IN BURMA.
The Great Beasts Sometimes Work
without Immediate Oversight.

In Burma the animal generally used
in numbering operations is the ele-
plant. While my lord the elephant
solves in a unique way the %transporta-
ton problem-always a vexatious one
in numbering operations-he does more
than that. The stolid and slow moving
OK can haul a load from one place to
another. but the load has to be made
ready for him in the first place, and
after it has arrived at its destination it
has to be unloaded. The elephant
takes care of all these operations. Not
only he is a draft animal. but in
some instances, at a word from his
driver, he picks up Il timber, carries ii
to the designated point, and then not
only deposits it where it belongs, but
does SO with precision and comparative
ease, accomplishing a result almost i'm
possible by hand labor, and with less
luired by a steam crane.
In most cases an elephant driver, or
mahOut, is required for each elephant.
but human labor is so cheap as not to
be a factor in the expense. The ele-
plant furnishes the labor which is paid
for, and the driver is looked upon as a
necessary. though O altogether de
strable, concomitant. rs the native
helper is not so much to be relied upon
as his big charge. Opium and the
strong brews of native roots work on
human frailty. but the elephant has no
desire for these. In many big lumber
ing operations the elephants are seem
ingly told what they are to do in the
morning. and in some degree left to
carry on the work during the day ac-
cOrding to their own devices. Very re-
markable are the stories told of their
sagacity. One of these stories. vouched
for as true. concerns numbering. and
tells of an elephant that was about to
pick UP a log just as the great gong
! which signaled the close Of the days
work was sounded. To the surprise of
the inahout. the log, only n little larger
than others which had been carried,
proved o heavy for the elephant to
lift from the ground. Another elephant
was requisitioned. but the two together
failed to make any Roadway with the
heavy timber, and the attempt was
given up. In the morning the first ele-
plant went Immediately to the timber,
lifted it with apparent ease. and car
ried it to the required resting place.
