BT THE RT. HOX. WIX8TOX CHI'HCH
ILL. Under Secretary .f Htate f..r the
Colonies of Great Britain.
THE East Africa Protectorate Is a
country of the highest interest to
the colonist, the araveler.or the
sportsman. But the Kingdom of Uganda
1 a fairy tale. You climb up a railway
: Instead of a beanstalk, and at the end
: there la a wonderful new world. The
scenery is different, the vegetation is
different, the climate Is different and.
' most of all. the people are different from
anything; elsewhere to be seen In the
whole range of Africa.
Instead of the breezly uplands, we enter
a tropical garden. In the place of 'naked,
painted savage, clashing their a pears
and gibbering In chorus to their tribal
chiefs, a complete and elaborate polity
Is presented. Under a dynastic king,
with a parliament and a powerful feudal
system, an amiable, clothed, polite and
intelligent race dwell together In an or
ganized monarchy upon the rich domain
between the Victoria and Albert Lakes.
More than 200.000 natives are able to
read and write. More than 100.000 have
embraced the Christian faith. There la a
court, there are regents and ministers
and nobles: there Is a. regular system of
native law and tribunals; there la dis
cipline, there Is industry, there is culture,
there is peace.
Three separate Influences, each of them
powerful and benevolent, exercise control
over the mass of the Baeanda nation.
First, the Imperial authority, secular,
scientific, disinterested. Irresistible: sec
ondly, a native government and feudal
aristocracy, corrected of their abuses,
yet preserving- their vitality; and thirdly,
missionary enterprise on an almost un
equal ed scale.
tinder the shelter of the British flag,
safe from external menace or internal
broil, the child-king grows to a tern
perata and Instructed maturity. Sur
rounded by his officers of state, he pre
sides) at the meetings of his council and
Parliament, or worships In the huge
thatched cathedral which haa been reared
on Namlrembe Hill, at Kampala, the old
capital of the region. Fbrtltled In their
risThta, btit restrained from tvrannical
excess, and guided by an outside power
his feudatories exercisa their proper
functions. The people, relieved from the
severities and confusions of times not
long ago. are apt to learn and willing to
obey. And among them, with patient
energy, tolls a large body of devoted
Oirlatian men of different nations of
different churches, but of a common
charity, tending their spiritual needs,
enlarging their social and moral con
ception and advancing their education
year by year.
I'granda One Beautiful Garden.

a nativ, simplicity of character, pervades

gruw in profuiiion on all sides. Beyond
a blase of violet, purple, yellow and
crimson blossoms and an expanse of level
green lawns, the great blue lake lies-In
all Its beauty. The hills and Islands on
the horizon are just beginning to flush to
the sunset. The air la soft and cooL
IJxcept that the picture actually looks
more English In Its character, one would
imagine It was the Riviera. It must bo
too good 'to be true.
Behind the Mask of Beauty Death.
It is too good to be true. One csn
hardly believe that such an attractive
spot can be cursed with malignant at
tributes.. Tet behind Its glittering mask
Entebbe wears a sinister aepect. These
smiling Islands which adorn and diver
sify the scenery of the lske supported a
few years ago a large population. Today
they are desolate. Every white man
seems to feel a senso of undetinable op
pression. A cut will not heal; a scratch
festers. In tne third year of residence
ven a small wound becomes a running
ore. One day a man feels perfectly well;
the next, for no apparent cause, he Is
prostrate with malaria, and with malaria
of a peculiarly persistent kind, turning
often in the third or fourth attack to
blackwater fever.
So far as human force is concerned, the
British power in these regions la at pres
ent beyond challenge. No man can with
stand it. But a new opponent has ap
peared and will not be denied. Uganda
Is defended bv Its Insects. It would even
seem that the arrival of the while man
and the Increased movement and actlvlt
which Ills presence has engendered have
awakoned these formidable atoms to a
realization of their powers of evil.
The dreaded spirillum tick has begun
to infest the roads like a tiny footpad,
and scarcely any precautions avail with
certainty agalnsf him. This tick Is a
dirty drab-colored creature, the size and
shape of a small squashed pea. When ha
bites an infected person he does not con
tract the spirillum fever himself, nordoea
he transmit it directly to other persons.
By a peculiarly malevolent provision of
nature this power Is exercised not by
him, but by his descendants, who are
numbered In hundreds. So the poison
spreads In an Incalculable progression.
Although this fever Is not fatal, it la
exceptionally painful In ita course and
distressing in Its consequences. There
are five or six separate and successive
attacks of fever, lu which the tempera
ture of the victim may rise even to 107
degrees, and afterward ths eyes and hear
ing are temporarily affected by a kind
of facial paralysis.
Road after road has been declared In
fected by this scourge, and officer after
officer struck down as he moves on duty
from place to place. The only sure pre
ventive seems to be the destruction of
all old grass huts and camping grounds,
and the t-rectlon along the roads of a
regular system of stone-built, properly
maintained and disinfected rest houses. in
which the traveler may take refuge from
the lurking peril.
Terrible Shadow Over Uganda.
But a far more terrible l-.adow dark
ens the Uganda Protectorate. In July,
lsul. a doctor of the CTmrch Missionary
Society hospital at Kampala, the old
capital of Uganda, noticed eight rases
of a mysterious disease. Six months
later he reported that over 219 natives
had died of it in the Island oi Buvuma
n Lake Victoria N'yanza, and that thous
ands appeared to be Infected.
The pestilence swiftly spread through
all the districts of the Uka ahore and
the mortality was appalling. Vo ot..
could tell where It had come fmm or
what It was caused by. It reals ted
every kind of treatment and appeared to
be universally fatal. Hrlerttrte Inquiries
of various kinds were Immediately set on
foot, but for a long time no results were
obtained, and meanwhile the disease raa
along tha roasts and Islands of tha great
lske like fir In a high wind.
T?v the middle of 1-sjc the reported
deaths from trypanosomiasis, or "aletp-

lug sickness,-' as it has come to be called,
numbered over i.'tn. It was at '.11 spread
ing rapidly upon alt sides, and no claw
whatever to Its treatment or prevention
had been obtained. It seemed certain that
the entire population of the districts af
fected was doomed.
On April . 18. Colonel Bruce, who
services had been obtained for tha In
vestigation of -sleeping sickness. an
nounced that he considered the disease
to be due to a kind ot trypanoaome. con
veyed from one person to another by the
bite of a species of tsetse fly called
Ulosalna pa!palla. His theory was
strongly supported by the fact that tha
disease appeared to be confined to tha
localities infested by the fly. The fly
belt also could be defined with precision
and was rarely found to extend mora
than a mllo or two from water.
The news that Europeans oaild no
longer consider themselves Immune from
Infection caused, as might be Imagined,
much consternation In thw white com
munity. Nearly everybody had been bit
ten by tsetses at one time or another, but
whether by the particular specie when
actually Infected, remained In suspense.
Moreover, tsetse flies abounded In such
numbers on sll parts orthe lake shore
that their wholesale destruction seemed
quite Impossible. What then?
