Elephants Of the Kongo.

From the Wide World Magazine.
In 1905 found myself near the Inzia
river, an important affiuent of the
Kwilu, flowing through fertile re-
gion which is infested by herds Of ele-
plants, a source of constant anxiety
and frequent losses to the agricultural
inhabitants. In a country like this.
where he is not hunted by man in the
ordinary way and the only means for
his destruction are cruel but easily
avoided pitfalls, the elephant is decid-
edly good natured. We were told by
the mission boys at Pana that in the
rainless season, when their usual
haunts are dried UP, the elephants fire.
quently wander near the river and at
tack the plantations. The natives try
to drive them away with sticks! But
It IL no good hitting them or throwing
stones at them" I was told! "they gem
orally refuse to take any notice. Some
times q mother with q calf will turn ON
US and chase US for q hundred yards or
30, but no real harm is meant and the
animal Is not really angry. for all the
signs Of fury-spread ears and raised
trunk-are absent All the same We
do run away. although We know there
is no danger. One day boy fell when
thus pursued, but the elephant only
threw sand on him"
AS l have myself seen a man just
pushed out OF the way by one Of these
good-natured monsters. when the ami
NAL had more than enough provoca-
tion to kill him, was inclined 20 ac-
oept this account ~ true.
