Germanv's Little Colonies.

According to the Cologne GaZet e
the German war Office has decided to
place the Cameroons, German Africa.
under the regular administration OF
the government and increase the gar
risons in Banye and Garua. Apropos
of the general subject, the Gazette
publishes an exhaustive account of
German military operations in Adam
ava district in the Cameroons, ac-
cording to which the German colonial
troops recently undertook an expe-
dition from Garua to Lake Chad.
This expedition was not contemplated
by the government, but was rendered
necessary by unforeseen circum-
stances. Its result was to bring the
whole OF Adamawa, including the
German territory adjoining Lake
Chad, definitely under German rule.
The conquered native chiefs have sub
mitted to German authority, and with
their help it will be possible to main.
tain order everywhere.

Nay, for forever and forever rest

Bathed in loneliness of perfect day,
Those shining paths where an Almighty

He turns with sweeter life and warmer
And holds his hand to those that climb

the senate stationer never to change

these boxes can be obtained and when

last week. This was to swim from
the whirlpool through the rapids OF

No other human being has swum
this section of the river and lived.
but Kendall, Boston policeman, did
swim through the rapids above the
whirlpool and come out all right. His
feat was greater than Graham's.
Graham made his start from the
New York shore of the pool, leaving
a ledge of rock and slipping into the
water a short distance above the out
let. so that he rounded the sharp
angle and turn. dashing through the
mighty waves that roll there. The
trip was full of peril.
