Problem in Transportation.

Then the mighty question riz." how
were they going to set the lions over
that twenty-five miles to Nairobi? In
Nairobi was a freighter who owned mule
teams Of wonderful capacity. But when
it came to a show down the freichter
would not guarantee that his mules would
work up to specifications in front of .,
wagon load of lions. Mr.. Baker pondered
taking the chances, but there arose be-
fore his eyes visions OF stampeded mule
team and five perfectly good lions fes-
TONED over the East African pains. lie
'renigged.
AS an alternative. a Boer. who had a
renowned team of fourteen oxen was
pressed into the service. The combined
placidity of the Boer and the oxen ap-
pea.ed to MIR. Baker. The experiment
was successful and the lions camc through
safely. The greatest difficulty vas cN-
perienced in getting them from their
house at the ranch into their individual
cages. But Mr.. Baker era tily starved
the lions several days. and then put meat
in the boxes. At that 1t took two whole
days to get the beasts to enter the boxes.
Owing to the cattle quarantine regula-
tons, the first set of oxen had to be UNI
hitched at one of the rivers aud the lion
laden wagon dragged through the stream
by the natives. Once across safely, the
lions were turned over to the mercies of
another OK team, which drew them into
Nairobi.
One Trouble After Another.
There the whole outfit was rounded up
and put on train. But the rains fell
and the storm beat upon the tracks, so
that the earth grew soft and the train
ran off the rails. More natives to the
bat, and the menagerie was unloaded and
transferred to cars provided by the
wrecking crew from Mombasa. By
ho,u.n. a tramp steamer two f,urs Mr..
Baker got on board at Mombasa with
all his cargo except a special feeder and
helper he had engaged for the passage.
He got lost in tine shuttle.
Also half the supply of fodder for the
ant ones which had been prom sed from
up the country there was a drought in
Nairt terr,t 'ry and feeo was
scarce), was left behind. But Mr.. Baker
made the native boys hustle out ana cut
grass while the beasts we're being loaded.
This helped out until they got to Port
Said.
Then. a little way out of Mombasa, Mr.
Baker and the lady wart hog got seasick
at the same time. NJ. Baker had grown
fond of the wart hos and their mutual
condition made him all the more sympa-
thetic. Gle does not know vet whether

Flights of Balloons.

Flights for the two dozen spherical
balloons that have been brought to this
city from all parts of the country will
be made from Huntington Park. sixty
miles from the aviation field. Owing to
the conformation of the intervening
stretch of country, however, spectators
ut aviation camp will be enabled to see
the balloon flights at the same time the
heavier -than-air machines are in the
air, and if air currents are right the
balloons may at times be seen directly
over the aviation field. Balloon races
will be held in the latter days of the
meet, when attempts to sail over the
Sierra Madre range of mountains and
to sail from this city to San Francisco
for prizes offered by the aviation COM
mittee will be made.
The first one of the prize competitions
for heavier than-air machines-that for
greatest speed-will be made Tuesday.
According to Glenn III. Curtiss, the avia-
tors will be compelled to make these
flights at a height of about seventy-five
feet on account of the topography of the
field, whereas the flights of the aviation
courses in Europe have been made at a
height of from fifteen to twenty-five feet.
1t is the expectation of Curtiss that all
records for altitude in heavier than-air
machines will be broken here.
