Intelligence of Indian
Elephant Illustrated

The real test of animal intelligence,
according to Mr.. Samuel A. Derieux In
the American Magazine, is the ability
to meet an unforeseen difficulty, to
grapple with a situation for which
neither training nor instinct has pre-
pared. Here is good example:
A traveller of the name of Tenant
was once riding horseback along a
road in India, on both sides of which
grew dense jungle. Suddenly his
horse SHE'D violently. and Mr.. Tenant
saw coming toward him a huge ele-
plant unattended and balancing on his
tusks heavy timber that he was evil
IDENTIFY carrying from sawmill to the
shipyards. The timber filled the road
from side to side, and Mr.. Tenant
could not possibly pass.
Suddenly the elephant, seeing horse
and rider, stopped and turned side
wise. Then ne backed short dis
lance into the jungle and. leaving
room for horse and rider to pass,
snorted out his directions that they
should go on. But horse is terribly
afraid Of an elephant, ard Mr.. Ten
ants horse continued to rear and
plunge; the man himself, interested to
see what would happen next, did not
froce him to pass.
Deeper and deeper into the jungle
the elephant backed; still the horse
reared and plunged. At last the ele-
plant laid the piece of timber down
and, pushing hard against the under
growth. disappeared. Then Mr.. Ten
ant rode past.
A short distance down the road he
refined In and looked back. The ele-
plant came out Of the jungle, picked
up the timber with his tusks, balanced
it with his trunk and, turning 1t round
in the road. went on his way with
loud snorts of indignation and dis
gust.

THE AsHoKAN RESERVOIR
By 7. T. MAxEY

The Ashokan reservoir Is an arti-

reservoir for the city Of New York.
situated In the Catskill mountains
more than 100 miles away.
The Esopus watershed, carrying the
waters Of the streams which dow
from the high forest lands in the
Catskills, emerged from the noun
tains through a deep gorge and
drained into the Hudson river. The
construction of dam 1850 feet long.
with maximum height of 252 feet,
across this gorge, stopped the flow Of
water and created a reservoir IL miles
long. from one to three miles wide,
with a maximum depth Of 100 feet
and capacity of 130,0O0.000.O00 gal
Ions of water.
In the construction Of this gigantic
project, 1922 acres Of land, on which
dwelt a population of 1000 persons
who had to find new homes, were &C
quired; $500 bodies from seven GEM
eteries were re-interred; II miles Of
railroad were relocated "a miles
of highways were discontinued and 40
miles of new highways were con-

barrels of cement were used, were
constructed. Three thousand men. 80
miles of railroad, SO locomotives, $50
cars, derricks, Steam rollers, steam
shovels. concrete mixing outfits. and
miscellaneous equipment without end
were employed.
AS the lower division of the reser-
voir is 587 feet above the tide In New
York harbor, the water flows to and
is delivered within the city by gravity.
Although the water Of the Esopus
drainage is of unusual softness and
the sparse settlement of the country
makes for purity. the water Is drawn
from the reservoir through 1850 noz-
zles which break 1t into spray and
permit the escape Of any odors or
gases which 1t may contain.
The water flows, for the most part,
through an aQueduct TN feet wide

drop of 1 ITO feet per mile Cement
lined tunnels carry it through un-
avoidable hills and under valleys. It

WASHINGTON LETTER
CONTINUED from Page ~

CONTINUED from Page ~
II is a form of craftsmanship
which is leaving its mark on
Congress.
The Senate and House will be
hard pressed for time when they
return next week. The House has
made some progress on the ap-
preparation bills for the Federal
departments. These bills will
eventually be presented to the
Senate but several other matters
are now pending in this body.
They must dispose of Muscle
Shoals, the Isle of Pines treaty
and the Postal Salary veto before
taking up fiscal measures.
Under an agreement reached by
the Senate a final vote will be
taken on the postal pay veto
January 6. Administration sup
porters claim that they have
mustered sufficient votes to sus-
tain the veto. The parliament
tary situation concerning the
salary raise in postal rates has
been so complicated that there is
little likelihood of any measure
of this character passing at this
session.
Committee chairmen have pas
sed the word to members of the
Senate and House to conserve
their energies which would be ex-
pended in advocating various
legislative measures. The calen-
dar of both Houses is so crowded
that it precludes consideration of
measures of a minor character be-
fore the final adjournment on
March 4. There are two or
three important legislative pro-
posals which will be accorded
hearings next month. The COM
mittees are disposed to discour-
age the introduction of bills and
petitions which will only find a
place in pigeon-holes of desks.

MONTGOMERY FORECASTS
RETTER LIVESTOCK PRICES

Better prices for hogs and cat
tie are foreseen in the near fu-
ture by J. S. Montgomery, gen.
eral manager of the Central Co
operative Commission Co.
Mr.. Montgomery's views, gwen
to the Farm Bureau, are as fol-
lows: Because of exceptionally
heavy receipts of hogs at all mid
west markets during the past
four weeks, it is our belief at the
present time that the hog sur
plus of the country will soon be
cleaned up and the receipts Will
be below normal by Feb. l, or be-
fore, which should cause favor
able price reaction with consider
ably higher market.
With reference to the cattle
market, we observe that in the
case of fat cattle there is much
larger spread between the short
fed and the long fed, well finish
ed, cattle than we have seen at
any time during the past three
years. Receipts of short fed cat
tie are very heavy and prices so
low that feeders are experience
ing losses in their feeding opera
tons. We would recommend
that, whenever possible, cattle be
carried on to a higher degree of
finish, as well finished cattle are
scarce and we believe will real
ize satisfactory prices throughout
the season."
