NOT AIR-MINDED.
ELEPHANTS AND 'PLANES. LONDON, July 23. Unrest is spreading among the elephants, declares the game warden of Uganda in his annual report. He explains that Uganda can accommodate more than half the elephant population in uninhabited and uninhabitable country, but aircraft above those empty lands may cause the elephants to seek quiet elsewhere. Already it is noticed that the annual mustering of the majestic old bulls on the cast Nile has ceased for three years, while the main herds' wanderings indicate their discomfort. Moreover, as trained elephants in the Belgian Congo are unable to become accustomed to the noise of motor cars, the probabilities are against Uganda elephants learning to browse peacefully on busy air routes. Huge herds, seeking peace, may try to enter settled areas.
