Of northern MashonAland. This h but
the poor remnant Of the innuGasEsssaS
herd that some SIXTY or seventy yUAm
ago ruamed in freedom over moss %
the South African interior. Tho natural
excitement Of the chase. the love Of ad-
venture. the desire Of gain and the staady
advance Of COLONIZATION. these things all
combined have had tho eject Of causing
the determination Of the elephant in
South Africa.
The plan that ID advocated by the
French society for tho preservation Of
the herds in Central Africa h for tho 60
Establishment OF sanctuarios. This plan
has already been tried In several of the
EnglSsh Possessions. There h a sanctu-
AIRY within few miles Of Port Elisabeth
In the Knysna forest. where largo herds
are protected and wander around un-
molested 500 miles distant from the
nearest spot where other Wild elephants
are found. In the British Central AM

Shire River known ~ the elephant
marshes. where there IL a considerable
herd. There are also reserves in Trans
vaal, RhOdesia. Uganda and Somaliland.
But in spite Of these efforts the elephant
ss disappearing The slaughter h not
through European hunters. but n
through African natives. who. since the
introductio ion Of firearms and the increas-
ing value of ivory. have killed elephants
regardless Of size or sex in the great
Congo district.
For the year ended with March, 1908.
therc were imported into England alone
$50 tons Of ivory. Taking the average
t,lsk 90 weigh forty pounds. this means
the death OF morn than 1000 elephants.
Practically all this ivory came from
Africa. The figures show an increase
over those of the preceding year that
seems to have a considerable significance
when taken In connection with the well
known fact of the steady decrease 81 the
African herds.
There seems to be little likelihood
that the African elephant can ever be-
made a. useful member Of society a.
the Indian elephant. Not that the
African when caught would prove more
difficult 60 train than the Indian, but
that owing 20 the very different condi-
tons existing in Africa Il would prob
ably he impossible 20 obtain them in
quantities large enough for commercial
purposes. Besides the native African
