Benin in 1890.

Civilization in Benin has clearly ret
regarded rather than advanced during
the last seventy or eighty years.
Among the few travellers who made
their way to Benin in the earlier years
Of the century was Mr. John King,
lieutenant in the Royal Navy, who
visited the place in 1920. The traveller
was received in a singular, though
amicable. manner by the King of Be-
min. During the interview, one Of the
Kings arms was stretched out hori-
zontally and supported by great Of
ficer. and the nail on one finger of each
hand had been suffered to grow to
great length to indicate that his high
station placed him above the necessity
of labor" The King had at that time
1000 wives, but some of these he would
give upon occasion to any subject who
had performed exceptional service.
The practice of making human sacri-
fees was uniformly denied by the ma
tives. and Lieutenant King does not
seem to have witnessed any scenes of
bloodshed while he remained in the
country. The traveller was introduced
also to the Queen-Mother, who lived
in a separate court just outside the city.
The Queen Mother, like her son the
King. had one of her arms supported
by an attendant. She entertained
Lieutenant King with kola-nut and
other refreshments, and asked him in
Vulnerable questions. The Queen
Mother of Benin was dressed in clothes
of European silk, and she wore a
broad brimmed lace hat on her head.
Altogether, the city, with its wide.
straight streets and meat and hand
some houses" appears to have made a
very favorable impression upon the
lieutenant, according to whom Euro
peans were at the date Of his visit
still considered as gods by the ma
tives of Benin" We wonder what they
think now.

rubble and stones (the result OF con-
tact with the rope) when below. This
is vitality important. At will, can sit
in the girth or sling. As the sound
of ones voice is lost when at a depth
down the cliff OF about fifty feet, an
other man is stationed at point where
can see him; and 1t is through his
agency that the man at the crowbar
receives my signals. The nest to be
photographed may be found on a fair
ly accessible ledge. in which case the
manipulation of the camera is com
paratively easy; but where it is built
on a projecting stone OF small edge,
tremendous difficulties have TO be over
come. In such cases two legs of the
camera must rest on my body, most
conveniently in the belt round my
waist. Having fixed up the. apparatus

the most difficult task of all, and one
which may last FIVE minutes or an
hour, or even longer still. according to
circumstances. Then il frequently
happens that when everything is ready
for the exposure, one of my legs will
slip or my body sway in an aggravat-
ing manner, so that the nest will have
to be re-focused.
Where a recess in the cliff is reach
ed in descending or ascending by the
ropes, ones body, being insulated, be-
gins to rotate like a goose on a roast

ing round in mid-air at the end of a
rope, with the very real possibility Of
a shower of dislodged stones from
above. and-in the event Of an acct
dent-certain death beneath, is any
thing but pleasant. Remember, ones
life is literally in the hands of the man
at the crowbar. On one occasion, just
as l was disappearing over the cliff,
this responsible person got joking with
his companion, the signal man, and he
let the coil of rope slip up TO the top
of the crowbar. A moment more and
it would have slipped of altogether.

however, for me at this time to record
my appreciation of the nina and spirit
shown by the non-Christian educated
Hindoos. Sut.n patient attention. such
hearty and general responsiveness,
such constant courtesy, such intelli-
gent insight into the best utterances
l have been able to offer, such freedom
from taking offense at the most pro-
ncunced Christian sentiments and con-
victions, / did not expect TO find in
quite such large measure. The demon
stration made at the close of the last
lecture was especially gratifying for
the reason that Mrs Haskells name
and generous deeds were enthusiast
cally and repeatedly applauded. On
every occasion where her name has
been mentioned in my hearing in the
Indianapolis palace at the various re-
ceptions given by the Brahmos in the
homes of Mr.. P. c. Mozoomdar and the
late Keshub Chundar Sen, in the hall
Of the London missionary institution
and of the general assembly's institd-
ton, where the lectures have been Civ
en-, it has awakened immediate re
Spouse.
The impression seems to be at pres
ent strong in Calcutta that the Univer-
sity of Chicago's lectureship in this
city was needed and that its continu-
ance will be permanently useful. 1t IS
well known that Christianity has not
made large inroads as yet into the
higher ranks of Hindoo society. The
most gratifying feature OF the India
lectureship thus far has been the pres
ence at our meetings of many who have
not heretofore been present at distinc-
lively Christian lectures. These are
men who are not reached by the evan
gelistic methods, which are so useful
among other classes. Still the edu-
