Countries of the African Kings.
back to the days of Queen Elizabeth Of
England. Perhaps SIS would cover the
cost of the clothes in which he is usual
~ seen; but this young man, awhile
ago, had 5000 wives in his harem.
He spent sum equivalent to 100000
to make the tomb of his father, Mtesa,
an imposing spectacle to all the natives
who saw It. In his country the pos
session OF large quantities of American
or European clothes is the sign of great
wealth. The people, therefore. are i'm
pressed with the splendor of their king
when they see among the trappings Of
the tomb of bis royal grandmother
clothes valued In Uganda at $4,000.
Awhile ago the Muata Yamvo ruled a
country as large as Germany. He had
a royal emblem which he often confid-
ed to his messengers as proof that they
bore the mandates of the king; and his
power was so absolute that when he
sent messenger with this emblem to
any of his most distant subjects con-
veying to the poor wretches that it was
the kings pleasure that they should at
once proceed to kill themselves, the
savage command was instantly obeyed.
No more cruel despots ever lived than
these powerful kings Of Equatorial
Africa. and it is blessing to untold
millions that they have been swept
away.
Kabba Rega's Full.
We have only just heard the news
that Ekabba Rega has fed like thief
in the night from Unyoro, one of the
richest of the African lake regions,
about $50 miles long and seventy miles
wide. From the days of Baker and
Gordon, we have never heard that this
great slave raider has exhibited the
slightest kindly feeling towards the
whites except once, when book of
African travel, containing his portrait
was brought to him. He was so pleas
ed with the faithful likeness that he
said he wished to count among his
friends the race that could do such
wonderful things. This was merely
monetary impulse and he has always
displayed implacable hostility to
white men and all their enterprises.
The last white man to get into his
clutches was Signor Casati, whom he
treated with great show of hospitality

The Smart city boy has countless
wonderful stories to tell to his country

be good place for him to stay in the
warm weather, but it is a good place
to brag about. City Boy got caught,
however, when he had pumped Country

things in the metropolis.

with an angelic look on his freckled
face. but my uncle over to Cross
Roads beats 'em all. He's got twenty
hives of bees and he's got name for

City Boy jeered, but Country Boy
seeing chance to get a big story to
tell in the city, was convinced.

A REFRIGERATED CARGO.
The Largest Yet Sent to London
From Australia.

The largest Yet Sent to London
From Australia.
The steamship Perthshire, which rc.
Gently arrived in London, has br ,ught
from Australia and New Zealand the
largest cargo Of refrigerat ID goods ever
imported. The cargo consists of 10000
carcasses of sheep, 5000 launches,
5000 legs, about $50 tens of frozen
beef. $50 cases of butter. $50 bags of
bullocks' hearts, $50 bags Of OK tails
and Iidneys, and seven cases of oys-
tiers. The holds have sufficient capacity
to have accommodated 10000 more car
cases of sheep. The shipment is an
interesting one, as it Is the first time
that meat has been brought to this
country from Australia or New Zealand
by means of an ammonia machine, and
the excellent quality of the goods, rs
certified by the consignees, is sufficient
evidence of the success of the Ltnde
machines, by which the holds were
cooled. Until recently only cold air
machines were used in the trade. The
ammonia machines occupy far less
space, and apply the cold in a much
more efficient manner. besides greatly
reducing the consumption of steam.
The plant on the Perthshire consists
Of two independent refrigerating ma
chimes on the Linde system, each ma
chine consisting of a compound am
monia compressor and an ammonia con-
denser combined on one bed-plate with
a compound steam engine. The refrig-
orators consist of series of coils of
wrought iron tubes wound in long
lengths without joint from end to end.
There are upwards of eight miles Of
wrought iron tubing in the installation.
The air is circulated by means of fans,
which draw the warmer air from the
holds, pass it over the refrigerator coils,
and return it to the holds through
suitable trunks. 1t is claimed for this
system that the air is delivered into the
holds pure, dry, and free from snow
or moisture. There are no pipes in the
hold whatever. The active circulation
Of air thus insured enables the temper
allure to be kept extremely even; the
variation between different parts of the
hold does not exceed deg. Fahrenheit.

Within tho past, fifteen months all
but one OF the great native potentates
Of inner tropical Africa have been
stripped Of their power and property.
Some Of them are fugitives, some are
dead, and others, whose slightest word
but yester day was law, are to-day
mere puppets In the hands Of their
white conquercrs. Only one great ma
tive eMntre is left In the whole of
Equatorial Africa, and TINT Is the large
country o. the Barotse, over which
Lewarl:Sa, the tyrant of the Upper
Zambesi rules. Except in the case OF
the Muata famyo who was ruined by
native enemies, the fall Of all these rul-
ers was the result of the inevitable con-
fltct between Caucasian civilization
AID negro barharism. Semi-savage
dcspots, who absolutely control the
lives and properly Of millions Of people
can ~: live in d region which white
men are determined and able to domin-
ate; aud So these kingdoms great in
area. ii pcpaiaiiOn and in some Of the
elements y: power, have been laid low
by Caucasian hostility.
The Pictures of these kings seen In
BOOKS 81 exploration show them in no
way difiera:,t srom the common types
Of Africans. One who does not know
their history might smile and hear that
the Realistically dressed or unclad
black nen had welded enormous pow
er; and yet they have been lacking in
few of the clements that make royalty
a glittering show. Kabba Rega, the
