tiaey said to :their
Elephant tife in Smith Africa.
•C.Ommeneing with the hugest speci
men of nature's 4andiwork, the ele
phant, :We' have' generally found two -
Mil:AB points overlooked or ignored by
Writers. .. One is the rapid and noiseless
movements of this animal in the thick
eat. cover; the other, his capabilities of
paSSifig over - ground for him apparently
unfeasible. The noiseleSs footfall of the
elephant has been freequently referred
to by writers on Indian subjects, and
has been rightly asserted to be the most
agreeable feature in journeying on ele
phant back. This peculiarity may be
easily•explained by an examination of
the t:tructure of the animal's foot ; . but
the'!silent, steifithy, way in which he
willt'Pass throngh the densest thicket,
literally " Slipprog away,". when his
twine senses of smell or hearing warn
WM' of danger, has been generally over-'
looked, and: appears to us somewlu
difficult of explanation. Let any one ,
Unskilled in the mysteries of " hush
ranging,"
attempt to move even for a
few, :paces in any 'ordinarY fox-covert
without noise and he will form seine
idea of the difficulties presented to the
passage of so huge an animal 'bs the I
elephant through the dense tangled tin
dergrotyth lora iiiouth African " 'Ash."
Yet that,inannal,,despite his enormous
bulk will " draw eff, ' when within a
few yard 4 of his pursuer; without the
slightest noise and with the greatest
rapidity, even in the thickest cover,.is
undeniable.' We may ; however, remark
that this faculty, or by whatever other
term it maybe described, is no't pecul
iar to the erephant alone, for it has been
oli4rveti to a marked extent in the
mobse or eariboo _of, North America.—
Again; his powers of passing, over diffl
ctilt ground are.often underrated even
by hunters; ' 'When '•experiments were
first 'Made in India in training ele
phants to draw the guns, it was Observed_
with ff .il.-p ril e that the animal's powerS,
Or aseeriding steep and rugged ground
Were rar'greater than bad been antici
pated. The gun, a light
,six-pounder,,
with which the t'lal was first made,
was drawn up a slope so steep as to re
qtfire the animal to erawl upon, its four
-knees, without hesitation. ; On the oth
er -hand, hampered by the' un and liar
miss, the- elephant (a., small female)
shoWed unusual .dretid of soft and
swampy ground. • In Africa, marshes
do not seem topossess,the same ;terror
for these animals in their wild state ;
for 1f they offer tempting pools, how
ever Uncertain the footing• may be, the
elephants appear to.find a track across
them. In the river-courses, too, deep
ened as they are by. the torrents-of the
rainy season many yards below the sur
-1 ft - tee of the surrounding ' country, and
having' banks •nearly perpendicular,
small shady pools close , sheltered from
the sun's rays often remain in , the hot
season When the rest of the streams has
disappeared, and to these, should no
45 - ther way be open, may be found trackg
of the animals, leaving ; no doubt they
had reached the covetediwater by slip
ping down on thelti posteriors. In what
position the hinder legs! are 'placed du
ring this operation , we cannot tell, but
the `• spoor' leaves, no doubt of its hav-
Frig been 'repeatedly adopted in places .
apparently inaccessible. The elephants
generally,remain In the thickest part
Odle forest during day, making, for the
ater, to which they often go long dis
tances, -shortly ,hefore midnight, and
returning_ to over sore hours before
dawn. - We may here remark that; al
thongh'•thesennunalsi owing no doubt
to theirafeifte .sense of hearing and of
.r.prir. have never been surprised In a
recuinoeuv- position, -....---._ . ........... T .L.
proof That the hails, at any rate, una ly
rest lying on their sides. The late' . Ir.
Gordon Cumming was, We,f..believc, the
first to note this• fact, which we can
ourselves confirm.' He ''''narked hat
the sides of the enormous 'ant-heaps, so
common in this region, were apparent
ly preferred, and that the ground was
often distinctly 'marked with the int
pressimf of the under-tusk as well as of
the animal's body. The'intluence of the
