SEA FISH IN LAKE.
Strange Discov.r ies 10 Central Africa by
Explorer Moore.

Explorer Moore.
The problem o. how the apple got
into the dumping sinks into insigniii-
canoe beside that of the jellyfish the
crustaceans and Lake Tanganyika; but
j. E. S. Moore, who has just come back
from Central Africa. believes he has
discovered how the fish from the sea
got into the lake in the middle of the
continent. Mr.. Moore is one of the
young men at the Royal College Of
Science, South Kensington. He was
leader of an expedition largely subsl-
died by the Royal Geographical socie-
ty, and after years march of over
5000 miles, from the Zambesi to Ugan-
da, he has come back with hundreds of
specimens and several important addi-
lions to the knowledge of Central At
RIGA. He has encountered cannibals,
volcanoes and glacier and scaled an
ice-clad peak called "Sitchwi," in the
Ruwenzori mountains, or Mountains
or the Noon, at height of about 16, 500
feet. The mountains took ten days to
climb. The peaks of the range are COW
cred with ice to a depth of hundreds
or feet, for the snow melts in the day
and freezes at night. Mr.. Moore and
the twenty Ujiji boys who accompa-
MED him lived on goats during the as
cent and descent, driving the goats
and killing them when food was want
ed. The Ujiji boys were so struck with
the phenomenon of ice that they tried
to carry bits down to Ujiji. The trop-
ical sun nearly boiled the ice on the
way. Between Tanganyika and Lake
Albert Edward is lake called Kivu.
The best atlas published gives it as
about one-teDth the size of Albert Ed
ward. Mr.. Moore. who was accom-
panied by Malcolm Ferguson, geolo-
gtst and geophapher, found that Kivu
is larger than Albert Edward. The
north end of Tanganyika was found to
be fifty miles westward of its ascribed
position. 1t was between this lake and
kivu that the cannibals were met.
They are tall, light-colored men, more
like Arabs than negroes, and are born
thieves. They gave much trouble and
killed two or three bearers. but Mr..
Moore never had to fight them out
right. The primary object of the ex-
petition was to dredge and sound the
lakes with reference to the marine
forms which Mr.. Moore found there
four years ago. The question was
whether the jellyfish and crustaceans
originally got into Tanganyika by way
OF the Nile or the Congo. Having de-
termined that these marine species are
to be found in none Of the lakes north
of Tanganyika, Mr. Moore believes
that Tanganyika was once Joined tt
the sea by way of "a great basin in the
Congo state. When Tanganyika was
left high, if not dry, in the center o
Africa, the jellyfsh and crustacean!
of the sea remained behind and theil
descendants are fourishing today
They have been there many thousand
of years. for fossils they resemble ar,
to be found below the chalk level.

prevention for that dreaded disease o.

complaint 1t appears suddenly in the
shape of black swelling. usually on

ago that the disease was caused by a
5acterium. the bureau set to work to
prepare a vaccine which is obtained
from animals that have died OF the
complaint. Four years ago so, 900 doses
OF this stuff were sent out by way of
experiment, and the results obtained
were so remarkable that 100000 doses
were distributed in the following year
In response to requests In The third
year 100000 doses were given away,
and in 1900 over 100000 will be sent
out. How effective the vaccination is
as preventative of the malady may
be judged from the statement, as made
by cattlemen. that it reduced their
losses by blackleg to less than one
half ct one per cent, The vaccine is
furnished to injected ranges free OF
charge, and anybody may obtain it by
addressing an application to DR.. D. E

ture Preference is given to applica-

Prof. Sargent; and nurseries for the
propagation and study of rare speci-
mems have been prepared on large
scale. The whole section has been
graded and carefully planted with
every woody growth that can bear the
climate; old, decrepit trees have been
restored to life and beauty by careful
pruning and judicious tending; the
natural groves have been trimmed and
preserved; acres of shrubs have been
set out, and specimen trees planted in
way to insure their ultimate growth
into full perfection.
Though twenty-five years are very
few in the life of tree, already the
young plantations are tall and vigorous,
enabling the student to get a clear idea
of their habit of growth, and giving
pleasure to the eye of the most careless
passer-by, while the strawberries are a
wonder of bloom and fruitage.
Season of Beauty.
To the very edge of the noble avenues,
winding up the hillsides and through
the quiet intervales, crowd masses of
the rich native wild growth, so artist
cally trained and cultivated, that the
arrangement seems perfectly natural
and simple. Throughout the Towering
season of the year, one sees here per-
petual succession of brilliant bloom in
harmonious composition. And when
the last ruddy or golden leaf of autum
has fallen, the bright hues of stem and
berry remain to lend color to the road
sides throughout the winter.

dens of Kew and Paris are mere acces-
sories to the herbaceous collections, in

Landscape Gardening.

Landscape Gardening.
While the botanical order of Candolle
is there followed in the disposition of
the arborescent plants and trees, the
arrangement of the whole 220 acres has
been SO carefully planned by that genius
in landscape gardening, Mr.. Frederick
Law Olmstead assisted by the taste and
profound botanical knowledge of Prof.
Charles Sprague Sargent, that the scien
tific value of the collection is lost sight
of in the picturesque beauty of the
scene.
Twenty-Five years ago the ground
now occupied by this Arboretum was
rough, uncultivated region, partly hill
and partly low, swampy, ground,
sprinkled here and there with timber in
an unkept condition, and overrun by a
wild growth of native shrubbery. It,
however, rejoiced always in very
noble growth of ancient hemlocks,
which had survived the destruction of
the forest primeval, crowning steep
hill with it's sylvan beauty, which still,
with it's remote and savage charm so
strange to find hard by great CITY, re-
mains the most remarkable feature of
the Arboretum.
Harvard's Appropriation.
Harvard College, at that time, de-
cided to appropriate a bequest, made
some time before by Mr.. James Arnold,
of New Bedford, to the establishment
of an arboretum in connection with the
university, and SO set aside for that pur-
pose this tract of wild land which was
part of it's real estate.
The income of the Arnold fund,
which even now amounts only to $7 900,
was very inadequate sum for the
great task confronting Prof. Sargent,
who was appointed the director. He,
however, was able to make bargain
for Harvard college with the city of
Boston, by which the municipality was
to construct the roads and police the
grounds, on condition that the Arbore-
tum should be allowed to form part
of the fine park system by which that
town is surrounded.
Boston's part of the work is now COM

Natures School-Room.
The Arboretum is great school for
landscape gardeners all over the coun-
try, both on account of the complete
ness of it's equipment in arborescent
plants, and also for the skill with which
they are there handled and planted.
It is also lesson book for the many
thousands who stroll through it yearly,
enabling them to learn how the simple
resources of their native roadsides can
suffice to make their homes beautiful,
by wise selection from natures nursery
assisted by Intelligent care.
So complete, so instructive an institu-
tion as this is unquestionably something
for the whole country to be proud of.
Boston has nobly established it at
large expense, and it does not seem >un-
just, that from outside New England,
should now and then come contribu-
ton to help it on it's way, since the
Arboretum is not only of Importance to
it's own immediate neighborhood, but is
a source of information to all who care
for the cultivation of their grounds and
enjoy the introduction into them of
fresh specimens from outside.
