as a panther is called tiger In sope
parts of the United States. The
striped animal which is zoologically
known as a tiger (tigris regalis) and
which is the animal referred to in a
number of recent stores, does not
make its habitat in Africa, as the
writers seem to think. So when a
traveller speaks of lions, leopards and
tigers seizing passengers from trains
he is generally writing at long range
with a misinformed imagination in
stead of facts. He makes a double
mistake If he speaks of tigers and
leopards" in referring to African fauna,
as in Africa they mean the same ami
NAL. have never heard an English
man or Boer when speaking English

The most dangerous hunting occurs
when one attempts to capture his ami

and timid under ordinary circum-

outfit and cure and preserve his game
Immediately after it is shot.
AS soon as lion or leopard is killed
the skin must be removed, cleaned,
and treated with taxidermic prepa-
ration of alum. Then to protect it
from beetles, it must be soaked in
turpentine and put in charge of ma
tive runner, who takes it to the near
est post for preservation. Often when
a skin arrives at its destination the
numerous insects that infest the coun.
try have eaten it full of holes and it is
absolutely worthless.
Speaking of carnivora and the other
fauna of Africa, let me say for the
benefit of the American writer's, lee
turers and artists who wish to pre-
tend to knowledge of African ami
NAL life that there are no yaks, alli-
gators kangaroors, turkeys, bears or
tigers in Africa outside of a circus or
a geological garden. There are two
species of rhinoceros, the bicornis or
prehensi!e-lipped, and the sinus or
square-mouthed rhino. The latter, al
though almost as black as its rela-
tive, is called the white rhinoceros on
account of blue slaty tinge in its
skin. To be exact, there is no such
thing as white rhinoceros. Both
have two horns. The Asiatic rhi-
noceros has but one. Crocidiles and
alligators differ greatly in appear
ance. and the latter do not live in At
rica. The Asiatic elephant is also
different in appearance from its AT
rican relative.

was commissioned by German
naturalist society to capture one OF
each species of African quadrumana.
A German professor accompanied me
on my expedition, which set forth in
a direct line west from Oar es Salaam.
We succeeded in getting some of each
species, with the exception of the 60
rilla. For weeks we wandered about
the country. 1t was in the rainy sea-
son, and the weld, which under ordi-
nary circumstances afforded excellent
travelling, became swamp. With our
long line of native porters we literally
waded our way over the country for
weeks, the black, oozy slush soaking
into our bones and the clay under
foot gripping like glue.
Such was the predicament we were
in; the spirit of revolt and desertion
had seized the caravan. l called the
men together and told them we were
going into the Congo forests where
there was no doubt about capturing a
gorilla. A smile of satisfaction swept
over the natives faces. and at sunrise
we started for three months tramp
to the west of the Tanganyika.
Arriving at Belgian army post, a
pigmy prisoner told us where we
could find a gorilla, and an hours
travel from the post brought us to the
place where the animal made it's
home. 1t was an ideal retreat, rank
with rotting vegetation, the accumula-
tions of centuries, reaching up to our
knees. Snakes glided, Kissing, out of
the way and lizards, green, blue and
every color of the spectrum, bolted in
fear to the tree tops and blinked at
us with their little, glistening eyes
from safe perches among the limbs.

swinging from tree to tree for such
distances that they seemed to fly.

The Enormous Cost CT Hunting.
The cost of hunting big game in
Africa is enormous. One must spend
a fortune before firing the first shot.
The various European colonies pro
tect" their game by charging so
pounds sterling ($250) a year for a IL
cense which allows the hunter to kill
two each of the pachydermata and
from two to ten of the various species
of antelopes. This does not protect
the game, but it fills the local treas
uries. Added to this is the price for
porters, shikarees. headmen, ETC., who
have to accompany the hunter. The
average expedition is made up of from
80 to 35 natives fer each white
man. The cost of eQuipping and
maintaining an expedition is from
s400 to $500 a month for each white
hunter according to the district
hunted in. One well-known concern
with headquarters at Nairobi, that
makes a business of hunting and ex-
pedition managing, equips and main

excepting arms and liquor.
No Tigers in Africa.
OF course when Mr.. Roosevelt
