ELEPHANT SHOOTING IN

· BURMA.

The unfortunate, occurrence of a tame elephant being shot in the belief it was a wild One has been decided against the European who shot the animal, says a recent Rangoon Times, and a decree for rs. 3,000 has been given in the District Coun of Mogok to the owner of the elephant. Evidence we believe was adduced by the plaintiff which apparently the judge believed, that the animal was in charge of a herdsman, and had a bell round its neck and a chain on its leg. The defendant as the other hand denies that there was any bell round the animal's neck, and states that there was no herdsman in charge when the fatal shot was fired. The Mogok district is a place where wild elephants do roam about, and only last year we believe wild elephants broke up a police tanga and put the inmates to the necessity of sucking safely in flight. Another story we heard recently from Mogok states that a military police officer was also very nearly shooting a tame animal. A Berman rushed up to him and said a wild elephant had broken Into his garden and was destroying his fruit trees. The officer at once went with his rifle to the place and was shown a convenient spot at which he could "pot" the depredator. Just as he was raising his rifle to do so one of his own followers rushed up and said the elephant was a tame one which had bruken loose. It proved to be the animal which had brought the officer's own traps into the village and, but for the fortunate circumstance that he was taking alm, there would perhaps have been another tamam plephant shot in mistake for a wild one. Independently of the risk people run when elephant shooting, and which in the present instance has rendered it such a costly sport, Europeana, at any rate, should know that elephant shooting is prohibited in: this. province by law. Exception might possibly be made in the case of wild elephants destroying crops or indeed property of any sort, hot those who go in for shooting elephants bere should know that they are law breakers against whom everything will be presumet in the absence of of evidence that they had good and sufficient ground for slaying such valuable animals Owners alia should, we think, be more careful than they usually are of their elephants. It is customary in many parts of Burma to bobbl the fore legs with cane, and to let the animal hose in the jungle to forage for themselves. Generally in such a case a bell or a wooden clapper is bum, round the animal's neck to assist the mahout in searching for it, but this is not invariably, the case, and very often the by which the belt is hung hucals by the animal rubbing itself against trees. EF its happens and the cane round the legs also breaks the animal at herty and some- unes travels mies before it is caught by the wwner and his men.

Burma

Such an animal might we be mist emf a wild one, and it i gets in with a herd has been. known-to become one and to be lest to his owner. It is. strange that owners do not take more 'caue of such costly animals. They are entrusted alien to a man on 19. 12 or is. tj per month whose pay perhaps is mouths in arrears, and yut one does not often hear of their being fost or stolen, whilst perhaps the law against elephant shooting protects them from the fate of the one whose value formed the subject of the recent decree in the Mogok district court. It is well that there should be this law, for eleph Ants are becoming scarcer and more expensive every year. They shotik be protected against wanton slaughter. But the law should be the same for the official as the non-official, and the government, should see that its own, officers, commissioners, "deputy camomiss ouers, and policemen all keep the law and set an example in this matter of pot shooting elephants to the non-official public. This has not hitherto been the case even in Lower Burma, where we believe wild elephants are not so numer- ous and aggressive as they are in the wilder parts of Upper Burma. In the Pegu dis. trict in the past twenty years nainerous elephants have been killed by officials and we have not heard of any having been shot by noncficials. The former occasionally look up. on themselves as a privileged class and 100 of ten act, especially in the matter of elephant shooting, as if they were above the law, where- Astley of all men should be the most scrupulous in keeping ite provisions, thereby setting a good example in the general public.

HISTORY OF AN UNFORTUNATE

SHIP.

Treatises on maritime law, however well; arranged in plan to secure consecutiveness and clearness, are usually dry and difficult reading, says a recent Fairplay. Mr. Albert Saunders, solicitor, gives life and interest to the subject by introducing a plot, so to speak, into his treatment of it. In his Maritime Law-Illus trated by the History of a Ship from and in- cluding the agreement to build her until she becomes a Total Loss" (price 215., Effingham Wilson, 11, Royal Exchange, E.C.), be deals in detail with the history of a steamer, the Malabar, and at every point discusses the questions which do or might arise in the light of the legal decisions of the present and past. Thus the Malabar gives occasion for continua! reference to leading cases, and those cases acquire an added interest by being applied to a concrete instance. To conduct matters in- structively on these lines Mr. Saunders has to place the Malabar in one scene of trouble after another. For example, we read on page 19, "having loaded her cargo, the Malabar proceeded to Mauritius, where she had to deliver some of the coffee. On her voyage there she encountered a severe hurricane, and just outside the harbour she was driven by the force of the burricane upon a rack (the rock is assumed to be there for the purposes of this work),"

SOME INSTANCES OF BASEL FULNESS.

Ernest Blum, in his Journal d'un Vaudevil: lists, according to the Staats-Zeitung, gives the following amusing instances of excessive bashfulness in actors and others;
