The South African Plain.

The plains here stretch in illimitahle
expansc 10 the horizon. Far TO the west
is "A range # mountains, 80 good miles
away, which in the clear morning air
stands ont as sharply AS If but a dozen
miles distant. You may see the dark lines
and patches of the time Worn seams and
krantzes that scar its sides. This trans
luccncy Of atmosphere is very common in
southern Africa,
The rains have lately fallen, and every
where around the dry plains have started Mt
the breath of moisture into splendid if
short lived beauty. Miles upon miles Of
flats, all glowing and ahlazc with purple
and a rich flamelikc red, are spread
around. The wonderful compositm are
in nower and the barren, dcscrtlike fats
are for few brief weeks transformed into
carpet Of the nohlcst ooloring and pat
tern. Look closely, and you may see the
bleached and blsckcncd limbs Of former
growths of low shrubs which stand amid
the gallant blaze, gaunt reminders of the
transitory existence Of African flower lie.
