In forwarding a report by Vie< nsul General Lucion Mcmmingci the experiments being made al >i to domesticate and train deants for transport service, Consu 'uernl -lames A. Smith, of Boma ys that the question of transport is 0 of the most difficult with whicl e Kongo administration has to deal d the report seems of great interest showing that the African elephant 1 etofore of value only for his ivory \V in future contribute in no smal Jasure to a solution of the problen regions difficult of access by othe 3aus. The report rends: Experiments in the domestieatioi (1 training of elephants in the Kon Free State indicate that they cai used to advantage for porteragi >rk in regions where the opening uj the country is most dillicult be nse of lack of transportation facili >s. Contrary to tho general belie at Cent nil African elephant* couh t be tamed and made to perforn e same service as their Asiatic fel ws in India, a bulletin issued by th ongo Government announces tli mplete success of experiments con icited at an "elephant farm ''' at Api tlie t ele district in t^ie northeri tttion of the State. Practical Results Attained. Ilcie a small herd of young elf 'ants has been kept in captivity to veral years and finally, after nttfe! tort, in training them, satisfaetor, suits have been obtained. Thts di ctor of the elephant station, }n a fcitil report, says these experiment sm'oiistrate tlwit the Africa*, elc i?iit can live in captivity, asid tha ' '8?od 'treatment they can be in iced to perform labor. Already th dest members of the clcpfeiirit fan Api execute the porterage an action work of the stimwii. The ny drivers on their backs and pae ddles with loads. Some Vt.*aw wag leltes an-il others are "trauned t^ *aw the plough. None of the animals are more tha years ok\, and .since the "Indian elc units are most efficient, ai the adul :e, lo years, il is believed even bet r results may be looked Tor. Mortal v anions the elephants newlv cap red has been great, anrt as yet i is not. been possible to attempt, t. ecd thorn in captivity, 'but exper nee is saving the problems of do rustication; the deaths are now few id fresh recruits are constantly be g added. With a beginning- thu ide I lie scope of t ho work at Ap Jl doubtless be enlarged and even ally, it is expected, elephant earav s will be established. Success ii 0 undertaking means a great dea r ilie future of (he country. I)e ite railroads and steamboat lines e Kongo wili always be a coimtn forests and of savannas intellectwith swamps. ie and Conversation of Elephants Luropean slock .Iocs not survive ii 1 .tropical heat, and native carriers ii be employed wily to a limited font. The elephant i- not af'ecte.' the tse-?.<e fly; i- ..an foyl ,, ( eply embanked nnd vapid streams, d, of still greater importance can >ss the swamps la-id cncou'i?d so frequently in the up' Kongo anl so so often barr to men on foot. In establishing es of communication to the regions difficult of access and to supplent the regular commercial routes pliants may prove indispensable, cy should he of even greater value the white man penetrating Cen t tral Africa than in I ho jungles of Hindustan. j : Probably in no part of Africa are ! elephants found in greater number 1 than in I lie basin of the Kongo. ReI coiling before tlie advance of eiviliza' lion, herds which once thickly occupied all the humid countries of Central Africa?more especially in tne reuion from I T degrees noi,!t latitude t , southward?are now thinning or else ' j gathering in regions inaccessible to ' I hunters. They still range freely in ", m:\ny perls of the Kongo, though not, J easily found near posts long estab'' lished. I ! I White hunters must obtain, at a I cost of .">00 francs ($0(>.o0,) a permit 1 for killing them as game or for ivory, 1 j and the number allowed to be killed '.by each hunter is limited, as well as 5 the time validity of the permit. Na' | lives must also obtain permission to < i kill them. By these provisions whole- < ' sale slaughter is in a measure check- < ' ed and the supply for ivory thus par- j '.tially preserved. Hut for the per- f ' j inanent preservation of this source of J , wealth and of the species the experi- J ', mails in domestication at Api also [ ' i have their value. ? Characteristic of the African Type. | j By closely studying the habits and I J characteristics of Central Africa ele-j" j phants in the work at the Api farm I'] I much information of scientific value | ( j about the comparatively little known ^ I Kongo variety was obtained. In the ! region of vast plains cut by rivers ;' and swampy streams of the Uele dis- ^ f.trict the elephants thrive. They live t I especially in the marshy regions, i -! feeding on the grass of the plains, in 1 j the early morning and returning to ,; the shelter of nearby forests when < the sun's rays grow warm. Rarely are i . the solitary "rogue" elephants met I in the Kongo. The African species t. are found generally in families of c , | three to six individuals, but troops ,! of 20. !?0 or 100 individuals arc not . 1 rare, and witnesses even affirm that ^ ij troops of several hundreds exist, r | Shunning man and as a rule fleet- ' ling at his approach, the African elei j pliant when attacked often shows - ; fight and is dangerous prey. Kongo i specimens have to a marked degree [?j the characteristics which distinguish j them from the species of Asia. These, ^ . to outward appearance, are particul. arly the form of the skull and the f very large ears. The latter even I stretch back beyond the neck and n eo\er part of the flank. In coloi 1 . the Kongo elephants are of a grayish j P blue, almost slate-like tint. No one e has over reported seeing specimens of ? the Sacred white elephant of India i hero. Tn size Kongo elephants have ii been killed more than 14 feet high at the withers and reckoned at more than eight tons in weight. Tusks obtained! 1 arc sometimes more than 200 pounds in weight, ami six feet and a half Hn , length. h y BLUE BRIDGE SCHEDULES.
