An elephant starts work at twenty-five or thirty years of age, and is supposed to be in his prime forty years later, but upon the age that elephants live there is considerable difference of opinion. As regards strength, a good tusker can easily lift half a ton on his tusks and drag a square of three tons weight, but to see an ele- phant really putting forth his strength one has to see him'at work in the jungle and creeks, where both log and elephant are sunk in the soft mud.
