certain seasons and is often thin and
emaciated from starvation Their
growth is stunted from this lack of
nourishmcnt. The men of the McMn-
Ian ranch, however, made practice of
shooting zebra OF a wildcbeeste every
day for their pets and kept them filed
to the guards. They waxed fat and
grew wondrous large for their ages.

Central Africa, contrasting strongly
with the dark gold or the beasts from
further north, the variety most often
captured.
Antelopes and Hartebeestes.
There are likewise FIVE antelopes. The
Glands are the biggest OF these and in
fact the largest autelopes that the
world knows. Some of them are six
feet In height at the withers They are
as big as cows and there is n movement
on foot to domcsticate them and raise
them industrially for profit from their
meat and for their service as drawers Of
loads. They are the tamest of all an.
telopes and lend themselves readily to
this sort of scheme. There are two
hartebeestes which also belong to the
antelope family, although they differ
greatly from the Glands. The harte.
beestes are awkward and uncouth crea-
lures, narrow-hcaded, unintelligent.

Menagerie in Wreck.
The Grated animals were here loaded
on the railroad cars and the trip of
$50 miles TO Mombassa was begun. II
was toward the end OF this trip by rail
that the greatest thrill Of the entire
expedition was encountered. The train
was wrecked sixteen miles out of Nom
bassa. 1t had been raining for DAYS
and the track had become soft. The
rails spread and the engine and two
cars went into the ditch. The animals,
however, were on the tail end of the
train and suffered nothing more than a
thorough shaking up. The consignment
was due mt the port, however, and the
ship upon which they were to take pas
sage was waiting There was need of
great haste. The railroad people ran
out a special engine, the crates contain
ing the animals were lifted from their

waiting engine. Here they were re-
loaded and made Mombassa that night
and found the steamer still waiting for
them.

Who Make the Country.
These animals come from the heart
of British East Africa. 1t is at Nairobi
that such famous guides as Cunning
ham, Leslie Tarlton and ''Little Will
ly' Jordan make their headquarters. It
is to this section that the adventurous
Of England most resort and that tho
Nimrods of the world go for the best
of shooting Yet, strange TO say, the
men who are making the country are
from Australia and New Zealand. They
are adventurous spirits who participat-
ed IN the Boer war and drifted north in
search of a newer country than any
they had hitherto seen. They are
there today living such life as that
followed by Buffalo Bill in the palmy
days of our own western plains But
their calling is new one under the
sun for they do little else than ft out
hunting expeditions and the money
they make is brought to Africa by the
wealthy of all lands who would shoot
the great beasts OF the wilds.
