rORKING KONGO ELEPHANTS.
teresting Exeriments Being Car
ried on in Africa.
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

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.
