Another seven-foot cobra was killed. There were bril- liant musses of the rod aloo flowers and of yoi- lew blossomed vines.

MR. ROOSEVELT'S EXPERIENCES,

The following is from the Daily Telegraph :- The Sotik country through which we had hantel was sorely stricken by drought. The res

was short and withered, and most of the waterholes were drying up, while both the game and the flocks sad herds of the nomad Massi gathered round the watercourses in which there were still cocasional muddy pools, and grazed their neighbourhood bare of pasturago. It was an unceasing pleasure to watch the ways of the game and to study their varying habits. Where there was a river from which to drink, or where there were many pools, the different kinds of back, and the zebra, showed comparatively little timidity about drinking, and come boldly down to the water's edge, sometimes in bread day. light, sometimes is darkness. But where the pools were fow they never approached one with out feeling panic dread of their great enemy the lion, who, they knew well, liked to lurk around their drinking places. At such a pool I once saw a herd of zebras come to water at nightfall. They stood motionless some dis ice tence off; they slowly approached, and twice on false alarms wheeled and fled at speed at last the leaders ventured to the brink of the pool, and at once the whole hard came jostling and crowding in behind them, the water gurgling down their thirsty throats and imme- aiately afterward off they went at a gallop, stopping to graze some hundreds of yards away. The ceaseless dread of the lion felt by all which

the hind one (it proved to be 2ft. long) was as I passed, a few hundred yards distant. The topi uttered only a kind of sneeze, and the hartebeeste a somewhat similar sound. so-called Robert's gazelle was merely the Grant's gazelle of the Athi, with the lyrate ahape of the horns leading to be carried to an extreme of spread and backward bend, The tommy backs carried good horns; the horas of the does were usually aborted, and were never more than four or five inches long. The mast notable feature about the tommies was the in Cassan switching of their tails, as it jerked by electricity.

Death by violence, death by cold, death by starvation-these are the normal endings of the stately and beautiful oreatures of the wil. derness. The sentimentalists who prattle about the peaceful life of nature do not realise Its utter mercilessness, although all they would have to do would be to look at the birds in the winter woods, or even at the insects on a cold morning or cold evening. Life is hard and ernel for all the lower creatures, sul for may also in what the gentimentalis's call a "state of nature," The savage of to-day shows us what the fancied age of gold of our ancestors was really like; it was an age when hunger, cold, violence, and iron cruelty were the ordi nary accompaniments of life. If Matthew Arnold, when he expressed the wish to know the thoughts of earth's " vigorous, primitive tribes of the pust, had really desired an answer to his question, he would have done well to visit the homes of the existing representatives of his "vigorous, primitive ancestors, and to watch them feasting on blood and guts; while as for the "pellucid and pure" feelings of his imagi. nary primitive maiden, they were those of bay meek, cowlike creature who accepted marriage by purchase or of convenience as a matter of

It was to me a perpetual source of wonder- ment to notion the difference in the behaviour of different individuals of the same species, and in the behaviour of the mme individual at different times; as, for example, in the mattor of wariness, of the times for going to water, of the times for resting, and as regards dangerous game, in the matter of ferocity. Their very looks changed. At one moment the sun would turn the zebras of a mixed herd white, and the bartebeeste straw coloured, so that the former could be seen much farther off than the latter and, again, the conditions would be reversed when under the light the zebras would show up groy, and the Lartebeente as red as Loxes.

I had now killed almost all the specimens of the common gate at the Museum needed. However, we kept the skin or skeleton of what over we shot for mest. Now and then, after a good stalk, I would get a boar with unusually fine tusks, a big gazelle with unusually long and graceful horns, or a fine old wildebeeste bull, its horns thick and batterad, its knees bare and calloused from ita habit of going down on them when fighting or threatening fight.

It threatened to charge, but could not quite make up its mind. Watelaing my chance, I then creased its stern with a bullet from the Kittle Springfield, and after some wild circular gal- loping it finally decided to leave.

Kermit, about this time, killed a heavy boar from horseback, after a three-miles run. The bear charged twice, causing the hores to hack and ally. Finally, just as ho was going into bit barrow backward, Kermit raced by and shot him, firing his rifle from the salile after the manner of the old-time Western buffalo ruuners.
