IN THE Soul of Central Africa"
the Rev. John Roscoe gives a
lively and interesting account
OF the work of the Mackie Ethno-
logical Expedition to Central Afri-
ca, The field of this investigation
was mainly the Uganda protecto-
rate. where he had previously
lived as a missionary.
His journey took him to the
veritable Mountain Of the Moon"
of which the Greeks knew in dim
legend as the source of the Nile.
The negro population seems al
ways to have received him hos
pitably. At no point is there any
suggestion OF i'll will on their
part; they almost everywhere
showed themselves kindly people,
even though some of their Gus
toms were grim In the extreme.
The effect Of civilization on the
people OF the capital Of Uganda
is not wholly satisfactory. The
belief In ghosts and in the old
gods, with the intense dread OF
magic, has gone, while sexual lax
ity, theft and drunkenness have,
since the breakdown Of the old
social customs which restrained
them. grown to an alarming ex-
tent.
Mr.. Roscoe journeyed by motor
car to the remote province of
Ankole, which lies under the 1s,-

OF the Ankole customs he gives
q very curious and fascinating
account:
Cows are the highest form of

ulated by the value of the COW.

the payment of one or more cows.

WHAT makes the statues Of
London so dull, and Uhut con
or should be done to make them
more Interestingly ...,
The famous sculptor, Captain
Jones, discusses the subject tn an
article, ,ohich follo1os:
BY CAPT. ADRIAN JONES.
(The Famous scuIptor).
THE recent suggestion that Lon
don should have statues of
humorous nature serves
to draw attention to the short
comings Of many of those already
In existence, and may, perhaps,
be instrumental in effecting a
movement toward something bet
ter in the future.
The present system, whereby a
sculptor is commissioned to make
a statue of someone already dead,

not yet been chosen, can be pro-
ductive Of nothing but the wood
en-, lifeless effigies which are far
from being an asset to the streets
of London.
The first thing that a sculptor
should know IL where II IN in
tended that his statue should
stand. so that the design, not
only Of the figure but OF the
plinth that supports It, can con-
form with the architecture of the
surrounding buildings and give
an effect Of harmony instead of
discord.
II has unfortunately become
