History of Civilization.
One of the most extraordinary events
at has characterized the last half of the
cscrt century Is the extermination, the
Zr ng zU of the American bison. Thero

hen a few bones and pictures will alone
J the story of a mighty race swept
om the face of the earth by the civilized
ecple cf the 19th century.
That so many of these animals could
ave been killed in mere wantonness seems
rrccLble when their vast numbers are
called. We first hear of the biEon from
cricz and his followers, in 152L Monte-
uma had one in a zoological garden, the
pecimen, in all probability, having been
auht -n Coahuila. In 1530 Cabeza saw
hem In Texas, and in 1512 Coronado found
herd in what Is now the Indian terri-
ory; one of his officers describing them
horx.blo beasts that demoralized thtj
orscs. In 1612 Sir bamuel Argoil ob-
erved herds of bison near the national
pltal, and, in all probability, 2S7 years
igo herds of bison grazed on the site of
he cip.tol building at "Washington. In
C73 Tather Hennepin observed them In
hat Is now Northern Illinois, and in Oc-
obcr, 129, Colonel W. Bird saw herds in
crth Carolina and Virginia,
These and other facts have provided
ala iy which the early geographical dis-
-t.jn of the bison has been determined,
r.J It Is known that this grand animal,
hat .s today represented by a few indl-
.d.n-s, formerly ranged in millions from
o A lantlc seaboard to the Gulf of Mcx-
co, from Texas to the Great Slave lake,
nl as far west as Central Nevada. As
o the r liumbers, they were like the sands
f t .e seashore, and the accounts given
y those who hunted them 20 or SO years
go, today seem like vagaries of a disord
ered Imagination.
Tlieir Incredible Abundance.
Mr. Hornaday, who has hunted in South
.nd Central Africa, whore game is re-
arkably plentiful, states that the bison
f this country previous to 1S70 exceeded,
all probability, all the African game of
very kind. An army officer In service on
he plains in 1SS7 stated to the writer that
n one occasion he was surrounded by buf-
alocs, and that from the top of a small
ill he could see nothing but a black mass
f their bodies. It was impossible to es-
t.max their numbers, and the party were
n great fear lest they should be caught In
E-cxnpcde, the rush being Irresistible.
Colonel Dodge, in hi& memoirs, states
that on one occasion he rode 25 miles in
kansas, always being in a herd of buf
faloes, or many small herds, with but a
smell separating strip between them. The
.nlmals paid but little attention to him.
merely moving slowly out of the way or
advancing, bringing the whole herd ot
thousands down on him with the roar of
an avalanche. This he met by standing
fest and firing when they came within
short range, the shot causing them to di
vide. In one day Colonel Dodge iuiied 26
bison from his wagon; not in sport, but as
a protection. Otherwise they would have
run him down and crushed man, horses and
wagon.
Th-s herd, observed by Colonel Dodge,
was later found to be BO miles wide, and
to cfupy five days in passing a given
pclr.t on its way north. From a high rock.
from which point 10 miles distant could
be seen In every direction, the earth
secmel to be covered with bison. To make
an accurate estimate of the numbers seen
wcld be impossible, but Mr. Hornaday,
by a conservative calculation, estimates
that Colonel Dodge must have seen 480,000,
and that the herd comprised half a million
bffcloes. A train on the Kansas Pacific
read in that state In 186S passed between
the towns of Ellsworth and Sheridan 120
m les through a continuous herd of buffa
loes. They were packed so that the earth
was black, and more than once the train
was stopped, the surging mass becoming a
menace to human safety.
Train Charged by Bison.
"You cannot believe the facts as they ex-
ieed In the days of 1871-72," said an army
officer. 'I was at that time on duty in
the pay department, which made it neces
sary for me to travel on the Atchison,
T peka & Santa Fe railroad. One day the
train entered a large herd, which scat
tered and seemed to go wild at the shriek
ing of the whistle and the ringing of the

