STRANGE VIANDs FOR
AFRlcA's HUNTsMEN

When President Roosevelt goes to
the interior of Africa he will partake
of some queer dishes. He will eat
parrot soup, roasted or stewed mon
keys, alligator eggs and peanut bread.
One of the greatest delicacies which
will be offered him will be elephants
feet and trunk, which resemble some
what the taste of veal. To prepare
them the native cooks dig a hole about
five feet deep in the sand and build
in it a large fire. After the sand is
thoroughly heated the fire is removed.
leaving only the ashes. They then
place the trunk and feet in the hole,
covering them with leaves, and after
ward hot sand. There they remain for
about two hours, when they are con-
sidered DONE
One of the favorite dishes is N'gut
ti-N'sengo. 1t consists of egg plant.
small fish (somewhat like sardines)
and the roots of the cassava or mani
oca plant. AS the manioca contains
poison it is soaked in water for three
or four days before using. 1t is then
sliced, seasoned with salt and pepper
and boiled.
Moambo, or, as Europeans call it,
palm chops, is also a well-liked dish.
Palm nuts are HfSI Dolleu III water
until the pulpy substance looSens from
the pit. Then the shell, which con-
tains a delicious oil, is placed in
wooden mortar and crushed and the
oil extracted. Then whatever the meal
consists of-meat, fish or mussels, as
the case may be, all is placed in
vessel, adding the oil and the pulpy
part of the palm nut. red pepper and
salt, and boiled.
The African bananas are the largest
grown, some of them weighing half
pound each and measuring fifteen
inches in length.
The "staff Of life' for the natives of
Central Africa is peanut bread. The
peanuts first are roasted, then crushed.
This mass then is rolled and put into
the skin of a banana to retain its
shape
Another favorite dish is hippopota-
mus tongue, which is said to possess
a delightful flavor and is considered
a great delicacy by the natives, as
only in parts of Africa are the "hippos"
plentiful.

ATHLETES LEARN TO DANCE
Football Players Say Waiting Ina
proves Their Agility

English athletes have discovered a
new method of training. 1t is without
doubt one which will meet with APP
proval from the co-eds, too. The fol-
lowing from an English paper tells
the story;
zone of the features of the dancing
season just commencing is that athletes
are learning to gain quickness and
strength "A well known footballer,
said a popular instructor, is learning
dancing because he knows from the
experience of a colleague that it will
give him an added lightness and agility.
The waltz produces an unexpected
power of balance; the various move
ments of the dancers give precision
and certitude of movement of the
greatest value to a footballer. Among
other athletes who come to me are
some racing cyclists. Thew find that
the ankle is made lissom by dancing,
and are delighted with the result. 1t is
going to be a great winter for dane
ing added the instructor. Hundreds
are joining the classes daily. Among
my latest arrivals are two we'll known
artists, who though accomplished
stage step dancers know nothing of

THE CIRCUS CLOWN

The clown at the circus he made us all
laugh,
The way he performed! I can't tell you
half
or his jokes and his antics-to just see him
smile
Was enough to make any one gay for
while!
His clothes were so funny half yellow, half
red,
With little green hat on the side of his
head;
While capering after him all round the ring
Ran a little pet pony, the prettiest thing!
If l hadn't determined a sailor to be,
On a three -masted vessel, a-roaming the sea,
I'd almost be tempted to take up the trade
OF being a clown in circus parade!

surrounding the tree was surrounded
by a curbstone and on this an iron
fence has been erected to prevent per-

condition, but it has suffered and Is

Each year Americans realize more
and more that they have many inter-
esting relies and sights in their own
country. Formerly the citizen of our
land who wished to travel Immediately
started across the ocean in search of
remarkable ruins, high mountains or
some other natural or ancient curiosity
When these people commenced their
European travels they came in con
tact with educated foreigners who had
heard much of our own country and
put intelligent questions about the re-
sources of America which very often
proved embarrassing to the traveller
He was so often forced to confess that
he knew little or nothing about MS
own land thsst he finally tired of the
experience and has now decided that
the first thing a man must do is to
become familiar with the great cities.
great mountain systems and other
scenic features of America before
spending money and time for trans
oceanic trips.
With the inclination to find inter-
esting things in this country came a
very natural desire to preserve the
relics of historic events which we now
possess. Among the most interesting
of all these are the two trees which are
pictured herewith.
There are many Junior readers who
have never been across the Rockies,
and many others whose earlier homes
were in the great middle west, and
they have probably not seen these old
trees But there are, no doubt, some
children who have lived in or near
Cambridge, Mass, where the Washlng-
ton elm is one of its prondest possess
sions Others may have been born in
old Virginia and they have certainly
heard of the beautiful oak tree where
the first emancipated negro children
commenced their education.
This wonderful old elm is supposed
to be about 200 years old Even In l744
it was a good sized tree, for when
George Whitfield was excluded from the
towns and colleges of New England in
that year he is said to have preached
under it's sheltering branches. 1t was
under this elm that Washington first
took command of the American army,
July 8. l775, and it is from this event
that the tree gets the name of the
Washington elm. The tree is-the Ameri-
can or white elm (Ulmus Americana)
and is Al feet high and IA feet inches
in circumference measured feet from

In danger of dying, but has been sue
cessfully doctored. In regard to the
treatment pursued to save its life here
is a letter from Prof c. S. Sargent of
the Arnold arboretum:
"I have been consulted at various
times during the last few years about
the Washington elm in Cambridge.

