BUFFALO IS DANGEROUS GAME A Critieal Moment In the Hunt— Dance of the Whydah Birds—- Evening View of Nairobi Fa The buffalo is by many hunters esteemed the most dangerous of African game, It Is an enormously powerful beast with, in this country, & coat of black halr which be- | comes thin In the old bulls, and massive horns which rise into great bosses at the base, these bosses sometimes meeting In ©old age s0 as to cover the forehead with a | frontiet of horn. Their habits vary much | in Qitferent places. Where they are much | persecuted, they lle In the densest cover and only venture out into the open to feed #t night. But Heatley, though he himselt had killed & couple of bulls, and the Boer farmer who was working for him another, had preserved the herd from outside mo- lJestation, and thelr habits were doubtless much what they would have been in re- #lons where mah is rare visitor The first day we were on Heatley's farm | we saw the buffalo, to the number of sey- | enty or elghty, grazing in the open, some | hundreds of yards from the papyrus | awamp, and this shortly after noon. For a mile from the papyrus swamp the r‘uunlryi was an absolutely flat plain, gradually ris- closer approach was impossible, and we fired. Both the leading bulls were hit, and at the shots there rose from the grass not hglf a dozen buffalo, but seventy or gighty, and started at a gallop parallel /to the swamp and across our front. In the rear were a number of cows and calves, and 1 at once singled out a dow and fired. She plunged forward at the shot and turned toward the swamp, golug slowly and dead lame, for my bullet had struck the shoulder and had gone into the cavity of the chest, But at this moment our attention was dis- tracted from the wounded cow by the con- duct of the heard, which, headed by the wounded bulls, turned in a quarter circle toward us and drew up in phalanx facing us with outstretched heads. It was not a nice country In which to be charged by the herd, and for & moment things trembled In the balance. There was a perceptible motion of uneasiness ‘among some of our followers. “Stand steady! Don't run!" I called out. “And don't shoot!" called out Cuninghame; for to do elther would Invite | a charge. A few seconds passed, and then the unwounded mass of the herd resumed | their flight, and after a little hesitation the wounded bulls followed. * * * Dance of the Wiydah Birds But the most interesting birds we were the black whydah finches. male {8 a dull-colored, ordinary looking {blrd, somewhat like a female bobolink. | The male In his courtship dress Is clad In a uniform dark, glossy suit, and his | tall feathers are almost like some of those of a barnyard rooster, being over twice as long as the rest of the bird, with a| downward curve at the tips. The females | were generally found in flocks, in which | there would often be a goodly number of males also, and when the flocks put on | w The fe- ing Into a gentle slope, and it was an im- possibility to approach the buffalo across this plain save In one way to be mentioned Hereafter. Probably when the moon was Bl the buffalo came out to graze by night. But while we were on our hunt the moon Wwas young. and the buffalo evidently spent most of the night In the papyrus, and eame out to graze by day. Sometimes they eame out in the early morning, sometimes In the late evening, but quite as often in the bright daylight. We saw herds come Qut to grase at 10 o'clock In the morning, and again at 3 In the afternoon. They usually remained out several hours, first grasing and then lying down. * ¢ ¢ A Critleal Mowment. We crept up the watercourse until about te the buffalo, whieh were now lying ppos! lown, Cuninghame peeved cautiously at | , saw there were two or three, and then led us on all fours toward them There were patches where the grass was short, and other places where It was three feet high, and after a good deml of cau- tious crawling we had cgyered half the ais- tance toward them, when one of them made us out, and several rose from thelr beds. They were still at jeast 20 yurds bff & long range for heavy rifies; but any speed the males tended to drop behind. | The flocks were feeding In Heatley's grain | | flelds, and he was threatening vengeance | |upon them. I was sorry, for the male | | birds certalnly have habits of pecullar In- | | tevest. They were not ghy, although it we | | approached too near them in their favorite | | haunts, the grassiand adjoining the papyrus | | beds, they would fiy off and pereh on the tops of the papyrus stems. The long | tal hampers the bird in fts flight, and it | |1s often held at rather an angle down- | ward, giving the bird a pecullar and al- | most insect-like appearance. But the | marked and extraordinary pecullarity was | the custom the cocks had of dancing In | artificially made dancing-rings. For a| |mile and a half beyond our camp, down the course of the Kamit, the grassland at the edge of the papyrus was thickly strewn | with these duncing rings. Each Was about | two feet in_diameter, sometimes more, sometimes leds. A tuft.of growing grasa perhaps & foot high was left .In the cen- | ter. Over the rest of the ring the grass | was cut off close by the roots and the blades strewn evenly over the surface of | the ring. The cock bird would then alght | the ring and.hop up to & hetght of a | couple of test, wings spread and motion: less, tall drooping and the head usually thrown back. * ¢ * Nairobi Falls. The Nairobi falls, which were on Heat- ley's ranch, were singularly beautiful. Heitley and I visited them one evening after sunset, coming home from a day's hunt. It was a ride 1 shall long remember. We left our men, and let the horses gallop. As the sun set behind us, the long lights changed the look