A Thoughtful Elephant.

In India domesticated elephants are
usually given drinks from large wooden
troughs filed with we'll water by
means OF pump, and it is commonly
an elephant that fills his trough.
Every morning he goes regularly to
his task. While visiting friend at
his fine residence in India, corre-
spondent of n paper saw large ele-
phant engaged in pumping such a
trough full of water. He continues: {:
'1n passing / noticed that one of
the two tree-trunks which supp orted
the trough at either end had rolled
from its place, so that the trough,
still elevated at one extremity, would
begin TO empty itself as soon as the
water reached the level of the top at
the other end, which lay on the
ground 1 stopped TO see il the ele'
phant would discover anything wrong.
Soon the water began TO run off at
the end which had lost its support.
The animal showed signs of perplexity
when he saw this; but, rs the end
nearest him lacked much of being full,
he continued to pump.
"Finally, seeing that the water con-
tinued to pass off, he left the Pump
handle and began to consider the
phenomenon. He seemed to find it diff
cult to explain. Three times he re-
turned to his pumping, and three
times he examined the trough. l was
