this was done by New York newspaper
men for Photographic purposes, but the

Richard Rathbun, the acting secretary
of the institution. and Chief Curator
Ravanel were present at the arrival, and
Mr.. Rathbun declared that in view 90 the
deception practiced in New York ne
would allow no photographs to be taken
of the collection. In fact, he said ne
had consulted lawyer and was prepared
to have any one prosecuted who attempt
ed to make photograph.
He ordered the collection at once placed
in the storeroom of the taxidermist 8
shop, but decided after the offending I'M
talS had been turned to the wall that
they might as well be photographed again
if any one wanted to do it. AS the most
of the newspaper photographers had al
ready taken pictures at the freight yard
the offer was not generally accepted.
There were twenty casks and SIX
packing cases that contained the skins
of eighty-two big animals and scores
of rats, moles, rabbits and smaller
animals that had fallen victims to the
gun and traps of Maj. Mearns, the head
of the Smithsonian forces with the expe-
dition. The barrels and cases did not

aggregation that might be parked In
front Of wholesale grocery store or
down at the fish wharf, but they were
priceless as jewels and precious stones
of smaller dimensions, of course, in the
eyes Of the Smithsonian officials.
And there jill another thing that does
not want to be overlooked by the read
ing public. That is that the trophies
are really from the Smithsonian expedi-
ton in Africa, and not a Roosevelt col
lection. with d big R The former
President of the United States is work
ing for the Smithsonian as much as
any of the messengers and doorkeepers.
He said so himself before he left this
country. OF course, he is doing a little
different class of work, and he Is hav-
ing "a bully time doing it, according
to his own letter to Secretary Walcott,
but it is really a Smithsonian expedition
that is in the field, though the public
will probably insist on calling it a Roose-
welt expedition, just the same.
Take Months to Mount Them.
The casks and cases were all duly
photographed and then they were moved
indoors, where the work of unpacking
them and taking the skins out Of brine
and drying them will be commenced at
once. It will take months before any Of
the specimens are III shape for exhibit
ton. In fact, Mr.. Roosevelt himself
may be back in this country in time to
see the first lion placed on exhibition,
but the skins will be inspected and
cured at once to prevent any accident
occurring to them.
