o f Kant Africa,
iluiitlui: In America
la a sport, something to be played at:
hunting In Africa Is n trade, almost n
liroicHHlon, In America one merely
tultes n rifle and goes out. to shoot. In
Africa, to limit a la mode, one takes
a hntlery of arms, usuully thrco mid
BomotlmeH ifmir. high power, rifles of
different caliber, ranging from a six
and five-tenths millimeter to a COO
cordllo express. Tho cartridges for
thC8o rifles are charged with varl
otis bullets, solid nickel, steel, aoft
noso long, soft noso short and unlit
J- Each of these bullets was designed
by expert h for a npeclal use, and on
tho way they are used depends tho
success of one's Hluit. Often tho uso
or (ho unsuitable bullet ends In the
huntcr'x death. On small game the
light caliber nrm, six five-tenths mill!
motor, Ih miuH. and on large and dan
gorous game the nlno millimeter Man
Her nnd 000 caliber cordite express
give the best results. The last-named
rlflo strikes tho enormous blow of
8,700 pounds, and has a recoil of close
on n hundred weight. That the man
whoso hunting experiences has been
confined to bird shooting with shot
guns, or small game, with, say, a 1)2
caliber rlflo, may understand the
meaning! of these figures, lot mo state
that tho ordinary U2-cnllber rlflo has
a recoil of perhaps ton to twelve
pounds. The doublo-barrelcd shot
gun, which to tho ordinary hunter
seems to have all tho "kicking" ca
paclty nny weapon needs, has a re
noil of from 25 to SO. pounds.
Tho GOO caliber cordite express la
the most deadly hand nrm mudo.

HtlluH of varlou caliber aro carried
for economy. It Ih cheaper to use n
Rtnall six (1 volant hn millimeter rllla
on small gumi1, a nine millimeter on
medium gumo, and a 600 oxproa on
big game, than to enrry one weapon
for all-round work, which would have
lo bo big enough at least for the
larKoat i;ame. N'othInK smaller than
a 4150 expreaa would do for that, and
It would bo distinctly uneconomical,
not to say foolish, to shoot n small
antolopn, tho size of ti goat, with a
COO express. It would be like using
u pile driver to kill a mosquito. Again,
cartridges become Vtry costly by tho
time they reach tho Interior of Africa.
A cartridge for a COO express rlflo, for
Instance, costing .sixpence (II! cents)
In London, reaches an enormous price
by tho time It gets Into tho hunting
grounds of Africa. I have seen thorn
bring Ave shillings ($1.20) each, and
t-ry scarce at that, Nor is this such
an extravagant price when one takes
Into consideration that every ounce
has to be carried by portors who plod
for mouths through swamps, across
rivers, ovor mountalnM.'traverHlng tho
parched veld and penetrating the dis
mal forest, often fighting their way
foot by foot boforo they reach their
destination. It Is easy to soe that
weight Is an Important factor In cart
ridge economics. Four six live-tenths
millimeter cartridges aro equal In
weight to one GOO express, That is, It
Is four deaths against one, for tho
same weight.
These are the things President

tho slimy, poisonous spnrs of tho
natives, make hunting In Africa no
gatno for the chlcken-heartod.
Of course, hunting as a business Is
one thing and hunting for pleasure is
another. It Is possible. to kill African
gnmo to a limited extent without tho
slightest hardship. One can go on
safari accompanied by natives who do
all the work, even to carrying tho
sportsman In a hammock up to the
game, selecting the correct rifle,
loading with the proper ammunition,
pointing out the place to shoot at
and handing tho hunter tho weapon.
Tho hunter merely pulls the trigger,
after seeing that them aro a number
of shikarees (nntlvo hunters) in
readiness to protect him should
ho miss his mark nnd the game
charge. As often as not he misses,
a shikaree shoots the game, and
his employer gets tho credit. It
Is the dangerous sldo only of African
hunting that has ony attractions for
tho man with any sporting Instincts
In him, and It Is only that sldo or

