These are some of my experiences during
a trip I hava Just taken over the Uganda
railway from Mombasa to Nairobi I
Ten years ago H took a month to cover
the distance between tha two points, and
tha whole way was on foot I made It In
leas than twenty-four hours, and that in
a comfortable car. The railroad fare was

This gives you some Idea of tha Uganda
railway, which tha British completed only
about five years ago. Tha road begins at
tha Indian ocean and it climbs over soma
of the roughest parts of tha African con
tinent before It ends at Victoria, the great
est fresh water lake of tha world. Leaving
tha seacoast the rtsa of tha road Is almost
continuous until It reaches tha high plains
of British East Africa. Hera at Nairobi
X am mora than a mile above tha sea, and,
about fifteen miles farther on at tha sta
tion of Klyuku, tha road reaches an alti
tude 700 feet above that of Mount Wash

to 115 a month and rations. The native
laborers were paid about It) cents a day.
Before the American workmen arrived
here a large part of the bridge material
was already In Mombasa. They left one
man there to see that additional materials
wen forwarded promptly, and came at
once to the seat of action. They put up
tha bridges at tha rata of something like
one a week, and constructed the longest
viaduct In sixty-nine and one-half work
ing hours. Had It not been for the en
forced delays on tha part of the govern
ment they would hava undoubtedly com
pleted their work in seven months.
As it was, what they did forms one of
tha wonders of civil and mechanical en
gineering. Tha bridge material was so
made that Its pieces fitted together Ilka
clockwork, and that notwithstanding It was
put into shape away off here thousands
of rr.Isa from the place af construction
and In one of tha most savage parts of
the world. Tha materials in the viaducts
Included about half a million feet of south
m pine lumber and more than thirteen
million pounds of steel. The sts t was In
more than one hundred thousand pieces
and the heaviest piece weighed five tons.
The average weight was about ona hun
dred pounds per piece. The greatest cars
had to be taken to keep the parts to
ff other, and In their own places. Every
piece was numbered and those of different
bridges were painted In different colors.
Most of tha natives here look upon steel as
so much Jewelry, and It was Impossible to
keep them from filching soma pieces for
earbobs and bracelets.
Where Lions Eat tha Passengers.
It was difficult to build' this road on ac
count of wild beasts. There are a hun
dred places along It where ona might get
off and start up a Hon. Rhinoceroses hava
butted the frelght'cars along tha track, and
they Infest much of the country through
which it goes. I was shown a station yes
terday where twenty-nlna Hindoos were'
carried off by two man-eating lions. The
man-eaters cams night after night, and
took away one or two of the workmen from
the construction camp. They were finally

killed by an English overseer, who sat up
with his gun and watched for them.
It was not far from this station of
Nairobi that a man was taken out of a
special car by a Hon while It stopped over
night on tha side track. Tha windows and
doors of tha car had been left open for air,
and tha three men who formed Its only In
mates had gone to sleep. Two were in
tha berths and tha other, who had sat up
to watch, was on tha floor with his gun on
his knees. As tha night wore on ha fell
asleep, and woka to find himself under tha
belly of the Hon. Tha beast had slipped in
through tha door. Ho seised tha man In
tha lower berth, and Jumped out of tha
window, carrying him with him. The other
two men followed; but they failed to dis
cover tha beast that night The bones of
the man, picked clean, were found next day.
Through East Africa br Rail.
But come with me and take a trip on that
part of tha Uganda railroad over which I
hava been traveling. We start at Mom
basa, a little coral Island In tha Indian
ocean. Our train carries us across a great
AMERICAN BUILT
steel bridge to tha mainland, and we climb
through a Jungle up to tha plateau. We
pass baobab trees, with trunks like hogs
heads, bursting out at tha top Into
branches. They make ona think of tha frog
who tried to blow himself to the slse of
a bull and exploded in tha attempt. We
go through cocoanut groves, by mango
trees loaded with fruit and through plan
tations of bananas, whose long green leaves
quiver In the breese made by the train as
It passes. Now we sea a gingerbread
palm, and now strange flowers and plants,
tha names of which wa do not know. As
we rise wa can sea tha straits which sepa
rate Mombasa from the' mainland, and
higher still tha broad expanse of the In
dian ocean comes Into view.
For the first 100 miles the climb Is almost
steady, and we are about one-third of a
mile above tha sea when we reach the sta
tion at Vol. Here tha country is more
open; and far off In the distance one can
see a patch of snow floating like a cloud.
That patch Is the mountain of Kilimanjaro,
and, Its top Is mora than 19,000 feet above
the sea. It Is about the highest moun-

tain on the continent, and etlll Is not much
higher tnan Mount Kenla. that other giant
ot British East Africa which rises out of
the plateau some distance north of Nairobi.
After the Jungle of the coast line, tho
country becomes comparatively op'n; and
It soon begins to look like parts of America
where the woods have been cut away
and the brush allowed to grow up in the
fields. Hera the land is carpeted with
grass about a foot or so high, and thou
sands of square miles of such grass aro
going to waste. I saw no stock to eak
of, and at that place but little wild game.
Without knowing anything about the tsetso
fly and other cattle pests, I should say
that the pastures Just back of the coast
might feed many thousand cattle and hogs.
The soil seems rich. It Is a fat clay, of
the color of well burnt brick, which turns
everything red. This dust filled our car,
it coated our faces, and crept through our
clothes. When we attempted to wash, the
water soon became a bright vermilion,
and the towels upon whloh we dried were
brick-red. My pillow, after riding all night

