HOW AN ELEPHANT WAS
WEIGHED.

In India they tell a story of Shahji,
a Hindu prince, who on a certain &C.
casion showed himself almost as clev-
er as Archimedes.
A high official had made a vow that
he would distribute to the poor the
weight of his own elephant in silver
money. But how should he go about
it to learn what the weight really
was? All the learned and clever men
of the court labored in vain to con-
struct a machine of sufficient strength
to weigh the elephant.
At length Shahji came forward, and
suggested a plan that was as simple
as it was ingenious. He caused the
unwieldy animal to be conducted
along a stage made especially for the
purpose into a fat-bottomed boat.
Then, having marked on the boat the
height to which the water reached
after the elephant had weighed it
down, he had the animal let out and
stones substituted in sufficient guam
tity to sink the boat to the same line.
The stones were then taken to the
scales and weighed one by one.
Thus, to the admiration of the court,
Shahji discovered the true weight OF
the elephant.
