ENeLAND's ELEPHANT BRIGADE
Always Good Workers, But Averse
to Riding on Cars.
(Froma the Regiment)

| One of the most interesting features of
| the English army life presented to>the
layman in India is furnished by the re
markable efficiency of the elephant bri-
! gade, most highly developed through the
| skill of the Burmese in handling the gil
ant animals. Their usefulness in India
can scarcely be imagined by one not ia
m.liar with the amount and variety OF
work which they accomplish, but 1t would
be serious mistake to imagine that this
degree Of usefulness is attained through
any aptitude of the unwieldy animals or
natural tendency toward it. IL is due sole
( " and entirely to the wonderful ability
of the natives in training the huge ami
mails and overcoming their natural incli-
nations. This cannot be too highly
praised. Neither must ii be imagined that
the use of elephants in army life is not
| attended by great disadvantages, not the
| least of which is the difficulty with which
| they are transported. Naturally the ele-
! plant is not an intelligent animal. He
can be taught remarkable things, in
which his strength and endurance play
an important part. He can never. how
ever, perform these feats without con-
tinual direction and attendance. Alb
stractly, his power Of work is unappre-
ciable; when directed by skillful hands,
however. 1t 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
detraining OF lot of elephants on the
Madras Railway. Both were RENAL kable
processes. In loading, rope is fasten-
ed to his foreleg. and 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 ad-
monishing him in the haunch by means of
tusk. The first step taken is rapidly
followed by the others until he stands
safely on the car. This portion of the
task is accomplished comparatively east
ly, however. when compared with the
next. At first he is timid and slightly
frightened, but when the starts his
fear is wonderful to behold. Though he
may ride hundred times. he never over
comes this fear, though il is much more
denounced when he takes his initial ride
after, say, two months acquaintance with
civilization. He rends the air with wild
trumpetngs, endeavors fruitlessly to es
cape, and only ceases his efforts when the
car has again come to a standstill. In
transporting the elephants by sea the diff
ficulfies are almost as great They are

cape and rending the air with their cries.
Once aboard ship they are easily manag
ed. the motion not affecting them be-
cause they do not see the moving panora-
ma 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 able TO swim eight or
ten miles at stretch without firing
