The elephant is a cieature of a tice so olteti until the bead has got a habit of it, that when he hears any n nfic he falls a danc very docile and capable nature to ltarn a 1 moil any thing ; they have been taught by their keeper 4 to adote the king**'says Aiiftotle, to dance, to thiow Acmes at a in;ik ; to rail t p aims in the air, and catch then tgain n their fall ; to walk upon ropes, which Calba was the full that exhibited at Rome, tays su6l.nius. these things they learn with that care th at they have often been found pr; cltfirg in the night what had been taught in the day* ‘They write, too, says Pliny, speaking of one who wrote in tlit Greek tongue —lp si ego h*c scripsi , and spoLa Celt tea dicaai . 1 myself saw, Jiiian* one ol them writing Rnmat) Ictteis upon a ta blet w ith his trunk, and the letters he made were not lagged, but draft and ever. ; and his eyes were fixed upon the tablet as one that was serious and intent upon his woik. In the ylays that German icus Cjeaar'fhowed at Rome in the reign of Tiberius, there were twelve elephaats, iix males and fix females; these were clothed us m enaud women. At the com mand of their keeper they danced and performed all the geflures of a mimc. At last they were bro’t where they were to feaft—a table was covered with all kinds of dainties, and goblets of gold, with other little cups of wine placed, Sc beds covered with purple cat pets, after the manner of the Roman eating, for them to lie upon. Up on these they laid down, and at the signal given they reached out their trunks to the table and with great rm defty fell to eating, and cat ard drank as a sort of civil ruen would do.
