An Elephant's Strength.
The elephant is great as a
power. Experiments have
shown that a horse pulls about one-
sixth of its own weight, whereas an
elephant can poll its entire weight.
This might be emphasized by the
fact that an elephant is six times
as big as a horse. In India
it has been the custom to
utilize elephants to push instead of
pull wagons, but now it has been
shown that they are as
pullers. Two of them in carefully
arranged tests raised pounds.
One raised a safe weighing more
than n ton. That was dead weight,
and the feat, as one will see, is
from mere pulling.
at Bridgeport there was a tug of
war between elephants and a loco-
motive, in which the huge beasts de-
