Lieutenant-Colonel James Campbell, a brave
and talented officer, affords us the following
particulars of a personal adventure in Cey
loo:
I was reading to begui'.e the time during
the beat of the day (says the colonel) when
one of the servants ran into our but, in great
alarm, exclaiming that be had just seen an
elephant in a clump of trees, to which be
pointed, not more than three hundred yards
off. I, at leaet, had no with to encounter
such an antagonist, if I could avoid doing so;
but it was in council deemed adviiable to
dislodge him, as otherwis s we might have to
move our encampment; and to do so none of
us were inclined. It was therefore settled
that we should attack him; that is, if we
could not by any other means Induce him to
retire, and that too without delay. Having
carefully loaded our guns with brass balls,
we moved forward all three together; the
Malays, who seemed greatly to enjoy the
fun, forming a supporting column in our
rear. It was also arranged, that if the ele
phant stood his ground, I was to have the
first shot; how then was it possible for me not
to perform my part upon the occasion? By
entering at a projecting point of the jungle,
and being led much against his will, by the
servant who said that he had seen the ele
phant, we were able to come within a short
distance of him, before he could perceive us.
When he did so, or rather when he beard
the noise which we could not Avoid making
in approacbiog him, however cautiously, he
suddenly turned round upon uscracklogand
breaking the smaller trees and branches, as
he ahuflled forwatd< towards the edge of the
clump of jungle, so as to face us I think
we were tnen not more than fifteen yards
from bis head. I fired, and my two compan
ions did so likewise and with the utmost
coolness; when down fell the huge creature
quite dead, almost at our feetl But to our
amazement, away went some other elephants
and a buffalo, willed we bad no idea were in
tbo middle of Ibe cover, trumpeting loudly
and crashing every thing that obstructed
their passag-; and most fortunately for us,
they did not seem to have missed their un
lucky companion, as wc could hear them, for
sometime, continuing their impetuous course
through tbb juogle, and towards the wooded
hills to the eastward. As for the buffalo, in
her hurried attempt to escape, she took to
the rigbt and thus fully exposing herself, Mr.
F??? fired his second barrel at her, which
breaking One of her fore legs she fell, with
a great crash, not more than twelve yard*
from us; aad whilstabe was endeavoring to
rise, Mr. C sent the ball from his other
barrel through her body, which iustautly
ended her sufferings. I confess, bowsver,
I should have been glad bad she escaped, aa
abe seemed to be only half wild. We had In
this instance managed admirably, and we
Vrere therefore notalittle proud of ourselves;
for upon examining the elephant, which,
though large bad v-ry short tusks, we found
that no less than two of the balls had en
tered the brain, and the third had penetrated
the head from the root of the trunk. This
feat was performed and were all back in the
huts, talkipg the matter over, -in less than
half an hour from the time we had left
WWt. _ - . . J
The yonng elephants which are reared In
the British Indian settlements are principal
ly produced by the females that are taker
wild at ths time they are in calf. It does
not appear that there fa any difficulty In the
education of these Utile ones, who are ao
customed to a domestic state from their birth;
but that they are gradually accustomed to
bear busthene, and become obedient to the
commands of their keepers. In ths kingdom
of Ava, where the female elephants belong'
ing to the king are in a state of balf-wlldness,
there is considerable trouble in reducing the
young ones to Fuomission.
When we consider the enormous strength
of the elephant, which enables him to break
through all ordinary means of confinement,
and at the same time regard not only his
ability to resist any violent attack, bat his
sagacity to elude any common stratagem, it
must be evident that the business of his cap
ture must be a task requiring equal conrage
and activity???great skill and presence of
mind in the individuals engaged in it???and,
when.conancted upon a large scale, a combi
nation of human force such as is seldom
need except in the more prodigal game of
war.
The rudest mode o! taking the elephant is
by digging a pit in his native forests, which
is covered over with loose boards and the
boughs and grass upon which be feeds. This
is mentioned as the custom of Ceylon a cen
tury ago; and the 8leor Brae describes this
as the mode of taking the elephant for his
flesh, by the Africans of Senegal. Mr. Wil
liamson states that in places where the na
tives find the elephants destructive neigh
bors. they dig a pit covered with a slight
platform of branchts and gnus, towards
which ths herd is seduced by a tamo tie'
pliant, when the leading pursuer is pr.cipl-
' ap. snfi the remainder retire
tated into the trap, si
in grest alarm. This practice ia evidently
not very sncceasful; and we apprehend that
the instinctive camion of the elephant not
to tread upon any insecure ground must ren
der it unavailing, except when 'his natural
prudence gives away to the more powerful
impulses of terror or desire. ???The inode of
getting elephants out of pits," according to
Mr. Williamson, ???is somewhat carious,
extremely simple. The animal Is for the
most part retained nntil sufficiently tracta
ble to be conducted forth; when large bundles
of jungle grass tied up into sheaves being
thrown to him, be fa gradually brought to
the surface, at leaat to such an elevation as
may enable him to step out." The elephant
will do the same if he la awamped in boggy
