RULING A SAVAGE TRIBE. :
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS;

The author of Heroes of Modera
Crusades," the Rev. Edward Gilliat,
NJ A, at one time master of Harro "
School, says in his most interesting
book that he had a few years ago the
privilege of meeting the king OF the
Quiah country, Tetty Agamasong, at
Harrow. The Quiah king had been
educated at st. Augustines College,
Canterbury, and was able to lecture
to the Harrovians in good English. N
his lecture he told a quaint story
which brings one nearer to the weird
lives of the Quiahs, a small agrlcul-
tural and trading tride Of inoffensive
character on the west coast of Africa.

Camel n Delicate Beast,

Contrary to the widespread but err
roneous opinion, the camel is a very
delicate animal. A camel that has
worked fifteen days In succession
needs months pasturage to recuper-
ate. 1t is liable to a host Of ailments
and accidents. When a caravan
crosses a sebkha, or dry salt lake. 1t
is rare that some of the animals do
not break a leg. If the fracture is in
the upper part of the limb there is
nothing for it but to slaughter the
animal and retail its flesh as butchers
meat.
If the lower part of the limb has
been injured the bone is set and held
in position by means of splints made
of palm branches, which are bound
with small cords. If no complications
ensue at the end of a month the frac-
ture is reduced. When it is a case of
simple dislocation the injured part is
cauterized with a redhot iron, then
coated with clay and bandaged with =
strip of cloth. Fifteen days afterward
the animal is generally cured.-Vulga-

PEARY WANTS.
AMERICAN FLAG
At SOUTH POLE
DISCOVERER OF NORTH END OF
EARTH'S AXIS MAKES OFFER TO
GEOGRAPHIC SOCIETY.
TO MAKE START NEXT FALL.
Commander Has Announced That He
Will Not Accompany Expedition,
but Will Give Advice
PROPOSITION WILL BE ACCEPTED.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. q
Commander Robert e. Peary, discoverer
of the north pole, has made a PROPOSE
ton to the National Geographic society,
which, if accepted, will mean that All
American expedition will be on the way
to discover the unconquered south pole
next fall.
On behalf of the Peary Arctic club of
New York, Commander Peary suggested
that the club and the Geographic society
tit up a, joint expedition to reach the
south pole The Peary Arctic club, he
said, in making the offer at a dinner Civ
en- by DR.. Alexander Graham Bell to the
board of directors of the National Geo
graphic society, would contribute the
steamship Roosevelt, which could not be
duplicated for $4,000, provided the Ma,
tional Geographic society would assume
the responsibility for the first $4,000 to-
ward the cost of the expedition.
To Divide Expense.
According to the plan suggested, all ex-
penses above that sum are to be divided
equally between the two organizations.
Commander Peary estimated that the
total cost would be $4,000 to 100000.
The proposed expedition would start next
fall, and would reach coast land about
March, 1911. This point is directly OPP
posite the base of the British South Po-
lar expedition. The two camps would be
about 1000 miles apart, and approximate
ly the same distance from the pole. 1t
is estimated that the explorers would
reach the south pole about December 81,
1911.
Commander Peary's proposal was re-
ceived with enthusiasm by the members
of the board of managers of the Geo
graphic society, but as the meeting at
&C, C
NAL action was taken. The matter, how
ever. was referred to the finance and
research committees of the society with
instructions to report at 9 special meet
ing to be called at an early day.
Will Accept Offer.
1t is believed that the society viii de-
eide to accept the proposal. Commander
Peary, however, said that he could not
conduct the expedition in person as the
sledge work required so much physical
exertion that it needed younger man
than he to undertake it.
