Wisdom of the Elephant.

It appears from trustworthy anec-
dotes that the Asiatic elephants in .
few months of captivity acquire the
rules of conduct which it is necessary
to impose upon them. The speediness
of this intellectual subjugation may be
judged from the fact that, after a short
term of domestication, they will take a
willing and intelligent part in captur-
ing their kindred Of the wilderness,
showing in this work little or no dis
position to rejoin the wild herds. In
the case of no other animal do we find
anything like such an immediate adhe-
sion to the ways of civilization. We
have to account for this eminent pecul-
iarity of the elephant on the supposi.
ton, which appears to be thoroughly
justified, that the creature has. even in
its wild state, type of intelligence
and instincts more nearly like those or
men than is the case with any other
wild mammal.
