had never been GU; of Missouri in his
life. but he was famous for the gra phic
fidelity of his description OF foreign

OF exactly three works: An encyclope-
dia. set of United statcs consular re-
ports. covering four or fye years, and
copy OF Woods Natural History"

for instance. In Borneo, he would be-
gin by reading the Borneo article In
the encyclopedia; then he would turn
TO the consular reports and look up all
the odd and Interesting matter he could
find touching that particular Island.
and hnally he would get a description
Of its animals from Woods He wrote
at an old table on which was glued n
map OF tho world. covered with a sheet
of glass This was constantly before
his eyes. SO he couldn't go astray on
geography. and. as j said before, his
descriptions were marvels OF accuracy.
He could draw better and more re-
alistic pen picture OF foreign countries
than travelers' themselves. People
thought that he had been a great globe

He finds his way through the crowd
