A Haunt of the Hippo.
; From our camp on the Guaso Nyero we
trekked in little over four days to Lake
Naivasha 1t is lovely sheet of water,
surrounded by hills and mountains the
shores broken by rocky promontories and
indented by papyrus-frnged bays.
Next morning we shifted camp four miles
to place on the farm, and near the house,
of the Messrs. Attenborough, settlers on the
shores of the lake, who treated us with
most generous courtesy and hospitality-as
indeed, did all the settlers we met They
were two brothers, one had lived 20 years
on the Pacific coast, mining in the Sierras,
and the other had just retired from the
British navy, with the rank of commander.
They had steam launch and big heavy
rowboat and they most kindly and gener-
ously put both at our disposal for hippo
hunting
We spent one entire day with the row
boat in series of lagoons near camp, which
marked an inlet of the lake We did not
get any hippo, but it was most interesting
day. A broad belt of papyrus fringed the
lagoons and jutted out between them. The
straight green stalks with their feathery
heads rose high and close, forming mass
SO dense that it was practically iinpenetrable
save where the huge bulk OF the hippos had
made tunnels. Indeed, even for the hippos
it was not readily penetrable.
The green monotony of papyrus swamp
becomes wearisome after while yet it is
very beautiful for each reed is TALL slender,
graceful, with its pale Towering crown and
they are typical of the tropics, and their
mere sight suggests vertical sun and hot
steaming swamps, where great marsl,
beasts feed and walow and below, amidst
teeming reptilian life.
Savage Fighters Among Themselves.
There were number of hippo in these
lagoons One afternoon after 4 o'clock
saw two standing half out OF water in
shallow, eating the water lilies. They
seemed to spend the fore part of the day
sleeping or resting in the papyrus near its
edge; toward evening they splashed and
waded among the water lilies, tearing them
up with their huge jaws and during the
night they came ashore to feed on the grass
and land plants. In consequence those
killed during the day, until the late after
noon, had their stomachs filled, not with
water plants, but with grasses which they
must have obtained in their night journeys
on dry land.

San Francisco.-A singing voice
pronounced to be so phenomenal as
to be qualified only as golden has been
discovered among the students of tie

Ettinger, who is a baritone; has re-
ceived the highest rating of any sing

versity glee club twenty-five years
ago.
The quality of Ettinger's voice was
discovered recently when he entered
the tryouts conducted for the selec-
tion of new singers to the club. The
of the judges voted him percentage
of 100.
Ettinger is the son of U. L. Ettin-

young" said Director Morse. "Ettin-
ger has wonderful sweetness of tone
and there is more magnetism in his
voice than in that OF any student who
has come to the university in years.

T. II. CHEERED BY
SPOKANE CROWDS

Spokane, Wash, Sept. 9.-Colonel
Roosevelt arrived here today from
his trip through Montana and was
greeted by a committee of progress
sive leaders. 1t is said that much of
the fatigue that the ex-president
shows is due rather to discouraging
reports he has received from some of
the western managers than to real
physical exhaustion. Especially in in
stances where the progressives have
indorsed republican candidates in
hopes of success for the third party
in November are alarmingly slight.
