wild elephants sent natives sprawling.
When noosed the wild elephants were
tied, first by one hind foot and then by
the other, to a big tree, where they
screamed, pulled and beloved Justify.
Strong tarred ropes were tied around
the necks and bodies of the captives,
then tied to the rope collars of two
tame elephants, after which the wild
elephants were united from the tree.
Then they were marched off between
the two tame ones, followed by a
third tame elephant, which helped
with an occasional push when neces-
sary. One of the baby elephants was
very plucky, and not at all easy to Sc
cure. The largest of the elephants in
the kraal measured fifteen feet in
height.
After several months of captivity,
chained by a forefoot to a stout tree,
and under the care and training of a
keeper, they will be disposed of or
hired out by their captors and used for
dragging big timber or doing other
heavy work. Some of the younger
ones are sold to dealers in animals
who train them for the circus, etc.

foundations are being laid, with the
view of obtaining the structural steel
in February. The palace itself will be

the steel skeleton. 1t will be 27O by

and will be built in the French Renais-

The Carnegie company will furnish the
