A HUNTING TRIP TO AFRICA.
Terse Comments upon the Christian
Endeavor Topic for April rs, "Heroes
Of African Missions" Jer. 1: 6-12.
BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS.

Mr.. Roosevelt's visit to Africa is
filling the newspapers and magazines
with articles upon this dark, mys-
FERROUS and alluring continent. An UNI
informed person might be led to sup
pose that the greatest event in
Africa's history is the advent of the
distinguished American on his hunt
ing expedition Students of missions
we'll know however, that a big array
of shining names are associated with
Africa; and that the ameliora,,on Of
the natives has been largely due to
the missionaries who nave lived and
worked there. Mr.. Roosevelt, whose
interest in missions is a matter of re-
peated record, will find in the region
where he is going to hunt lions, eX.
tensive and successful missionary ef-
fort in progress. His observations up.
on this will be of possibly greater In
terest and value than his hunting
stories. In any case, this widely,
heralded expedition is of great service
to all the agencies that minister tc
Africa's uplift, for it is calling the at
tention of the world to little under
stood and commonly ignored CONT
.nent.

What the Peruvians Believed.

A unique idea Of the future state
was that OF the ancient Peruvians.
AS the mbodied soul winged It's
way to eternity it encountered two
rocks. upon one Of which 1t must
needs rest The choice was deter
mined by the morality Of the life in
the flesh. If it rested upon the left
hand rock it was instantly translated
to ''Po," or oblivion, q state analogous
to the Nirvana of the orient. II
through early misdeeds, however, the
unhappy spirit was guided to the right
hand rock it entered into a purga-
torlal hell where fiends grated away
the flesh from all the bones in sue
cession, after which the skeleton was
reclothed and sent back to earth for
another try. There was no haste
about this grating process. 1t took
something over 10000 years.

Government May Not Help

Owners of overflow lands along the
Pend Oreille River and Lake have been
holding numerous meetings at Standpoint
for discussion of means of securing
government aid for their project Of
blasting out the rocks at Albenl Falls
with the hope of lessening the overflow.
At their last meeting the following
damper was placed on their plans ac-
cording to the Northern Idaho News, OF
Standpoint:
John K Ashley, stated to the meet
ing that it was utterly Impossible to get
the government interested in the propo-
sition OF blowing the rock from the river
at Albeni Falls unless it was a direct
benefit to navigation in the way of ex-
tending the same to points further up
the lake and river. Mr.. Ashley stated
that in his estimation the only way that
anything could be accomplished was by
the organization of drainage district
after which bonds could be issued with
which to procure funds to defray the ex-
enses of carrying on the work. Accord
ing to Mr.. Ashley the first steps to be
taken in the preparatory work would be
the making Of survey of the falls to
ascertain just what would have to be
done to put the stream in such shape
as to control it during high and low
water He stated that it would require
about 81 900 to pay for the survey work
but aside from that no steps were taken
to arrange for furthering the work.
Without a doubt the value of land in
the overflow ed districts would be great
ly EXCHANGED in case the water could be
regulated, so as not to cover the low
bottom land during the spring floods,
but it will require many thousand dol
lars to accomplish this work.
