A white guide, familiar with the
language and customs, can usually be
secured, the wages varying from S195
to 1865 per month, with food, equip.
ment, etc, furnished by the head of
the expedition. Ponies or mules are
usually taken, and they can be either
hired or bought outright. Roughly
| speaking, a good mule can be OBJ
tanned for $50 and a pony for S1G0 up.
The expenses in the field, which in
clude the hire of tents, necessary
camp furniture, the cost of food,
wages. outfit and rations of the nee.
essary attendants, is reckoned at
about $4S6 per month for each mem

each sportsman This sum does not
include liquors, and it may easily be
exceeded if luxuries are required. The
expenses of a safarl vary with the
nature of the district visited. and if
a foodless, waterless, or otherwise
difficult territory is chosen, the cost is
increased to a considerable extent
The foregoing figures have reference
to a safaH starting from Nairobi. The
average number of porters, per man,
on a two months trip is about thirty
Travellers are advised to bring their
own personal kit, boots, etc, battery

purchased locally if desired. Several
firms make a business of managing
safari expeditions.

ILLUMINATING PISTOLS.

Scientific American: During the re-
cent extended maneuvers of the Ger
man army there were many night at
tacks, in which use was made of the
newly introduced Illuminating pistols.
According to the new regulations,
these are to be employed wherever
the confguration of the land makes
their use preferable to that of the or
binary searchlight. The machinery
necessary for the use of the latter de-
vice is very inconvenient, and espec-
tally in rolling and otherwise difficult
country where the main meneuvers
take place, it can not be used to ad-
vantage.
The Illuminating pistols have not
this disadvantage, as they are easily
transported. Further, the searchlight
is useless in valleys and deep lying
plains, as their rays shoot over these
and leave them apparently in still
deeper shadow.
For this reason such valleys serve
as excellent covers at night, against
the searchlights. The Illuminating
pistols have done away with this ad-
vantage of shelter, as the cartridges
which they throw light up the deepest
and darkest gulleys.
There are two different sorts of car
tridges, producing respectively white
and red light. The white ones serve
exclusively for Illuminating the coun-
try, the red ones for signaling pur.
poses between widely separated com.
mands or divisions, even where the
distance between them is several kilo
meters. The Illuminating cartridges
develop a light that makes everything
within 200 meters (656 feet visible
and lasts eight to ten seconds.

In LAW TURTLES ARE ANIMALS.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1S.-In holding
Captain Cleveland II. Downs, of the
Ward Line steamship Saratoga in $500
bail for the Court of Special Sessions
on a charge of cruelty to animals,
Magistrate Freschi handed down de-
cision determining for the first time in
history it is believed, the legal status
of the turtle.
In an opinion of several thousand
words Magistrate Freschi decided that
within the law the turtle is an animal;
without the law it is a reptile.
Captain Downs was charged with
permitting the fins or loppers of IS
large green turtles carried as freight
on the Saratoga to be pierced and tied
to prevent the turtles from crawling
over the sides of the ship

duty bound to accept But what is
the law?'
The report then discussed at length
the intent OF the law and arrives at
the conclusion that the organic act
Of 1902 with It's provisions in regard
to public lands does not apply to the
frar lands.
There are many other limitations
and conditions glescdtbed lin uhe
organic act, declares the report,
general in character, and which may
reasonably be construed to have been
eX ended to triar lands; but the linn
itations and conditions specifically
imposed upon the sale and disposal
Of lands owned by the United States
ard which this government has gem
erously permitted to be sold for the
benefit Of the Filipino people, can not
by any reasonable construction be
made to extend to sales by the Phil
lppine government Of lands purchased
with It's own money from private own
ers and which never did belong to
the United States.
IL is quite within the power Of the

the plea chat the bonding fund for
the fire department was practically
exhausted. He told council two
weeks ago that the present council
would spend all the fire fund, even il
II had to buy popcorn with it.
The finance committee reported
bills amounting to s14,7S1 80. which

mate and was added. by resolution.
The item amounts to $4S.
