COLONY HAD ITS DARK DAYS
Prosperous Sierra Leone Gave Little
Promise Of Being Success When
IL Was Started.

The first settlement in Sierra Leone,
the prosperous British colony on the
west coast OF Africa, was made in
1856. Al that period London swarmed
with free negroes living In poverty
and on the verge OF starvation. and Dr.
Smeathman's scheme for sending them
TO Africa 10 found a colony was ac-
cepted as the best solution OF the diff
Guilty The first shipload of colonists
consisted of 400 negroes and sixty
whites, the latter principally women
OF bad character Although land for the
colony had been purchased from the
native king the Africans were not
friendly, and hostile attack, together
with the shiftlessness Of the coIOnists
almost brought the venture to ruin
In 1871 the survivors were removed T.
new settlement, and in 1893 the POI
llatiOn Of the colony was increased b
he Introduction of 1.20O negroes from
Nova Scotia and the Bahamas. II
l794 the settlement was again trans
erred to Freetown, now the capital o.
he colony and the greatest seapori
IN the west coast of Africa. In the
'arly days the government of the idle
blacks was no sinecure, and Sydney
smith remarked. not without truth
hat Sierra Leone always had two
,overnors-one Just arriving and tn
ther just leaving. The soil OF Sierr
cone is exceedingly fertile, but few
hite men are able to live there.

TRAGEDIES OF ALPS
Many Lives Lost in Attempting
Their Ascent.
Death Roll Averages Between Sixty
and Seventy Per Year-Dangerous
Climb of an American
Woman Related.

London.-"High places are homes OF
ancient worship. Ascent is a conse-
Grated type of labor with an exceed
ing great reward"
So wrote the late Mr.. Donald Rob
ertson in the Alpine Journal. And he.
one Of the finest climbers, who had
Travelled the Alps from end to end,
was killed about four years ago while
leading party up a comparatively in
significant Welsh mountain.
Most mountaineering accidents oc-
cur in Switzerland, and the death
roll of the Alps has now risen to an
average of between so and 70 yearly,
while another 300 people are more
or less seriously injured. In one year
$1,000, the number of the killed was
no less than 119.
Examine the published statistics of
these accidents, and two points strike
you. First, that comparatively few
of the tragedies recorded occur at
great heights or in VIGOROUSLY difficult
places; secondly, that large ma
jority of the victims are women or
very young men.
A third point is that In 92 per cent.
of cases they were climbing without
guides.
The fact is that ignorance or reck-
sssness account for by far the great
er number of Alpine accidents. Peo-
pie who have, perhaps, never climbed
before in their lives start out to
ascend mountains with which they are
totally unacquainted. In most cases
they are physically unfit for the Sc
we're exertion entailed by climbing,
and very often they are not properly
clothed or equipped for the expedi-
ton.
An instance in point is given by
Mr.. Julian Grande, a well-known mem
Der of the Alpine club. Accompanied
by a friend, he was climbing the
respectable peak of about
10000 feet in the Bernese Overland.
At a great height, he noticed in the
snow the track of a small boot, evil
iently a lady's. This was sufficiently
but the amazing point
vas that there were no signs of nails
n the boots.
AS they approached the summit they
caught sight of a woman

they caught her up, and found she

her what brought her there, and she
answered that she had followed the
path marked in the guide book. and
that she meant to come down by the
sleighs.
"Sleighs?" asked Mr.. Grande, much
puzzled. She pulled out the guide
book, and showed the following SEN

Mr.. Grande quietly explained that

explanation not only surprised but
