men that have crossed Africa sew
eral times and have explored East
Africa. All agree to the fact that no.
body under normal conditions can be
spared from the fever.
Malarial fever is one sad certainty
which very African traveller must
face. For six, seven or even eight
will surely fall upon him. 1t is pre-
coded for some time, even for three
or four weeks, by unaccountable ir-
ritability. depression and weakness.
On the march with his men. he has
scarcely started when he signs for
the MONDAY rest. Putting it down to
mere laziness, he goads himself on by
draughts from his water bottle and
totters forward a mile or two more.
Next. in the full excitement Of an
interesting hunt he breaks down, andn
fails to shoot the splendid antelope
he had at short range; then he finds
himself skulking into the forest on the
pretext of looking at a specimen, and
when his porters and his companions
are out of sight throws himself under
a tree, in utter limpness and despair.
Reused by mere shame he staggers
along the trail, and as he nears the
midday camp he puts on a purt to
conceal his defeat, which finishes him
for the rest of the day. This goes on
till the crash comes-first cold and
pain, the heat and pain, then every
kind of pain, then every degree OF
heat. then delirium, then the life and
death struggle. He rises If he does
rise, a shadow, and slowly accumu-
lates strength for the next attack
which he knows too we'll. will not dis
appoint him.

and always between twenty-three and
thirty-five years of age.
The English government, the Congo
Free State. the German government,
with the exception Of some officers of
higher rank, do not send out into the
African service any but men over
twenty-three and under thirty-fve
years of age. These employees are
ordered not to expose themselves to
the dangers of hunting.
The most redoubtable dangers are
not the ones due directly to hunting.
1t is not the assault of a wounded
lion, nor the destructive rush of the
rhinocerous or the elephant, not the
attack of the hippopotamus. Neither
are the fangs of the crocodile to be
feared. No, all these dangers, more
or less exaggerated by African trav-
elers are avoidable and become al
most nothing by the skill and cold
blood of the brave hunter. Theodore
Roosevelt is all of this. No, the real
the terrible, the unavoidable danger
is the African fever. Very few white
people can say that they have visited
the center of Africa without having
fallen i'll of this terrible disease.
Among thousands Of explorers and
hunters hardly any have been spared
/ from it. and these for some special
reasons or for an extraordinary physi-
cal constitution. DR.. Henry Drum

Frankly up to a few days ago. l did

came the published route of the voy-

the exclusive right to publish the adj
ventures of the president. l began to

went to see the publishers.
Yes. was told that the president
had been considering the trip for some
time, that he had consulted more than
one great African hunter on the sub
ject, and had fully made up his mind
Whoever adviser him to go is sending
the president to almost certain death
not from the wild beasts of the jun
gle. but from disease.
II it be true that he refused to be a
candidate for a presidential term be-
cause Mrs. Roosevelt was afraid of al
attempt on his life, l do not under

nocerouses, hippopotami and ante

of dying there.

that Africa is the grave of the white
