OF penetrating Rift valley In vivid
terms he described the long exhaust
ing march from Mombasa into the
interior. His route lay for thousand
miles to the northwest about half way
between the great volcanic peaks of
Kilima Marc and Mount Kenya. Some
800 miles beyond the outposts of the
traders he reached the summit of a
ridge near the headsprings of the Tana,
which he believed was on the edge of
the valley. For five weeks" he says,
II had been toiling forward to gain the
view that 1 had expected to get from
this point. My disappointment may
therefore be imagined when just be-
fore we reached the summit of the
pass a dense cloud settled down upon
us and completely blotted out the
view.
I'VE descended few hundred feet
and then a wonderful prospect burst
upon US. We were on the face of a
cliff 1,40O feet in height broken only
by platform 800 feet above the floor
of the valley. From the foot of the
cliff a level plain extends thirty miles
to the west to the foot of the scarp of

my men the view was new. We sat
long in enjoyment of it. Now and
again the cloud banks that fioated up

of wind would cleave a passage

reached by Fischer. TO whom belongs
the honor of having first demonstrated
the occurrence of the valley in euuato-
rial Africa. Subsequently to this time
fugitive expeditions have been made
to this strange region, but up to the
Gregory exploration no attempt had
been made to study the region ex-
haustively in all its features. Espe-
cially did there remain long gap be-
tween the southern end of the Red sea
and the northern end of Basso Narok
flake Rudolf that had never been
visited. Late in 1892 the expedition ar
rived at Mombasa and began its march
into almost the last portion of the
habilable earth which had not been
explored by white men. With many
vicissitudes and perilous adventures a
considerable portion of the party being
killed or sinking down under disease.
It made its way from Mombasa, the
chief port of British East Africa, on
the Indian ocean, as far as Lake Ba-
vingo.

HAD A VISION.

A lady who is engaged in newspaper
work in New York received visit a few
years ago from western friend who was
about to take a Sound steamer for Bos-
ton the same evening. While they were
talking the lady had a startling vision.
She seemed to see the man walking on
the deck of a steamer on a dark night.
when the falling rain froze into sleef as
1t struck the deck. He slipped and fell.
slid under the guard rail and was en-
quilted in the sea. The vision came and
passed in second. The lady begged her
friend not to go on the steamer that
night. She told him what she had seen.
He was materialist and laughed the
whole matter off as bit of idle fancy.
He took the boat that evening, slipped
on the icy deck, fell overheard Just as
he did in the vision, and was drowned.
