He demanded that figures ON
which estimates were founded be
produced. The railroad men have
been presenting tables to show de-

Samuel Rea. president of the Penn

the roads traffic department de-

figures. He insisted. however, that
the losses described were large.

1t cannot be too often repeat.
ed that the ends of society are
not realized when there are
great aggregate results. magnifi-

enjoyment, with the degradation

must be futile which do not orig

HUW WILD elephants
ARE CAPTURED IN INDIA.
Hunt Permitted Every Fifth Year.
What Huge Beasts Are Used For.

This 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 200
to $50 wild elephants are captured
during the battue season. and these are
trained for the various purposes for
which the Asiatic elephant is used.
In view Of the vast strength pos
sessed by full grown elephants. it
seems at first sight almost incredible
that they can be captured in herds.
snd quickly subdued to the will Of
their masters. At the present time. in
Mysore, the regular methods Of cap
turing wild elephants is for large
number Of natives to 60 Into ii" jun
gle. some mounted on tanned elephants
and many on foot, and to make great
noise and hullabaloo, which results in
driving herds of the wild elephants
into stockades or often into ponds Of
water. which have previously been
surrounded on all sides. except at the
approaches, by immensely strong pal
isades. As soon as the herd is cornered
the passages that had been left open
are securely closed. and then the train
ed elephants are brought into play to
cajole and subdue the perplexed prison
ers.
In India elephants are no longer cap
tured. as they still are in Africa. by
means Of huge pitfall In the ground.
In these traps they are often seriously
injured or killed. The Indian elephant
is somewhat smaller than the African
and differs from 1t in other ways. as,
for instance. in the fact that tusks are
possessed only by the males, while both
sexes have them in Africa.
With his enormous muscles and his
dead weight of five or six tons an ele
plant can pull 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 very tract
able beast when we'll tanned. he often
does farm work Of which team of
horses would be incapable. He can
make fence or place huge blocks Of
stone in we'll. He is often employed
to drag artillery wagons.
On good level road an elephant will
march at the rate Of five miles an hour,
and he is capable Of running for short
distances with speed Of twenty miles
an hour. He can carry in regular serv-
ice from 1,20O to 1900 pounds.