ground, thrusting the bandies of grass and
straw Into the yielding earth with his heavy
feet, and placing them so around him with
hla trunk that he at last obtains a firm foot
ing. Fltny, who mentions the manner of
taking elephants in pits, says that the com
panions of the unfortunate animal who ia
thui captured will throw branches and mastea
of earth into the hole to assist in bis deliv
erance.
In Nepanl, and in the countries bordering
on the northern frontiers of India, where the
elephants are of a small s'xe, they are often
captured by the natives with a phaum, or
slip knot. This practice has some analogy
with the custom of taking bones with the
lasso, Id the Pampss The banter, seated on
a docile elephant, round whose body the
cord is fastened, eingles ont one from the
wild herd, and cautiously approaching,
throws bis pliable rope in such a manner
that it rcs-s behind the ean, and over the
browe of the animal pnnued. He instinct
ively curls up bis trunk, making an effort to
remove the rope; which, with great adroit
ness on the part of the hunter is then passed
forward over the neck. Aaother hunter
next comet op, who repeat! the process; and
tbns the creature i> held by the two time
elephants, to whom tbepbauns are attached,
till his strength Is exhausted. It would ap
pear quite imp'sAble to take a large ele
phant in thia manner; although with those
of a peculiarly small breed the operation
does not appear more difficult than that of
securing the wild bone or the buffalo in the
plains of Booth America.
It it remarkable that in every mode of
canturing the wild elephant, man avails
himself of the docility of individuals of the
same species, which he has already subdued.
Birds miy be laugh: to ass-st in ensnaring
other birds; but this is simply an effect of
habit The elephant on the contrary, hsB
an evident desire to join its master in sub-
doing its own race; and, in this treachery to
its kind, exercises so much ingenuity, cour
age and perseverance, that we cannot find a
parallel instance of complete tuOjection to
the will of him to whom it was given to
???have dominion over the flab of the sea, and
over the foals of the air, and over every liv
ing thing that moveth upon the earth.???
The various modes, of capturing wild ele
phants in India have undergone little varia
tion tor several centuriea; and they are more
or lees practiced in all parts of Asia where
elephants are still required to maintain :he
splendor of oriental luxury???to assist in the
pomp and administer to the pride of dec
potic monarchs; or, as is the caw in the Brit
ish eastern establishments, to Dear the heavy
equipage of an Indian camp, or to labor in
tue peaceful occupations of transporting
those articles of commerce, which ore far too
weighty to be moved by the power of the
horse or camel.
A Boneless Man ???A correspondent trav
eling in Kentucky, says in a recent letter:
Two days after leaving BArbourville I spent
the night at the cabin of a poor farmer
among the hills, and daring a social family
conversation, la which I participated, steer
supper, some one Incidentally spoke of
Hector Davis, ???the man without boue.??? 1
Immediately asked what was meant by the
expression, when my host explained that
Hector Davis was one of their ???neighbors,"
living some three miles farther oa among tue
mountains, and that he actually had not a
bone in his body. Aa I expressed some
skepticism, he volunteered to suow me over
to Hector???s the next morning. We knocked
at the door of the Davis cabin about 0 o'clock
next day, and the first thing that strucx tny
attention upon entering was a middle-aged
man sitting bolt upright and supported by a
rude and peculiarly suaped Dame work.
He was introduced to me as Hector Davis
I at once entered into conversation with
him, and discovered him to be a man of fair
Intelligence, and eager to tell all about him
self, In a votoe that was as strong aa my own.
Igrasp:d hla hand upon first entering, Duthia
dugeis all roiled up together like a caobage
leaf in a mushy sort of way tuat made me
glad to let go of them. Taking hold of hla
limbs they yielded to the pressure until they
were flattened oat to twice their proper
width. The only Indication of boue was in
his skull, which, while pliable almost as
shoe leather, still offered a kind of protection
10 the poor fellow???s brain.
His neck was limber as a dish cloth, and
when his head was released irom its support,
which was something in the shape of a sim
ilar contrivance used iu photograph galleries,
It rolled helplessly about upon his suoulders
like a foot'ball. HU arms drooped at his
tide, but with the aid of the muscle he was
enabled to partly raise the forearm, although
the hand curled over limply aud gave the
whole a sort of ztgzig shape. He abuflled off
his slipper, and requested me to step on his
foot. I did so, and it at once spread itself
out until it looked as if a railroad train had
passed over it. Italowly resumed its natural
shape, but it was fully a half bonr beiore
he was able to get the foot in his slipper
again.
"Ferhaps you would like to tie my leg in
a knot?'' no suggested.
I found no difficulty in performing this
feat, while my friend accomplished the mine
with the other leg, and after we had aLo lied
knots in both arms he presented a very
knotty problem, indeed, and ono that would
have aet a professional contortionist crazy.
When we had unraveled all the knots and
straightened his limbs again, ho requested us
to lift him gently from his frame work aad
place him upon the floor. This wo found no
easy task, for his body slipped about in our
arms like an eel, and it wasonly by securing
a Arm grip upon his clothing that we man
aged to keep him Dorn falling. We Anally
succeeded in straightening him oat apon the
floor, and then my friend, who seemed to
