CAPTURING ELEPHANTS.

Poor days' march inland from Quiloa, which is on the east coast of Africa and 860 miles' above Madagascar., we cams into the llephant country and made a permanent •amp. My order* from the Hamburg boose were to secure at least five elephants all TO and deliver tbem on board ship at Qniloa. Our party consisted of three white men and forty-two .natives, and we had wren hones ind six teams of bullocks. Among the nattrea were several. fellows who had hunted the big game with white men, and who were pretty thoroughly posted as to the creatures' habits. It would have been almost as easy ho shoot an elephant as a bnffalo, but to captore one alive and get him down to the coast w*a a different matter. Had we had a •ouple of tame elephants the task would have been far more simple, but there was nothing of the kind in that part of the country. I took from the ship a large supply of ropes, chains, tackle, straps, blocks and whatever eMe might come handy, and as soon as we had established our camp we b«pm to look around for game.

Almost every species of wild beast makes some particular spot Its home for a longer or ihorter period. In Africa every quadruped Is constantly on the move, and if limited at all it is to a large section of country ingtwiH of a particular strip. The gnu, eland, antelope, deer and buffalo go in large droves, and never seem to tire, ana the elephant will not remain in any particular locality more than a day unless there are strong reasons for it. We had our camp in a thlok grove about two miles from a forest through which we knew elephants ranged, and orders were given against firing guns or moving about more than was necessary. An elephant will take the alarm as quick as a deer, and when once frightened he may not cool down for hours. After a couple of days four or five of us made a scout to the forest, and we were delighted to find evidences that it was a favorite resort. The forest was a strip about nine ailes long and two miles wide, thrusting Itself down into a great plain like a *«ngn» About opposite our camp it narrowed to a width of half a mile, and further down it was cut short off, though there were groves nattered all over the plain.

We were rejoiced to find that this strip of forest was a veritable highway for the elephants passing back and forth, while the f61iago was their choicest food. We spent two whole days getting the lay of the forest for «pveral miles, and we finally selected a particular spot to work on. It was in the narrowest portion of the strip, ami here we dug two pita and concealed them so nicely that the sharpest native would have mistrusted nothing. When all was ready we retired from the forest and posted a native in the nearest grove to act as sentinel for the remainder of the day. This grove was about an acre in*fcxtent, with the trees standing very thick, and we were about moving off, after instructing the native, when we heard a trumpet blast and a mighty rash. The blast of a mad elephant in his native wilds is a sound never to be forgotten. Each one of us instantly realised that we had come upon ui old "rogue," and that we were in deadly peril. An elephant who has become a crank and deserted his troop or been driven away is more dangerous than any other living thing. Bis sole thought is to destroy, and he loses all •enseof fear.

Had we been mounted we could have scattered and outrun him, but we were all on foot, and our only safety was in sticking to the grove. When we heard him coming we lodged right and left and hurried deep into the grove. The old fellow had the eyes of a lynx, and, whonling from his first charge, ha laemed determined to hunt us all down. Bach one of us dodged on our own account.

THE CRAWFORDSVILLE WEEKLY REVIEW

tnus distracting Ma attention, bat ha finally pursued one of tha natives so closely tha man had to take to a tree. Ho didnt have kis choice, either, and was utotnutaljr lriven to shelter In a tree about aa large around as a man's body. Ho was barely out tf reach whan the mad brute arrived at tha trunk. I was In a much larger tree about torty feet away, and ooold plainly aee the movements of the beast. He was an old bull, tarrying heavy tusks, and he was mad all »ver. He tried hard to push tha tree over, and though he could not succeed he sfiook Ihe native around to is to give him a bad fright.

