ELEPHANT AS ZIMMERMAN
In Siam Big Animal Ia an Efficient
Worker

The elephants are our chief standby in
Siam and without them teak could not
be worked, as II grows in such inacces-
sibe places that no hauling machine
could be brought near the trees, says
writer in Asia. Elephants can climb
like cats. 1t is marvellous to see them
pick their way UP and down steep slopes,
but sometimes they lose their foothold
One of our elephants fell down a steep
river bank last year. hit her head against
a rock and broke her neck The work of
the elephants consists in climbing up
to the fallen trees and pushing or roll
ing them down hill 10 a spot where it is
level enough for dragging chains to be
attached.
Then they drag the logs down to the
nearest floating creek. often six or seven
miles away. An elephant can handle from
30 to 10 logs per season, which lasts from
about the first of June till the end of
February. Then it becomes too hot for
them to work and they go into rest camps
until the next rains. The elephants do
their best work in floating streams. work

When they swim from bank to bank,

ENGLAND's HUGE NATIONAL DEBT

AS is obvious, no one of the various eco
nomic questions stands by itself They are
all more or less closely related. The mat
ter of industry and production intimately
affect the carrying of the huge war debt.
In Austin Chamberlains recent pref
erence budget II was placed at s3S, 400
1000 If there be subtracted from this
total the loans to allies and to British
Dominons. perhaps $500, 100000, the an
nual interest at 3 per cent on the balance
of $40 mo 900 is $500 OOO, 900. Not only
must Great Britain carry this war debt
together with sinking fund for the ulti-
mate extinction Of the principal, but
she must meet heavy demands arising
from the war, such AS heavy PEN
sons. aids to families of dead
and MANNED soldiers. and all the
OUTLAWS of rehabilitation and recon-
struction-in addition to the burden of
normal budget for the ordinary expenses
Of government. The estimate is the very
minimum for the future. Fer lsls-ls2o
however, the charge for national debt
service is $500, 100000, while the total
expenditure is s7l74,5sOooo. Under all the
high pressure of war necessities the total
income for the same year is placed at
SO, 0O6 500, 900. From taxes alone 400 Co.,
| 900 are counted upon. Thus, I'm brief, we
get a view Of the prodig!ous burden placed
by the war on British industry Can her
industry Withstand this pressure? The
war demands can DO met only by taking
out of the country's production enor-
