CLOUDY but extremely suitry weather
prevailed yesterday and the boys in their

certainly suffered some. Part OF the
practice work was having everybody fern

arena and keeping six balls passing
around the circle in rapid motion for
half an hour This was sweaty propo-

the arms. They were all fairly tagged out

Troubles Begin When He Has to Get
Ivory Out of the Jungle.
First catch your ivory, then get it
home-if you can. A mans troubles
have barely begun when the tusks of
the fallen monsters are chopped out
wrapped in sacking and taken back to
camp. Each weighs so or even 100
pounds. I have seen specimens that
are on record as tipping the scales at
25O pounds. Suppose I have got to-
gether 100000 worth of fine ivory. 1
am perhaps a thousand miles from
anywhere with this load of $4,000 or
10000 pounds. There are no railroads,
no wheeled vehicles, even no draft ami
mails. The stuff must be carried across
the wilds Of Africa on the backs of ma
tive porters, who think nothing Of drop
ping their loads and DESERVING if the
fancy happens to seize them. The
worst of the hunting is nothing to
what such homeward march may
mean. l have had my men shot down
by hostile tribes from ambush with
poisoned arrows. have seen them die
in agony from the bites of noxious in"
sects. I have been attacked by bands
of Dinkas, who knew the value of
ivory as well as did and who tried to
help themselves to mine.-Everybody's

SHOOTING The SUN.
Simplest Way Of Locating a Ships
Position at Sea.


Position at Sea.
The average transatlantic traveller
displays very little interest In the nav
igation of the vessel beyond watching
the ships officers, sextant in hand,
making observations, says a writer in
Travel Magazine. Very few have any
idea Of the process by means of which
the modern navigator is enabled to ac-
curately place the ships position at
stated time on, the chart. Out Of
sight Of land a. ships geographical po-
sition is determined either by keeping
careful record of the course steered
and the distance run, known as dead
reckoning, or by the combined use of
chronometer and sextant-that is, by
observation Of the heavenly bodies.
The operation of finding the latitude
and longitude Of observation can be
performed in number of ways, Of
which the simplest and most conFen.
lent Is by measuring the altitude of the
sun above the horizon at noon, as is
indicated on the vernier Of the sextant
and spoken OF at sea as shooting the
SUM-" An arithmetical computation by
the aid of Iogarithms is thus quickly
made which shows exactly how far
! the ship is north or south of the equa.
tor, or, in other words, the latitude.
Finding the longitude, however, is q
somewhat longer process. An observa
ton is made either in the forenoon OF
afternoon, the chronometer time of the
horizon contact of the suns image be
ing noted. A calculation is then made
which gives the exact time at the spot
where the ship happens to be, and, al
the chronometer carried aboard shows
the exact time at Greenwich, the prime
meridian of longitude, the difference
between the two expresses in hour!
and minutes easily convertible int
degrees and niles the distance cas-
or west Of Greenwich.
Having thus, roughly speaking, fount
the latitude and longitude, a dot PLACED
on the chart at the exact point wher'
the lines Of latitude and longitud,
cross denotes the ships position.
