His incessant work, his avoidance
of all rest and recreation and his rig

In this connection a pretty story is
told about the famous journalists son

do anything because it was pleasant? 20
Yes. once-when he married you."'

mammals of which hundreds and hundreds were
brought to America to give the student ade-
quate idea of the fauna of the African plains,
mountains, valley and forests.
1t was Colonel Roosevelt's first glimpse of the
African quarry since he saw it living in its ma
tive wids- 1t was his desire to know how per
fectly the specimens had been prepared and
what deterioration, the climatic conditions
before shipment and after arrival had caused.
Accompanying Mr.. Roosevelt in his trip
through the museum were DR.. c. Hart Merriam,
now the head of the Hartman Geological Foun-
dation and former chief of the United States
Biological Survey: Mr.. Edmund Heller. who
companied Mr. Roosevelt to Africa and who pre-
pared most of the big game specimens for ship
ment; Edgar A. Mearns, the >ornithologist, who
accompanied the expedition and collected most
of the birds; Louis Agassiz Fuertes. the mann
NAL and bird painter; John Snure. and myself
We had the huge in which the Roosevelt
collections stored all to ourselves Colonel
Roosevelt spoke freely about his trip and told
many anecdotes in connection Herewith which
do not appear in his book and which he did
tell in his lecture before the National Geographic
Society
1t is hard to describe adequately the enthu-
siasm of the Oyster Bay hunter over the natural
history treasures which his expedition had
cured for the National Museum and which, much
to the Colonels delight. had arrived in splendid
condition due largely to the hard. driving, pains
taking work of Edmond Heller and ]. Alden Lo-
ring and DIR. Mearns In preparing the specimens
under the heat of African sun and with only
natives to help them In their delicate and diff
cult task
The first visit of the colonel was paid to the
part of the where the elephant, the
rhinoceros and the hippopotamus hides in their
crude form slowed away awaiting the day
when they will be mounted and made to appear
natural form in the great exhibition hall The
colonel stopped before the skin of gigantic
elephant. The hide had been placed a huge
table which it covered completely while the
overflow went to the floor and stretched out for

which is about the size of a redwinged black
bird the swamp blackbird known to every coun'
try boy. The shrike preys smaller birds, on
mice and big insects which it empales on
thorns after making meal in the case OF pros
and mice, of the brains of the quarry Inc
shrike is dressed in soft grays and while rather
a handsome bird it is by no means of brilliant
attire
The African shrfkes which DR.. Mearns col
lected and in which Theodore Roosevelt showed
a marked interest on the day in which he went
through the museum, are perhaps among the
most brilliant colored birds of the world. They
are unlike the American scarlet tanager only
the scarlet is of the kind that to burn the
sight. Colonel Roosevelt has been having a lit
tie controversy with Scientist Abbott H. Thayer
the question of the protective coloration OF
birds and mammals Mr. Thayer. in general
way thinks that animals have colora
ton which protects them in measure from
discovery 1t is known that this Is perfectly true
of some kinds of wild creatures, but Mr.. Thayer
thinks that brilliantly plumaged birds are
protected Colonel Roosevelt the day of his
visit to the museum held up of the shrikes
in its scarlet attire and said ironically, There's
a fine example of protective coloration-" Look
ing at the bird one might readily believe that
against background of green leaves it would
be the first object in the landscape to attract
attention.
There storks in the African collection.
think that three species were included in the
captures. Now it must be understood that when
the expedition went into Africa it agreed
that there should be killing beyond the actual
needs of science except of course when it was
necessary to kill game to supply the game table
with food. The rule that when a certain
number of mammals birds of each kind had
been killed the shooting must stop and the num-
Der fixed very small although of course this
regulation did not apply to destructive animals
like the beasts of prey, mice and other crop de-
stroying rodents
The rule which Mr. Roosevelt insisted upon
and in which the others readily acquesced was
lived up the letter. When DR. Mearns had Sc
cured a fixed number of storks he wanted get
one more because he thought there some
point which might be decided if he could add
another stork the collection He told Colonel
Roosevelt he going to kill another stork.
The colonel laughed and said, 1t is reported:
Not your life" Mr. Rooseyelts antirace
suicide procurement may account for his de-
votion to the interests of the stork.