When I first looked at it a large cavity
caused originally by the breaking off
of branch had been covered up with
sheet of zinc. This I had removed,
as well as all the decayed wood in the
cavity, amounting to several bushels,
and the face of the cavity carefully
painted with coal tar.
This cavity is now kept open and
repainted every year or two. Dead
branches were then cut back and all
exposed surfaces painted with coal
tar. 1 found the ground Immediately
about the tree trodden down solid by
visitors. The soil was loosened and

children of the emancipated blacks
was taught by an educated member of
their own race-Mrs. Mary Peake.
Later a large school house was built
for them near the oak, by command
of Gen. Butler, and named for him,
the Butler school. This was the nu-
cleus of the Whittier school of today.
The tree is now in perfect condition,
and no particular care has been neces-
sary to preserve it. This is probably
due in part to the fact that the tree
stands in the middle of cultivated
field and the tilling of the field has
in itself preserved the tree
The oak is now about forty-five feet
high and the spread of the branches
is sixty-five feet. The base is twelve
feet in circumference. 1t is the COM
mon live oak (Quercus virens) of the
southern states Old Point Comfort
is said to be the northern limit of this
species.
Miss Emily K. Heron of the Hamp-
ton institute furnished much of the
foregoing information and the photo
graph of the emancipation oak.

John McGreevy, who contested the

Rafael December s, 1895, by Justice OF
the Peace Roden. who had since died.
McGreevy. while denying this. admitted
that he had lived with the woman from
that date until August, 1907 that they
had stood before the world as husband
and wife, and that she had borne chill

then left his wife and married Char

have been a witness of the San Rafael
marriage. This Charlotte Pinner de-

Clara McGreevy's testimony to be ab-

the Judge, "at this late day to cast out
into the world penniless his wife, who

wrong he seeks by his attempted re-
pudiation of his marriage vows, to in
fiict on the wife of his bosom and for
the reflection that he endeavors to cast
upon the deceased children of his
loirfS.''
In granting the divorce Judge Ora

decides that a marriage without Ii

he says, solemnized when, in the pres

RULING AFFECTS
ALL STATE CITIES
Superme Court Decides San
Diego Auditor Must Raise
Money-on Bonds
Tribunal Says Whole Issue Not
lnvalidated by Separate
Illegal Items

decision OF deep interest to munich
palities throughout the state in Its
bearing on the validity of city bond
issues was handed down by the su-
preme court yesterday. when the court
decided in a case brought by the city
council of San Diego against Auditor
Daniel Potter that Potter must take
steps to raise funds on series OF
bonds for street improvements voted
by the citizens.
The point brought out by the court
in its decision was that the legality
of whole bond issue, where several
items of revenue had been voted on
separately by the people. could not be
held In question simply because one OF
the bond items submitted to the voters
had happened to be illegal Many nne
techntcalities were involved and the
ruling establishes a far reaching prece-
dent in such cases.
Desiring to raise money for civic i'm
provements the city council of San
Diego called a bond election more than
year ago, at which II different items
were submitted for the approval of the
citizens. In two of them $4,000 was
to be raised for constructing boulevards
and roads. and a third, which failed to
pass, provided $4,000 for public lava
tories. Each proposition, however, was
voted on separately.
But when the bonds were turned over
to Auditor Potter he refused to take
action to bring about their sale, on
the ground that the three items men,
toned were Illegal. in the first place,
and disqualified the whole election
Potter contended that under a state
law passed in 1889 and another passed
In 1901 cities were expressly prohib-
tied from issuing bonds for purposes
where ordinary revenues could not be
rightfully spent. According to the au-
ditor this had been done with the bonds
in question, by which the city was not
only to build the roads, but was also
to buy land on which to construct
them-a stretching of authority.
Potter moreover declared that the
third proposition, that of the lava
tories, was entirely unauthorized by
law, and in itself was enough to In
validate the entire election.
In its decision the supreme court
held that Potter was wrong on every
point and in addition declared the
broad ruling that no matter if a bond
item was illegal, the mere fact of it's
having been submitted and not carried
could not in any way effect the cleo
tion.
After holding that the charter Of San
Diego gave the council authority to
buy land on which to cons truct roads,
If necessary. the court said, in part:
We can not see that the fact that a
proposition submitted for an indebted
ness which the city has no power to
incur affects the question. Although
unauthorized it Is. nevertheless, a
proposition the submission of which is
not prohibited by tile prohibitory clause
relied on Therefore, its submission
does not invahdate the election as to
the remaining authorized proposi-
tions."
