natives could have invented such a
story, and II was quite certain that ex-
plorers were on the eve Of finding, at
last, a volcano in the heart Of Africa.
The prize was reserved for Won Gotten.
When Spoke discovered Victoria Nyan-
"a, the natives told him Of a mountain
far west of the lake, which they called
Mount Mfumbiro. He placed II on his
map, and when the mountain was first
seen, three years ago, 1t was found to
be the most northern of chain OF
six volcanic mountains extending to
the southeast. The most southern or
these is the fire mountain, Kirunga.
Vot Gotten saw 1t from afar as he APP
preached the mountain from the east.
It's name is really phrase Of which
Kirunga is the most important word,
and the whole means, "the place where
sacrifices are burned" 1t rises above
the plain to a height Of about 11,12O
feet. The white men saw its smoke ris-
ing gently above the top for three days
before, pushing through the dense veg
citation, the. cached the base of the
mountain. T. n they eagerly pushed
up the steep slope, and at last they stood
upon the edge of the crater wall and
looked down upon spectacle that riv-
eted every gaze. Our picture gives
some idea of this crater. 1t is taken
from Van Gotzen's sketch, just pub
lished In LIE Movement Geographique
in Brussels, and we are indebted to the
same periodical for the picture of the
young explorer.
The crater is about mile in diameter
and the wall that hen it in is nearly
circular. The crest Of the encircling
wall Is several hundred feet above the
bottom Of the crater. The angle IF slope
down to the bottom is about seventy
degrees; so steep that 1t would be diff

lake of molten, reddish lava. 1t looked
like marble Of a yellow-brown color,
and the only way that they could deter
mine that 1t was liquid or nearly so was
an occasional disturbance of the sur
face. Rising above the surface of this
bright-hued lake was a large orifice
descending into the bowels of the noun
tain. 1t was over 400 feet in diameter,
and out Of this immense cavity was
pouring a great column of yellow smoke
that was almost sitting when the
breeze, now and then, enveloped the ex-
plorers in dense volume They were
then compelled to retreat down the side
of the mountain to get beyond the reach
Of the overpowering fumes. The smoke
rolled in dense waves around the bot
tom of the crater and in places poured
over the edge. Now and then puff of
unusual energy would carry a column
of smoke high into the air and clear the
crater enough so that the spectators
might get some idea Of the appearance
of the bottom. The inoessant ebulli-
ton was accompanied by loud noise
like the roll Of thunder Of sufficient vol
ume to drown most other sounds, and

days march, and at last accounts the
animals were doing good service carry
ing timbers for the railroad which the
Germans are pushing inland from the
Indian ocean. He made his first i'm
portant discovery after travelling about
800 miles toward Victoria Nyanza, when
he suddenly came upon the large salt
lake, Umburre, which Is one of the most
southern of that remarkable chain OF
dead seas, extending hundreds Of miles
north and south, a considerable distance
east Of Victoria Nyanza. Here is a very
long, wide rift in the earth, whose drain
age cannot escape to the sea, but set
ties in these depressions, forming
series Of big and small salt lakes. Ex-
plorers had never heard of Lake UNI
burre before, although they had passed
both north and south Of 1t.
Over a hundred miles directly west
Of Victoria, Nyanza is the large country
Of Ruanda. lying partly in the Congo
State and partly in the German East
Africa. No European has ever penetrat-
ed this region, and we know nothing
of Ruanda except a few vague facts
supplied by Stanley, Stuhlmann and
Baumann, who skirted its eastern edge.
Won Gotten crossed this populous re-
gion, whose inhabitants are fine-look-
ing race. Everybody has heard Of the
terrible cattle plague, that few years
ago, wiped out the greater part Of the
herds across tropical Africa from sea to
sea. The pride of Ruanda used to be
the innumerable herds of big horned
cattle that cropped its nutritious
grasses, but during the reign of the
plague they were almost wholly de-
stroyed. The country was nearly ruined,
but little by little the herds are growing
again, and in a few years more they
will reach their old proportions. The
king has the title of Kigeri. He has a
dozen residences in various places, at
one Of which he gave the explorers
party hospitable reception. The Arab
traders have tried In vain to penetrate
this country. They have always been
repulsed, and not a single Arab did Won
Gotten meet in this part of Africa.
In Ruanda the explorer saw the only
active volcano that has been discovered
I'm Africa, and there Is reason to believe
that no other will ever be found. We
have known since 1891 that there was
in this region a smoking mountain, for
the natives further north told Emin
Pasha and DIR. Stuhlmann that there
was a great mountain from which black
smoke came, and that ashes were some
times sifted over the country, and when
there was the most smoke the heard a
noise like the believing Of many cattle.
