action the unfair treatment they have

Many reliable business men say that

legitimate strike. 1t is asserted that

How Elephants Gross a River.

1t is a great sight to see a line of ele-
plants crossing a river with steep
banks. They go down slowly. striking
the ground with their trunks before
each step, and never making a slip or
miss, although you feel every minute
| as if they were going to take header
into the water. Then they wade or
swim, as the case may be, and they
swim beautifully, not hesitating to
cross half a mile of deep water if need
be.
l must say, however, that the sensa-
ton of sitting on the back of a swim
ming elephant is the reverse of pleas
ant; you fancy yourself on an enormous
barrel which may roll round at any
moment and take you under. Besides
that, they swim SO low in the water that
you are sure of a wetting, which in In
dia means an excellent chance of fever
Having crossed the stream, they must
climb to the top of the bank, and this
is the most peculiar operation of all.
Down on their knees they go, and with
trunk and tusks dig out a foothold for
themselves, and so step by step, work
their way to the top, their position be-
ing sometimes like that of a fly climb
ing up a wall AS they reach the top
they give a lurch sideways, and shoot
one leg straight over the bank, then
give a lurch to the other side and shoot
out the other leg in the same way,
which brings them into the position of
a boy hanging by his arms from the
edge of a roof. Then they come to their
knees, and, finally, with great scram-
bling and kicking of their hind legs,
bring themselves to level ground again.
In spite of these perilous ascents and
descents I never knew an elephant to
miss his foothold, although there was
a. case where one of the herd got stuck
in the mud and sank gradually deeper
and deeper until only his head and part
of his back could be seen. The rajah
ordered ten other elephants to be
brought up, and they were hitched TO
the unfortunate animal, and by pulling
together at the given word brought
their bellowing1 comrade out of the mud
