The Indian or Asiatic elephant Is
q much more modern build than
the African cousin. The chief ex-
|ternal difference Is In the ears
Those Of the Indian elephant be-
ing one-third the size. The upper
margin does not fold where it bor-
ders the neck.
The dorsal profile Of the Indian
differs by having the crown Of the
head on the same level as the back,
instead Of the head being held
higher and sloping downward to the
withers as IN the African. In the
Indian elephant, the forehead is
markedly q valley separating two
knobs. The Indian elephant is a
foot or so shorter in height, but is
thicker through the hips and shoul-
ders. It weighs more, too.
Elephants are devoted to their
offspring. In their native haunts,
they sleep during the day, feed and
drink at night. Herds In Africa

Since early days man has con-
trived to circulate some tall yarns
about the elephant. These great
honest beasts have been endowed by
man with superhuman intelligence
and q remarkable memory. He has
been O. beast Of burden and q clown
to entertain men, women and chill
dren. All Of sthe publicity has been
unsought. The poor creature is
forced to travel thousands Of miles
from its home TO hot, crowded circus
grounds where 1t must perform
stunts to screaming crowds when 1t
would rejoice over q silent respite
in the cool forests.
Elephants are intelligent or they
could not be trained to do the diff
ficult stunts they do. Some trainers
are cruel. An elephant win revolt
and kill his tormentor. Young boys
In India, used to sit on the head Of
an elephant to drive him, guide the
giant with the slight pressure Of the
feet. One foot behind each large
ear, the driver has no fear whatever
of his steed. To turn him to right or
left, he presses the tender spot be-
hind the ear and the bulky animal
turns.
The story Of elderly elephants
trekking to D communal graveyard
Is fantastic. It sprang from the be-
lief Of ivory hunters who circulated
the story that priceless ivory could