br ;ame. until the very earth appeared to
be a rolling mass of humps as far as we
could see. Suddenly some of the ani
mals nearest ns turned and charged; oth
ers fell In behind, and down on us they
camo like an avalanche. The engineer
stopped the engine, let off steam and whis
tled to stop them, while we fired from the
platforms and windows with rifles and re
volvers, but It was like trying to stay a
tidel wave.
"We stood in the center of the car to
await the crash, some of the men going to
the rear. On they came, the earth trem
bling, and plunged head down Into us.
(Some were wedged In between the cars,
others beneath, and so great was the
crush that they toppled three cars over
and actually scrambled over them, one
buffalo becoming bogged by having his
legs caught In the window. Such acci
dents occurred several times and twice in
one week were trains derailed by charg
ing buffaloes, whose numbers it was Impos
sible to compute."
Hunters have heard the roaring of buffa
loes at a distance of from three to five
miles, and that the earth trembled when
they charged we can well Imagine when
the large bulls are known to weigh 2000
pounds, the cows 1200 pounds. The ques
tion of Interest today is, How was it possi
ble to destroy so many animals In so short
a time, and what methods were employed?
The natural fatalities were few compared
to the enormous numbers. The cow bison
displays little affection for her young, and
many calves were lost every year; but,
All m all, the conditions were extremely
favorable to them, and their increase was
enormous. Many were destroyed by
stampeding over precipices.
Man Their Chief Enemy.
In 1S67, 2000 buffaloes, or half a herd, be
came entangled in the quicksands of the
Platte river. At another time a herd was
lost by breaking through the ice of Lac
Qui Parle in Minnesota. The cold winters j
sometimes killed many that remained In
the far North, but these dangers were as
nothing compared to man. Man soon
found that the buffaloes had a value. The
Indians slaughtered them by the thousand
for their skins, bone and food; they killed
100 oftentimes to secure five, and waste
and prodigality were the rule. Yet so vast
were their numbers that doubtless the In
dian inroads upon them haa little effect so
far as extermination Is concerned.
But with the white man it was differ
ent. Some wished to make records, and
killed for sport; some killed for the hides
and heads; some became professional buf
falo butchers to provide the gangs of rail
road men with meat, slaughtering a mag
nificent animal for Its tongue alone. It
has been estimated that previous to 1870
nearly three-quarters of a million buff aloeB
could have been killed yearly and the
herds kept intact; how many were killed
and wasted will never be known. Each
an.nraL however, had a value at this time
estimated by Hornaday at ?5; the robe.
2 gi the toucucj. jgg. ?PTttej hinflguartcr i
meat, J2; bones, horn and hoofs, 5 cents;
and this was sufficient to attract an army
of destroyers.
The hides were the greatest feature, and
one firm in New York between 1S76 and
1884 paid the killers nearly $1,050,000, or, to
be exact, J923.070, for the robes and hides,
which represents the annual extinction of
the animal. The government never inter
fered, owing to protests of Interested leg
islators and the neglect of higher officials.
That the real extermination of the buf
falo was caused by the demands of trade
there can be no doubt, aided and abetted
by sportsmen, Indians, and others; but
the blame really lies with the government
"that in all these years permitted a few
Ignorant congressmen to block the legis
lation In favor of the protection of the
bison, so that all the efforts of human
itarians were defeated and the bills when
passed pigeonholed.
Many buffaloes were killed by running
them down; this was the popular method
among the Indians who shot them with
rifle or bow and arrow, or chased them
over precipices. The great herds north of
the Missouri were mostly exterminated
by the Indians of the Manitoba Bed river
settlement, who hunted them in a regular , ment to disturb the solidly loyal serenity

