She will take off hi« 112 THE INDIAN ELEPHANT. hat, and again put it on as often as she h com- manded : she will lie down, and rise up again : will unbolt and bolt the door of her den, when- ever the keeper orders her to do so. In unbolt- ing and bolting the door, it is to be remarked, that she does not merely use the finger of her trunk, but bends the extremity of this flexible instrument round the handle. If the keeper puts a shilling near the boards which divide the room from the staircase, ...out of the reach of the animal's trunks and orders her to pick it up, she imme- diately extends her trunk towards it, and blows hard against the boards. The blast moves the ghilling within her reach, when she seizes it, and will either deliver it to him, or to any person that he directs. As all the animals that are deposited in the me- nagerie at Exeter 'Change, are kept up one or more flights of stairs, it excites no inconsiderable degree of wonder, in most of the visitors, to con- ceive how such an unwieldy creature as an Ele- phant could have been conveyed into the place where it is exhibited.
