The history Of Uganda forms an i'm

East African coast. In 1877 the Church
Missionary Society had sent a party Of
pioneers 70 Uganda, who we're soon fol-
lowed by a Roman Catholic mission. II Il
well known that the early days Of Christi
anity In Uganda were very stormy. The
missions met with alternate encourage
ment and persecution. Professionals fought
with Roman Catholics, and both with No

fore mentioned agreement, concluded with
Germany In 1890, the British East Africa
Company. which had received a royal
charter In 1883, proceeded TO occupy Ugan-

order In a praiseWorthy manner. The
company. however, found tho occupation

In a volume Of some 800 pages, issued
by Messrs Longmans. Green 4 Co. TAe
East Africd PrOtsctJral'. by Sir CHARLH
ELIOT. We have an authoritative account
Of the valuable territories acquired by
Great Britain between Lake Victoria and
the Indian Ocean. The writer's quuliilca-
tions for the task will be evident when We
recall that he was from January, 1901 70
June, 1904, Commissioner for the Protector
ate. In giving British and American readers
a summary Of his personal observations,
his primary purpose IL TO point out the OPP
pOrtunlties which the country Offers Tor
European colonization, and TO indicate
the effect which such colonization would
be likely TO have on the future develop
ment Of Africa. TO that end, after a brief
historical retrospect he devotes three
chapters 20 a description Of the physical
features Of the region. He then touches
on the various tribes which compose the
somewhat eclnty native p)pu alton and
proceeds to discuss a number Of questions
relating to climate, health and products.
There are also chapters on the Uganda
Railway: on the trade, actual and pro-
spective, Of the Protectorate, and on the
missionary work which has been prose-
cuted among the natives The author
has added some account Of the German
and Italian possessions in East Africa. and
explains the connection Of the PTotectorate
OF Uganda with Egypt through the Sudan.
There is much mis,onception current
concerning the nomenclature and geo.
graphical divisions Of the British posses
sous in Fast equatorial Africa. The Fast
Africa Protectorate, for n stance, is often
confounded with the Protectorate Of
Uganda As a matter Of fact, the Pro
tectoHte Of Uganda lies to the west and
north Of Lake Victoria, and consists Of
the native kingdom Of the same name
together with other territories, such as
Unyoro, Usoga, Ankole and Toru. 1t rs
Mt present black mans country and
hardly suited 70 Euro pean colonization,
being low, hot, thickly populated with
native races, and largely covered with
forests or tail guss. II in, on the other
hand. to the east Of Uganda, between Lake
Victoria and the Indian Ocean, that the
East Africa Protectorate is situated. The
latter British possession is somewhat varied
in scenery and character, but is prom ounced
10y our author on the whole a white mans
country, irasmuch as il contains large
open tracts, more than 5000 feet high, with
soanty native population, a heathful,
temperate climate, ard a soil excellent for
both pasturage and agriculture. Il should
further be noted that the British Central
Africa Protectorate has nothing TO do with
Uganda, and il in point Of fact not CEN
tnl, hut lies to the south and east Of Lake
Nyassa; that the Uganda Railway is not
in Uganda at all, but wholly within the
limits Of the British East Africa Pro-
tectorate. and that the Somaliland Pro-
tectoate lies on the Gulf Of Alden, and
has nothing to do with the northern dis
tricts Of the East Africa Protectorate.

and are sometimes called Somaliland, but

ANIMALS NEW TO SCIENCE.

Among collection ofsome twenty
living animals received some time
since by the New York Geological
Society from Capatin Thos. Golding,
of the ship Alfrida, was small, white
creature that proved to be puzzle to
all natural history experts who saw it.
1t is twenty-one inches long-a little
more than twenty.seven, counting in
the tail-and stands rather more than
ten inches high at the shoulders.
1t rather resembles a small Spitz
dog. but it is not dog any more than
it is a racoon, although the shape of
the head and the face marking that
seem to belong SO peculiarly to the
family of Procyonidae, are marvel
ously initiated in this little beast.
Perhaps it resembles white Arctic
fox more than it does any other crea-
ture. 1t had been called a white fox
in the country (Northern JAPAN from
which Captain Golding obtained it,
but it is evidently no more a fox than
it is dog or raccoon.
1t has now been admitted to the
great assembly of classified animals
uuder the name of Nyctereutes albus
or the white-raccoon dog. 1t is not
often one gets an opportunity of gaz-
ing upon brand-new animal never
before known to scientific BIOLOGISTS.
Another very rare animal-so far
as the writer knows, the first animal
of its kind ever seen on this side of
the AtIantic-the so-called Tasmani-
an wolf, zebra wolf, or pouched dog,
Thalaciuus cynocephalus, is to be seen
at New York Geological Park. AL
though not new to science it is in
some respects a more intetesting ami
NAL than the white raccoon dog. The
"Tasmanian wolf" so far from being
a wolf, does not belong to the dog
family. 1t is. in fact, a rnarsupial,
and is more nearly akin to certain of
the kanagroos, than it is to the Can
idae. The female, indeed, has we'll
developed pouch, though the marsu-
pial bones are wanting, being replaced
by cartilages. The animal walks
upon its toes and partly upon half its
soles or palms, as may be seen more
evidently in the hind feet this causes
the body to be brought much nearer
to the ground in running than is the
case with wolf or dog, and consti-
tutes the Tasmanian wolf a semi
plantigrade. The lower canine teeth
in dogs pass on the outer sides of the
upper ones when the mouth is closed,
while the larger recurved CANNES of
the Tasmanian wolf in the upper jaw
are separated from the incisors by a
space into which the points of the
lower CANNES fit when the jaw is shut.
The animal has the peculiar lower
jaw of the marsupials-the angle is
infected it is, in fact, a marsupial
with structural parts foreshadowing
those of the more highly developed
dog. Such an animal as this tran
sports us back tothose primeval times
when animals far more generalized
than those that now exist united in
themselves diverse characteristics and
specific features never, in our day,
(save in few such instances as the
Tasmanian wolff, found in any one
individual or in any one species.-/.

GOOD INDEX TO CHARACTER.

Anthropologists say that the ability
to laugh comes to the child as grows
older. The first smile is observed
when the child is about forty to sixty
days old, but is does not begin to
laugh until some time after that.
Children and women laugh more
than men, not because the cares of
life lie less heavily upon them, but
because the former are more excitable
and because the moderating power OF
the cerebal hemisphere is lessin them
than among men generally.
Profound study makes men serious.
and so foolish people are sometimes
noted for laughing immoderately.
Yet laughter is not so much an index
to intelligence as it is to the condition
of health. Healthy, vigorous people
are proverbially of good humored, joy
Gus, laughing natures, while the sal
low gloomy-eged dyspeptic" is de-
scription scientifically accurate.
The envious, wicked and malevo.
lent rarely laugh, because, phrenol-
logists say, they are impregnated with
bile and are, therefore, morose. The
naughty, the vain and the awkward
also laugh very little for fear of losing
their dignity. The Spanish people,
proverbially grave, are good ex.
ample.
People who have lines extending
downward from the angle at the mouth
toward the chin we'll marked rarely
laugh, and, moreover, show a ten.
dency to pensiveness in youth and
melancholy in after life.
Those who have lines raging out
ward from the eyes are, on the con
trary, people who laugh'a a good deal
especially when the upper lip is fram.
ed by two deep furrows running dowr
in the mouth.
