may be seen an endless procession OF
wild animals, which seem to have
learned that the formidable looking
locomotive cannot leave the rails over
which IL moves through their domain.
Troops of wild zebras, herds of ante
lope, black wildebeetses, herds of red
kongoni, and, in fact, most every
imaginable beast is to be seen. with
the exception of the lion. the rhinoc-
eros and the elephant. Good for
tune may even bring these within the
ken of the railway passenger, and at
Simba, popularity known as the place
of lions the guides generally promise
the sight of the regal animal. But
this is exceptional, and the paueity of
this game is due to the greed of the
hunter, for not 50 long ago IL was the
practice to stop these trains when
ever opportunity offered to shoot a
lion or two The royal ones have
profited by the experience of unfortu-
nate relatives, and now the stopping
of a train or wagon is the cue for
the exit from the scene of this willy
animal. Hunters travelling by cara
van upon sighting a lion are said to
drop unobserved from their wagon
while the vehicle itself continues in
motion. The absence of the rhinoc-
eros from this railway review is
popularity credited to the fate of an
i'll advised member of the species,
who tried conclusions with a swiftly
moving locomotive. The elephant
is still more reserved. and nothing
but the rarest chance will permit a
view of him while a train of cars
is within his sight.
Contrary to popular opinion, per-
haps the courage of the Roosevelt
party will not be tested by encounters
with lions, for this beast beats a
hasty retreat when approached, and
only shows its fighting qualities when
at bay. II a lion is slaughtered II
will be known that the hunters pur-
sued with relentlessness, disregard
ing the pitfalls of the rough country,
where mistep means disaster
Rather will valor be shown in the
Staying of rhinoceros. The huge
body offers an easy mark, but the
bull's-eye is the eye or heart. Unless
you hit a vital spot he takes turn
at you promptly. Mr.. Churchill got
a rhinoceros out OF herd OF three.
He says: Great is the moral effect
of foe who advances. Everybody
fired Still the ponderous brute came
on as IL he were invulnerable; as II
he were an engine or some steam
barge imperyious to bullets, insen-
sible TO pain or fear. Thirty seconds
more and he will close. An i'm
palpable curtain seems to roll itself
up in the mind. revealing a mental
picture strangely lighted. yet very
still, where objects have new values

Government and steadily improved,
the road has reached state of credi-
table efficiency The roadbed is good
and the gradual incline is overcome
at fairly good speed. When Mr..
Churchill made this trip he occupied
seat on the cowcatcher, and il is
safe TO say that the Americans will
be satisfied with no lesser point of
vantage. The magazine reader may
expect before long TO see pictured
the members of the Roosevelt expedi-
ton viewing the country perhaps
from an old-fashioned church pew
fastened above the cowcatcher of an
engine. AS the land unfolds itself
before the travellers, game of endless
variety will be seen, and deep gorges
crossed while plantations of cotton,
rubber and fibre and trim little rail-
way stations will give touch of mod
ern color to the otherwise prehistoric
scene. On either side of the train

SET ALIEN LAW ON BOSS.
Philadelphia Mill Superintendent
Victim of Labor War.

NEW YORK, S.'.-W. j. Hill is
detained on Ellis Island. on a charge
of violating the contract labor law
The case is rather unusual. Hill ar
rived today with his wife, four chill
dren and nurse In the first cabin of
the Baltic from South Hampton. His
family was permitted to land, but
Hill was detained. pending an inyes-
tigation.
Hill, man in the early thirties,
IL appears, made his first visit 10 the
United States in November last, and
secured the position of superinten-
dent OF large wooden mill in Phila-
delIhia. Later. it is stated, labor
troubles arose in the mill. force was
reduced and Hill went back to Eng
land to bring his family to Philadel-
phia, with the intention of making
that city his permanent home.
After Hills departure one of the
former employees of the mill made a
very specific affidavit to the depart
ment of Commerce and labor that
Hill was violating the contract labor
law. Inspectors of the department
were kept on the lookout.
A board of special inquiry will
hear his case tomorrow. and IL II de-
cides that Hill has violated the pro-
visions of the law, he is liable to de-
poration as an undesirable alien.

hasa TO Carlo, and his most positive
deduction from his observations was
that the British Government, in pre-
ference TO its other African estates,
should concentrate upon Uganda.
He says. Over the greater part of
northeast Africa, British influence
or authority in one form or another
is supreme But when ! turn my
mind over all these vast expanses,
excluding only Egypt, there is no
region which offers prospects which
compare in hopefulness with those of
the Proteetorate of Uganda. The
Soudan is far greater in extent and
importance, and Great Britain is at
no charge in respect TO il. But the
Soudan is clearly inferior in fer
tility." The East Africa protectorate
he says. holds a promise less bright;
Northern Somaliland is a desert of
rocks and thorn bushes peopled by
rifle armed fanatics, and between
Somaliland and Uganda there Is this

membered that Garibaldi does not care
for "e's." therefore no word containing
the letter "e" must be used in answer
ing the questions asked.
All the players sit in a circle. and
the game begins by one asking his left
hand neighbor. what will you give
to Garibaldi?' and the answer must
be given before the leader finishes wav-
ing his hand slowly three times or a
forfeit must be paid. Then the one
questioned turns to the one next to
him on the left and asks him the same
question and so on around the circle.
