BIGGEST OF ELEPHANT HUNTS.
kinq of Slams Roundup In the jun
ole.

gle.
All other hunts and drives, battues
and baggings of big game are insig-
nificant compared to the elephant hunt
of the king Of Siam. 1t is an old as
we'll as a picturesque custom and sur
wives unchanged in all its important
features.
1t used to be an annual affair, but
there have been serious lapses In this
reign, says the National Geographic
Magazine. There are forebodings lest
the great chase be given up Of neces-
sity as time goes on.
The royal elephant hunt was a more
serious affair, perhaps, when that ma
jestic beast was the only means Of
royal travel on land and the elephant
corps and elephant batteries were the
most important branch Of the army.
Save for tradition and sentiment, for
occasional state splendors and pa
rades, the elephant today has no part
In Bangkok court life, and his occu-
patton would be gone were 1t not for
the survey corps, the road builders,
official travelling in the faraway prov
inces and the teak forests and tim
ber yards where American overhead
machinery cannot supplant the intel
ligent strength Of the elephant.
For the great hunts at Ayuthia, site
of the abandoned capital. the hunters
go out weeks beforehand and beat the
jungles for a hundred miles to north
and east: and the Gordon Of tame ele-
plants slowly closes around the wild
elephants and drives them In q herd
of two or three hundred down to the
river bank and across to the kings
kraal. .at
| The last hunt Of this kind was ar
ranged for the special enjoyment Of
the crown prince after his return
from his studies at Oxford and his
tour OF America, and before he as
sumed the robes of a Buddhist priest
and spent the regulation three months
in a monastery. In accordance with
old Siamese custom.
For the hunt week the court stays
at the nearby palace Of Bang-p In,
on the river banks, and the diploma
tic and other foreign guests go up to
Ayuthia on their houseboats, which
luxuriously lodge them during the
time.
All Bangkok that can find foothold
goes up the forty miles by train, and
all the riverside and creek country
people paddle their small boats and
dugout canoes to the arm Of the
Meinam on which the kings kraal
lies.
When the hunters have urged the
slow moving game out from the jun
gle to the river bank the sight is
worth all Slams efforts to see. Hem
med in at a safe distance by hundreds
Of boats the tame elephants slowly
urge their jungle cousins across the
meadow and into the converging ap-
proaches to the kraal.
This square. enclosure has solid
walls six feet thick, with an inner
stockade of teak logs twelve feet
high, banded together with iron and
set so closely together that there is
barely space between for the SLIM
NEST Siamese to squeeze through.
The grand stand, with its royal
lodge, from which the king and his
guests view the scene. is built over the
north wall of the kraal; but as this

EASTERN PRovERBs.-Let q man
speak what Is true, and speak what is
pleasing; let him not speak what is
true but unpleasing. nor what Is pleas
ing but untrue This law changes not.
No other reaps the fruit Of a deed
which a man commits In this world of
men: the fruit of every deed which a
man commits, he shall reap. and no
deed whatsoever goes without its
fruit.
Thou thinkest thyself alone and
reckest not of the ancient wise one
sitting in thy heart: in his presence
thou sinnest who knoweth the evil
deed.
In the true light seek thou the little
master of the house within. while
thou holdest in check the wind blo%-
ing before the door and the leader Of
the senses. Why many words !?
Through words man cometh not TO
vision. Behold the master within
the body. Why wanderest thou fur
ther in the darkness Of errors taught
by the books.
After much search in many doc
trines the wise have determined the
four ways of giving that lead to well
fare In this world and the next. To
those who fear shall a man give con-
fidence: to the sick, medicine; to those
who desire knowledge he shall give
knowledge: to the hungry, food.
Do not unto others that which
would offend thee: this Is the sum of
the law, and every other law alters
with occasion.

