but If SO this has long since been eaten
up by hippOpotami.
The trip to Livingstone Island Is So dan
gerous that 1t should only be made when
the river is low. 1t is now much too high
for safety, and had l been aware of the
danger I should not have thought of
making the trip. AS it was, We several
times narrowly escaped going over the
falls, and upon our return the negro boys
vino padded Us had to get out and lift
the canoe through certain Of the shallow
rapids to keep us out Of the current. AS
it is. I esteem the excursion one Of the
greatest experiences of my life. / am,
however much like the proud Texas
father who was strutting along the street
the morning after his eleventh baby was
born. He acted as though he owned the
earth and when asked what he thought Of
the new arrival. replied:
We'll, 1 would not take thousand
dollars for this one, but l would not give
a nickel for another"
The Upper Zambesi.
The Zambesi above the falls is two miles
wide. 1t is full of green islands which
are covered with a dense growth Of papy-
rus and small trees. The banks are low
and we saw the spoor of many hippopo-
tamf as we made our way up the river.
We did not attempt to cross until we were
perhaps mile above the falls. and We
rode IN our canoe far out into the stream
before we attempted to steer ourselves
down to the island. When we started
the water was quiet. The current was
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1908-08-16

swift. however. and the vapor OF the falls
could be seen rising in clouds. We had
four canoe men. half naked blacks with
bracelets on their arms and bands OF
brass wire tied about their legs between
the knee and the calf. AS We made our
way on into the stream. We could see
little droyes of hippOpotami swimming
about. They looked much like the rocks.
and it was not until they raised up their
black heads that we knew what they
were. Our boatmen were afraid OF them
and we padded of to one side. We went
by one beast which threw its head high
into the air. and opened its mouth al
most in our faces. 1t looked as though
a side Of beef had been split apart and
opened in two halves. The teeth were as
big around as my wrist. and L could see
the great white tusks Embedded in the red
jaws.
When we reached the middle OF the
river the canoemen stopped padding and
began to steer. Our speed increased as
we went down and We had great trouble
making our way through the rocks. We
soon came into the line Of the spray. 1t
fell down like rain. The thunder OF the
waters was now SO great that we had to
yell to make ourselves heard, and at
times we seemed to be rushing right into
the DEVILS Cascade. After number OF
narrow escapes We fought Our way out
of the current and came to the black
rocks of Livingstone Island. Here We
fastened the boat and waded through the
woods and across the pools to the knife
edge of rock over which the Zambesi
pours in its mighty cataract.

tracks in which hippopotami had Travelled

Notwithstanding all this. the Zambesi
Falls may be seen with almost as many
comforts as Niagara. There are now
trains de luxe. with dining cars. observa-
tion cars and bathing accommodations,
which bring one from Cape Town or

it is built Of galvanized iron. is, almost

My apartment is lighted by electricity
and is cooled by an electric fan. The

rising, and an afternoon tea. Our table

gowns
On the Zambesi Bridge.
But come with me and take a look at
the falls. We shall first stroll down to
the Zambesi bridge which crosses the
gorge through which the mighty river
flows after it leaves the falls. You have
probably heard of this bridge. 1t Is the
highest in the world and one Of the big
gest. 1t was made in England, and
brought out here in sections and put to-
gether 1t is 400 feet above the water,
and it jumps from rock to rock in a span
Of $50 feet The spray falls upon the
cars Of the Cape to Cairo railroad as they
pass over it.: and travellers will have a
glimpse OF the falls as they go by.
Standing upon this bridge a great tower
or mass Of green rock rises before US.
1t bsects. as it were. the narrow gorge.
and the whole flood Of the Zambesi boils
and seethes below. The waters are yell
low, and they look like a vat Of steaming
moiasses. Opposite the tower Is q mass
OF green far down in a second gorge. 1t
is made up Of palms and other trees. 1t
is known as the palm kloof. and is
great botanical garden kept only by ma
ture, and infested with monkeys and
balloons. 1t contains date trees. tree
ferns. baobabs and jungle of smaller
trees.
Leaving the bridge. we take our first
view Of the cataract from its eastern
end. The way is along green paths, under
green trees. where the ground is 50 level
that we cannot see the falls until we are
close to them. The great river bursts
upon us all at once. 1t is dashins over
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1908-08-16

1900 feet in their course Of 500 miles be-
fore they make their mighty drop into
this basaltic gorge.
The falls of the Zambesi are twice as
broad and more than twice as high as
Niagara. The river is two miles wide
above the falls. and 1t narrows to a mile
where i; plunges straight down over the
cliffs into gorge which Is more than
400 feet deep. l heard the thunder of its
waters when l was more than ten miles
distant. and the spray. which rises up in
five great columns. can be seen fifty miles
away The natives call the falls "Thun-
dering Smoke, and they are said to wor-
ship them.
AS to the electric force which may be
generated. it is said to be greater than
that of Niagara. but 1 will write Of that
in the future.
In the Heart Of the Wilderness.
OF these two mighty wonders OF nature.
that of the Zambesi has by far the best
natural setting. Niagara has been de-
stroyed by commercialism. One goes
along its gorge in an electric trolley; upon
landing he is fought for by guides and
hotel keepers. and the peddler and fee
hunter tag al his heels. The manufacture
ing cities OF Buffalo and Toronto foul the
air with their smoke. and the factories
which use the power turn the sublime
into the sordid.
Victoria Falls is in the heart of a will
derneSs. 1t Is surrounded Dy Forest
filled with monkeys. balloons, antelopes
and other wild game. There are birds
of strange plumage IN the trees and the
great river itself has many hippopotami.
Standing here upon the porch of the Vic
toria Hotel one looks for miles over a
land densely wooded. With a powerful
glass you can see nothing but this vast
expanse Of green, broken only by the
windings of the gorge at your feet, and
by the pillars Of mist which rise like the
vapor from five volcanoes until lost in
the low-hanginS clouds. The only settle
ments near the falls are Livingstone,
which is seven miles OF. and the group
of iron bungalows which comprise the
hotel. the railroad station and the post
Office. Everything is in harmony with the
surroundings, and it is the intention of the
people to keep it so.
All the land within a radius Of five
miles Of the falls has been set aside as a
public park, which is to be left as nature
made it. Outside that radius is another
of fifteen miles on one side the river.
and on the other a block Of forest nifty
miles square, which will prevent farms
Or. buildings of any kind marring the
falls. In these woods no shooting is
allowed. I have met droves OF monkeys
as I wandered from fall to fall, and at
