BIGGEST GAME PRESERVE.
Several Nations Interested IN Vast
Territory of Africa.

Several Nations interested In a Vast
Territory of Africa.
The largest game preserve in the
world is the continent of Africa, or
at least the greater portion of tex
tending from the twentieth degree of
north latitude down to the northern
borders of Cape Colony and Natal.
This great scheme was made possible
by a treaty cooperation Of England,
Germany, France, Belgium, Portugal,
Italy and Spain, by which it is pro-
vided that the hunting and destruc-
ton of vultures,, secretary birds, owls.
giraffes, gorillas, chimpanzees, noun
tain zebras, white-tailed gnus, Glands
and the little Liberian hippopotami are
absolutely prohibited. Similar protec-
ton is given the young of certain ami
mails, including the elephant, rhinoc-
eros, hippopotamus, antelope, gazelle.
ibex and chevrotain, and to the adults
of these species when accompanied by
their young. Particular stress is laid
on the protection of young elephants,
and elephant tusks weighing less than
twenty pounds will be confiscated.
The eggs of the ostrich and many other
birds are protected, but those Of the
crocodile, python and poisonous snakes
are to be destroyed. Even lions, Loop
ards. hyenas, harmful monkeys and
large birds Of prey may not be slaught-
cred at the hunters will. Hunters are
required to take out licenses, and the
number OF animals each may kill Is
limited. The use Of nets and pitfalls
is forbidden, nor may explosions be
used for killing fish. The main object
of this vast protective enterprise is
economic, to encourage the domestica-
ton of the elephant. zebra and ostrich
and to husband the trade in wild ami
NAL products. which was threatened by
the rapacity of market hunters and So
called sportsmen.

this sorrow that see about met Yes:
the thought of resurrection and re-
union far beyond this scene of strug-
gle and tears. They shall hunger no
more, neither thirst any more, neither
shall the sun light on them nor any
heat, for the Lamb which is in the
midst of the throne shall lead them to
living fountains of water, and God
shall wipe away all tears from their
eyes" Across the couches of your
sick and across the graves of your
dead l fling this shower of sweet
spices. Queen Balkis. driving up to
the pillared portico of the house of

fume as exhales to-day from the Lords
garden. 1t is peace. 1t is sweetness.
The Most Magnificent Temple.
Have you read of the Tai Mahal, In
jestic building on earth? Twenty
thousand men were twenty years in
building it. 1t cost about $16,000,000.
The walls are Of marble inlaid with
carnelian from Bagdad and turquoise
from Tibet and jasper from the Pun
jab and amethyst from Persia and all
manner Of precious stones. A traveller
said that it seemed to him like the
shining of the enchanted castle of
FURNISHED silver. The walls are 245
feet high, and from the top of these
springs a dome 80 more feet high, that
cot ,;r he f,,l
echo the world has ever known, so
that ever and anon travellers standing
below with flutes and drums and harps
are testing that echo, and the sounds
from below strike up, and then come
down, as it were, the voices of angels
al around about the building. There
is around it a garden of tamarind and
banyan and palm and all the floral
glories of the ransacked earth. But that
is only tomb of dead empress, and
1t is tame compared with the grand
eurs which God has builded for your
living and immortal spirit.
Oh, home of the blessed! Founda-
lions of gold! Arches of victory! Cap
stones of praise! And dome in which
there are echoing and re-echoing the
halleluiahs of the ages! And around
about that mansion is a garden, the
garden of God, and all the springing
fountains are the bottled tears of the
church in the wilderness and all the
crimson of the flowers is the deep hue
that was caught up from the carnage
Of earthly martyrdoms and the fra
GRANGE is the prayer Of all the saints
and the aroma puts into utter forget
fulness the cassia and the spikenard
and the frankincense and the world
renowned spices which Queen Balkis
of Abyssinia flung at the feet of King
Solomon.
When shall these eyes thy heaven
built walls
And pearly gates behold,
Thy bulwarks, with salvation strong,
And streets of shining gold?

