the task which the settlers oi Rho
desia and the rescue column es-
sayed when they sought to rid that
hornets nest OF its venomous oc-
cupanls during the rebellion. The
place is simply impracticable in a
military sense, for artillery would
be useless against those rocky fast
nesses, and the only feasible way
of clearing the caves would be to
take each natural iortress-and
there are hundreds OF them-one
by one, in hand to hand 6ght-a
herculean undertaking from which
the imagination recoils aghast.
Almost at our feet, so near did it
seem from our elevated standpoint,
rose the trowning outline OF Inugu
Mountain, where Laing's and
Nicholson's patrols had their great
fights on July 20 and IS, 1896, and
which, garrisoned by rebels who
fired from every stone in that natu-
raj Redan, successfully de6ed the
attacks of the troops, and gave
those days two of the heaviest
death and casualty rolls of the
whole war.
On our way back to the coach
we were much struck with the
beauty OF the foliage on the trees,
and also with the pretty "mahog-
any beans" as they are called.
These beans" which somewhat
resemble a large acorn, with a
bright scarlet cup and a Jet black
nut, grow in big pods on an in
digenous tree, and are greatly in
demand by visitors as souvenirs.
OF wild mammalian life we saw
none, but insects of all descriptions
were plentiful, and once a beautiful
blue tailed lizard flashed under a
stone like an azure streak as we
startled him in passing. Saying
farewell to our escort at the little
temporary encampment where
they at hrst met US, we entered our
coach once more, and, after an
hours halt at Westacre for lunch
con, reached BulawaYo again at
FIVE o'clock in the evening, Just
twelve hours from the time we had
started.

NOTHING positive can be traced
as to when the crescent beca me the
Turkish symbol. One legend says
that Philip, the father OF Alexan-
der, meeting with great difficulties
in the siege of Byzantium, set the
workmen tosundermine the walls,
but a crescent moon discovered
the design, which mlscarried; con-
sequently the BYzantiues erected