of the country and gave it & beauty that had in it an element of the mysterious and the unreal. The moun- tains loomed both larger and more vague than they had been in the bright sunlight, and the plains lost their look of parched desolation as the afterglow came and went. We were galloping through a world of dim shade and dying color; and, In this world, our horses suddenly halted in the brink of a deep ravine from out of which came the thunder of a cataract. We reined up on a | Jutting point. The snowy masses of the fall foamed over a ledge on our right, and be- | low at our feet was a great pool of swir ing water. Thick follaged trees, of strange shape and festooned with creepers, climbed the sheer sides of the ravine. A black- and-white cagle perched in a blasted tree- top In front; and the bleached skull of a long-dead rhinoceros glimmered white near the brink to one side. On another occasion we took our lunch @t the foot of Rewero falls. These are not as high as the falls of the Nairobl, but they are almost as beautiful. We clam- | bered down Into the ravine a little distance below and made our way toward them, be- | side the brawling, rock-choked torrent. Great trees towered overhead, and among thelr tops the monkeys chattered and screeched. The fall itself was broken in two parts like a miniature Niagara, and the spray curtain shifted to and fro as the wind blew.—Theodore Roosevelt in February Scribner. OMAHA VIEW SCHOOL IN USE New Building is Occupled by Tea from the Old One. The new Omaha View school at Thirtieth | and Binney streets has been oceupled by the teachers Ing at Thirty-second and Corby. buliding contalns sixteen rooms, but for the present only ten rooms will be occu- pled. As soon as the manual training equip- ment can be bought and Installed by the school board two rooms will be devoted (o this purpose. It Is expected that the other four roomy will be required after the sum- mer vacation, because of the fact that many éhildren who properly belong in the Omaha View school are now atfending Druld Hill and Lothrop schools. What Is to be done with the old Omaha View bullding not yet been decided by the school authortties, but there Is some talk of turning the material in it over to the superintendent of construction for the construction uf & service butlding.

COURSE IS FIVE YEARS LONG Wide Difference Between Old and New Way of Training—Chances for Young Men on American Merchant Ships. NEW YORK, aJn, 28.—nI the days when clipper ships sailed’ the seas the training |of a young man anxious to become a master mariner consisted of heart break- Ing work, curses and blows, and some- times real torture. The result wus good | secamanship, stanch nerve and a whole lot of daring, but a lack of the business ability and education necessary in the mod- ern ship's officer. In those days the be- |ginner was termed an apprentice and |called “boy” by the crew; today he f |called a cadet and the sailor uses in addressing him. This does not mean that the modern ecadet sallor goes to sea through the cabin windows. He works very hard, mentally and physically, as do the students of technical schools on shore, and the re- |sults have been such as to satisfy the requirements of the present merchant | marine service. When he finlshes his five years of cadetship he is a capable |seaman and navigator and versed In marine finance. Under the present law all United States mail ships are required to include In thelr |crews one cadet for each 1000 tons or fraction thereof of the ship's registered tonnage. The cadet’s duties are to study | seamanship and navigation. He Is a | pointed by the general agent for a school- |ing of five years, during which his pay arles from $10 to $30 a month. Outfit and Quarters, | At the beginning of his apprenticeship the cadet must be provided with good warm underwear, two uniforms, heavy |and light weight, of the design prescribed by the company, a storm coat, seaman's | jumpers and overalls for work, a pair of | hip boots, & sou'wester and oflskins and {1f the line runs to the troples, an outfit of | White duck uniforma, | The cadets are assigned to the officers’ mess for meals'and to one large stateroom |for quarters, in which is a single berth |for each and lockers and drawers. The room s simply furnished with a few chairs and tables; it Js'comfortable and during his hours of watch the cadet is as well equipped for study as the student on shore. As s00n as the ship sails the cadet Is as- slgned to & watch, and from then on his bours for rest and work are regular, but broken. On a first class liner there are three watches, the port, starboard and miz- zen, and on a second class ship, there are two, the port and starfoard. On the former the cadet has four hgurs on and efght off duty; on the latter four on and four off. The cadet during his first year of service is of very little use to the company. To himgelt his duties are disagreeable and la= borious. If he goes to sea through the cabin windows as regards his mode of liv- ing on shipboard he certainly does not do 80 In his work. The first year is really his crucial test, and If he passes through it with the romance of his profession still un- dimmed he has won half the battle. For one thing he will have realized that the | profession of master mariner is not that ot the sea captain of former days, but a mod- ern calling equal to any on shore. His Lite on Shipboard. At the beginning of the morning watch, a can of brickdust, and with these he scours the brass deck fittings which may have be- come corroded in port. If he overiooks the smallest’ plece on either side of the ship the boatswain, that knocker and booster of | sallors, doesn't, and the boy usually doesn't forget the experience. It is & slow and te- dious