climate, his men must dress as warmly

The climate there is worse than in most

1t may seem strange that in going to

Dr.. Stuhlmann, who also made sturdy

have seven or eight peaks rising high above
the general level Of the ridge
One morning Stanley was tr1idging along
through the high grass when his gun bearer
suddenly cried:
"See sir, what big mountain; 1t Ia

Stanley looked in the direction pointed
out, and there sure enough, was mountain
of prodigious height and mass, its browning
SHOWS white against the blue sky. He
was sure this must be the Ruwenzori, which
the natives had told him had something
white like the metal OF his lamp, on the
top.
The mountain seemed to be about fifty
miles away and 1t was weeks before the
explorer discovered that 1t was not an
isolated summit but only part OF a range.
The fact is that one OF these mountains
had been seen eleven years before by Mason
Boy from the shores Of Albert Nyanza on
tho north.
When Stanley came home he declared
that this range was the long lost Mountains
Of the Moon Of Ptolemy, which had been

found that It was II 200 feet.
From all the testimony thus far no one
will be surprised II the Duke Of the Abruzzi
shall come home with the information that
the Kikauja and the Duwoni peaks Of
Ruwenzori at least, II not more OF these
SUBMITS, are higher than any other noun

The latest to attempt the ascent was
Davids, the Swiss naturalist, last year.

At that time an Arab geographer wrote:

come from these mountains and unite

contributors to the Nile
SANKEY'S contention that these were the
ancient Mountains OF the Moon was oon-
tested by some geographers. but the pre-
vailing opinion is that Stanley was right.
The literatur OF the past thirty years has
done more justice to Ptolemy's African
geography than all that preceded 1t; and
that great geographer, in the opinion OF
many leading scholars Of to-day. was the
chronioler Of Ruwenzori.
None who has reviewed this question
has greater weight than DR.. Henry Schlioh-
ter. who. in his discussion Of Ptolemy's
Topography OF Eastern Equatorial Africa,
says:
I'VE have seen that the western end Of

and Mr.. Stanley was therefore perfectly
justified in claiming to have found and
identified the lofty peaks. celebrated in
antiquity, in which the Nile takes It's rise
and which, for many centuries past, were
more enigmatical than any other noun
tains in the world"
No one knows how high the peaks Of this
range really are. Stanley said tho range
projected about 5000 feet above tho trough
In which Lakes Albert Edward and Albert

the frSt man to attempt to climb the range,
reached an altitude Of 1857 feet above the
sea. He said tho altitude Of the snow peak
above him was probably 5000 feet, making
the mountain cay, $1,000 feet high but he
could plainly zee that this was not the
highest peak in the range.
Scott Elliot estimated in 1895 that the
greatest height of Ruwenzori was about
le, 100 feet: but it had been definitely ascer-
tanned that the line OF perpetual snow was
about 1880 feet. and geosraphers agreed
that the photographs Of the mountains,
POOR as they were, plainly showed that the
snow extended more than mile above the
snowline on the highest peaks Moore
said, in 1901, that it was impossible to say,
as yet, which one OF the numerous snow
peaks is the highest. much less to give its
exact height.
Sir Harry Johnston said in his address
before the Royal Geographical Society in
1902 that he was personally convinced that
the highest point OF Ruwenzori IL not less
than O,OOO feet in altitude and that it will be
found to be the eliminating point Of Africa.

All Of them also have lacked adequate
means OF transportation or OF providing
shelter and food supplies. Above 1900
feet none CT them has found place where
hut could be built or tent raised to pro-
tect the men at night, for the slopes Of the
rocks and the ice are extremely steep.
To add to their difficulties there seems TO
extend clear around the range, between
5000 feet and the snow line, broad belt
OF wet moss and sodden vegetation into
which the climber sinks to his knees. The
belt is simply a sponge, and It Is impossible
to cross 1t dry shod.
Only rarely do they have the inspiration
OF magnificent scenery to spur them on.
Johnston was within sight Of Ruwennori
for three and a half months, and he saw
its SHOWS only six times, except, of course,
during the week that he was cambering
among them The range was wrapped In
fog most of the time.
All the explorers agree that the complete
and successful ascent Of the highest peaks
OF Ruwenzori will require as elaborate
preparation as exploration in tbs Andes or
the Himalayas. The facts here given show
that the Duke Of the Abruzzi Ia underta king
work Of no mean magnitude; but his splen-
did fitness for 1t and the complete equipment
he will take with him justify the hope that
he will be able to dspel tho mystery that

THINK 1T OVER.
Something You Can See in Any Res
taurant or Cafe.

A physician puts the query: Have
Won never noticed in any large res
taurant at lunch or dinner time the
men at the tables; whose ages run
from so to so years; many OF them
bald and all perhaps gray, but none OF
them feeble or senile?
Perhaps the spectacle is so common
as to have escaped your observation
or comment, but nevertheless it is an
object lesson which means something.
If you will notice what these hearty
old fellows are eating you Will observe
that they are not munch!ng bfah
crackers nor gingerly picking their
way thru a menu card of new tangled
health foods; on the contrary they
seem to prefer juicy roast OF beet,
q properly turned loin of mutton and
even the deadly broled lobster is not
altogether ignored.
The point of all this is that vigor-
Gus old age depends upon good dlses-
ton and plenty of wholesome food and
not upon dieting and an endeavor to
live upon bran crackers
There is a certain class of food
cranks who seem to believe that meat.
coffee and many other good things
are rank poisons, but these cadavegRus,
sickly-looking individuals are a walk
ing condemnation of their own theor-
les.
The matter in a nutshell is that if
the stomach secretes the natural di-
gestive juices in sufficient quantities,
any wholesome food will be promptly
digested; if the stomach does not do
so, and certain foods cause distress,
one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets after each meal will remove all
difficulty, because they supply just
what every weak stomach lacks, pep
sin, hydro chloric acid, diastase and
nux.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do not
act upon the bowels and in fact are
not strictly a medicine as they act al
most entirely upon the food eaten, di-
costing it thoroughly and thus gives a
much needed rest and giving an APP
petite for the next meal.
OF people who travel, nine out of ten
use Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, know
ing them to be perfectly safe to use
at any time and also having found out
by experience that they are a safe
6ud1u against diSoSSSioi III eeliy AoA
and eating as they have to, at all
hours, and all kinds of food, the trav-
cling public for years have pinned
their faith to Stuart's Tablets.
All druggists sell them at so cents
for full sized packages and any drug
gist from Maine to California, if his
opinion were asked, will say that Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets is the most
popular and successful remedy for any
stomach trouble.
