Especial Correspondence

nERHAPS no portion of the world,
at the present time, offers more
attractions, or more difficulties
and dangers, to the explorer and finan-
cier than the territory lying within
the borders of the Uganda Protecto-
rate in Africa. Its resources are al
most incalcuable and n description of
a small portion of them might fill vol
umes. The Typographical features of
this woodland present such impressive
effects in form and color as can no.
where be seen except on the dark
continent. The mountain peaks of
Ruwenzori are said to be the loftiest
in Africa, one of them reaching
height of over 10000 feet. 1t is not
known that anyone has ever yet
reached this summit. The native
guides succumb to the cold even more
easily than the white explorers. The
ascent presents great difficulties which
multiply after the snow line is passed.
The precipitation of moisture is so
excessive that after height of 5000
feet has been gained it is almost un-
bearable, as the ground is covered by
n deep moss bed in which one sinks
continuously to ankle and sometimes
to the hips. This alternates with slip
perry rocks or Shiny fallen tree trunks
SO. hard that contact with n broken
branch often causes a severe wound.
Longonot, an extinct volcano, is said
to be over 10000 feet high. Some of
the Aberdau mountains loom 10000
feet above sea level. while from the
great plateau. the Mau, mountains
rise to 11,000 feet. Elgon is an i'm
mense tract of extinct craters which
seems to form a continuation of the
Mau. Elgon is said to cover an area
of 5000 miles square. Such figures
give faint idea of the vastness of the
piled up masses. To the north stretch
away lofty hills further than the eye
can reach.
All through the Uganda Protectorate
are mountains, the proportions of
which would seem great if not so near
the awful heights of Ruwenzori. One
range forms a watershed between the

yet no suitable craft have been placed

progresses towards what seems the
end of the gulf, faint current Is OBJ
served and sharp line of hills bor-
ders the shore line. An abrupt turn
of the gulf around barrier of sharp
rocks, white with guano, reveals a
swift river and veil of spray curtair-I
ing beautiful palm-crowned islands.
The densely wooded river banks are
about 200 feet high. Nearly n mile dis
tant may be seen large areas of fine
grass land, with occasional clumps of
trees. Here the river is, perhaps, 400
feet wide and rushes over decline of
about 80 feet, called Ripon falls. An
easy path leads down the bank and the
upward view is most beautiful and
impressive. A tourist is not likely to
be alone in viewing the scene, for
groups of natives resort here for the
purpose of spearing the fish which, in
large numbers, are carried over the
falls. Birds of prey are also seen on
every side trying their fortunes as
fishermen. The green forest, purple
in theTlistance, the richly colored date
palms, the orange of their fruit con-
trasting with the green of their wav-
ing foliage, the brilliant blues and
green's of the river, touched with white
foam and glimmering through the
spray, present charming picture.
The country affords almost unlimited
pasturage for the large variety of
grazing animals which abound. In
fno ~, n1e i,
tion thrive here.
On the shores of the lakes, in tho
magnificent forests, in fact through
the whole Uganda country, are to be
found birds of every variety, shape
and coloring; storks. pheasants, os-
triches, birds of most cumbersome
shape and those of daintiest anatomy
fill the air with their cries or songs.
These have their counterpart in the
trees and flowers to be found on
every hand. The beauty of the for
ests is said to be beyond all descrip-
tion, but to oppress one travelling
through them until the impression of
living in bygone age becomes al
most unbcarable. Trees with heavy
black trunks, with beautiful white
stems, with dark, almost impenetra-
BILE foliage, with graceful, lightly
waving leaves, with vines of every
grotesque or pleasing shape and va

and enveloped in an atmosphere OF
over-development and rapid vegetable
decay, in time induce sensation OF
such intense awfulness that one finds

it necessary to, as soon as possible.
seek the open country and bright
sunshine. Flowers on trees and
ground are like living flames, others
as dainty as snowflake. Every
color and shade is repre- sented.
Some trees bear large punches of
flowers, each resembling large,
bright scarlet teacup. Others, again,
snow-white blossoms with an appear
ance of having been powdered with
lilac. India-rubber trees have large,
white flowers with yellow centers.
Some trees do not bear leaves and
flowers at the same time, but, when
destitute of the former, are covered
with crimson or scarlet growth of
the latter. Butterflies of brilliant
blue and other dazzling colors drift
through the air.
To height of about 5000 feet the
forest is tropical, after which tree
ferns and tree-lilacs appear. AT 1000
feet may be seen yews and, higher
still, jumpers. At 5000 feet are bam-
boos, the last traces of tropical
growth. Now appear tree lobelias
and higher still lichens. Finally
vegetation almost disappears.
Nearly all fruits and crops will grow
in this climate so near the equator as
to be tropical in the lowlands, and yet
with the mountain attitudes furnish
ing temperature like that of the coo,.~
err zones. No fruit furnishes moro
interesting study than the banana,
IL; -. & & 1
aud has no juicy, edible pulp. Ii is
generally believed to have been intro
duced into Africa from Asia where its
nearest relative among wild plants is
still found. 1t does not seem to have
originated from the wild banana
plants Indigenous to African soil and
which are found in great quantities
from Abyssinia to Natal. These last
have no sweet pulp, but a pith, and
glossy back seeds, much priced by the
natives as ornaments. They are very
beautiful plants because of the color
ing and shape of their enormous leaves.
The cultivated fruit forms the chief
article of food for certain tribes. 1t
contains no seeds, small, dark streaks
indicating where they might have
been. Besides the possibilities of min
eral wealth. as yet almost undevel-
oped, the land abounds in game of al
most every variety. Cattle and all
kinds of domestic animals are raised
by the natives who, as a RUE, prefer
n meat diet. From these same natives
laborers may be hired at small wages.
While this vast and fertile country re-
mains to great extent uninhabited
there need be no fear of young men
lacking opportunities for improving
their fortunes. EDWARD JULIAN.

