Millionaire to
Explore the
Blue Nile
ESPECIAL correspondence.l

st. Louis, Feb. 24.-St Louis people
are particularly interested in the cable
dispatches from England announcing
that an expedition to explore the source
of the Blue Nile river in remote north
east Africa will start from Abyssinia
before the end of next month, and that
the leader of the expedition Is already
en- route to the country of Menelek.
This leader is Mr.. William Northrup
Mcmillan, prominent young ST. Louis
man, q millionaire who has long been
known as a devotee of jungle hunting
and is not unknown to fame as an ex-
plorer.
Mr.. Mcmillan will take into Africa
one Of the largest expeditions of recent
years. Like Stanley. he will carry
steel boats in sections, and when he
plored Blue Nile he will launch these
boats and descend the river. A hun
dred camels will be required to carry
his equipment, and his caravan will be
a quarter of a mile in length.
The expedition was made possible
owing to the fact that the American,
who is only thirty years of age, is
personal friend Of the Abyssinian mon
arch. When Ras Makonnen, the noted
savage warrior, attended King Ed
wards coronation as the representative
of Menelek, he bore with him an invita-
ton to Mr.. Mcmillan to visit Abyssinia
as Menelek's guest, and as an earnest
- E,st 4
sian with gold medal that will insure
him protection while he is in the ETH
opian realm.
When the British government learn
ed that Mr.. Mcmillan had decided not
only to accept Menelek's invitation,
but to utilize the opportunity to ex-
plore the country whence came the
queen Of Sheba and where King Solo
mons mines were located, they imme-
diately offered to have a gunboat
awaiting him at the juncture of the
Blue and White Niles. Their interest
In the matter was explained by the
fact that should the Blue Nile be found
navigable from its source to the White
Nile boats will be put on it to carry
British goods into Abyssinia, which IS
a British protectorate. Mr.. Mcmillan, |
who Is bearing the whole expense of
the expedition, promptly accepted the
British offer. as the gunboat will be
very useful should danger arise or pro-
visions run short.
This will not be Mr.. McMillan's first
visit to Abyssinia. When he was
twenty years old, he was afflicted with
a bronchial trouble and was sent by
his father to New Mexico, where he
spent couple OF years on a ranch, lir-
Ing the life Of cowboy. This resulted
In his developing taste for adven-
ture, sport and an out Of door existence.

Ro.ebery,s Eaert. to woo sleep.

e. P. O'Connor writes In M. A. p.
thus: 1T is well known that Lord
Rosebery has been cursed that Is the
worldly recurrent insomnia all
through his life. ! know no malady
which is more calculated to sap the en-
ergy and destroy the nerve of man
than sleeplessness, and l believe that
much Of what is apparently erratic in
the career Of Lord Rosebery is to be
attributed to the want of sequence
which the depression of sieeplessness,
amounting sometimes almost to de-
spair, has produced in his mind. OF the
many remedies which haves been tried
by Lord Rosebery for this distressing
nalady. the most original is that which,
according to one paper, find he now
resorts to at Dalmeny. 1t is to order
with four horses to be ready
for him at 10 o'clock at night, long
after he has had dinner. In this equi-
page. preceded by an outrider, Lord
Rosebery rides for hours. It is one Of
the many ways in which he hopes to

After bis fathers death the idea of
spending much OF his time hunting big
game took possession of him, and,
with view to carrying this out. he
made trip to Egypt in November Of
1901. There he gathered caravan,
made an excursion into the desert and
then decided to hunt lions in Abyssin.a.
BE returned to Port Said and sailed
down the Mediterranean to Jibuti,
where there are many natives who
make business Of tracking large
game and acting as carriers for Jungle
expeditions. Forming a party Of fifty
OF these men. he started for Menelek,s
country. The hunt was very success
full, Mr. Mcmillan bagging, in addition
to many lesser wild animals, three
magnificent specimens OF the king Of
the jungle.
The present journey win first take
the venturesome young millionaire
southwest In Abyssinia for rhinoceros
hunting. Then he will visit Menelek at
his capital, Adisa Beba. Menelek, al
though one OF the most remote of ID
tied rulers, Is up to date In many ways,
and Mr.. Mcmillan will include in his
baggage 4 silk hat and an evening
suit. for he has been Informed that
Menelek will be greatly offended
should he appear before him In any.
thing but full dress.
From Adisa Beba. the young explorer

famous river and win be accompanied
BY Colonel John L. Harrington. an
Englishman; Isador Morse, Bosto-
MAN, and possibly another ST. Loui-.
sian.

The Era Of the waterfalls.

One of the most notable things in the
rapid march of mechanical science is
the increasing use of waterfalls for the
production Of electric power. This is
going on in all parts of the world and
has resulted in an enormous increase
IN the money value of the falls. Some
one has estimated that Niagara falls,
as producer of power, is worth ST.
100000. Waterfalls are now driving
ramcars, lighting cities, running fac
tories, irrigating farms and performing
innumerable other services, often at Il
distance Of many miles from the source
of power. Italy, Astounding with wa
terfalls on the slopes of the Alps and
the Apennines, is among the leaders In
this advance. In India 1t Is proposed
to derive $4,000 horsepower from the
Doogh Sugar river, at point where Its
waters descend about $500 feet.

The Alderman. Advice.

Archdeacon Sinclair told a story at
the lord mayors banquet in London of
the days when he was a young vicar in
Westminster, and, together with d
number OF other young men, many
OF them clergymen. he dined. with a
distinguished alderman. After the la
dies had left the gentlemen to their
cigars, the distinguished alderman fixed
the young men with stony glare
and expressed desire to offer them
one word OF good advice An expectant
pause followed. the young clergymen
expecting some words of exhortation.
The alderman solemnly proceeded.
Young men, IL ever any of you are
brought up before me, don't pretend to
know me, and then can let you or"

Among other things he was trained to
hit a punching bag, and SO enamored
OF that form of sport did the lad be-
come that In school he has developed
strong pugilistic propensities. He was
placed In a well known Quaker insti-
tuition for boys and displayed such
propensity for settling all difficulties by
fistic encounter that the senator decid-
ed it was wiser Roderick should prose-
cute his studies elsewhere. He had
licked all the boys In the school.
Some time after the election of Rep.
resentative Hopkins to be senator from
illinois, succeeding the present incum-
bent, the members of the Mason family
Were assembled one evening, lamenting
their approaching departure from Wash
ington, talking over prospects, what the
senator should do when he goes out of
office and what was likely to become of
oil of them.
Young Roderick was noticeably silent
during the discussion in which his IA
Their and mother and brothers and sis
