TEA ‘Fresh from the gardeng‘ Theso recalcitrant elephants send forward pilot bulls in advance of the herd when about to raid farms and, if driven back, generally allow a fortâ€" night to elapse and then try again in the hope that the watcher has gone away. In a recent case, however, ditâ€" ferent tactics were followed. After being detected and turned back in an attempt to cross a main road into some extensive shambas (farms), inâ€" stead of waiting two weeks before tryâ€" ing again, the pilot bulls led the herd 3 miles to the west to a point which had evidently been prospected and found unguarded previously, travers ing the road at a point where they bad never before been known to crogs. More than 1000 elephants followed them and it was evident that the whole affair had been carefuly worked out in advance. L It is a common local joke that, thanks to years of education on the part of the Game Wardens‘ Depart ment, every elephant in the colony carries a complete map of i in its head. Some, in fact most of them, are now using this knowledge to avoid prohibited districts, but others use it to invest methods of clreumventing the Game Warden. They understand they are free to roam without molestation over large specified areas, whose boundaries they quite understand, but that they must not cross certain roads to raid the native farms in contiguous reâ€" gions, and that if these regulations are broken they are at once driven back into their own territories. Later, as an experiment in control tactics, a huge herd which, in May, al ways gathers by a certain river, was purposely disturbed and it was noticed how they had learnt to associate the crossing of roads with danger as they formed groups hundreds strong. beâ€" fore rushing over them, As soon as they had reached the ordinary fully reserved areas they ceased their reâ€" treat and took up a massed position for defense. They were prepared to fight if interfered with in what they had now been taught was free terriâ€" tory for them. It is estimated that male elophants in Uganda are increasâ€" ing at the rate of 1000 a year while, with the increase in population and agriculture, the land avâ€"ilable for them is becoming less. London.â€"Elephants in Uganda are now pretty generally grasping the policy being pursued toward them, states the Game Warden‘s annual reâ€" states the Game Ward port just received here " ‘What 1 have long weared has bappened sponer than I expectedâ€"the decisive defeat. In two days we have lost 800 guns and the troops have mo more power of resistance,. They are tired out and no longer a match for 'the enemy‘s superior forces. Also \things are going bedly on the other fronts and we must be prepared for the very worst. It is urgently necesâ€" sary to conclude peace at any price, for we are as good as defenceless‘." One herd, known as the Buyaga, has been notorious for many years for its sagacity, These elephants prefer to live alongside the natives and secure food from their farms, taking advantâ€" age of the desire of the Game Warâ€" dens‘ Department to drivo them away to less populated areas without harmâ€" Ing them. On one occasion they deâ€" tached three of their worst members to hunt the subâ€"warden observing them, and he had a very exciting time. Elephants Show Remarkable Brains "With all the North‘s services it cannot be denied that under its politiâ€" cal leadership Germany suffered the greatest political eatastrophe in her history." Uganda Elephants Pull Clever Stunts Better Than Trained Circus "Bulls" This herd has also ~developed (a method of leading the officers of the department along "selected" routes, which they do not even follow at other times themselves, through water holes and swamps and black mud until they discourage the attentions of the game rangers,. _ In fact, it has become a game of intelligence between the Game Warden and the elephants in this particular region where, at preâ€" !.nt. the latter have countered every move of the former by a better one. The Crown Prince also criticizes both the Weimar and the Bismarckian constitutions for giving too much power to Prussia. He says on this point: True glory lies in the silent comâ€" quest of ourselyes.‘ y j Minard‘s Liniment for aching joints for her to Have success of that sort.
