African Elephant Doomed

THE great quantity OF ivory an
nuanJ exported from Africa and
especially from the Congo Free
Stat, is causing much anxiety
for the future fate of the big king OF
the junsles. AS there are official sta
tistics Of the amount of ivory exported.
of how much is sold in year on the
exchanges Of London, Liverpool and
Antwerp, the exchanges Of ivory in
Europe. the weight of this ivory. the
number of elephants required TO furnish
it, there is no great difficulty in figuring
out approximately the number of years
it will take to annihilate the last Of the
elephants in Africa.
The year 1897 may be taken as q sam
pie. In that year there was sold in the
aforementioned exchanges ESQ tons OF
ivory 20 this should be added several
tons to come nearer the truth. but let
us be generous in cur mathematical cal
euIations It will give the elephant some
few extra years 70 live and will be
consolation to many. who cannot but

King Leopold Intervenes.

It is not the idea that all killisIg of the
elephant should be stopped. Ivory is the
best paying article to the Congo State,
and a. il takes colossal sums TO run that
country, ivory must be sold. But how or
where to draw the line between too
much and moderate killing of elephants.
King Leopold, of Belgium, sovereign OF
the Congo Free State, gave out already,
in 1889. Il royal decree forbidding the
white employees to hunt elephants.
But as there are between 20 600,0l0 and
50. 000, 0o0 natives in Congo who for hun
dreds of years have been killing ele-
plants without discretion, nor anyone
interfering with them, how can we ex-
pect them TO stop killing elephants. or
how can any control be kept on them
living in the jungles, as the most do. Be
sides, they are paid for ivory in mer-
chandise brought from Europe, and they
are immensely greedy for them. Thus
the fact remains that the determination
of the elephant goes on at q fearful rate.
Some elephants are born every year,
but in proportion to the killing. the
number must be small. The elephant cow
bears her babies between her twelfth
to eighteenth years, ard two are ALWAYS
horn at the same time So il can b. seen
that the process CT natural increase is
slow.

There are in this matter, fortunately,
some qualifying circum stances As the
natives for years and generations have
been hunting elephants IN Africa, mostly
for paStinle, l dare say, as they really
have little use for the brute. when dead,
they have been in the habit Of burying
the tusks. and now, since they are ex-
pected to pay d certain tax in ivory to
the Congo government, they have begun
to unearth large quantities of ivory.
Thus 1t is sure that part of the ivory
exported in the year 1887 was not from
freshly killed elephants
