80 ARTIFICIAL INSANITY. 



The elephant deliberately frightens, or tries to frighten, 

 man, or other animals, by make-believe fury and pretended 

 charges or assaults (Pierquin). On the other hand, the 

 Indian shikaris, by their tom-toms, endeavour to produce 

 fear or fright in the tiger, or other wild forest animals. 

 Sometimes the motive is a mere love of fun, as in the prac- 

 tical joking of the parrot, mocking bird, man, or monkey, 

 on man or other animals.
