Work Willingly for Their Hoard
and Never Go OH Strikes.
The man in Florida who had con-
ceived the idea of using elephants in
connection with the milling operations
is perhaps more deserving of praise
than humorous criticism. Although
| the idea of elephant labor in this coun-
try is at first a startling n and likely
| to bring down the condemnation of
trades unions and organized labor. it is
nevertheless practicable, inasmuch as
this kind Of labor has in India been
| demonstrated to be one of the most
economical and valuable which can be
employed in numbering operations
there.
In India elephants. perform work
about the saw mill with almost human
intelligence. The labor is cheap. as
the elephant will work for his board
and never strike, and at the same
time perform the work Of many men.
They not only work about the mill and
yard, but propcl logs in the streams
and carry them IN shore. The trunk
Of the elephant, which the observer
would conceive to be the soft and ten.
der portion of the huge brute's anat'
omy, can. in reality, be as hard as
steel at the will of its owner, and be.
ing possessed of great strength. obcys
the will Of the driver. The elephant
will easily carry a piece of timber
weighing a ton and a half, but if the
weight be over that he will absolutely
refuse to pull, in which event another
elephant is pressed into service and
the load is evenly divided. If the
piece be light the elephant will balance
it upon his tusks, and, throwing his
trunk about the piece, will carry il
rapidly to whatever portion Of the
yard is desired, place it upon the pile
and adjust it with perfect nicely. In
time he goes to work Of his W ac-
cord at the sounding of the whistle,
and when the whistle blows at night
will positively refuse to perform any
more labor. Thus it is within the pos
sibilities that oxen and mules 'may be
retired, and that the loud voiced Flor
ida negro who urges the patient mule
with blows of a black snake whip will
cease this labor, and perched upon the
back of an elephant. armed with a
pointed iron prod, will do the heavy
work required in the saw mill yard
