~ HIS is the year Of the elephant
battue" in the great forests Of
Mysore, India.
The hunting of these gigantic ami
mails is permitted in India only every
fifth year On the average from zoe to
ESQ wild elephants are captured during
the battue season, and these are trained
for the various purposes for which the
Asiatic elephant is used. Everybody
knows how conspicuous part tanned
elephants play in the great public
spectacles in India Indian princes and
officials sometimes pay thousands Of
dollars for exceptionally fine and intel
ligent elephants. After they have been
properly trained. they are furnished
with trappings cleaning with gold and
splendid color.
On a good level road an elephant Will
march at the rate of five miles per
hour. and he is capable Of running, for
short distances, with a speed Of 20 miles
an hour. He can carry, in regular ser
vice. from 1900 to 1900 pounds, and he
would not greatly mind a ton or more.
What He Can Do.
With his enormous muscles. and his
dead weight of five or six tons, it IS
evident that his pulling and lifting
power must be immense. He can pull
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1914-04-18

down, or root up, small trees; can pick
Up huge logs with his trunk and carry
or throw them around like sticks and,
since he is a very tractable beast when
we'll tanned. he often does farm work Of
which a team of horses would be in
capable. He can make a fence, or place
huge blocks Of stone in a wall. He is
often employed to drag artillery
wagons .------.----
One Of the most Interesting employ
ments Of the elephant is in hunting
tigers. From the lofty back of his
elephant, at a height which, increased
by the hOwdah, may be u or IA feet
above the ground, the hunter can take
his aim at a tiger with a GOODNESS that
he would not possess If facing the ami
NAL on terra firma. If, as sometimes
occurs, the tiger makes q leap for the
elephant, he seldom succeeds in attain
ing the man in the howdah, although
the driver, in his exposed position on
the elephants neck, is in greater dan
ger
There seems to be a natural enmity
between elephants and tigers, although
an elephant will not attack a tiger IN
less cOrnered. or compelled to do so by
the tigers own fault. But, then a good
fighting elephant viii, il he can get his
tusks to bear on his enemy, gore him
to death, or literally crush him by

Monied interests are calling on, and

While England is being referred to

tolls for American ships, Americans
must consider that this equally affects
so far as the shipping interests go,
Germany, France and italy, and all
nations conducting a commerce on the