I wnn troklng between Lalco Albert
I3dwnrd N'Ynnza and Lake Klvu, tho
gieatest stretch of hunting ground In
tho world, with a caravan of a hun
dred men. Wo hnd marched steadily
through tho early part or tho day and,
now that tho merciless white-hot sun
wnB directly overhead, I called a halt,
Kach member or tho caravan threw
himself down In the uhude excepting
my shikaree Nick, a "boy" from the
other side or tho continent, a native
or Senegal. Ho never rested, and, as
he got a percentage ot tho Ivory we
socured, ho never lot tho solos of his
feet grow soft for want of exorcise.
About an hour passed before Nick
same swinging Into camp with his
white teeth gloaming like now swords.
I know by his smile that there was
something afoot. He walked straight
to my olophant guns and beckoned
mo. I know ho had struck u rresh
spoor (trail). Seizing my arms, I
signaled my gun bearer and struck
out, Nick leading.
If there are any elephants about at
midday, the hunter is pretty imro to
make a good bag, for at that time
they rest out. of tho direct rays of
the sun, dozing the hot hours away,
and nro easily approached.
A Terrible Battle with Elephants.
After half an hour's walk through
grass that was ut least 20 feet high,
wo camo across a herd of about
twonty olophants, among which there
were some fluo bull tuskers. As I ox
poctod, they woro nil rostlng out ot
tho suu. They wore difficult to got at
on account or tho thickness of tho
undergrowth. It meant a long, pa
tient crawl to n good shooting posi
tion, for to shoot at anything but
close quarters In such country meant
that tho bullet would be deflected by
the hush. I put n solid nickel hall in
tho right barrel of my GOO caliber ox
press for a head shot, and a soft nose
split In tho loft barrel for a body shot.
With tho shlknreu at my side and the
gun bearer nt my back, wo crept
silently, inch by inch, root by root,
through the hugo tufts of grass till n
good view of the game presented It
self. 1 took off my coat and hat, hung
them on n low limb nnd crawled a
few yards farther on. As I could not
get a vital shot at any of the ele
phants in thulr lying position, I gave
a sharp whistle. In an Instant they
were upon their feet thrusting their
trunks up In the nlr to get a scent of
their enemies and holding out their
enormous oars to cutch tho slightest
sound. At Inst nn old bull worked
into tho right position. I aimed at
his weakest point, between the eyo
nnd car, and gave him the solid shot.
My aim was had; a ploco or his tusk
Hew Into the air. With a roar ho
charged down on mo Ilka an ava
lanche. I leveled my express for a second
shot and tho natives stood ready.
Down he came, the grass waving be
fore him In billows. I waited 50, 40,
:!0, 20 ynrds, another second's sus
pense and bang! I gave him tho Boft
bullet full In tho chest. It failed to
stop him. A screeching roar of pain
burst from tho charging monster and
blood gushed from his trunk. I
snatched my Mauser and jumpod
asldo ns ho passed. My hat and coat,
which woro n fow yards behind, at
tractod his attention. With a snort
of oatlsractlon ho crushed them down.
1 gave him all my Mauser shots In
tho ronr. With extraordinary sudden
ness ho turned. Ho sighted mo and
chnrged, his tUBks level with his body.
My magazine was empty. I throw my
rifle down nnd ran, the elephant gain
ing on mo at each step. I saw Nick
ahead or nic with leveled rlflo.
To keep running monnt that I
would soon be overtaken. Instinctive
ly I throw myself on the ground nnd
Nick tired. With a thud thnt mude
tho earth trcmblo tho elephant
dropped. Tho huge trunk twisted like
n wounded snake for a moment, and
then the gigantic, body rolaxed In
death. It all took about two minutes
to happen and was a protty close
shave, but It wan worth the trouble,
for tho tusks wo got woro big, weigh
ing closo to n hundred pounds.
The Killing of Nick, Hunter Boy.
A toy months after this occurrence,
on tho same trip, I lost Nick, my
Senegal "boy," under terrible clrcutn
utanceH. This brave man who had
hunted everything In Africa from tho
Capo to Cairo, and from X.unzlbar to
llanana, boasted many a ttmq that he
would never bo killed by anything but
old ago. Hut ho wus too sure; Loug
association with dangur had mndo
him careless, and this cost him his
llfo.
Wo wore treklng south toward Lake
Tanganyika nlong a native path run
ning parallel with tho Kusizl river. It
was frightfully hot, so hot that tho
gun barrels burned our hands. Tho
porters staggored under their heavy
loads in a loug string, mumbling
songs, each In his native tongue, to
kocp up his fagged spirits, and the
suu rays danced In misty vibrations
from tho parched earth. Suddenly the
Jungle ceased and we broke Into tho
open yeld. Kour hundred yards away,
coming, In tho opposito direction, was
a herd of at least twenty olophants.
They had ovldently nindo a long Jour
ney nnd woro aufforlng from tho In
tonso heat. Some of them woro occu
pied in thrusting their trunks into
their mouths and drawing water from
their stomachs. With this water they
woro Bprlnkllng their sunburned
hacks, This Is a habit thnt elephants
nlwnys practlco when they are over
hoatcd and cannot find the shade of u
friendly forest.
To mo tho sight of tho approaching
herd was welcome. I saw Ivory which
meant thouaunds of dollars to ua If
wo could get In a row good shots, I
ordered my caravan back Into tho un
drtrgrowth, and, bringing up tho shik
arees, prepnred ror the slaughter,
loaded my nlno millimeter Mauser
with solid bullets for long shots. At
300 ynrds I opened fire and the leader
a fine bull, dropped In his tracks. The .
crack of my rifle threw tho herd Into '
consternation. They were not surd
where tho nolso came from, nnd they
as yet had not caught sight of us
After u little Indecision they kept on
the old route and marched toward us
A hundred yards nearer and I gnv6
the nearest, another bull, my second
shot. It went wild. He shrloked nnd
throw his trembling head back and
forth frantic with pain. I had ovl
dontly given him n bad face wound. 1
fired again and must have missed. He
saw me, and, trumpeting loudly,
charged down on us. rollowed by the
whole herd, I emptied my tnaga.lnf
Into thorn with no effect. Nearer they
came, their Ivory gloaming in the sun
nnd the dust curling up In clouds be
hind them. The ground vibrated like
a beaten drum top under their thun
derous charge.
I sow a tusk-crested wave or mam
moths sweeping down to destroy us
It was no time ror Inaction. The gun
hearer handed me tho COO caliber ex
press. At n hundred ynrds 1 gave the
leader one barrel after the other. IU
fell, and those behind tumbled ovot
hint In a heap. Ir a moment thti
mnd charge was broken. I thought
wo wore out of danger, but anothei
leader forged ahead and boro down
on us. "ftun!" I shrieked, nnd every
mnn made for Baroty, excepting Nick,
the coolent In tho race or danger and
always the Inst to run. I threw my
self behind a tree, Just escaping bo
lug crushed to death. A screech rose
above (ho thunder of tho hoors nnd
the next instant I saw Nick hoisted
Into the nlr with a blood-stnlned tusk
through his body. Tho Infuriated
mass swept past, leaving a red
marked trail. I Immediately set out
on (he upoor ol tho herd In hope ol
getting tho body or tho shlknree. Al
though I searched till sundown I was
unsuccessful.
Thnt night I heard tho lions roar
ing down toward tho river. The next
morning, with a few natives, I con
tinned the search, in the direction
that the lions' routs came from dur
lng tho night. Wo soon sighted a
flOcH of. .vultures, n sure sign ot dead
game, and, coming up with them, we
found tho chewed carcass of an el
phunt and the scntterod bones of t
human being, among which I found
Nick's hunting knife and belt. Tht
wounded olophant had carried him oc
his tusk till It fell exhausted through
loss ot blood, and died. It was ono ol