In order to call the brute off I fired at hi™ teveral times with a revolver. Each bullet hit him, but of course did no damage. He, however, refused to leave the tree, and after itanding for a moment in thought he put his ihoulder against it, surged forward, and, after iwaying back and forth half a doeen times, the tree broke short off about ten feet from the ground. The native was expecting it, and as the top crashed through the treeehe taught at a limb and pulled himself into a large tree. The elephant soon hecama aware »f hiseecape, and likewise recognized the fact that all of us were out of his rsach, and, after trumpeting his disappointanent, be slowly retired and gave us opportunity to come down. We left the grove as quietly as possible and made haste back to camp. We must move at race. The "rogue" eleph4ot does not travel about much, and his being in the grove wasa menace to us. Should ha discover our camp be would attack us off hand. We at once Pitched up our teams, struck our tents, and removed to a grove two miles away. While not entirely safe here, we migkl escape observation. On two sides of us the approach was marshy, while on the others it was rather broken. Next day after our removal it rained, and none of us left the grove.

On the morning of the seoond day, just as we were rolling out of our blankets, a cry from half a dozen natives alarmed the camp. As I turned my eyee in that direction, and beheld a sight which made my hair stand on Hid. That "rogue" elephant wason the piaia about half a mile away and making a bee Une for our camp. He was swinging his trunk in an angry way, aad'his speed was something terrific. Three or four of us sprang for our rifles, but he would have been among us before we oould have fired a shot had not an accident happened. He charged at us over the marshy ground, and two hundred feet fsom the wagons the ground grew so soft that be sank to his knees floundered ahead a few feet, and then rolled over on his left side. He was out of breath with his run and hia fall, and then was the time to take him. As he lay there roaring his dismay and anger, we got eat the ropas aad chains and daehed for hia legs. Wo got nooses ovsr both kind legs and carried the free ends to the crest tree, and then we bad the old fellow for sure. He was ao mad that he actually shed tears, and he trumpeted until be tired his machino out After we had him fast •very man cut a stick, and for two hours we beat every part of the beast we could reach.

Moreover, we walked on him, kicked him, ealled him nam as, and degraded him in every possible way. This was by the advice of the natives, who said that it would soon break his spirit and cause him to give up. All day long the momter lay on his side in the muck, boiling over with rage, but helpless. He put in the night there, too, and next morning hia spirit was broken. We cast the noose free from one teg, got a pry under his hips, and after an honrto hard work put him on his feet and got him to solid land. The fight had all been taken out of him, and he would cower whenever any one shock a club at him. When the natives washed him up a dozen great scars were revealed on his shoulders and flanks as proofs that be was a lighter, and my head man, who had lived in the elephant country all his days, computed the beast's age at 110 years.

No animal becomes docile and tractable as quick as the elephant. He must be conquered by fear, and when once he gives in you have only an occasional tantrum to look out for. We kept right at our captive, flogging and bulldoaing and giving him to understand that wa were boss, and at the end of three days he was as humble as pie. We oould make no use of him as a hunter, as we had no rig, and as none of the men had had any experience in driving an elephant but we thould have no trouble in getting him to the •oast, and he was worth several thousand iollars.

It was ten days after his capture that one of our scouts brought word that a troop of elephants had appeared in the forest. We had suspected this by the uneasy movements of our captive. It did not seem possible that be could soent his Idcd four or five miles away, but his actions went to prove that such was the case. We bad him securely fastened by one hind leg, but be did not try to break away. On the contrary, he acted vexed and out of sorts, and now and then uttered a blast of defiance. It was easy to see that he would have a hostile greeting for any elephant coming our way.

The troop of elephants reported by the scout numbered thirteen, and were five or six miles above us. Mr. Williams, my assistant, took a portion of the men and made a detour so as to strike in behind the troop and drive them down, and five or six of us stationed ourselves at the southern limit of the forest. It was hoped that in driving the beasts back and forth along the narrow neck at least one of tbem might get a tumble into a pit, and it was with great anxiety that we waited their coming. It was about 4 o'clock in the afternoon when we caught sight of them. After they had crossed the neck we closed up and sought to drive them back, but they had become frightened, and the job was too great for us.

