Too Much for the Elephant.
Perak Museum, in the Federated Malay States, has just received an interesting addition to its stock of curios. At Tapah a young male elephant, not yet accustomed to the methods of civilisation, disputed the railway track with a train. The animal vigorously butted at the engine and “held up” the train for an hour. The result of this curious duel was. however, never in doubt. The elephant was finally vanquished, and Perak is now the richer for his tusks.
