Elephants dearly love Joke When
engaged in the timber trade in Burma
| observed some queer pranks played
by them On one occasion | saw a
calf play a most ludicrous trick on
its mother. The older animal was
hauling a log, which fifty coolies could
not have moved, from river to the
sawmills, quite unconscious OF any
guile in the bosom of her offspring.
The younger took turn with his
trunk around one OF the chain traces
and pulled back with all his might.
This additional weight caused the
mother to stop and look behind her:
but, on discovering the cause. she
gravely shook her head and prepared
TO resume her task Of drawing the
log to the mill. This was just what
the little imp expected, and before
the strain was put on again, he kicked
our the iron hook which fastened the
long chain to the log. AS the mother
again began to pull, he held back with
all his strength on the chain until her
muscles were in full play, and then
suddenly let 60

She seemed to understand him at

most exciting chases ii has ever been

The calf scented danger the moment
he saw the driver whisper to his
mother, and he placed large stack
OF timber between the enraged animal
and himself as speedily as possible.
Elephants seem too clumsy to do
much running, but these two coursed
up and down the yard in a manner
which astonished me.
