a distinct streak of light was visible
very much similar to the Milky Way
lie declared the reason why the earth
had not yet reached the comets tail is
that the tail is curved away from the
earth and although the head of the
comet has crossed the suns disk by
four hours, the tail will probably not
reach the earth until later in the morn

Build Large Stockade.

Permission granted, the stockade is built
IN such a position that it incloses part of
a stream which elephants are known to
use for drinking and bathing purposes,
the average area of the incloSed space be
ing about 800 square yards.
A Stockade capable of withstanding the
concerted onrush of a dozen to twenty full
grown elephants must needs be struc-
ture of no mean strength, and that used
at the last kraal Q90O was composed al
most entirely of full grown trees measur-
ing thirty to forty inches in girth, and
twenty feet or more in height.
The stockade being in readiness-a por
ton of one side being left open to form an
entrance-the heaters, numbering loco or
1850, are dispatched on a three OF four
days detOur with the object of driving
in the herd, special arrangements being
made. In the shape of bonfires, to prevent

Colombo. Ceylon, May 1s.-There is to
De a ''kraaf' or corral Of elephants in
few days at a clearing in the jungle
near Kurenegalle, place a short distance
from Handy.
The Sabra gamua Cor he north centraD
provinces usually form the scene of these
wholesale captures. and in most cases
tney are arranged for the benefit of a re-
tlrlng governor or as sight for some
royal or titled visitor.
An officer of the forest department esti-
mated some years ago $500 that there
were approximately 1900 wild elephants in
Ceylon. but subsequent observations point
TO the fact that this was far too low an
estimate. Probably $500 would be much
nearer the actual figure.
Most of the Jungle holding elephants is
either owned or held on long lease by
wealthy natives, the majority of whom
are petty office-holders ratemahatmas, or

ment, whose permission is necessary be-
fore kraal can be held.

Points Where Accidents Occur.

Just at this point is where the accidents
usually occur, for should the captive sus-
pect an enemy in the rear, he can lunge
out a five-toe kick to a distance of some
think like ten feet, and woe betide the
mortal that stands in the way. Consider
ing the large number captured. however.
serious accidents are singularly scarce,
the men being extraordinarily quick at
anticipating a dangerous movement, and

Decoy Elephants Assist.

As ii is necessary to have at least five
or six pairs of tame or decoy elephants
for the noosing operations, which are TO
follow, it Is usual for the neighborhood
chiefs and other owners to be invited TO
send their animals to assist, the recog-
nized remuneration being one or more Of
the captured elephants for each beast
taking part, the actual award depending
upon the number kraaled.
Provided the men are working in unison,
however, and given reliable decoys to
work with, the noosing of an elephant is
one of the things no spectator IS likely to
forget. The selected animal having been
cut off from the herd, he finds himself
wedged between two enormous decoys,
traitors to their race, but marvels of in
telligence and (the noosers will say full
of sympathetic assurances to their cap

Immediately following segregation,

tunity, places a thick moose of rawhide
