Of the Burmese in handling the giant ami

ly be imagined by one not familiar with
the amount and variety of work which
they accomplish, but it would be serious
mistake to imagine that this degree of use
fulness is attained through any aptitude
of the unwieldy animals or natural tend

tirely to the wonderful ability of the
natives in training the huge animals and
overcoming their natural inclinations. This
cannot be too highly praised Neither must
1t be imagined that the use of elephants
IN army life is not attended by great dis.
advantages, not the least of which is the
difficulty with which they are transported
Naturally, the elephant is not an intefIi-
gent animal. He can be taught remarka-
bic things, in which his strength and en-
durance play an important part He can
never, however, perform these feats with
out continual attendance and direction.
Abstractly, his power of work is unap-
preciable; when directed by skillful hands,
however, it is remarkable
The transportation facilities which are
provided for the sole use of the elephant
are quite as remarkable. | witnessed re-
Gently, adds the writer, the loading and
detrainlng of a lot of elephants on the
Madras Railway. Both were remarkable
processes. In loading, rope is fastened
to his foreleg, and a lot of natives haul
and pull at it to induce the animal to take
the first steps into the car. This is only
accomplished, however, by admOnishing
him i'll the paunch by means of a tusk.
The first step taken is rapidly followed by
the others, until he stands safely on the
car. This portion of the task is ac-
complished comparatively easily, however,

when the car starts his fear is wonderful
to behold. Though he may ride hundred
times, he never overcomes this fear, though
1T is much more pronounced when he takes
his initial ride after, say two months ac-
quaintance with civilization. He rends the
air with wild trumpetings, endeavors fruit
lessly TO escape, and only ceases his efforts
when the car has again come to a stand
still. In transporting the elephants by sea
the difficulties are almost as great They
are raised by means of n canvas sling from
the wharf to the ship, struggling to escape
and rending the air with their cries. Once
aboard ship they are easily managed, the
motion not affecting them, because they do
not see the moving panorama before them
Unloading them is easy. They are lowered
to a raft beside the ship and allowed to
swim ashore. They take to the water
easily and are excellent swimmers. being

THROUGH THE DANUBES GATES.
Remarkable Scheme for Towing Vessel;
Against the Current.
IT Daiiy Mail

For centuries the navigation on the
Danube, the largest river of Europe next
to the Volga, was greatly hampered by
the so-caled Iron Gates. a celebrated de-
file in the river at the confines of Hun
gary, Servia and Roumania. At this place
the river is crossed from shore to shore
on a length of about 5000 feet by rocky
masses, and many a ship went aground
in the Iron Gates, which always had been
terror to all navigators. 1t is the most
magnificent and greatest river dehle IN
the whole of Europe.
During the years of 1890 to 1856 a
scheme was carried out here which IN
volved immense difficulties. canal 20
feet wide and feet deep was cut through
the rocks of the Iron Gates. No less than
IA .OOO, 600 cubic feet of rocky masses had
to be blasted and more than 5O,OOO,OOO
cubic feet of stone and earth had to be
excavated. A great number of dams, OF
combined length of $4,000 feet, had to
be built to protect the canal. The ex-
penditure for this work amounted to
about 100000 florins. Since the COM
pletion of this canal the navigation on
the river has steadily increased, and thou
sands of steamers and barks now san
every year down to the Black Sea.
One drawback, however, remained. The
current in the Iron Gates is immense,
averaging from II to Is feet per second,
and it was especially difficult for the
heavy-laden ships to steam upstream
through the gates or to tow the barges
against the current. 1t was therefore de-
cided to build a special wire rope steamer
for the purpose of towing ships through
the defile. The steamer was built at Bu-
dapest and has recently been put on the
river The Vasapu, as the steamer is
named, is entirely built of steel. 1t has
a length of ,S36 feet, is 25H feet broad,
its draught being 5.44 feet. 1t is divided
into nine watertight compartments, and
has a double bottom, so that even IN the
case of a serious accident the vessel Will
not sink.
A wire rope 10000 feet in length and
almost one foot in diameter, having re-
Sistance of 81 tons, is strongly anchored
to a rock at the upper end of the gates at
the bottom of the river bed. This rope
or cable runs over a drum on board the
steamer. The vessels to be taken upstream
are towed toward the steamer and the
cable is then drawn around the drum by
means of a steam engine of 3OO-hOrse
power. The wire rope vessel has, in ad-
dition, two other engines, so as to enable
her to run independent of the cable. Each
of these two engines has a capacity Of
250-hOrse power. The speed of the steam
er with two loaded vessels of 600 tons in
tow, is 1.3 miles per hour when sailing
against the current and between four and
five miles per hour when going down
stream. The steamer has also been
equipped with powerful dynamo, which
furnishes electric light and feeds a search
light

abouts, and then rolled up in our blan-
ketS to wait the dawn of another day.
On the 23 we marched eight miles along
the Georgia Central Road, utterly wreck
ing it as we moved forward. and in the
evening went into camp on large pianta-
ton.
All along our line of march we found
the oolored people huhbling over with de-
light. each cndeavoring to outdo the other
in some crude expression Of frantic JOY
as they first beheld Massa Linkum's boys.
Upon one occasion Capt. Mooney ad-
dressed an old colored man. who from all
appearances may have been centenhrian:
We'll, Uncle Ned, what do you think
Of US Yankees?" With loud guffaw and
doff of his cap, Ned replied: Fore de
Lord. MaSSa. | dun don't know what to
think. sab: neber did | see so many white
folks. Dey jus trabel and trablc down
de road all day How many Yankees
were, there?" asked one of my comrades.
"Bress my soul" says Ned. Il dun don't
know. sab, for sure; | guess dars about
million. oh. you old fool, says an
other. you old nigger. you dun don
know muffin nohow. Oars more as NIL
lion for sure, sab; guess darS bout hve
hundred"
Nov. 24 we acted as guard for our sup
ply train. We marched u miles and went
into camp. After supper we were ordered
out on the railroad, ana Tor Il time were
engaged in tearing up the track.
The next day we marched to the Oconee
River. 10 miles distant, where we met
with body of Georgia Home Guards"
who disputed the crossing. Our artillery
treated the woods on the opposite side to
a vigorous shelling, after which the rep
resentatives of the cradle and the grave
retired from our front.
Next morning we crossed the river on
pontoons laid during the night, and then
hurried away four miles, when a halt
was called to let the column close up.
Early on Sunday, Nov. q, our bugle
sounded the advance, and we marched off
in the direction of Millen, 80 miles east

on the banks of tqIe TIittle 0gecchcc by n
body of the enemy dn the opposite side.
The enemy seemed,4o think there was
but ore place to cruks the river, and that
in their front: but aIportion of our corps
made crossing ivy miles below. which
caused the enemy to- epacuate their works
and seek safety in flight.
Meanwhile one Of nur batteries was en-
gagged in feeling forfthe enemy; but elicit
ing no response. an advance was ordered,
and about dark we icrossed the river and
went into camp in the evacuated works OF
the enemy. -