afraid? Why, of course not. You
forget that l was ii last month, and
what in the world should / be afraid
of, anyway" and Dorothy laughed
at the thought.
A few moments later she stood at
the window with two-year-old Nellie
the baby of the family, in her arms,
and watched her father and mother
drive away down the snow-drifted
road. She smiled brightly as long as
they remained in sight, but when a
turn in the road hid the sleigh she felt
just bit lonely after all, and it was
not surprising that she did. There
were no other houses within sight
their nearest neighbor llfed a mile
away, and, standing as it did upon q
seldom-traveled road, the Hunter
homestead was dreary place.
However, Dorothy did not spend
much time meditating. She paused
just long enough at the window to
note the few, big, slowfalling flakes
advance messengers of the coming
storm, and then went about the be
lated household tasks. So much was
there to be done that not until the
old clock upon the mantel twanget

the hour of three, did Dorothy pause
\ for more than the short rest which
she took while eating her simple din
ner; then, with Nellie in her arms,
she sank gratefully into the old-fash-
| ioned rocker by the sitting-room win
dow, and as she glanced out was sur
prised to see how fast and furious
the storm had grown. The snow was
falling so heavily that she could not
even see the barnyard fence, and she
remembered with a sigh of relief that
her father had said the chores were
all done, so that the stock would need
no further attention until morning
If he should not return that night.
AS she sat and hummed drowsy
little tune to the baby, Dorothy
thought she heard the gate latch
click, and moment later some one
knocked loudly at the door. She
hastily laid Nellie in her crib and
went to open it, and there, to her
surprise, stood great, bearded,
rough-looking stranger. A trampl
thought the girl in dismay that was
not lessened by the mans request,
made in a hoarse voice, to be allowed
to come in and get warm before going
farther in the storm. Dorothy had
been taught that hospitality is most
gracious virtue, so she assented to
the strangers plea, and drew chair
for him close to the roaring fire.
isn't this the Hunter farm?" in
quired the unwelcome guest, after a
moment or two, as he spread out his
brown hands to the grateful blaze.
"Yes, sir. That is my fathers
name," replied Dorothy quietly, re-
suming her seat by the window.
"Where is he? The folks haven't
all gone away and left you alone,
have they?"
For moment Dorothy hesitated,
and then she told him the story of
her aunt's misfortune and how her
parents had gone to render her what
ever assistance they could. For long
time then the silence was unbroken,
and Dorothy began to think it high
time that her guest was taking his
departure, when he suddenly said:
you couldn't make up your mind to
let me stop for the night, could you,
sis? I've come long ways to-day
and am tired enough. I'd be right
glad if you could let me stay"
80, no, couldn't do it! l am sure
father and mother would not wish
me to. You must go on, and don't
you think it is time you started? 1t
is getting dark, you see," and Dorothy
half rose from her chair in her eager
ness to urge the departure of this
than half afraid.

'Well, 1 suppose it is time to start
if I've got to CO." and the stranger
rose wearily and buttoned his worn
coat tight up to his chin, to keep out
the freezing blast of the storm. How
far is it to Dutton?" he added, turn
ing again to Dorothy.
1.-TWO miles. It's good ways to
walk when you are so tired. L do
wish father and mother were home
so you could stay here" and then she
asked softly, as though she were al
most ashamed: 'Have you any money
to pay for your lodging when you get
to Dutton?"
"It's shame to have to tell it.,
Miss but" the stranger began, and
then he coughed and stammered, in
embarrassment, and the sympathetic
girl hastened to his relief.
"Oh, yes, l know!" in a plying
tone. "You must have had bad luck"
and then she went to a drawer in the
bureau and took out shabby, lit
tie pocketbook in which were two
coins, a silver dime and half dollar.
Here, take this she said, laying
! the larger piece INTO his hand. u
have more and shall not need it; it
will pay for bed and breakfast for
you, poor man."
The stranger took the money and
a moment later was swallowed up in
the storm, and Dorothy was left again
alone. At nine o'clock that night,
when she had long since given them
up and gone to bed, Mr.. and Mrs.
Hunter reached home, tired and
chilled from their long ride. Dorothy
