When an Elephant is Crazy


Boston Post.
When we present the elephant
in possession of such intellectual
gifts as may be his, there has to be
considered the case of the elephant
that, being "must," is for a time
bereft of its sense. 1t is only the
male that suffers from this af1lic-
ton Of insanity but every male is
liable to it some time or other, and
unfortunately, may be attacked by
it without warning of any kind.
Some men of long experience of
elephant keeping say that the
"must" condition is preceded by
premOnitory symptoms, and if
taken in time, may, by diet and
treatment, be averted but without
presuming to contradict those bet
ter-tnformed people, | can aver
that | have known some of them
to be taken by surprise by the sud-
den "musting" of elephants under
their own immediate supervision.
Some elephants become demons
of cruelty when .must," as, for ex-
ample, a commissariat elephant
that, during my time in Oudh,
broke away from the Lucknow
lines and went over a considerable
tract of country, killing men,
women and children wherever it
found an opportunity of doing so.
l do not remember the total
number killed by that beast, but
it was sadly large. And, of course,
