Mr. Jackson carife out here to fount big game about twenty-five year ago, and he j has t been on the ground from that time to . this.

' It is a great hlffh a Denver which1 n rn kwcd for three hundr frnn th country, and which rise almost straight up At two or - three hundred miles back v from the Indian ocean. On the north r the plateau dreys down to the deserts of Abyssinia and Somallland: on the ; vet it slopes gently to Victoria Ny anza, and on the south, maintaining its height, it Is lost in German Et 'Africa. Right through the middle of the plateau Is a mighty ditch known a the Great Rift Valley, which con tains five or six bl? lakes and about :it and on Its edges rise the volcanos of KIlMmanlaro, -Mount Elgon and Mount Kenla. . .. This country, altogether, is bigger han New England, added to New York, New Jersey. Pennsylvania, Del aware and Maryland. It ha a popula tion of four million natives, most of whom ten years ago were warring with one another. Some of the tribes made their 'living by preying upon their neighbors.1 Slavery was every where common, ana one mo icv -im-A mniM f Vie rrxvt-was not far , from, where : the .

We have an enormous territory and millions of people.: "We have not -.yet prospected the territory.'-nor have ie dealt long enough . with i i the natives to know ' what. wo can do with the people. We have really no idea aa yet as to just . what our resources are,; and . as to theJaborwe can secure to exploit them." . - "How many inhabitants have you? ''We do. not know.

Among them are the Massal.j a pas toral people j.ir ho deal altogether with cattle. The j Massai are noted for their warlike I propensities, and In I the paat their j children were trained . up to be warriors. Then there are the Wakikuyuj who-h.ave agricultural iten dencles. They have small farms and are industrious. They live all about here,, and you will go through their country on your way to Lake Vic toria. In addition there are the Nandi and many other natives who are both farmers and jstockT rearers. ! Altogether these people are ; in' a low state Of civilization. Indeed, it is imost lmpospiDie to conceive now ittr down on the scale of the world b prog ress they are. They have practically no wants.! ! A! strip of cotton cloth tuf flcea for the clothkng of a man and he can earn enough for his food in a very short timev i Before we can do much With these people we must make them have wants and give them the desire for accumulation. We must begin right at the bottom, and it will be! a long trtno; before we cai turn them Into, consumers of foreign goods 1 or Into a valuable 4aborlng class. . Indeed, our natives' are much - worse in these respects than those of Uganda. There the people cover their bodies with clothes of one kind or another. They are intelligent, and many of them will work to get-money" j 1 East Africa for White Men. , ( j i "How about your white settlers? Will thin countryjever be inhabited by Caucasians?" . . v i ; "That, again,, is difficult to say re plied the conservative governor. "We have a few European settlers- already, but whether, we can make this colony A second South; Africa remains to! be seen. I have lived here for over twen ty years, and I am nofsure a to how far any white man can do hard manual labor in this latitude, i It is true J we are more than a mile abpve the iiea, but nevettheless we are on the equator, and the equator is not fitted for th e white man. The only Europeans who will succeed here will be those who bring some money with them, and who will use the native labor inthelr work. I don't think any settler should come to. East Africa: without he has as much as three thousand dollars, reckoning the amount of your money. He should have enough to buy his land, stock it, build' his house, and. then have some thing to go on. He should not start out with a very small. tract. Much of the grazing, land are now being divid ed ud into, tracts , of five thousand acres, and we are selling tracts of One thousand acres at v cento per acre. If a man takes the" first thousand and pays for it, the 1 other four thousand are held for him subject to certain Im provements and developments j upon the first thousand. After these are completed he may , buy the remaining tract at the prtceiej acre of the first thousand acr." I" Big Hand.

If the, land is for grazing the larger .rea is desirable. If it is fcx grain farming or dairying, it 1 better that it should be small. As to our large landholders, the British East Africa Company owns about five hundred square miles, Lord Delamere has about one hundred thousand acres rand.

My treatment is not a patent med icine, or a cure all, but it is a treat ment that will be prescribed especi ally for your particular jcase after a careful diagnosis of your condition. True It will contain oxygen to kill deadly germs that infest your blood and tissues. Oxygen is the life of your blaod. It gives vitality to the 'red blood corpuscles, and fills you with vim and vigor, but it is death to bacteria and disease germs. . My nerve treatment will contain artificial nerve force, which is the nearest approach to. natural living nerve force that has ever been dis covered. It is truly marvelous how this artificial nerve forte takes the place of the natural nerve force, and gives you wonderful strength and power. My treatment will also con tain special remedies carefully pre scribed to suit your . particular condi tion, prescribed by a . careful physi cian. I also use marvelous Psy-Phy Force which I believe is. the most wonder ful healing power known to man. This mightily unseen force of such tremendous potency Is. a Drvine gift within the reach of all, and In years past people who accldently stumbled on it and employed lit, were regarded a. privileged by the Creator, ;and their power was considered super natural, because It could not be ex plained, and yet this great power, mighty as it is, is absolutely harm less, incapable of producing injury? a sleeping giant that aequireA but lit tle effort to make it your slave. The fabled Genii of Aladdin's wonderful lamp possessed a power which I be lieve was scarcely greater than that which 'I. can reveal to you. .