thoroughly understand the boneless man's
programme, seized a barrel standing near,
and which I afterwards learned contained
turnips, and swiftly upending it, at once pro
ceeded to roll it over the prostrate Davis,
from his toes up to his chin, and buck again
to hu toes.
The only manifestation ot pain he made
was when the barrel passed over his Lear,
and inogs, butitioft iiimin a horrible shape.
I can only describe it by compiling It to that
??? men tbrowr
of a min mode of mnd and tuen thrown up
and flattened against a wall. Bat I bad no
time to contemplate his flatness, os he almost
immidiately called to us in a rather weak
voice to ???roll him up.??? This we proceeded
to do by doubling his head over bis chest and
then continuing to ???roll him up" as you
would a carpet, until we came to hla feet,
and he formed a perfect cylinder about as
large around as a hair birrei. A voice
feebly piped frem the center of the cylinder
for us to unroll him, and we .toon Lad him
once more spread out over the floor.
Bai,Looking Possibilities.??????Will electrici
ty ever help us to navigate the air?"
"Yea* when we can get five or eix time*
more power per pound of weight than we
now get from tne beet forms of small engines
E ectrlcity has not done that yet. Here is
the problem.??? tapping hia knee stoutly with
his fist. "Wo want to get electricity from
coal direct without the intervention of boiler
aud engine. A good many people are at
work on it, too, I tell you."???
???You are not?"
???Ah, I won't tay yeti I won't eay even
that there is any probability about it???we
don't aee our way at all to it; but I will say
it is suiely possible. Zinc and other metals
we can get into electricity at once, but the
trouble is to do that with coal and carbon*, if
we coaid, we coulk get six hone power from
one pound of coal, while with the boiler and
???team engine we get only one horse-power
from three pounds of coal. We can???t trees
mlt directly the power of carbon. If we
could the ocean steamship could have all of
her boiler room and a great part of her coal
bankers for cargo, while the motive power
would not occupy more than half the room
at present devoted to the heavy engines.
Enormous turns would be saved on construc
tion and the coot of running would be greatly
reduced."
* Can not you get power enough by chemi
cal electricity to run electric engines?"
???Certainly???get all we want and utilise it.???
???Only????
???Only we can???t feed our engines with
money. In fact, it Is money we want, and
tor that we want the power. Zina it just as
mnch a combustible in the batterer or jar as
coal ia in the furnace. Bat coal develops
seven times as much power as zinc, and zinc
cost thirty-five times as much as coal, a dif
ference in cost per pound of 245, to I, or 24,-
500 per cent???
???But about the balloon????
"Well, having lightness with power, we
???bould only need enough biiioon tor actual
lifting power, and we would attain a very
high velocity. You could bold a ten bone-
rower motor ont in yonr band, and once in
heilr, with fire poanda of coal, could the
consumption be direct, the little jigger could
go anywhere. Nobody would want to tacend
the great heights where the air???e resistance to
the propeller would decrease, but ekfm along
over the trees and booses likes bird sbovs the
water. The rodders could all be worked, and
{ ronr ballastleee balloon coaid be raised or
owered, tamed to ths right or left, by ths
motor itself, end s boy could do sil the work.
Such sn arrangement could ecarcely do for
heavy freight, but it could carry paMugen
and mail matter, and express parcels, aud
move readily at eight to one bnndred milea
an bonr. If we can solve Ibe po aer question
we can do anything."???New York Hail and
Express.
A Bestasxabls Doo Stoet.???A Chase???s Hills
letter to the Boston Globs says that before
the thaw Mark Sampson lost his dog Shep.
Sbep was hit seen playing with Sampson s
other dog Spot on tne crust on Bonnetle hill.
Spot came home, but Shep could not be
found. Mark made inquiry of every man and
boy he met, but could hear notbiug of the
lost dog. He traveled three days on snow
shoes, but could not hear a word from Shop
One night, coming home late, hungry and
tired, after hours of unsuccessful searching,
he threw himself on the bed, and during the
sleep that followed Mark dreamed the dog
was In V. F. Bennett???s old abandoned weil.
He dreamed the same dream twee. Mark
had no faith in dreams, bnt to please hia wife
he went and looked down in the well. In the
blackness ho could see two stars. The weil
was thirty feet deep and dry. He' spoke to
the dog, and be could see the two stare
moving round. He could hear.no voice but
knew the two stars in the bottom of the well
wereShep'a two eyes. Then Mark cried:
???Dog in tne well I" three times. Mark is not
low-spoken in common conversation, and
when he yells he makes the hills and woods
lowered into the well When George reached
the bottom he found Sbep tickled almost to
death to see him. He had been in the well
four days and r,igb???s. He wasn???t hungry, but
was awfully dry Hla hunger had been atay-
ed in this remarkable manner. While he was
lying at the bottom of the old empty well,
Spot was hanging around Mr. Bennett's every
morning after breakfast and every evening
just after supper, when be would always be
thrown a liberal amount of food. In the bot
tom of the well the boy who went down in
the bucket was 6urprl??ed to find a consider
able nnmber of bones, and a piece or two of
well preserved meat, whloh seemingly had
been left over from Bhep'a last meal. The
path 1-ailing to the well, which Spot had
mid-, -'outplaits the story. He had substau-
uajiy remembered his companion who had
had the miaioreane to fall in the well.

