REINDEER FAST DYING OUT.

ing Klondikers passed the herd on the
date named. But $50 out Of the 450
then remained alive. Scandinavians
and Laplanders accompanying them
were in good health, but said the deer
were continually dying. Those left
were in poor condition.
This herd left Pyramid harbor in
March and last September had gone
only 200 miles. Since then it has COW
cred about the same distance. 1t was
found that the reindeer were wholly un-
fitted to stand the summers heat.
Progress was slow because they had TO

Probably there, has, been no such in

been caused by the arrival in London of
a young and hitherto unknown Eng
hshman, Mr.. Albert Bushnill Lloyd,
from Central Africa after record
journey of three months from the heart
of Africa 10 London, travelling over
Stanley's route down the Congo to the
west coast. His journey was in one re-
spect more remarkable than Stanley's,
nasmuch as Mr.. Lloyd travelled quite
alone, so far as Europeans were con-
cerned, and was only accompanied by
two native servants, and small num-
ber of carriers. Moreover, although
he marched three weeks in the pigmy
forest and then traversed the whole
sngth Of the Aruwimi river, the banks
of which are lined with warlil<e canni-
balls. he never once fired a shot in self
defense. On the contrary, he was on
cordial terms with both pygmies and
cannibals. OF the pygmies he says: II
found not one over four feet in height.

chief, who conversed intelligently
about their customs in the forest and
the number of the tribesmen. Both
men and women, except for tiny strip
of bark. were quite nude. The men
were armed with poisoned arrows.
The chief told me the tribes were no.
madic and never slept two nights in the
same place. They just huddle together
in hastily thrown up huts. Memories
of white traveler-Mr. Stanley, of
course-who crossed the forest years
ago, still linger among them
Mr.. Lloyd then proceeded through
the cannibal countries TO the coast.

fierce, but open and straightforward
and had no difficulty with them. At one
place he put together bicycle he had

the hands of Father Rainey, and Of
which he is proud.
Sharkey was sailor on the Olympia,
and one day while enjoying a friendly
bout with a companion Father Rainey
appeared and the fight was called off.

ther Rainey, 81 enjoy that kind of sport,

A few days later time" was called for
the two in the messroom. When they
put up their hands there was a look of
sadness on the sailors face as he made
a little punch at the chaplain's breast,
and when he was countered on the nose
Tom laughed. The sympathetic look
then vanished.
Sharkey made another jab which was
neatly stopped and a punch on the ear
put him on his mettle. Tom lunged
struck right and left, tried all the
tactics he had used on his mates, but Ia
no effect. Father Rainey was too clever
He would meet the sailors rushes with
singing punch on the nose or short
ribs, ntil when time was called Shar-
key acknowledged his defeat.

I'm Regard to Them.

Secretary Long has finally settled
question OF chaplains' uniform. WIN b
has been before naval board for = y
eral weeks. a controversy has lohg
waged within the service regarding the
necessity of having chaplains wear a
uniform. Some of the chaplains de-
sired il, others thought their influence
would be greater il they had no official
garb other than the style OF apparel
usual TO clergymen. The dissensions
led to discussion as to whether chap
lains were really needed in the navy.
The whole matter has been disposed of
by Secretary Longs approval of the
boards recommendations, and here
after officers of that grade will possess
two coats, one of the usual blue frock
pattern and the other OF the white serv-
ice pattern. The gold stripes on the
sleeves of the ordinary naval uniform
will be replaced by black mohair stripes
and a cross and rank device will be
affixed TO the collar. The frock coat Is
of the general style of the garment
worn by other officers, except that
black buttons and black stripes on the
sleeves will be worn instead of gold
buttons and gold stripes. The frock
coat will also differ from that of other
officers by being single breasted. The
material of the chaplains' uniforms will
be identical with that of the apparel OF
other officers. The cap will be similar
TO the ordinary naval cap, with the de-
vice on the front and with sliding chin
straps of black mohar in place of gold
