Advantage, of . Material Ae.
When on remembers that this extraor
dinary masterpiece Is no longer packed
away In an Inaccessible part of a great
continent, so that the first European dls
coverers reached It tollfully by many
months, almost years, of travel, and that
even a short while since .the Journey was
an arduous one of several weeks-as one
thl.tks of then and now, when a comfort
able train lands one In a few hours at
well appointed hotel, and visitors from
England can go from London to the Zam
besl In as many daya as Livingston took
months one realises some of the mlven
tages of living In a material age. Without
comforts and facilities a very small num
ber of people would care to see the great
est works of Dame Nature ever made,
but with them there will surely be a
steadily increasing stream of pilgrims to
this shrine of beauty. It Is unfortunate
for the pilgrims that a misconception has
arisen as to the best season for the falls.
Circumstances made It Imperative that w
should go there In January, and for the
last five months we have received con
dolences on this, being assured that we
should find It unbearably hot and un
healthy. Assurances from one or two
men who hnd "been there" were regarded
as undue optimism, and we went with a
determination to tnake the best of It.
As a matter of fact we had Just missed
four wet days, but during the week we
were there we had one positively cool
day, and the others, though hot, were
cooled by a fresh breeze, and every even,
lng was cool and delightful with nlghta
cold enough for a blanket. The dampness
of the climate from the continual mist
clouds hanging over the falls Is very grate
ful after the dryness of the central Bouth
African plateau, and the absence of files
or Insects In the hotel rooms or verandas
Is a most pleasing feature.
Most of the people who have spent much
time in this region agree that Janunry is
the best month of the year. The climate
la much the same In December, but the
riven then Is still low, and the Cure of
the falls is therefore not so Impressive.
By the middle of January, however, the
falls have reached the point at which their
grandeur can be enjoyed without the draw
lec c, ii ,ded to by many writers, -t o- lig
almost continually enveloped In a drench
ing mist. Rainbows play continually
around, above and below, a light breeze
blows the cooling spray against one's
cli-rk or drifts it across the view, but one
la abia to get tUa moat perfect views,
looking from every point of vantage. In
February the rains may be expected and
the river rtaese Bteadlly, reaching Its fullest
height about the end of April, when the
cessation of the raina brings in the most
dangerous period In a tropical country.
The sun draws out from the wet earth
all thoae rcHlarlous properties which have
given the Zambesi valley a bat name.
Vl n the winter months of June and July
the best season, climatically, begins, there
ii frost at night, and even ice has been
seen. I am Inclined, from descriptions writ
ten at this time of year, to doubt whether
the beauty of tho falls is then at its ze
nith. Jn January everything is in full
green leaf, and the different tints of the
foliage in the surrounding country make
an e qulslte setting for the rletur-. liut
in the winter months, although the imme
diate neighborhood of the falls is perennl- I
ally green, the rest of the landscape is
burnt and brown. The most exquisite tints
of foliage come In the spring, about No
vember and December, when they resemble
in their warm pinks and yellows the au
tumn leafage of other climes.
The bridge alone, seen from the site of
the new hotel, obtrudes the presence of
man In thia scene, which might have oome
straight from the hands of the Creator.
One may deplore the necessity of a brl.lge,
but there can be no question that the site
has been chosen with a view not only to
engineering, but also from a sense of ar
tistic fitness. In Itself it is a graceful
structure, springing from the rocky sides
of the gorges In beautiful curves, and enn
blnlog lightness with strength In a man
ner which Is the last triumph of modern
brigemaklng.
The Battle with Nature.
A pleasure which the future visitor will
not be able to enjoy is ttvit of watching
the construction of this brldg. The hug
crce watch pick uy the :iuti aud lower
them gently Into place, while swarms of
men like flies rivet and fix them in posi
tion. t!'e hipv little cars running on wheels
or. overhead cables, which spin backward
:md toiwaid across the gorge, all the ro
mance of steam and electricity which do a
giant's work under the directing hand of a
man all this Is no small part of tho memo
ries which wo carried from our visit. In
the near future no sign of this battle with
nature will remain save the completed
bridge. The path of steel will run without
Interruption a hundred miles north of the
Zambesi, and the scar made on the earth's
surface will be covered with a mass of
rreen. It will seem as simple and easy as
running down to Scotland for R few days.
On the opposite bank of the river, some
miles above the falls, a township Is already
planned. Already several comfortable
houses are occupied by officials and men
connected with the construction works.

ARBOR DAY IS OBSERVED ON ALL HANDS
Both Letter and Spirit of the Otfraaton
Attract Public Attention aud
Many Lots Are Helng

"I think Arbor day Is better observed
than ever before," said I'resident Slabaugh
of the League of Improvement Clubs.
"The activity of private citizens in plant
ing trees and shrubbery Is noticeable all
over the city. Undoubtedly the work of
the Improvement clubs during the last sev
eral years has stimulated Arbor day and
helped to make it really full of accom
plishment and purpose."
The banks, library and city hall were
closed out of delerence to the tree-planting
day, founded by the late J. Sterling Mor
ton. Apart from these Institutions busi
ness went on about the same as usual.
Aa a spring housecleanlng and overhauling
is In progress at the city hull, the duy
was utilized to its utmost by the cleaners
In the absence of the regular tenants.
A number of real estate firms got busy
and set ont more or less trees and shrub
on property that It l desired to soil. The
leuders In this respect were fienson He
Carmichnel, who placed about 2" trees In
Uenaon, liensonhurat, Dundee and other
outlying localities. W..H. Gates set out
trees and shrubbery, aud other real estate
men announced that they were preparing
to do the same thing as an Investment, as
well as for beauty's sake.
"The residents in Trowpect Hill and
Omaha View are observing Arbor day In
good fashion." said Street Commissioner
Hummell. "Some of tho home owners are
very enthusiastic! and a few of them
threaten to make the Sixth ward one great
forest If they ki-ep up the pace. Improve
ment dub members all over the city are
planting the shoots, and there Is more doing
this way this Bpiing than ever before."
Local nurserymen report a heavier de
mand for tr-.cs and shrubs than ev;r be
fore experienced from within the city limits.
City Treasurer Henntngs b.gan his Ar
bor day celebration Friday by starting to
net out a large number of growing things
at his home on West Davenport street.
He was glad he could close his office to
day and give his undivided attention to
arboriculture.