Anions the Antelopra and T.ebraa.
It is a strange 1 1 . i 1 1 to go to sleep In
the woods and to awake finding yourself
traveling over a high, treeless country,
with ganre by tne thousand gamboling
along the car tracks. We u.voke on the
Kapltl plains, which are about a iiiilo
above the sea and miles from Mom
basa. These plains are of a black sandy
loam and they are covered with a thick
grass. .They look much llko Iowa, Kanwus
or Nebraska did when the railroads were
first built through them and when tiie
buffaloes galloped along with the cars.
The same conditions prevail here, save
that the game Is of a half-dozen big kinds,
and most of It Is such as you can see only
in our soologlcal gardens at home. Ac
cording to law no shooting mny be dona
for a mils on each side of the track, and
the road has become a great gamo pro
serve two miles in - width and about 60
miles long. The anlmuls seem to know
that they are safo when they aro near tha
railroad and most of them are as quiet
as our domestic beasts when in the fields.
Let me give you some notes which I
made with these wild animals on all Bides
of me. I copy: These Kapltl plains are
flat and I am riding through vast herds of
antelopes and zebras. 8o:,ie of them are
within pistol Bhot of tho cars. Theru
are fifty-odd- zebraB feeding on the grass
not 100 feet away. Their black and white
stripes shine In the sunlight ond they are
round, plump and beautiful. They ralso
their heads as the train goes by and then
continue their grazing. Further on we seo
antelopes, some as big as a 2-year-old calf,
and others the size of a goat. The little
ones have horns almost a. long as their
bodies. There is one variety which has a
white patch on Its rump. This antelopa
looks as though it had a baby's bib tied to
its stubby tall or Had been splashed with
a whitewash brush. Many of the antelopes
are yellow or fawn colored; and some of
the smaller ones are beautifully striped.
Wild Gnna and Ostriches.
Among the most curious animals to be
seen are the gnus. As I write this there
are some gulloplng along' with the train.
They are gteut beasts as big as a mouse.
with the horns' of a cow and tho inune and
tall of a horse. They are sometimes called
wllde-beeste; they make very good hunt
ing. But, look, there ure some ostriches. The
'flock contains a dozen or more irds,
which stand llko interrogation points
away off there on the plain. They turn
toward tho curs as we approach and then
spread their wings and skim away at
great speed. Giraffes are frequently seen.
They are more timid than the antelope,
however, and are by no means so brave
as the sobras.
We see more and more wild animals as
we go onward. The whole region Is a
zoological garden; and the beasts are so v
protected that they ara fast Increasing in
number. All hunting here must be done
by licenses, and, as I shall show later,
It costs $200 for the right to shoot a cer
tain number of elephants and other big
game. The only animals which one can
kill without government permission are
lions and leopards, and, the danger Is, that
the lion or leopard, and not the man will
do the killing.
Telegraph Wire as Jewelry.
Ona ot tha great troubles that tha Brit
ish government had while building the
Uganda railroad was to keep the natives
from stealing the telegraph wires. The
women use such wire as Jewelry. They
bind It around the legs from the anklo to
tho knee. They wrap it fi great colls
cround their necks, and they make It Into
round disks, which they tie to the lobes
tt their ears. They steal all sorts of rail
road bolts and nuts for personal ornamen
tation, and brass win. and pieces of
bronze are so much In demand thai they
will pass current as money. All the way
here I have seen natives loaded with wire
of one kind or another. Some had little
more than the wire on them, and the
clothes of most were conspicuous by their
absence. About the only cloth worn along
the I'ganda road is small 'pieces of cotton.
Some of the men wear breech chillis und
some of t lie women have short skirts.
Farther up the lino I understand they
wear nothing, and at the terminal sta
tions both men and women u about as
uaked as when they were born.
Some ttarer Jewelry.
It Is wonderful how tiie people mutl
lute themselves In order to be what they
consider beautiful. The ears of many tit
the women are punched like sieves, in
order that they may hold rings of various
kinds. At Vol I saw a girl with corks,
each about as big around as my little fin
ger, put through holes in the rims of her
tars. She bad a great cork In each lobe,
nd three above that in each ear. There
'as a man beside her who had two long
ticks in his ears; and further up the
road I saw ono who had so stretched tho
lobe holes that a good sized tumbler could
have been passed through the.n. Incie 1.
I have a photograph of a man carrying
k jam pot, In bis ear.
As I write I can see an ebony African
with a bras collar around bis necu and
anklets on his legs. His only other gar
ment Is a strip of calico about the loins.
With him Is a man with a nose ring not
unlike that we use to keep pig. from
