MANY TOURISTS TRAVEL
OVER UGANDA RAILROAD
Trip to Central Africa Offers
Many Unusual Features for the
Dedication of Travellers.
BIG HERDS OF ZEBRAS

LONDON, May 2s.-"Ten years ago it
would have cost at least $4,000 to visit
Uganda. Now it can be done in a fort
night from the coast, distance of eight
hundred miles, at a cost of s25 in perfect
comfort
These statements were made by Mr. Cum
ningham, secretary for the Uganda Pro-
tectorate, to a representative of Reuters
Agency on his arrival in London.
There has been an extraordinary devel-
opment of tourist traffic on the Uganda
Railway" added Mr.. Cunningham Il
should say ten thousand is small estimate
of the number of visitors to be looked for
during the coming season"
The scenery is unique. and there are
about fifty miles of geological gardens
teeming with wild animals to oe seen on
the journey from the coast. AS Mr.. Cum
ningham was coming down country he
passed through a herd of fully fifty thou
sand zebras and saw twenty ostriches and
some rhinoceroSes and CRATES in the dis
lance, while the plain simply swarmed with
gazelles. The zebras merely parted to let
the train pass.
The natives are even more interesting
than the wild animals. They may be seen
busy in their gardens along the railway,
and their ideas of clothing are still those
of races which have newly come in con-
tact with white
Uganda is a very habitable country
said Mr. Cunningham. Il have lived there
for five years and have never once had
fever Speaking from my own experience,
] can say that If any person is suffering
from throat or lung trouble goes to Uganda
a month will probably make him all right
again."
One Of the attractions Of the visit is a
cruise round Lake Victoria, occupying
about a week, and the sight of the magnifi-
cent Ripon Falls. The journey from Nom
hasa on the coast to the lake takes only
two days, and there bungalows en-

CONSTANTINOPLE. May 2S.-The pas

times daily he plunges into the sea and
tries 10 swim across but is always baf-
fled by the tide and swept back.
Whenever boat from Arnaoutkeui
passes this canine emulator of Leander's
famous feat recognizes II and howls to be