Killed by Loneliness.???I bad a friend
whose vaulting ambition burled him by
chance into an abyta of despair. He came to
New Mexico, and sought seclusion as a tender
of sheep. He was intelligent, well educated,
gentle; principles of morality had been incul
cated In bis mind at an early age, and all
who knew him accorded him a desire to bo
honest and virtuous. Yet he went the way
of many. Some squatters found nim by thn
roadside one morning, dead. Finned to bis
coat was a card, which bore simply the ex-
cresslou, "It is lonely here." Yet the tourist
.'eels, when first he sees this country that he
could live here always, satisfied, oven though
alone.
I was given a lesson in etiquette by a Mex
ican young lady I met in the train. I chanced
to be the only man in the sleeping car when
it drew out from El Faso, and after an Intro
duction by the conductor, to whose charge
the lady bad been committed, she and I be
came quite well acquainted.
???I saw you eating an orange on the depot

to eat anything outside a bouse, even candy.

or a cigarette to light with, you must take a

grace, for my yonng lady was but 10 yean

tinental watershed of the Rocky mountains
and midway the state north and south. Out
there they speak of it merely aa a valley, but
within its bounds you might lay the whole
state of Massachusetts. Tots is an estimate
of area. On the other band, you might put
the whole population and available wealth of
this big valley into the bay atato without
anybody knowing it. Wait a century, how
ever, and then try it.
The Indians who, until the last two yean,
thought ?????? well of it in their way af the white
usurpers do now, bad various ways of reach
ing its sunny nooks: but the ordinary en
trance tor us is by the railway over Marshall
Pass. This railway is that courageous oanow
gauge line, the Denver and Rio Grande,
whose feats of engineering have astonished
the world. It runs from Denver 120 milts,
down the foot of the front (or (outermost)
range of the Rocky mountains at l'aebio, be

tains into the interior. And trust a passag'd t

Mississippi. Above Pueblo the river valley
ia hemmed in by bills and rocky walla for

A Child Carried Off by a Beak - -Quite
a ripple of excitement was caused in Milea
City, Montana, last week by the action of a
pet bear, the property of Mr. Charles Brown;
a prominent auctioneer and merchant of the
town. Mr. Brown captured a mate cub hear
about two years ago, and has raised him so
tbathe has become quite a pet among the
members of his family. He ususlly kept the
animal ehained in his backyard, but to-day
by some unaccountable means he broke Ills
bonds and roamed at large through the
afreets.
No damage was attempted by bruin until
he met a young child, about three years old,
who unsuspiciously walked up to the sluggy
brute and playfully pulled bis mane; foud-
ling the animal, believing him to be a large,
good-natured dog. The near, however, was
not peaceably Inclined, and, seizing the child
with bis rough teeth, be started at a rapid
pace for the foothill?, dragging his unfortu
nate victim with him.
The newe soon spread end the whole town
became aroused. Maxwell, the father of the
little one, overcome with horror at the dan
ger, perhaps fatal, hovering over his child, he
started in pursuit, armed with a Sharp???s rifle.
He soon overtook the savage monster, who
still retained his grip on bis prey. The father
hurriedly approached the bear, and without
danger to his off spring, ha shot him through
the heart The obiid way rescued, fortunate
ly with no serious damage, excepting a few
severe bruises from being dragged rapidly
over the rough ground, and also a uumber of
ugly scratches made by the beast???s sharp teeth
