BACK FROM AFRICAN JUNGLES.
DIR. A. DONALDSON SMITH WENT 1000
MILES AFOOT.

DR.. A. Donaldson Smith. of Philadelphia, ar
rived In New-YorS on the st. Louis last sunday
morning, direct from London after long ap-
sence. Since he was last in this country DR..
Smith has made extensive exploration tour
through that hitherto UNEMPLOYED African country
that lies between the Shebeli River and Lake Ru-
dolf On his return to London Dr. Smith was re-
ceived cordially by many of the foremost geo.
graphical experts in England, and from the eX-
pressons that have since appeared in the English
popers it appears that the value of his eXplora-
tons to science is thought to be considerable
The Royal Geographical Society gave an invita-
ton to the American explorer to address 1t. and
on January he read before that organization
paper describing at length his travels and dis
coveries. That paper is to be published in an
early number of The Royal Geographical Society
Journal" Dr. Smith also received the compli-
ment of an invitation to address the Royal Insti-
tu.ion, an invitation whicr was duly accepted.
Tribune reporter found DR. Smith at the wal
dorf few days ago. and asked him to describe
his trip through the UNEMPLOYED regions OF Africa
which he visited. The explorer. in answer to this
request. spoke follows:
During a sporting trip through Somalilani,
over two years ago, l conceived the idea that
could carry expedition through that large ex-
tent of UNEMPLOYED country lying between the
Shebe River and Lake Rudolf. Accordingly, on
my return to England, l set to work. with the
help Of Edward Dodson a young taxidermist Of
the British Museum, to prepare an expedition.

company me, and on June l. 1894. We set sail from
London. starting from Berbera on July 10 on our
journey into the interior. We met with much
difficulty In getting as far Shelkh Husein, and
were much interested in some of the natives We
met. The country about Luku would be just the
place for Europeans to settle Much OF the land
is under cultivation and is very fertile.

he pointed his finger 10 the waters cage ana
then with a sweeping gesture, Indicated the
waterfront for a distance OF number OF
blocks What he indicated was not pleasant
thing to contemplate. First there was log
boom Then above that was dumping pier
for refuse Where the bulkhead line had been
established by lines Of piles there was most
unpicturesque array of prosaic dry ground be-
tween the river and the tracks Of the New-York
Central and Hudson River Railroad.

started to follow the walk upward. In few
moments the two were standing on the Drive
above the retaining wall, and they walked on

completely unsettled by the mingled feelings
