SECRETS OF AFRICA.
A Significant silence About the Conduct
of British Companies There.

A Significant silence About the Conduct
OF British Companies There.
A feature of the British enterprise in
East Africa is the secresy with which
the operations of British Imperial East
African Company are conducted. In
Whitaker" which is supposed to give
all official information on all public
matters, the words mo information ac-
cessible" appear opposite the entry re.
ferring to this corporation. As the
company conducts its operations under
a charter granted by the Queen, this
secresy excites criticism; but little can
be DONE II Parliament should make
fuss about it the only result would be
that the ministry would have to resign.
because the sovereign can do no wrong,
and If any wrong is done it is the fault
of the ministry.
In view of the perils to which mill.
ions Of the natives OF Africa arc sub.
jected by the advance of civilization, in
the shape of the British trader, it Is
thought that sufficient publicity ough.
to be given to the affairs OF the company
to insure the protection of the natives
against outrages of the grossest kind.
1t is recalled in connection with this
matter that In no case, except, perhaps,
ono, have the doings Of any British
colonial company boon sufficiently
known to permit adequate public dis
cussion of them. Official secresy has
stifled the means of the native posses
sors Of thesoil. Very little is known of
what is going on in the Congo State,
except to the officers of the company,
the employees of the company being
bound over to silence in penalties. =

Kangarooa TOR AmerIea.

1t would seem that tho project of i'm,
porting kangaroos into this country Is
seriously entertained by several enthu.
siastic and wealthy sportsmen In tho
West The first rumors OF such a plan
were received almost universally with
smiles, but later details show that
sportsmen have decided that the project
is entirely feasible. The extinction OF
the buffalo has left the plains without
any big game of Importance. and hunt
ing the kangaroo, as IL is done in Aus
tralia, is second in excitement and in.
terest only to killing the buffalo. Kan
CARGO leather is exceedingly valuable
and the animals breed rapidly They
have been successfully acclimated in
IsuE rand and France and 1t is said that
there is actually no reason why they
should not thrive here. The idea of
tho promoters OF this plan is to intro
luce the kangaroos at the beginning of
the warm season in Yellowstone Park
and give the breed Government pro-
lection for few years so us to bar out

--Ssrrcn has oyershadowed 1t, then it will
assert itself. Fires may run over the
land, destroying almost every thing
else, the oak may be killed to the
ground, but it will throw up a new
shoot the next spring, and when oppor-
tunity arrives will make vigorous
growth in proportion to the strength of
the root, and throw out strong side roots.
After this it will care no more for its
tap root, which has been its one sup
port, than the frog cares for the tail OF
the tadpole after it has got its own legs.
The oak has travelled all over tho
country. In the Green mountains and
in the New England forests, among the
pines of Pennsylvania, in the Adiron-
dacks, in Wisconsin and Michigan, ex-
cept in sand, l have found oaks. In
Northern Minnesota and Dakota the
oaks grow at the northern limit In
Colorado they are found as shrubs
among the pines and Douglas spruces;
in Arizona they grow like hazel bushes
among the heavy-wooded pines; ON the
Sierra Nevadas oaks reach far up into
the mountains, and oaks have been found
among the Redwoods on both sides of
the Coast range mountains. Wherever
the oak is established it will remain and
advance. Darwin has truly said: 'eTho
oaks are driving the pines to the sands. ;"
