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- surprising pulling power.
