and south Of the Sahara desert, be,
tween the east and west coasts, says
Hampton's Magazine. The best re-
suits are obtained in the unhealthy
marsh districts Of Mozambique, the
Portuguese colony in East Africa. A
large part OF the game is captured
in the lakes district and around the
headwaters Of the Nile. Most of the
antelopes are captured in the country
lying between the east coast and Lake
Tanganyika.
The prices OF all wild animals nat
urally fuctuate with the demand. An
excessive supply Of rhinoceri would
soon reduce the market value. Five
for sale at any time in the world glut
the market, for one cannot sell a rhi-
noceros every day. The maintenance
Of wild animals is costly, and they
soon eat their value in food, so that
every day they are on the hunters
or the dealers hands he is losing
money.
After the animals are captured they
have to be transported to the coast.
This adds greatly to their cost. Deliv-

size and condition. The gorilla and
square-muzzled Cor so-called white)
rhinoceros can be sold at auction by
telegraph. Their value might run
from 1 1000 to $4,000, according to
the bidding. The square~muzzled rhi-
noceros is fast becoming exterminated,
owing to the fact that 1t is a veldt
animal and feeds in the open where it
Is easily seen and shot.
The above prices are doubled by the
time the animals reach the coast. Then
there Is the cost Of transport from
Africa to Antwerp. Hamburg or Lon

added as we'll as the additional ex-
pense Of keeping the animals until a
buyer appears on the scene.
Prices in New York. OF course. are
