ELEPHANT STRENGTH.

"A series of interesting experiments was
carried out at Rarnum's recently-interest-

elephant has hardly the strength-at least,
not the direct pulling strength-with which
popular tradition has endowed ii. Two ele-
plants from the Barnum & Bailey stud,

the demonstration, and their feats of
strength, under several conditions, were
registered by a machine patented by Mr..
Duckham. The internal mechanism con-

The machine had been lent by Messrs
Thornycroft, and one of the department
heads was present to see that it did its
work under proper conditions. 1t was plac-

One half wondered whether English labor

whether they would not want pay in adj