Phllosphers - and metaphysicians have been compelled to admit that they cannot fathom its secrets. You may attribute it to. rehabilitation of nerve force, re-establishment of vital mag netic energy, psychic power ror what you will -the fact remains that pa tients in utter despair have claimed that they have been restored to health by this wonderful treatment when all other things failed. Mrs. N. W. Bowden, of Xew Bern, X. C-, says: "One year ago I was in a -dying condition. Three doctors had given me up to die. I tried Force of Life, and today I am a well woman. I thank God for the day that treat ment was sent to hie' Here is also a letter from Mrs. j Hannah Peters, of Harrisburg, Pa., you may read it yourself. Mrs. Peters says: 'I thank our Heavenly : Father for guiding me to you, and for the good health you have restored ' to me. I would have been in my grave had it not been for you. Your treatment ha certainly cured me completely." Then take the .case of Mr. Hyatt.

The plant which produces the Sansivera fiber Is Indigenous to this country, and it is being exploited by Americans who arv vorking not far .from the sta tion of Voljabout one hundred mile inland frwni the Indian ocean.

("We have vast herds of antelopes, gnu! and other wild animals. We have so many zebras that they have become a serious trouble to the farmers and stockmen. They move about in herds of hun dreds and sometimes of thousands. They are easily frightened, will go off on the gallop, rushing against the wire fences about the farms ahd breaking them down. They will run Into barbed wire with puch force as to tear it ff om the staples and crack off the posts At present we have great game preserves where no shooting i can be done.

The same is true oC the rhinoceros and the hippopotami, which are found in many parts of East Africa." A Land of Coffee. i Speaking of the possibilities of British East Africa, it may be one of the coffee lands of the future. Sev eral plantations have -been set out!' not far from here and they are doing well. There is one coffee estate with in five miles of Xalrobi, which belongs to the Catholic Mission of the Holy Ghost I rode out on horseback yes terday over the prairie to havej a look at it The way to the estate is through fenced fields, which are spot ted here and there with the galvan ized iron cottages of j English settlers. As I rode on I saw many humped Seat tle grazing in the pastures. The grass 1 everywhere tall and thick, and the red soil, although not much cultivated as yet, seems rich. ' j Arriving at the plantation. I was met by Father Tom Burke and walk ed with him through hi coffee plan tation, it coyers altogether something like fifteen thousand acres, and baa now more than felght thousand trees in full bearing. The yield la good and the plantation is now supplying not only the town of Nairobi with all the coffee It needs, but 1 shipping several ion every year to Europe.! Father .Burke tells me that the coffee tree begin to bear at a year and a half and that they are in full bearing at four years. The ripening Season 1 long and j the berries "rave to be picked many times. I ? saw blossofn and green and ripe berries on the same tree. In one place the natives were picking, at another they were hdelng, the plants, and In another they Were pulping the berries ini a pulper ! turned by hand, i The' trees seem thrffty. Father Burke says that the young plants grow easi ly and that wherje the birds carry the the; berries away) and drop the seeds the; plants will prout up of them selves. There is a coffee plantation nearby of 80,000 trees, and I am told that there I a fair prospect of a con siderable coffee Industry springing up. tltr'. Mrn World for a Nlckle a Day. While on this plantation I saw many half-naked negroes at work in the field. Thev were Waklblkuyus, and were really fine loovlnc fellow They were clearing new ground, chop ping down the Weeds with mattocks and digging up tje soil and turning it over. The t swseat stood in beads upon their brows anj upon their; bare backs, and It also ran down their bare leg. I asked .tfc father as to their wages and was tfold that they each received four rupees a month, a ru pee is 33 cents, and this means Just about 33 cent . a jveek or less than s cents a day of te$ hours. I suggest ed; to the reverenjj father that the pay was small, but hf said i that the na tive could not earn more than that sum, and that even at those wages It was difficult to keep them, at work. L hear this same statement made everywhere. The English people here tMnk that the native Africans are well enough paid at the rate of half a (cent per hour, or of i a rupee per mbnth.
