What,s the Ans~erP

Old elephant hunters who have hunt ed their quarry in India. Siam and the wilds of the Malay peninsula are agreed upon the following fact: Bury the carcass of 8 full grown tusker in any spot in Asia-it matters not wheth- CT the location be high and dry or low and damp--one year from the date of burial not a shred of hide nor a silver of bone can be found by dig ging. Neither disintegration nor ants can be an explana tion, for the phenome- non has been noted in the highlands of Nepal, where buried carcasses of other animals than the elephant under go little or no change within year, and elephants bones disappear in To- calities where ants are unknown. So far the scientists have failed to come forward with an answer.-DetrOit Free Press.
