His Long walk Across Africa How n
Reached Europe.
From the London Globe.

News was received in London on Satur-
day of the death of Joseph Creswick. who
while fleeing from justice accomplished
one Of the most remarkable walking feats
on record.
Creswick was underg ding a sentence for
forgery in Rhodesia and while being con-
veyed from one prison to another by train
las reported some months aRo) conceived
the idea OF escaping from his guards As
his legs were heavily ironed the task was
by no means an easy one. but one night,
when the train in which he was being con-
veyed was between Buluwayo and Sails
bury and his guards were asleep Creswick
quietly opened tho carriage door and
jumped out. When he reached the ground
he fell but was not badly hurt During the
remainder Of the night he shuffied along in
the dark and at dsybreak could see the rail-
road in the distance. He decided to walk
in q straight line from IL. which he did for
several days, still with his feet shackled.
Day after day and night after night he
rubbed his irons with the shsrpest pieces
OF rock he could nnd until at last he was
able to throw his manacles aside. After
this Creswick went on with great strides
he found himself. his sole object being
to get to some white settlement.
Some weeks after his escape the wanderer
had a wonderful piece Of luck. In hut
apparently belonging TO a settler he found q
gun and some ammunition. which in the
circumstances he did not hesitate to take
possession Of. With the gun he mana sed to
shoot several xebras and other animals.
which provided him with many a welcome
meal: but unfortunately his gun got out
Of order before HIS ammunition became
exhausted and he had to rely upon fruit
for his sustenance.
just when Crcswick was coming 10 the
conclusion that he had been walking round
and round without ma king much progress
he fell in with some natives. who gave him
certain directions as to how to find "a very
long water" which Creswiok concluded
must mean the River Congo. and for several
more weeks he continued his tramp.
Eight months after his escape from the
train between Salisbury and Buluwayo
Crsswick was found by q party Of Belgians
lying In q weak and feverish condition about
two hundred miles from Leopoldville on the
Congo. They nursed him back to health
and strength. At Bomba. arrayed In all the

got ship to London. That, however,
led to his undoing. for while walking In

tsctive Inspector Belcher OF Scotland Yard.
who arrested him on the charge Of sscaplnR
from lawful custody.
He was taken subsequently, 70 Rhodssia

EATING AN Orange.

Il was a guest one evening at the tahlo
OF a planter in Jamaica. When dessert
time came around the hostess asked ma
il she might peel an orange for me. She
took a sharp knife and deftly removed
the outer skin only. She began az the ton
and worked her way to the bottom. throw.

"She then sliced it across Horizontally

bit into the expanse OF golden fruit that
was temptingly exposed. found that
the outer pith prevented any of the juice
from escaping. while the orange having
been cut across IL was possible 70 get az
all the meat and leave the worthless por-
ton behind. There was no acrid rind
to burn my lips. and I realized had
never fully enjoyed an orange.
This same woman called my attention
to the fact that she had not divided ths
fruit into equal portions and that ths
smaller portion had been the sweeter.
asked for an explanation. and she told me
that as soon as an orange begins to ripen
on the tree the sweetening matter sinks
to the lower end. away from the stem.
For that reason they always cut the sweet
end smaller in Jamaica. They eat the
larger portion first. reserving what thev
call the head as a tit-bit.
A lady in Porto Rico showed m.
another stunt. She began to peel an
orange as the Jamaica woman had done.
but stopped about one quarter Of the
way down. She then ran the knife into
the peeled end and cut away a conical
section OF fruit.
The hole that resulted became rapidly

time. getting only the pure juice into
my mouth.
The cut she made opened all tbs

the fruit from bursting. while one end