There Is no hiding place which a
keen eye would not detect. have
looked in every direction. So, Aswad,
save us by your stout arms"
Il fear the demons will prevail
said Ulin, in tone Of GREATNESS sus-
pense.
Il dare not hope otherwise" return
ed Abba.
IF they do come, we must find
some place in which to hide"
Alas. my dear mistress, there is no
such place. If We go up among the
rocks, We not only run the risk of be-
ing easily found, but we run the
greater risk Of starving"
II would rather starve than fall into
the dread Julians hands," said Ulin.
1T would be a terrible death to
starve upon those bleak rocks" re-
turned Abba, with shudder. But I
will share your fate, my mistress, let
it be what it may"
''And would not death by starvation
be. preferable to the fate which must
meet us II that monster captures us?
o, Abba, cannot think of it,"
Before the slave could reply they
saw Aswad again coming toward them;
but he did not enter the palace. He
struck off into path that led to the
westward, and fled with all his might.
Directly afterwards a score of the
guards came rushing from the pass,
and when they had gained the open
space, they threw down their swords
and sank upon their knees.
What means that" cried Ulin
Are they killed."
NO" answered Abba. "They are
overcome, and have surrendered. See!
there come the victors!"
Let us flee!" exclaimed the prin-
cess, starting to her feet. 20, We must
find some place of REFUGEE"
Abba was more thoughtful. She
saw very plainly that fight would be
useless.
MY dear mistress" she said, taking
Ulin's hand. I'VE must hope for the
best. If we leave the palace, we shall
be overtaken at once; for the way to
the mountains lies only through the
park of fountains. If we flee to the
garden in the rear, we shall be surely
found, and it may be worse. for us IN
the end. II this dreadful Julian has
the least spark of humanity in his
bosom, he will respect you more in
your own chamber than he would If he
found you hiding in the garden"
Spirits of mercy defend us!" ejacu-
lated the princess, clasping her hands
upon her bosom. and sinking back in
her seat. 20, Abba, Abba, the pres
ence of the king would now be bles.
sing"
The faithful slave crept close to her
mistress, and tried to speak words of
comfort; but her own fears were too
deep and intense to permit comfort
ing power to her words. She could
not be calm in view of the coming Of
that dreadful man, at the sound of
whose name even the monarchs trem-
bled.

In Mexico experience has conclusive
ly shown that officers and even SOL
diers cannot be improvised, and the
very first care Of General Diaz has
been to establish a good school for in
structing scientific officers. The milf
tary school of Chapultepec in its ac-
tual condition is the fruit of his efforts.
Many foreign officers of different ma
tionalities have visited that establish
ment and believe that 1t ranks among
the first in the comprehensiveness and
perfection of military instruction there
impaired and In the severe but just
discipline to which the cadets are sub
jected.-National Geographic Maya.

FIND AIDS SCHLEY'S CAUSE
Important Unpublished Dispatch Is
Found in Records.
LIGHT ON SAMPSON ORDER.
Commanding OGicer Directed That the
Flying Squadron Remain on Cienruegos
Counsel for schiey IL Picking Up
Information to be Used In Inquiry.

