Great Place For Huntino.

The fauna of Uganda is probably
unequaled in variety and Importance
in any other country IN the world. On
the lakes are found great number OF
water birds, storks, cranes, herons.
flamingoes, geese, ducks and divers
But the finest are perhaps the huge
eagles, which prey on the fish. OF
which there is a great variety. Hippo
potamuses and crocodiles haunt all the
waters in the country. On land ele-
plants are found in Buganda, Bunyo-
TO, Buddu, Toro. Busoga. Elgon and
the Nile districts; buffaloes are found
near the swamps: wild bears, hyenas,
leopards and wildcats infest the
woods. where smaller creatures, such
as squirrels, gray parrots. monkeys
and guinea fowl, are found. In the
Wild and more open country to the
north there are rhinoceroses. zebras, os-
triches and many varieties Of antelope,
and throughout the country vultures
and kites abound

Dynamite.


: Dynamite If carefully made and kept
will not explode except by shock or a
blow; hence a cap or detonator is af-
fixed to a charge just before firing to
set it of. Set fire in open air dyna-
mite burns fiercely with a smoky flame,
but does not explode unless several
sticks are closely piled together or
packed in q box. The most common
cause of premature explosion of dyna-
mite is separation of its nitroglycerin,
slight friction or shock causing this to
explode and, in turn, explode the dy-
Mantle. Separation of nitroglycerin
usually occurs when frozen dynamite
is being thawed out; hence so many
cases of explosion by careless or igno-
rant persons who use a perfectly good
stove in course of instruction in how
to handle dynamite. The force Of a
dynamite explosion is usually greatest
downward. Thus a stick of dynamite
exploded on rock without being COW
cred will shatter the rock, but will pro-
duce little effect in other directions.
Like all explosives. dynamite must be
inclosed TO produce its maximum eff
fects. Dynamite Is sometimes prepar-
ed in granular form for producing GER
tain explosive effects, but its action Is
too rapid and intense for use in rifles
or cannon.-American Druggist.

A rare treat was afforded the ladies
OF the Presbyterian Missionary society
at their meeting last Wednesday af-
ternoon. when the pageant, Let
There Be Light" was wonderfully
given by members of the Christian
Endeavor Mission Study class and
others, under the direction of Mrs. c.
g. Kruger. The play conveyed a
strong lesson and one of lasting inn
preston. The pageant was given in
three scenes and brought out immi-
grafton and the future of foreigners
who come TO this country. A beauti-
full setting of flags of different nations
was formed for the pageant. The
first scene opened with Mrs. William
Nachtigal representing Lady Greed,
with Ella Marie Kruger and Wilbur

powers, Selfishness and Evil, are al
ways working. Clarence Rhodes was
also an assistant of Lady Greed.

Elvira Telling, as the woman of the
street. Mrs. <. G. Allen, as Mrs.
Rich and Miss Gretchen Graebel, girl
representing sweat shop labor.
= In the second act Mrs. G. G. Krueg-
er, assisted by Miss Helen Howarth
and Frank Charter filled the role of
Christian Patriotism. In this scene
were educated Christian foreign girls
sent by Christian Patriotism to help
the immigrants, and symbolized the
bread of life, light of the world, etc,
to overtake the power of Greed. Miss
Lillian Young, as Bohemia, Miss
Johanna Lund, Italy, Miss Margaret
Zietlow, Poland, Miss Elizabeth
Luedtke, Finland, Miss Bessie Reese,
the Jewish race and Miss Esther Rife
man, Hungary, acted as the educated
Christian foreign girls.
The third scene showed Ellis Island
and the arrival of immigrants. The
six educated Christian foreign girls
were on hand to each help an immi-
grant, who had arrived in strange
country. While the remaining for
eigners were standing wondering what
to do, Lady Greed and the Woman of
the Street, arrived and took them
captives. The play closes with a
reading by Mrs. Kruger on "Immi-
grant Motherhood" The following
acted as immigrants in the play:
Misses Irma Gill, Faye Aldrich, Cath
crime Dickie, Ruth Mckay, Esther
Risberg, Hannah johnson, Laura
Johnson, Mary Shatto, Meta Munger,
Lily Larson, Winnifred DeVoe, Ruth
Schmidt, Gretchen Kruger, Helen
Kohl and May Kohl, Richard Kruger

evening in place of the regular even
ing service.
