greater portion of the region We explored

feet in height, and quite uninhabited In
fact. all the country we passed through
was but sparsely populated.
I'VE commenced the ascent of the
Ymirda river, and found that the farther
we progressed the harder became the
work. After a weeks navigation we dis
covered a magnificent waterfall over 100
feet in height which took us three days
to get round. After further weeks
difficult programme we found navigation
became impossible. One day man came
up in canoe He had been wounded and
had a spear in his kidney, which had
been bleeding for two days. His little
craft was half full of blood. I operated
on him and he eventually recovered. We
did not retrace our way for 80 days and
where we had stored our food. These
people, who had never seen a white man
before. were quite friendly. Later we
came across colony composed entirely
of male Indians. At a subsequent stage
of the journey we traversed a snake in

was no sign of human life but tapirs,
jaguars and monkeys abounded. They
were as tame as domestic animals. The
tapir swan round the canoe while the
jaguars shifted round our nets at night
and had to be driven off like dogs.
England's Cider Strike
Canadian and American apple growers
may be interested In the cider strike In
Herefordshire. which bids fair to develop
into serious proportions. The fruit grow
ers are furious because the price of their
goods is fixed by the purchaser without
any reference to the views of the pro-
ducer or the extent of the crop. They
receive circular saying what the price
is. and there Is an end of the matter.
Many of them are insisting this year on
100 per cent increase. The farmers say
you can only make English cider out
of English apples. The other side hold
up the threat of American and Canadian
apples which a west country palate claims
to detect at once.

London, November 1.-(Special.)-All
the multi mill onaires are not in the Uni
ted States, by a long shot. Great Britain
has few herself. as shown by the figures
of the inland revenue department, just
published. The number of British mil
lionaires as shown by the income tax,
is 214. And this means millionaires in
pounds sterling. In other words, man
has to be a millionaire five times over
in the American sense before he arises
to that dignity in the empire of money
in England. II the American million is
taken as a standard. the United King
dom can boast AIS milionaires.
Some idea of the enormous investments
Great Britain has abroad may be gath
cred from the fact that the income of
his majesty's subjects from the class of
Investments reached the enormous total
. of s519,47000o. which indicates that some
thing like s12374, 600 of British money
Is working In foreign countries
British taxable incomes foot up S.
S4o,710,Ooo, of which the treasury gets
about $204.00O000. All of which goes to
show that In the contest of wealth Great
Britain stands pretty nearly If not quite
at the top, despite the Pittsburg mil
lionaires.
