Special to The Globe. BROOKLYN, N. V., Nov. 22.—During the recent South African war, the British war department (although tne fact was never published) once con templated the employment of elephants for transport, on the same principle that has long prevailed with relation to their use in India for military pur poses. It was at first suggested that ele phants be brought from India —seme of those trained animals which have so ■well proved their value there for the transport of artillery and baggage. The enormous waste of horses during the Boer war, in addition to the New Orleans mule scandals, brought up the . question of utilizing elephants, and for a time this was seriously donterppJat ed, but as various difficulties present ed themselves, including that of the unweildy size of the animal in con nection with its carriage by sea, the idea was finally dropped and a premi um permanently placed on mules, great numbers of which, as the world knows, were shipped to Capetown and sent up country. Considering how valuable and how readily available the elephant has been made in India under the tutelage of accustomed trainers, and how much has been done in the facilitation of military operations, and its amazing sagacity and ability to receive in struction which it never afterwards forgets, the methods adopted by the elephant trainers—as described to me by a veteran amongst them—will be read with Interest. I had been talking with this trainer about the docility of the elephant as compared with other wild animals, THE ST. PAUL GLOB 15, .SJJNDAY, JVOVEMBER 23, 1902. when they go under the trainer's charge. "Elephants," he said, "are in a sense just about as hard and as easy to train as the rest of the r.rpatures we handle in the line of our profession. There is a general rule to be followed in the training of any animal. It is a primary rule, and it simply consists in making the brute understand that you are the master. He must learn to fear you. It is essential that he should believe you to possess limitless power over him —to wield the sceptre on a wave of which his happiness or his misery shall depend. "Another point is that the animal you are training must not be permitted to retain in his mind a scintilla of an idea that you are scared of him. You l>ave to arrange it so that he will thoroughly believe you don't care a cent for his size or his strength—that you, in fact, are mysteriously endowed with a power which he cannot attempt to successfully 'resist. The trainer, the true trainer, always manages to make his animal think precisely this very thing. "I can tell you this about the ele phant: He knows more, and is more keen and clever in catching impres sions, than any animal that exists. He alone fully comprehends the mean- ing of the |%*"<3s you speak to him. A partial Understanding of what is said to hiirP iff* acquired by other ani mals. Theyt^et to understand the various tonasjfjjrf "s*ur voice, and they will learn meyieaning of some words. The elepha«"tf intelligence has no lim its. That is tte difference. "You mayijame an elephant in a week, possibisf It may take four, however. Ijicia^nnot quote .to you any fixed rule is fjls connection, you see. In saying lan c/ I intend to. convey that the eliph nt Is made so that it is safe to (go ; -ight~ up close to him. The newly fcai ght elephant is invari ably suspif 01 v '■ He remembers that the circus Sflmces of his capture were marft d^foy some very rude in cidents, aim %is tendency is to be on guard against--a repetition of them. "Firstly, only one keeper can be at tached to the elephant, as the object is to make him accustomed to the man's appearance. This man feeds the elephant, for there is no surer way to his good graces than by feeding him with things he likes. During this peri od the man keeps far enough away from the elephant to prevent the possi bility of his injuring him. The animal is quick to appreciate the regular re appearance of the keeper caters to hia physical needs. The psychic moment has arrived when the elephant plainly evidences his familiarity with the man who feeds him. It is then that the trainer knows that he can safely begin his work. At this stage the keeper will feed the elephant by hand fearlessly. There may be in stances where the personal character of the elephant is such that he will not reach this stage of docility sooner than four or five weeks from the beginning of his training. "The occasion being ripe for the trainer to begin, he goes into the cage, his weapon of defence (carried simply with a view to possible trouble) being what is called an 'elephant hook,' and relieves the elephant of a part of his shackles. Elephants are confined by chains. It Is really this unchaining ■ of the great brute that lays the foun dation of the trainer's influence, for when the elephant finds himself thus magically emancipated by a creature like an everyday man whom he could crush with a poke of his paw, he con cludes (being really a thinking animal) that this man-trainer must have a personality invested with supernatural power. "However, it is also at this point that the elephant may show his vlc iousness, If he has any. His head is confined by a martingale, with iron chains reaching from the tusks be tween the forelegs. When this is loos- ened the trunk is free to work ruin. The Psychic Moment. "Well, if the elephant is vicious and shows It, then Is the other psychic moment arrived. The trainer must again display his power; he uses the elephant hook without mercy until the animal is forced to yelL The yell, when it comes, means the elephant has given in.