LAYING up in some cool lair in deep
shade, near water, Of which there was
neither within a mile at least, and
that he would not return to his kill
till sundown. / lit my pipe, which in
other circumstances would have been
inadmissible, and for several hours I
sat without a sound to vary the mo-
notony. %.
The moon had barely shown herself
clear Of the tree tops when the sharp
bark of a cheetul stag resounded in my
rear, and a moment later herd Of the
spotted beauties dashed away in front
of me, shying at the dead body in their
headlong flight. The sound OF their
rush had barely ceased when I heard
at a distance, in the same direction.
the unmistakable purring Of a tiger.
There came q little later, and once
only, a terrific roar, and this In the
solitude of a dense jungle. where the
silence Of the grave prevails, is of in
describable effect. Even the tree frogs
ceased their monotonous humming.
In a few minutes a stealthy tread
greeted my ears, and the purring was
incessant-he was coming up right
behind me.
I got my gun In position, covering
the killed, cooked both hammers, and
waited motionless until he showed
himself near his grewsome banquet.
On and on he came, so close that
could smell his fetid breath. He was
now within twelve feet of me, and i'm
mediately under my "machan." Here
he paused for several minutes. evil

At last hunger overcame suspicion,
and he walked in leisurely way up

bit, then laid down by the side OF the
kill and began to eat. The moons rays
fell brightly on his sleek skin, so, pick
Ing out the spot just behind the
shoulder, I pressed the trigger and
then heard the welcome thud of the
shell.
Almost at the instant there followed
the still more musical roar Of the brute
in his death throes. Then all was still
but to make sure gave him the left
barrel. I then fired two blank car
trldges in quick succession-the signal
to my mahout to bring up the ele-
phant. On his arrival, with about fif-
ty villagers, one would have thought
them all mad, for directly they saw
the dead man eater their yelling and
shouting was deafening. and the abuse
they showered on the tigers female
relatives was disgusting. got down

been In the "machan" for more than
twelve hours.
The tiger was beauty. full grown,
with a finely marked and well furred
skin. He measured 8 feet 103 inches,
and was very heavy, his forearms be-
Ing peculiarly massive. Both my shells
had entered, just behind the shoulder,

the heart, liver and lungs to shreds,
but had not injured the skin a bit.

ILLUMINATING Bombs.

The war department has been max
ing experiments with an illuminating
bomb" socalied, which in reality Is not
a bomb at all, but q sort Of pyrotech-
mic contrivance attached to shells
thrown by rified guns and mortars.
The bomb Is a small cylinder OF
brass. two inches in length. which Is
screwed into the base Of the projectile.
It is filled with perhaps two ounces OF
a composition that burns with high
Illuminating power. When the shell
is discharged the explosion OF the
powder in the gun ignites a fuse at
tached. to the composition In the CYL
inder, which Is then consumed with a
bright light and considerable smoke.
Though the quantity Of the mixture
in the cylinder is so small, 1t burns
long enough to last until the projectile
strikes the target, though the latter
should be several miles distant. At
night its combustion makes a brilliant
spot of flame, which, accompanying the
projectile, enables the observer to see
exactly the course taken by the shell.
In the daytime the. smoke serves an
equivalent purpose.
Though important for study, where
ordnance officers are taking note OF
the flight Of projectiles. the illuminat-
ing bomb seems likely to prove useful
in actual warfare, enabling the officer
in charge Of a gun or battery to see
how the shells strike whether they hit
or miss the object aimed at Thus.
either by day or by night. judging by
the smoke or by the flame shown, the
range can be judged. the elevation of
the weapon modified, and the aim ad-
justed with accuracy, even though the
target may be, far away.
Recently some attention has been
excited in Europe by experiments with
illuminating bombs Of different kinds,
one of which. when cast among the
enemy at night, bursts and immedi-
ately lights up the darkness with
power Of one hundred thousand can
dies, thus revealing the situation of
an opposing force.
Not less remarkable are the smoke
grenades, filled with chemical sub
stances, which on explosion produce
clouds Of dense black smoke. These
are designed to be carried in advance
by skirmishers and thrown so as to
conceal the troops following.