TAKES TOLL OF HUMAN LIVES
Venturesome Explorers of Grand Can
yon of the Colorado in Con
stant Danger.
"Kvery year tho river and the Grand
Canyon of tho Colorado tako their tor
In human llfo," recently said Freder
lck S. Dollenbnugh, tho nrtist-scholar
who has painted pictures and written
books nbout that wonderful river that
rushes for hundreds ot miles througt
gorges hundrods of feet deep.
"When I was with Major I'owoll on
his exploring expedition through tht
Grand canyon 40 years ago wo losl
several men, and tho few other expo
dltlonB that hnvo followed ours since
then all havo had to pay the river tht
prlco In tho same way," ho continued
"Powell's party was the first Joumoj
whlto men over made down througt
that perilous portion of tho Coloradc
river, and almost every day of the
mnny months It took us was full ol
danger. Every year some lives ar
lost there. Two years ago n skeleton
of a man was discovered In Marble
canyon lying on a rocky shelf a little
abovo tho whirling waters of the
river. A newspaper dated In 1900 was
in tho pocket of his coat, so that It
was llkoly tho mnn perished eight
years ago nt least. Whether ho was
killed while trying to scale the Insur
niountablo walls or whether he died
or starvation no one knows,
"That part of tho Colorado rlvei
never gives up Its dead. Thoso whe
tall Into tho water'B clutches literally
are dashed to pieces,. and no trace ol
them evor is round.
"Tho Whirlpool rapids or tho Ni
agara river below tho Tails aro terri
ble to contemplate, but It can be said
without exaggeration that the Niag
ara rapids arc peaceful waters com
pared to some of the long stretches
of foam on the Colorado. Tho whirl
pools of tho Colorado arc of the true
typo the water Bwlrls round and
round nnd there Is a broad, hollow
funnel-shaped hole In the contor of
them through which ono might peer
down u good many feet If he could
hover over It.
"Not nil the canyon's toll, however,
Is collected by tho river. No ono
knows what Immeasurable mineral
wealth is hidden In tho canyon walls,
nnd every year venturesome prospect

lug the treasuroB that thoy guard.
These men, through somo sudden risa
of water or for somo other roason,
frequently loso their lives In trying
to escape from tho canyou, Most of
them, I fancy, go mad with hunger
nnd die In trying to scalo tho preci
