Miss Kingsley has made record as an
explorer unapproachable by any wo-
man. She travelled in Africa from Old
Calabar through the French Gaboon,
penetrating the gorilla country of the
interior and proceeding up the Ogowe
River to N'Djole. II is dangerous

ofthe Fangwes, who have no cemeteries.
They not ..only eat their own dead but
such stray strangers as they may for
tunately find. Miss Kingsley was re-
garded by this hospitable folk as

forming part of the bill of fare of
Fangwe banquet. She had much diff
ficulty to retain her eight or ten ma
tive attendants however, and it was
only by strong threats of punishment
by the French Government that she
saved the lives Of her men. She came

ton. The Afrikander Dutchman is,
I will grant, inert and hard TO
move. Even in tho agitation among
the Transvaal farmers, before the
Boer war, in which, undoubtedly,
a large proportion OF the popula-
tion viewed the British annexation
with extreme anger and Indignation,
they were very slow TO go "out" As
in former struggles, the vrouws did an
immense deal In screwing up their
husbands to the fighting point. The
Dutch wife has great influence over
her man; she is usually possessed of
indomitable spirit and determination
and in moments of danger and diff

field in 1881, they fought we'll, as
even we ourselves must admit. II is
no light matter to take up arms sue
cessfully against the strength of Brit
ain as these farmers did. BY series
OF lucky accidents, the Beers found
arrayed against them troops weak in
numbers, mostly consisting of young
and unseasoned soldiers, led by Cen
eral who, after series of extraordi.
nary blunders, paid with his own life
the penalty of rashness and lack OF
judgment.
At Laing's Mex and Ingogo River
the Beers undoubtedly had our men at
immense disadvantage, and by the
help of their very excellent shooting
scored their victories. But at Majuba
Hill, where less than $50 Dutchmen
stormed mountain held by 400 Brit
ish troops and defeated them with the
loss of their General, six officers, and
ninety men kille@ and large number
wounded, want of courage can scarcely
be charged against these ignorant,
undrilied farlAers. They themselves
stillflook upon that event in their
simple way as more an act OF God
than Of their own courage. Nor, in
tne far more desperate fighting against
the Zulus aud Matabele during the
Great Trek, can want of courage be
urged against the frontier Beers.

calms. A captive balloon during
strong winds is apt to be disabled by
the variable pressure upon its i'm
mense globe of confined gas. The
wind, if very powerful, may drive the
tethered balloon downward sidewise
and force the gas out of its neck, caus-
ing loss of buoyancy.
According to recent drawings made
in London, Professor Willis L. Moore,
Chief OF the United States Weather
Bureau, is experimenting with COM
bination of the balloon and the kite,
by which during dead calms the gas
bags at the back OF the kite may carry
it upward, while during strong winds
the kite would take the pressure snd
protect the gas apparatus behind it.
The Moore kite, as drawn, has a
tail, which may ultimately be dis
pensed with, as in the case OF the kites
devised by me in 1891, writes Will
lam A. Eddy in the New York World.
Since fat kites OF light construction,
in mild winds, require little tail, 1t
seems to follow that gas-inAatcd
KITE will need very small tail weights
to balance 1t if the wind Is light. In
q strong wind q tail about 800 feet in
length will be required. Professor
Moore's proposed line Of experiment
is interesting and valuable, and II all
the Weather Bureau stations are
equipped with such an apparatus the
predictions would be more exact.
Kites OF light construction can
maintain themselves aloft six days in
seven at New York, and probably
four days in seven at Cincinnati,
where the wind is light, il night winds
in both cities are included IN the esti.
mate. But Professor Moore's kite. II
he uses gas, would doubtless make the
record almost continuous. Since there
is often plenty of wind aloft and none
at the surface OF the earth, the facts
are only approximately known OF the
present.

the most redoubted native captain in

from Zululand with him in body,

Beers vanquished Moselikatse as they
had vanquished Dingaan, and took
possession OF that fair and rich coun-
try now called Transvaal.
One battle was fought in laager
against Moselikatse's Matabele hordes.
There we're but forty grown Dutchmen
in the camp, but the women and even
the children president Kruger, then
boy, was, ! believe, among the num-
ber) served in the defence, loading
the long smooth.bore guns as fast as
they we're emptied, and the Beers
finally beat off their savage enemy with
great loss. After this fight reinforce.
ments came in and small bands of
mounted farmers attacked the Mata-
belle in their own kraals.
In the last of these daring cam
paigns 135 Beers followed up and fell
upon Moslikatse in person on the
Marico River. Mosklikatse commanded
no fewer than 1000 of his finest SOL
diers. Fierce as they we're, however,
they lacked horses and guns, and
found themselves no match for the
mounted Dutch farmers, all fine game
| shots, and all imbued with an in
vincible determination. For more
than a week the Beers, with nothing
but biltong (sun dried game meat) to
eat, and no bed but the bare veldt,
harried and harassed the Matabele
hosts. Again and again the Matabele
tried to entrap their active opponents,
to bring them to close quarters, when
their stabbing assegais might be
brought into play. But the mounted
men always evaded them, and at
length, after losing large numbers of
warriors, Moselikatse gave up the con.
test, retreating beyond the Limpopo,
and left the whole vast territory Of
the Transvaal, which he had long held
by the sheer terror of his name and
arms, to the "voor-Trekkert." We

bors, but Miss Kingsley's party evaded
the poisoned arrows and maintained
the full integrity of the muster roll.
Her chief feats were the navigating of
Lake N'Covi, hitherto unexplored, the
crossing Of the Sierra del CRYSTAL
Mountains, and canoeing down the
Rumbi River. During all her travels
Miss Kingsley's health was in perfect
condition,