killed at least 10, 20,000 buffaloes bit the
dust. In this way Indians as above killed,
lt la estimated, 652,000 buffaloes.
Divided Into Tiro Herds.
The completion of the Western railroads
divided the buffaloes into two herds, north
ern and southern. In 1S71 the southern
herd was composed of an estimated 3,000,-
000, and from now on the animals dropped
away so rapidly that It was estimated that
3000 or -4000 a day were killed. It be
came evident that they were doomed, and
appeals were made to the government by
hundreds. From 1872 to 1874 there were
1.780,461 buffaloes killed and wasted; 3,158,-
780 In all killed by white people and the
skins shipped East over the Atchison, To-
peka & Santa Fe road. During the same
tlme the Indians killed 390,000; besides
these, settlers and mounted Indians killed
150,000, so that the grand sum total for
these years was 3,698,780. In the following
year, 1875, the deed was done. The south-
ern herd had been swept from the face
of the earth; the northern herd went In
the same way.
In 1ES2 lt was believed there were 1,000,000
buffaloes alive In the herd, but there were
at least 5000 white hunters In the field
shooting them down at every point. Such
a merciless war of extermination was nev
er before witnessed in a civilized land.
Then came 1883; thousands took the field
this year, and Sitting Bull and some whites
had the honor of killing the last 10,000.
There were living at the last government
census, made eight years ago, 256 pure
blood buffaloes In captivity, the last of the
untold millions that covered this continent
during the past century. The Scientlflo

"ALDERSHOT OF NATAL"
BELEAGTJHED IiADYS3IITH ' THUS
DESCRIBED BY A RESIDENT.
Quiet, Intensely English Iiittle
Place, Capable of Stubborn De
fense, hut Not Impregnable.
When I left Ladysmith, in July last,
writes "F. S.," in the London Mail, un
der recent date, there was naught to pre
sage the present state of affairs save a
vague unrest in the air, a subtle drawing
together of the townsfolk, and the sol
diers at the camp, and a tense feeling of
expectation of something we knew not
what. Ordinarily Ladysmith Is a quiet,
dull little place, Intensely English, in so
far that there is absolutely no Dutch ele-
a Shining Mark.
Drakensberg mountains are about 30 miles
away to the north and west, and help to
shelter us in winter from excessive cold.
The climate goes to rather unnecessary
extremes; the height of summer (Decem
ber and January) is very hot, and the
depth of winter (June and July) corre
spondingly cold. At the same time the air
is extraordinarily dry and bracing. The
open-air cure for consumption had been
tried and proved successful at Ladysmith
years before it began to bo talked about
at home.
We are not only healthy, but we are
very good. Probably few towns of 4000
inhabitants have so many places of wor
ship. Practically every creed has Its
church or chanel. from the Dutch Re
formed, whlcZt is a very small eongreg'a-
tion, to the Wesleyan, which is quite con-
slderable. We even can boast, of the
Salvation army. Folks are wont to laugh
at the importance of little provincial
places, but, after all, Ladysmith Is the
third-sized town in Natal, Durban and
Pletermarltzburg being, of course, a good
deal larger. Our town hall, we think, Is
worthy of an English cathedral town, and
we plume ourselves considerably on the
public buildings, especially the court
house, schools, public library, and the jail.
Not Much to Look at.
Of course, the town as a town, is not
much to look at a few dusty, Ill-kempt
but fairly wide streets, a spacious market
square, surrounded by low, galvanlzed
iron stores, many of them bearing curious
Indian names, as Moona-Sammy, Abdol
Mahomet and the like on the signboards,
for the important "Arab" merchants of
Durban are all represented by branch
houses. In front of the courthouse, the
hotels and the police barracks are the
usual horse tethering rails, and one
hitches up one's pony and leaves lt alone
for hours, quite secure in the average
integrity of the passers-by.
Honestly, our weak points are our roads.
our drainage, and our licrhtlner.

elm-
For quite a long while Ladysmith was
the railway terminus from Durban, from
which It Is ISO miles away. During the
gold rush to the Transvaal, coaches,
Cape carts, wagons, spiders, even "gln-cases-on-wheels"
set out dally by the
score for the northern Eldorado. At that
time the bonded warehouses for goods in
transit were piled up with thousands of
pounds worth of goods for the Transvaal.
In those days the hotel keenera rHfl n
flourishing business in housing intending I
travelers and provisioning them for the
journey. But this has all been altered
now; we are only a roadside station on
the great through line to Pretoria and be
yond, but we have the branch line to
Harrismlth in tho Orange Free State, so
that we are, titter all, a junction on a
small scale.
There are a good many trees In Lady
smith; in fact, lt Is by way of being an
oasis in the veldt. Mimosas, gum trees of
a dozen' kinds, yuccas, aloes and planes
all flourish, and some of tho flower gar
dens are beautifully bright in summer.
By the way, the name of Ladysmith has
the simplest of derivations. It was christ
ened after Lady Harry Smith about the
year 1840. She was the Spanish wife of
General Sir Henry Smith, who command
ed the troops in South Africa at the time.