They broke off to the right and left the cover of the woods for the open plain, and we felt some anxiety as we saw that they held a straight course for our camp. The three of us who were mounted pursued at a gallop, and we were witnesses of a curious incident. The troop were headed for the grove in which we had encamped, and were about half mile away, when our captive "rogue" uttered three or four shrill blasts,-und suddenly apjieared in tight, having broken the rope which held him to a tree. lie made straight for the troop, challenging a- he came, and the beasts no sooner saw him l^an they exhibited fear and confusion. Thoy halted, turned to the right and the left, and were all mixed up when the old chap came down upon them like a landslide. The first one he struck was a half grown elephant, and he knocked him flat on the crass and rol:.xl him over and over, Then he sailed in clean out the shanty, and the blows from his trunk could be heard a mile away.

Such a cloud of dust was kicked up that we soon lost sight of particulars, but in a few minutes the troop bolted off at right angles and soon entered a grove, and we drew near to find the old "rogue" standing over the one he had rolled over. He seemed to be waiting for us to come up, and after a little the native who had had most to do with him ventured doee up. I rode off and got a rope, and this was made fast to the captive's legs, and he was encouraged to get on his feet. Then the old chap steered bim straight for camp while we followed, holding to the ropes. Once or twice the kid showed a disposition to bolt, but the big one gave Mm Naoundinjc whack with hia trunk and curbed Us ambition Wa made him fast to &

Ammonia, in Baking: Powders. [From the Scientific American.] Among the recent discoveries in science and chemistry, none is more Important than the uses to which common ammonia can be properly put as a leavening agent, and which indicate that this familiar salt is hereafter to perform an active part In the preparation of our dallyifood.

The carbonate of ammonia is an exceedingly volatile substance. Place a small portion of it upon a knife and hold over a flame, and it will almost immediately be entirely developed into gas and pass off into the air. The gas thus formed is a pimple composition of nitrogen and hydrogen. Mo residue is left from the ammonia. This gives it its superiority as a leavening power over soda and cream of tartar used alone, and lias induced its use as a supplement to theso articles. A small quantity of amuionia in the dough is effective in producing bread tlut will be 'lighter, sweeter and wholesomer than that risen by any other leavening agent. When it is acted upon by the heat of baking, the leavening gas that raises the dough Is liberated. In this act it use9 itself up, as it ere the ammonia is entirely diffused, leading no trace whatever. The light, fluffy, flu: appearance, so desirable in buscuit9, etc.,and so sought after by professional cooks, is said to be imparted to them only by the use of this agent.

and the "rogue" then took his old place without a hint being given him and was refastened.

It was next morning before we could examine our pits, and then we found another captive. A big bull elephant was lying on his side in one of them, while the other had been avoided. This animal was in the London Gardens for twenty years under, the name of "Old Royal," and was afterward sold to go to Germany. We got him out of the pit by digging around him, and then using a block and tackle to lift him to his feet. He had been three days without food or drink when we got him out, and his spirit was pretty well broken. Hia great sice not only made him an attraction in Europe, but one of hie tusks was so singularly marked as to excite tho attention of all naturalists. About midway of its Wugth the left tusk had a blood stain as big as a rilver half dollar. It looked ae fresh as if spattered on only a moment before, but it was found to extend clear through the tusk. Our three captives were got down to the coast without the least trouble, and our luck in making three such captures in tha short space af twenty days has never been equaled by menagerie men in any land. The old "rogae" who oat out to annihilate us brought all ear good luck.— New York 8un.

The bakers and baking powder manufacturers producing the finest goods have been quick to avail themselves of this useful discovery and the handsomest and best biMd and cake are now largely risen by the aid of ammonia combined, of course, with other leavening material.

Ammonia is one of the best known products ot the laboratory., If, as seems to be justly claimed for it, the application of its properties to the purposes of caoking, results in giving us lighter and more wholesome bread, biscuit and cake, it will prove a boon to dy»-
