after the most arduous climb have
ever experienced, reached my high.
est point on the TANKS of the snow
range-14,s0O feet-the mountain

begun to climb, and lowered, so far
as 1 could estimate, another 5000
feet into the dark blue heavens. Per-
manent snow, however, lies as low as
$4,000 feet, which also is the low
est point to which any glacier
reaches, SO far as my limited inves-
tigation extends.
To effect complete and success
full ascent of the highest point Of
Ruwenzori requires as elaborate q
preparation as the exploration of
the Andes or Himalayas. An enor-
nous deal remains to be done in the
exploration of this, the most impor-
tant range of Africa. Hitherto we
have had mere peeps at this series
of snow-covered heights. The only
Europeans who have as yet topped
the snow of Ruwenzori are Mr..
Bagge, Messrs. Moore and Ferguson
and myself and my two companions.
and we have only touched it at one
spot, the head of the Mubuko valley.
Ruwenzori is no Kilimanjaro or Kenia,
no single snow mass. 1t is a chain
of heights like the Caucasus, with
considera bic intervals between the
principal masses of snow and ice.
The snow peaks of this range prob
ably extend over a distance of 80
miles from north to south.

UNCLE BILLY AND BR1cKBArs.
With the Old Man Economy Was q
Science That Was illustrated
i'm Novel Manner

That ignorance is bliss, and that
the loftiest man should be the hum
| blest, are two somewhat irrevelant
axioms which often are most inter
estlng when traced to their remote
point of conjunction, says the Detroit
Free Press.
Out in the cemetery, the other
day., matter-offact elderly man
remarked, Il noticed that Uncle
Billy's tombstone needed straighten-
ing up. A touch would do it, and as
l pulled it into position l couldn't
help smiling. Now, I was not smiling
at the crooked tombstone, but at an
early recollection-an episode in con-
nectlon with this same Uncle Billy.
HE was fine man and power in
his community, but he had been fru-
galIy reared-all our first settlers
had to make economy a science, you
know; and even after Uncle Billy had
grown wealthy in the wholesale dry
goods business, he still practiced the
most rigid methods of saving, by
which he had accumulated money. 1
was q clerk IN stove store, as we
used to call them, when he was quite
an elderly man. A bachelor he was,
and had a spinster sister, Aunt
Sarah, for his housekeeper.
"Well, he bought new stove from
us, fine library stove-no furnaces
at that time in the ordinary homes in
this city. In day or two he dropped
in to complain that the stove wouldn't
throw out heat enough
to warm cat. He was droll-Uncle
Billy was-but had a fine, courtly
bearing, too. The firm sent me out |
to his house to see what was the mat
ter with that stove. At the door
Aunt Sarah met me and said in a low
tone: William, if you will make your
Uncle William take peck of brick
bats out of that stove, I think it will
hold coal enough to warm the room
"Sure enough, the stove was half
full of brickbats. It was Uncle
Billy's frugal idea that all stoves held
too much coal for their own good;
and that he could cut down his coal
bills by deep layer of brickbats in
