ELEPHANT NOT CLEVER.
rhe Popular Belief Contradicted by an
English Writer.

English Writer.
Tho elephant possesses very charm
ing characteristics and makes very
pleasant companion. For one thing he
is not easily mislaid, and he is very
obedient to the slightest hint given by
his mahout.
In speed he is scarcely record break
er, but he can get over the ground III
his shutting way at the rate of 10
miles an hour, when he likes.
There is one thing that he is not-he
is not Il really clever animal, in spite
of all the tales in the story books to the
contrary; otherwise he would not suffer
himself to be so easily captured in the
kheddahs, the huge forest Enclosures in
to which the hunters drive the herds of
elephants for the purpose of capture.
All the actions which are apparently
spontaneous OH the part of tho working
elephant are really performed at tho
bidding of the mahout. The driver on
his neck directs every movement by
pressure of the knee, and as the mans
knees are concealed under the elephants
ears it is very easy to imagine that tho
elephant thinks for himself.
When the mahout elects, for change,
to sit Oh the saddle, or pad, he drives
with his feet, and the dullest eye can
detect how a rub of the heel on tho
right shoulder turns the elephant to the
left, and vice versa.
After his tractability his gentleness is
the elephants most marked characteris-
tic. The mahout takes cruel advantage
OF his disposition sometimes, thrashing
him on the toe nail with a billet Of
wood, OFF free from risk of discovery
by his European master-pricking his
trunk with II spear till blood flows.
An elephant has rarely been known
to retaliate save when it must When
that curious madness comes ON him, no
one dares approach him in his pickets
II he be taken i'll must, and the fact es-
cape notice, tho consequences are likely
to be awkward at least
In a suburb of Rangun an elephant
belonging to firm of rice merchants
was one afternoon taken down to the
river for his usual bath after work. He
had, tho mahout said, been "dull'' all
day and seemed out of sorts He was in
must. He signified the fact by Selling
his mahout and tossing the astonishe(l
man into tho water; then he ran into
the go down" close by and, with one
squeal, dismissed some 900 coolies at
work there.
The go down was hugo palisade
shed, covering over an acre and was full
of loose paddy (unhusked rice) and
stacks of bags and grain. For two nights
and two days that elephant enjoyed
himself among those stacks. Spearmen,
posted round the palisade wall, kept
him in, and ono might have supposed 10
elephant bent OH mischief had been
there instead of one mad one. At last
he was made prisoner with tho aid of
two big tuskcrs and chained up until
such time as he should recover himself.

F. H. Sloan, representing the Mouse
River Ignite coal company is in the city
today. In talking briefly on the native,
coal question he urges the necessity OF
North Dakota fuel users becoming in
terested in the matter as it tends to their
individual benefit to bring it into general
use. He also states that the Mouse
River mines have of late been operated
by steam power, also that the freight
rates of railroads are now much reduced
from the former rate charged. Both
these changes have opened market for
all the coal the mines can produce.
Lately they have mined much better
grade OF coal than what was first
found, which is probably owing to the
fact that the wen now being worked is
deeper underground. Mr.. Sloan also
informed us that he has completed
arrangements since coming here to
have Paul Gardner, of the Langdon
Electric Light Co., handle their Ignite
coal at t. IS point.