Washington, Aug. additional in
formation of great Importance to Rear
Admiral Schloy has been obtained by
Captain James Parker of counsel for
the admiral, as a result of his exami-
nation of the log books of ships and
reports of officers who participated in
the Santiago campaign. The facts
gathered bear particularly upon the
movements of the flying squadron of
Cienfuegos and Santiago The publ
cations issued by the navy depart
ment, of course, contain every dispatch
received and sent. For instance, in the
report made by Rear Admiral Sampson,
which includes his correspondence
with Admiral Schley, one dispatch.
known as No. Z, is omitted. This dis
patch directed Admiral Schley to re-
main off Cienfuegos.
In an instruction to Admiral Samp-
son, dated May 10, Secretary Long
said:
THE report of the Spanish fleet be-
ing at Santiago de Cuba might very
we'll be correct so the department
strongly advises that you send word
Immediately by the Iowa to Sehley to
proceed at once to Santiago with his
whole command"
Admiral Sampson replied that after
considering the information contained
in the message he had decided in favor
of the plan already adopted of holding
the position off Cienfuegos. This plan
might be changed, he said, when it be-
came certain that the Spanish fleet was
at Santiago.
Captain Parker completed his pre-
liminary examination of the logs and
papers and returned last night to New
York. He will resume his examina-
ton next week.
The navy department today admit
ted that Captain Parker had lodged
complaint with Acting Secretary
Hackett about the treatment he had
received. Mr.. Hackett explained to
him that the regulations required an
officer to be present when a person
not connected with the service exam
ined log books and official documents.
Captain Parker's complaint, however.
had some effect. While two officers re-
NAMED with him in the office of the
secretary he was apparently not as
much annoyed today by their presence
as he was yesterday
No Successor to Kimberly.
Washington, d. c., Aug. 5.-The
navy department did not announce to-
day the successor of Admiral Kimber-
ly on the Schley court of inquiry. In
his letter Admiral Kimberly says: Il
regret to have to request that 7 may
be detached from said duty. owing to
disability from weak heart and its
attending complications. being under
medical treatment for the same. Much
to my modification this is the first
department order that am unable to
honor during a naval life of fifty-five
years" Acting Secretary Of the Navy
Hackett, in answer to the admiral.
says: LET me hasten to assure you
that there is no cause for modification
at this incident On the contrary, 1t
affords an opportunity of which the
department gladly avails itself to con-
graduate you for a record so loyal to
the service"

According to the New York Herald
Washington is the only modern capt.
tai Except st. Petersburg), that was
originally designed and lcid out as, a
capital city. Likewise, the federal
capitol has the unique honor Of being
the first building in history erected
simply to hold legislature. The Ro-
man Senate met in a temple, as did
all ancient deliberative bodies. Med
ieval legislatures were convened in
palace halls or in monastic or semi
religious establishments. Even the
state houses of our colonies were de-
signed to shelter the entire govern
ment-legislative executive and judi
cial. But the capitol at Washington
was planned to hold the lawmakers
of the nation and for no other pur-
pose.

Koran, King of Damascus, then at
its glory as the zenith city of the
east, bemoaned the coming of old age
without prospective heir to the throne.
In his younger days he had loved
Helen. his queen, but fearing that she
was disloyal to him had her cast into
the black, swift flowing Phorpar. At
the time the story opens Ulin, the
daughter of About Cassem, the kings
prime minister, three times dreams
that she has become the wife of the
king and that son being born to
then Is heir to the throne. Cassem
tells the story to the king. The latter
having long admired the many charms
of Ulin, seeks an interview with her
and on the sixth day following they
are to be married. He thereupon
abolishesSh is harem. Within the week
Abba, the pretty slave maid-in-wait-
ing to Ulin, tells the story of the tragic
fate Of Helen. The story makes deep
impression and preys upon the mind Of
the bride-to-be. But her father urges
her on and she now deems it sacred
duty TO become the, queen. On the
morning set for the wedding Ulins
mother dies. According to the laws of
Damascus she must go into mourning
retirement for thirty days. Koran
agrees with her father that she shall
pass the period of mourning in Sc
cluded palace in the beautiful Valley of
Lycanius. This valley is the sole pos
session of the king and can only be
reached by one passage through a
mighty mountain, capable of admitting
but one person at a time. Thither
Ulin goes with Abba, where they are
placed under the protection of the
attendants by the king and Ulin's
father. Six days after their entering

of nature until the very rocks are
worn smoothe beneath the mighty
tread of that army of constant vi

falls of the Canadian side, plung-
ing headlong into the seething
abyss below, it fills ones mind
with feelings of tho sublime. The

sed. The trolley cars can take one

dually ascend the bank until you

The whirlpool rapids is a Won
