Elephants Like Mr.. McCIoin,
For He Talks Their Language
Boss of Circus Herd Knows What 1t Is
To Be Slapped Around by Beasts, However

Elephants will attack people they
don't like by biting them, slapping
them with their trunks, slashing
them with their tusks and stamping
on them. None Of these methods is
designed to improve the condition
Of the recipient.
Mr.. McClain trains elephants to
do tricks just like you'd train a
dog. He explains to them what he
wants done and when they master
the trick, he slips them treat, such
as few carrots.
The first thing an elephant has
to learn is to stand still. Then the
bull is taught to "tail up"-to grab
with his trunk at the tail of the
elephant in front of him. This isn't
done just so the elephants will look
cute. 1t is done so they won't reach
out with their trunks and get into
mischief by swiping straw hats of
the customers.
They Talk, Too.
Elephants talk to each other and
to their trainers. They love to romp
and play. They are really afraid
of mice-or any small animal-and
at night they sleep with their trunks
curled up. They snore like every
thing.
An elephants trunk will hold
about two gallons of water. They
drink so gallons of water at clip,
sucking 1t into their trunks and
then spraying it down their throats.
Each elephant eats about 125
pounds of hay a day, plus a special
food mixture of grain and molasses.
There was an elephant with the
show one year that liked fish. Used
to swipe fish from the seals every
chance she got-and it always made
her sick.
Gesture of Rebellion.
This year, the elephants wear
skirts and dance in a ballet to the
music of Igor Stravinsky. They
don't like the music very we'll

marching rhythm-and the first
