About two hundred years ago there lived
. Prince Of Mahfsttas, IN lIindostsn,
whose name was Shsbiee, Princes are
numerous 10 India. but this particular
prince was long remem bered on accoun
OF his benehcenee and great wisdom. He
seems TO have been The most learned prince
OF the time, and his advice aud help were
always sought in critical matters. Many
stories are told Of his ingenious settlement
OF difficulties, aud some OF them are Ger.
iainly curious.
Once q very high official in the court OF
Prince Shahjee made q vow that II he sue
ceeded in a certain enterprise, he would
distribute to the poor OF his district the
weight OF bis own elephant 10 silver.
Elephants were highly prizad by these
princes. and each kept the largest and
finest for his own use. The officials vow
II hasty, was generous, and perhaps the
snccess OF his undertaking was worth the
price.
The undertaking succeeded; but the
official. willing to keep bis oath. was met
by an unexpected difficulty. There was
no possible way Of finding The elephants
correct weight. No scales IN the country
we're constructed Of sufficient power to
weigh such enormous beasts. Elephants
were not cold by the pound, aud DO need
bad before arisen Tor scales 10 weigh them.
Ali the learned aud clever men OF the
court tried 10 vain to construct, q machine
OF suHi power to weigh the enormous
beast. II did seem probable thai the poor
OF Hindostan would have TO get along
without that silver. II is possible that
the official had thought OF this objection
when he made the vow. Indians are crafty
and this one might have been cunning
enough 10 leave bimsefa loop hole OF es
cape to prevent parting with his money.
But il any such Lotion bad occurred TO
him, he was doomed to disappointment In
the matter. The question was referred to
Shsbjee. as oil such vexstions questions
we're. And ii did not take him long 10
find very simple solution. That is al'
ways the way with true genius, you know.
Tue solution 1t finds is so simple that
every one cries out In wonder:
Why. OF conrsel Why didn't somebody
spesk OF that beiore9
Shabjee commanded The elephant to be
conducted along platform into Hat bot
toned boat which lay by the water side.
When the animal was safely aboard, he
desired the attendants to mark upon tho
boats side the exact height to which the
water reached when the elephant weighed
II down. Then the elephant was taken
out, and stones substituted. until enough
we're loaded into the boat to brng it TO
the same water line ~ when the elephant
wss the passenger.
Then the stones were weighed. II The
scales could not hold ell at once, part
could be taken at time, you see, aud 80
the elephants weight was correctly ascer,
tanned. ! IL sale to oonon1s that tho
poor Of Hiudostan finally got the silver. A
prince 80 wee must bavs been Just
Whether the official who paid the money
was quite satisfied, history does not tell us
bat we will hope, for his chsrilys sake, be
was. and as full grown elephant weighs
several tons, the amount distributed
among The poor OF the district must have
been very large.
