Descrizione
About The Book : Tells about the elephant and its relation to man in war, pageantry, sports and games, as faithful laborer and servant, comrade and friend, its forms, structure and anatomy. To produce the eight hundred tons of ivory used annually, nearly seventy-five thousand elephants are destroyed; and it does not require the gift of prophecy to foresee their extinction in the near future. Every ivory tusk that is brought to the African coast from the interior is said to cost a human life; and that we may have ivory fans, billiard-balls, chessmen, knife-handles, inlaid furniture, grotesque Japanese statuary, etc., the elephant, who has been man's helpmate from 1200 B.C., and perhaps earlier, to the present day, is threatened with extermination.