process, but once thoroughly cleaned the dally polishing keeps them bright. By the time he finishes this task it is noon and he is at liberty to go below until his next watch. The noon watch involves as miscellane- ous an assortment of work. Holystoning comes in once a week. The cadet gets down on his knees with the sallors and for four hours pushes back and forth a twelve- Inch block of sandstone, five inches thick and five inches deep, over the wet sanded surface of the deck. He may wonder at the idea of such back-breaking work, but when he takes his broom and follows the boatswaln with the hose he soon sees how spotless the boards have become. Some times there 1s painting, mending of salls or awnings, or tarring the rigging. Very of‘en when the work s slack the boatswain takes him aldft for a bit of ex- with a plece” of rope, he Instructs the youngster in all kinds of knots and spiices. Decks are swept down at 4:00 p. m., halllards are recolled, and the ship made as neat as a new pin. He s taught how important it is to make things shipshape on deck and below for the night and before the watch is relléved by the second dog walch at 6 p. m., they have secured all hatches and everything movable on deck. The duties of the first night wateh and the midnight watch are the same, merely to navigate the ship, and the cadet is posted’ on the bridge with the officer of his watch where he gains many hours of s0lld experfence. Six Bells a Terror. Four o'clock In the morning is a madden- ing hour to the cadet when he is on the second night watch. At that time he is 8 a. m, if it Is his first day out, he gets ui can of kerosene, a bunch or rope yarn and ercise, or selects some quiet corner where, | by the rough shake of a sailor of the re- tirlng watch. Out on deck the cold and damp sea alr gets into his very marrows though he is clad In hip boots and ollskin, but he gets good exercise in the process of washing down decks. In port he has a comparatively easy job. He 18 elther stationed at the gangway at Right or he checks’ cargo during the day with a patent reglster. During the first and second years of his service the cadet is allowed two furloughs of elght days each in which to visit his home. : In his third and fourth years he logks back with disdain or pity on the ignorance of the plebes who may follow in his foot- steps. For him there Is no more brass cleaning, he has become elevated to the rating of able seaman, and in the night watches he has some responsibility. He is placed elther aloft in the crow's nest or forward on the lookout bridge, according to the construction of the ship, but from either place It 18 his duty to sing out every light that is sighted. His studles, too, have Increased, and the books that crowd his table cover seaman- ship, the International rules of the high seas, ship etiquette, the international code of signals, mathematics, charts., ele- mentary astronomy and elementary meteo- rology. He has also a list of ol to break heavy seas, use of kedge pamphlets on the devices for safety at sea, easing ship, steadying ship, use of anchors, and the aberration of sound in fogs. He is, In fact, a busy man, and he begins to feel that he is a useful part of the little world In which he moves. His Sentor Year. The fifth and senior year, called the year of dawning sense, the cadet’ passes out of the boatswain's hands entirely. The first half of the year s spent at the wheel with the quartermaster, and sometimes, If the line is shorthanded he s appointed as such with the larger pay. This experience gives him practice In keeping the ship on its course as well as training him In the courses the line usually runs from port to port. The second half of the year he spends with the officer on the bridgé. He takes the full part of the navigator for practico only, and at noon, when the observation of the sun is taken, he, too, has his own sextant and charts, marks his own calcu- | lations and lays his own course, and then submits them to the chiet officer for in- spection. The calculation of cargo capaclty and storage is an important factor, also the methods of lashing cargo and what to do in case of a shift. What gives the most pride is that he is assigned a post of com- mand in best drills, fire drills and aban- don ship drills. He must acquire a thor- ough knowledge of the laws pertalning to shipping, Including international maritime law, and he must display & general in- telligence concerning the causes of change in maritime | Spitzenber | Russets . e put it briefly, he must be versed in marine finance. If there s no vacancy in the line at his graduation, which seldom happens in the larger companies, he is usually taken care of In some capacity. The company realizes that'a cadet who has shown aptitude makes a good and efficlent officer, APPLES GROWN IN AMERICA ARE POPULAR IN IRELAND Belfast and Other Cities Conmsume Large Quantities of Second Grade Fruit. Apples grown in America are cheaper in Ireland than in this country, according to the face of the returns, but the con- sular report says the grade sold In Ire- land is somewhat Inferior and that there would be a splendid market for second quality apples grown on tha Pacific coast. Beifast consumes 3,000 barrels of apples & week, of which 1,00 come from the United States and 2,000 from Canada. The report says there are few extensive apple markets in the world in which such & low quality of apples Is to be found as in Belfast. Over 80 per cent are of a grade far below the first quality of fruit and everything seems to find a sale at some price. “Uncolored, very small, Immatured and withered apples are seen generally on the stands, apples which the Paocific coast apple grower would not gather from the ground bring a price here."
