Hungry Elephants Gratifying a Taste
for DaInties.

One favorite food of the African ele-
plant is the teuder, juicy roots of the
mimosa tree, which grows in scattered
groups through most of the meadows
and lowlands of Central Africa.
When an elephant finds a young tree
of this sort, it is not difficult, as a rule,
for him to get at the roots, especially if
the surrounding soil is moist and loose,
as is often the case after it had been
soaked by the heavy rainfalls of the
tropics.
If the tree is loose, the elephant,
knowing his strength, winds bis trunk
firmly round the tree, and placks it from
the earth, feat which is no harder for
him than the pulling upei a flower is for
a child.
But the elephant does not stop here;
experience has taught him the most COM
Portable way Of enjoying his prize, so
without relaxing his hold, he turns the
tree completely over and stands it with
/ its upper branches thrust down into the
/ place where the roots were. Then the
earthly roots, now replacing the branches,
I
remain within easy reach of the strong
and def trunk.
Sometimes an elephant will find tree
which deties his greatest efforts, and alb
solutely refuses TO be uprooted. But the
elephant does not give it up. Not at all.
He either brings another elephantto help
him--a thing they often do when the
work IS too much for one--or, if lie can
not iud friend, he sets his own wits to
work. He makes use Of his tusks ~
levers, thrusting them as if they were
crowbars, deep under the roots, ard
prizes away slowly and steadily until the
tree is loosened; and then with a great
wrench he completely uproots it and it
goes topping over, leaving the clever
Z elephant victorious Nicholas.
