ports of Burma. It In to valuable that It in
aold by the ton, and It brings in I7.OW.000
or SS.OOO.OOO a year. The trees ure girdled
In th forests and after cutting are floated
down the streams and rivers tf Rangoon.
Both In the foreits Hj at the ports the
handling of the Umber Is done by ele
phants. They drag the lora to the streams
and arrange the booms; they stack the
planks and they carry all sorts of lumber
t the direction of their masters. Every
sawmill baa Its elephants and there are
some cempasias which employ several hun
Th average Institution, however,
can afford but few. for the animals are
costly, a green ono bringing 1400 and a prise
worker often as much as 1.V0.
The elephans come from the forests of
Vpper Burma. The wild ones are all
owned by the government, which has an
elephant department to catch and care for
(hem. The elephant commissioner keeps
track of the wild herds and annually sends
out men to bunt them and catch the young
bulls. The cow elephants and a certain
number of the bulla are turned back lato
the forests. The bull calves are kept and
trained and are finally being retained for
the government use.
' In bunting the elephants, they are some
times captured In pits and sometimes led
Into corrals by means of tame elephants
trained for the purpose. The tame beasts
mix with the wild ones and lead them Into
the pens, whereupon the elephant hunters
sort out from the wild ones those they
wish to keep and turn the others back into
the forests. Most of the elephants at Ran
goon have come from the government
herds.
la the Le taker Yards.
I wish I could show you some of the
huge beasts at work In the yards. They
lift great logs on their tusks and stack
them In piles. They carry timbers to the
saws and lay the planks in order for ship
ment. Their every action shows reason and
they seem to calculate cause and effect.
At one sawmill I saw two beaata, each as
gether. . Each had a Burman, clad In
big as Jumbo,' piling lumber, working to
turban and gown, seated upon his head,
and he was directed by him. The man
used both hand and heel as well as word
of mouth to tell the elephant what to do,
and in addition a sharp brass hook which
he Jabbed into bim if he did not obey. The
logs handled were of great weight. I
measured some which were twenty ft-et
long and thick as a cider barrel. Either
of these two elephants could lift one such
log on his tusks and carry it across the
yard. lie would kneel down before the
middle of a log, crowd hla tusks under it
and then, throwing hla great trunk over
the top, would raise it bodily and carry It
to the truck upon which Is was to be
pushed to the buxs saw. If the log proved
very heavy he would rest one end on the
ground' and drag It.
In toother part of the yard I watched
an elephant piling lumber. He mould lift
the timbers up and lay them down on the
ethers as evenly as though he hsd meas
ured each piece. Sometimes he rested a
Vog on the pile and pushed It into place
with his trunk. At ottur times he kicked
It up ith his right hind foot. In some
eases where It was neceasary to caiTy two
legs at a time the men tied a ropi around
them and the elephant would pick up the
end of the rope with his trunk and placa
tt aver his tusk and then, raising his iitad.
walk off with It.
The elephants gather up the scraps of
lumber and lay them ao that the workmen
can rope them into bundles They also
work at piling the boards and loading them
for the steameia
The managers tell me many of these
beasta are employed In the forests and
at the lumber camps up country. They
are used for all sorts of heavy transpor-

When on Ivbruaiy a the lihltiouse

thought little of the solitude. He was
faithful to his duty, and for a day vr two

taticn. Ther not onW carry the logs to
the streams, but aid In forming the rafts
and booms. Tliey wade or swim about,
according to the depth of the water, tow
ing the lops this way and that. When
the logs come to the ports they break
the booms by pushing out the key log.
They then take the timbers out of the
water and put them on the cara, which
earry them to tlje mills.
. In some places the elephants work to
gether, and I am told there are boss ele
phants which keep the others up to their
work and pound them with their' trunks
when they lag. In some yards each ele
phant has Its own job, one class being
used to carry bay for the stables and to
mix the bran, molasses and other food
which form the dally rations of the
beasts in that establishment.
Beasts Watch Waiek the Clack.
These elephants at Rangoon are partic
ular as to their working hours. They seem
to almost watch the clock, for they get
restless as the noon hour approaches and
top now and then to wait for the bell.
When the whistle sounds and the bell'
rings at 12 o'clock they will drop what
ever they have on their tusks and bolt
for the feeding sheds. It Is the same at
night.
I am told they have to be carefully fed
and that each must have his bath twice a
day. At one of the yards I saw them
washing the beasts. The elephants sat
down while buckets of water were thrown
over them. After that their masters
UUB" rougn orusnes ana
curried them, as It were, all over. As
the water was dsshed upon them they
wagged their tails and flapped their ears
and grunted in Joy.
I asked one of the men if the beasts
were hard to handle. He replied: "No,
sight of a mouse, for fear, perhaps, that
the animal may run up his trunk. As
I left one of the sswmills 1 threw a
piece of silver to the man on the biggest
elephant. He rubbed the beast's head
with his heel and thereupon the elephant
threw his great trunk high Into the air
and gave me a royal salute.
