LOADING FREIGHT CAPE TO CAIRO ROAD NORTHERN RoDEsIA

Each tabloid is as hard as a stone until
 the water touches it, when it dissolves
 to a powder and gives forth a delicious
 aroma. The pills are put up in tin boxes,
 and they are so small. that you can carry
 enough for a hundred cups in your
 pocket. A little box of short sweetening
 goes with them. This is composed of
 saxin, a material which is 600 times
 sweeter than sugar. It is compressed into
 pills as big as the head of a pin and
 single pinhead pill will sweeten a cup.
 Fighting the White Ants.
 All the way from here to the Zambesi river the telegraph poles and the railroad ties are of steel. The ties are a hollow steel shell about seven feet long with clamps into which the rails are fitted. In i order to show just how they look l had a native stand tie upon end and photo graphed it. The man is fully six feet in
 height and the tie reaches more than q foot above him. All of the railroad sta tions are made of galvanized iron, and in the huts here at Broken Hill almost no
 wood is used. This is necessary on ac-
 count of the white ants which infest the regions north of the Zambesi. They live
 upon wood and they burrow into the rail-
 road ties and eat away until nothing but a shell is left When wooden telegraph poles are erected they chew them to pieces so that the wires fall to the ground , White ants are to be found all over Central Africa. l have seen tens of ! thousands of their hills during this trip. Sometimes their mouilds will be twenty feet high and at others they do not reach
 the height of your waist. They so about as far below the ground as above 1t, and each hill is divided up into little rooms 1 much like a flat building. The ants have ! their soldiers and guards. They have | their workers and drones. and there is 1 big queen who looks for all the world like a white worm of the size and shape of l small Frankfurter sausage, and who lays all the eggs. I was offered one of these 1 queens as present during my stay in l Uganda It had been caught by an En- i glish army officer and pickled in alcohol. i I feared, however, that the bottle might
 break and had to refuse.

Washington, Nov. l0.-The
names of six government depositor-
les which are to handle the receipts
of the United States Forest Service,
after December /, when its organi-
zat:on for the administration of
The National Forests will be re-
moved from Washington to SIX
field districts in the west, have
Just been announced.
The designation of western banks
to handle the moneys received from
timber sales, permits for stock
grazing and for special uses of
various resources in the National
Forests is an innovation which will
mean that all the receipts of the
Forest Serylce in the future will
be deposited to the credit of the
Treasurer of the United States and
made available for circulation in
he part of the country from which
it is derived, within the limits of
the amounts allowed by law for
government deposits, instead of
being forwarded to the Treasurer at
Washington. The banks which
have been named and which have
all consented to serve the govern
ment are located in the district
headquarters of the Forest Service
at Denver, Ogden, Albuquerque.

repositories will receive all re.
mlttances due the government for
use of the national forests after
December |, and deposit them to
the credit of the treasurer Of the
United States. According to the
plan which has been approved by
the officials of thu United States
treasury, the forest service and
the officers of the various depositor-
les, when timber sale, stock
grazing, or special use application
is made, the forest supervisor will
fill out a letter of transmittal IN
duplicate and tell the applicant to
remit the amount directly to the
national bank which Is the deposi-
tory for the district. Remittances
will be in the form of national
bank draft, express or post office
money order, and will be payable
to the bank, since forest supervisors
are not allowed to receive money.
The letter of transmittal is virtually
a deposit slip to accompany the
remittance. The duplicate copy
goes to the district fiscal agent.
All rcmittances will be assembled
and checked up at the end of each
dav, a single certificate of deposit
made out by the bank and mailed
to the Secretary of the treasury.
This simple plan which has required
months for the treasury officials
and officers Of the forest service
to perfect, is one which will expedite
business both for the users of the
national forest and for the force

er, and at the same time Will make