Grahamstown, a distance of nearly 500
miles, to the relief of the "City of Saints'

Ita Military Position.
But .after all,' the chief interest In
Ladysmith today lies in its military posi
tion. In the old days of the flrst Trans
vaal war we had troops here, and the
place was to all Intents and purposes a,
garrison town. But the soldiers were
eventually withdrawn, and It was not un
til 1897 that we were again familiar with
the fifes and drums. In that year the
military authorities came out from Mar
itzburg and laid out a camp of consider
able extent near the water works, rather
less than two miles to the west of the
town. We were right glad to see them,
and tried our best to do them well. There
were never less than 2000 men In camp
under canvas "and In so-called huts, and
three field batteries of artillery helped to
swell the number.
Looking back today to tho time when
the camp was re-established, just over
two years ago, It seems to me that there
was some inkling of strange happenings
even at that time. We talked vaguely of
possibilities, but never realized' the dread
actualities that have now come to pass.
At that time various real estate specu
lators and others bought land In the
neighborhood of the camp with a view to
building a hotel, some bungalows, a can
teen or so, and other accommodations for
the troops, but owing to various causes,
nothing tangible was done, and be
yond the tents there are only some dozen
little brick buildings dotted about the
outskirts of the regimental lines. The sol
diers came and went freely in the town,
and caused an appreciable Improvement
In the trade of the place, which previous
to that had not been in a too-flourishing
condition.
It would be ridiculous in the extreme to
pretend that Ladysmith is impregnable.
It Is nothing of the sort. To the west
of the town there Is a flne, level plain, on
which is the camp. The open veldt rolls
away for miles, until it meets the foot
hills stretching afar from the Drakens
berg mountains. The Sand river, with Its
affluents, the Blaauwbank river and the
Dewdrop Spruit, or stream, Intersect the
plateau, and the Klip and Sand rivers
join on the road leading across Van
Reenen's pass to Harrismlth. There is
very little water in any of these rivers
save after a thunderstorm. During the
summer months these are pretty frequent,
and for at last a few weeks In January
may be expected with almost clockwork
regularity, between 4 and 5 o'clock every
afternoon. They usually only last for an
hour or less, and though the downpour
Is veritably tropical for the time, the sun
soon dries up the moisture, and the soil
is parched and thirsty again by the next
day.
Good Cover for Boers.
On the east of Ladysmith there are sev
eral hills whdeh are of some Importance
The Islmbulwana, for instance, la digni
fied by the name of a mountain, but- this
is gross flattery; Lombard's Kop is an
eminence within four miles of the town
and six of the camp. Kopje (a hillock)
Is the diminutive of kop, a hill. Scattered
about the veldt on this side of the town
are many kopjes, covered with stones and
capable of making excellent cover for the
Boers who, however, could be, and evi
dently have been, dislodged by our heavy
naval guns.
It is entirely incorrect to describe Lady
smith as lying in a teacup. A fairer com
parison would be to say that it lies to
ward one side of a gigantic soup plate,
with a big piece of the edge chipped off
on one side. Through this chip comes tho
railway line from Durban.
Speaking as a resident and one who
knows the country, there need be no fear
that we shall lose Ladysmith. The earth
works surrounding the heavy guns are
amply sufficient to protect the town. Ev
ery hill, slult, and distinctive point of at
tack for miles around has been carefully
measured for shooting purposes. The
site of the camp Itself was chosen by a
board of officers specially appointed for
the purpose, and the military position of
the place has been studied and developed
during the past two years by the most
expert local military advice.
The natural advantages and defenses of
the town have been enhanced and
strengthened by carefully planned re
doubts at any posisbly vulnerable points.
The danger of the place being rushed is
absolutely nil, because the immediate sur
roundings are open and bare to nakedness,
so that there is no possibility of surprise.
Any one approaching can be seen for a
great distance, and no near cover is avail
able. In short, Ladysmith is the Alder
shot o,Natal.
