LION KILLER SEL0US CITES
DANGERS FACING PRESIDENT
Points Out Some Of the Terrible Perlls
with Which Roosevelt Must
Contend in Darkest
Africa

LONDON, Dec. 26.-Selous, the lion
killer, explains that, while he has col
lected camp and other equipment for
President Roosevelt's hunting expedi-
ton and will go with him to Mombassa,
they will not shoot together in east
Africa and Uganda.
Mr.. Selous points out some OF the
dangers the president will face in
hunting. Says he:
you go out on horseback early in
the morning on a high plateau in the
hope of catching a lion which has de-
layed too long feeding and canot get
back to cover, When you are overtak-
ing the beast he generally comes to a
halt, growing.
"At the first moment you slip off
your horse and shoot him.
Sometimes the lion will charge at
you. If he does, you gallop out of the
way and wait for another opportunity.
If he charges while you are off your
horse, and y-u fail to hit him, it may
be awkward.
when you wound an elephant it
often will make a savage rush at you.
While you are shooting one of a herd,
too, you may not notice another among
the trees, which may make a sudden
dash.'

story of humanity's failings. Proper

Slocum; decent observance of the
law would have saved thousands in
the Iroquois theater fire and the Col
linwood school fire. regard for well
known laws Of sanitation would have
prevented the plague OF fever that
devastated the south years ago, and
would save hundreds of. lives an
nually. Yet We have buildings i'm
equipped with fire escapes,
and dwell in unsanitary surround
ings, with dirty alleys. lack of sewer
and broken hydrants
