dirk's cottage only
by seeing the smoke from its chimney;
or perhaps by the cart wheel that he
has perched upon the peak of its over
hanging matched roof, in the hope that
some Stork will build her nest there
and so bring good luck.
