COST OF ELEPHANTS.
Much Used in the Siamese Malay
States as Beasts of Burden.

From the Geographical Journal.
1t is somewhat interesting to COM
pare the weights carried by elephants
in the tin-producing districts of the
Malay peninsula with those used in
the long journeys and mountainous
country of the Lao states. In the PEN
insula the distances are seldom more
than at most three or four days
march, and the elephant is expected
to carry as much as 900 or 1000 pounds,
besides his mahout and howda. The
latter is often a mere brace of pan
mers, slung together so as to rest one
on each side of the backbone, and COW
cred sometimes with light barrel roof
of bark. A good tusker which will
carry $50 pounds will fetch about G56
and a female which can bear 800
pounds is worth about f45. In the
Lao states, where Journeys of ten days
or three weeks are frequent, the aver
age hardly exceeds 300 pounds, or one
third of what is usual in the penin-
sula. The prices in various parts of
the country vary considerably. When
we were on the Me Kawug and in
Muang Nan in 1898 a good tusker could
be had for e32 and a female for e24;
at 'nleHB MAI, WHelt SOOu ledh-DtdT-
ing elephants are in great demand, a
tusker may fetch el50, and female
anything from ESQ to e150. according
to her strength and ability.
In the Siamese Malay states there
are probably about 1000 domesticated
elephants, all told, and in the Lao
country probably over $500 animals
are working at the present moment.
That these animals breed in captivity
in Siam is due to the fact that a large
number OF them spend the great part
OF their time holiday making in the
jungle. When there is no work for his
beast. the mahout takes him out TO a
nice. cool, green bit of forest and
leaves him there TO enjoy himself.
There Is no expense connected with
his unkeep, for he looks after him
self. He has a hobble of rattan around
his feet to dissuade him from wander
ing too far, and a wooden bell round
his neck, by the tone of which the
mahout or his little hoy can always find
him when they go out once a month to
look him up and give him some ban
anas.

RABID DOG SCARE.

Residents in the neighborhood of Ed
wards court and Washburn street were
thrown into a state of the deepest ex-
element by the reported presence of
a mad dog" early last evening. Many
children were said to have been bitten
and naturally everyone kept indoors.
At last some one located the canine
under a porch in the rear of the First
Welsh Baptist church. on South Main
avenue, and one loook satisfied him
that the dog was surely mad. The
eyes glared and the mouth was COW
cred with froth. The discoverer i'm
mediately sought a patrolman TO have
the animal shot. Patrolman McColli-
gan gave the dog it's quietus.
AS a matter of fact, the dog was not
mad but had probably been given some
poisoned meat and when the poison
began to take effect 1t looked as If the
poor beast was mad. No one knew to
whom the animal belonged and its
body was removed and buried.
