A Railroad and Telegraph Centre.
Natrobi promises to become one o
the railroad centres OF this part OF
the world. 1t is the chief station be-
tween the Indian Ocean and Lake Vic
here to Mount Kenia. BY and by that
may connect with the German road
from Taugn to KilnanJars.
Away out here In the wilds OF Africa
one can send messages far more cheap
tly than In the United States. ! cnn
send eight words from here to Uganda
for 33 cents, and can telegraph to Lon
don about as cheaply as you can tele-
graph from New York TO San Fran
cisco. This is so notwithstanding the
difficulty which the linemen have TO
ready told you how the natives steal
the wire from the poles and make
bracelets, nnklets and earrings OF lit.
They can use 1t for trading. and In,
some districts It will pass as money.
During the Nandl rebellion, forty-oddd
miles or wire were carried away and.
never recovered. and In one OF the
provinces adjoining Uganda, above
Lake Victoria, the natives are so crazy
after the copper wire there used that
1t is almost Impossible to keep the
lines up.
Another serious danger to the tele.
graph Is the big game. The CRATES

siderable damage to the lines nlongsthe
coast near the, Tnna River. InS8the
heart Of Uganda the monkeys have a
way OF swinging on the wires and
twisting them toge Their. which stopssthe
transmission OF many messages, so
that, indeed, the way Of the lineman Is
hard. FRANK G. CARPENTER.

The chief ways of getting about are
on foot, on horseback or in jinrikshas,
the latter being by far the most popu-
lar. The jnrikshas are much like those
used in Japan, save that they are
larger and wider. / am told they are
made in America. They are pushed and
pulled by black Africans, two to each
vehicle. One man goes in the shafts
and the other pushes behind. They are
clad in single cotton cloth which
flaps back and forth as they run, ex-
posing their nakcdness. The streets
are unpaved and they are; frequently

eucalyptus trees have been planted.
