ExpSorer Photographs Rare Sable Antelope in Africa new York (UJO The best wajr to "shoot" a giant sable antelope In Africa is to track down a couple of bulls locking horns in battle and move in cautiously with a camera for the;"kilL" . Explorer Quentin Keynes has just returned from central An gola in Portuguese West Africa where he led a small expedition over a thousand miles straight to a herd of 30 giant sables. He photographed these African rari ties for the first time, alive and unwounded, from 100 yards. Keynes, a youthful British ex plorer living in New York, is a great-grandson of Charles Dar win, author of the famous "Orig in of the Species," and a nephew of John Maynard Keynes, Brit ish economist. Found Between Riven " " The giant sable antelope is found only between two rivers, 30 miles apart, in Angola, Key nes said. It was first discovered by Frank Varian, who shot one and sent it to the British Mu seum where it was identified in 1916 as -a separate species and named Hippo tragus Niger Vari ant. ' It was the last major animal to be discovered in Africa. Since then, the sable has been shot mainly by aristocratic sports man. Count Yebes' kill, in 1949 had a record horn-spread of inches. These large, curved, ring ed horns are longer than the beast is high. Keynes, accompanied v by- a Portuguese naturalist, a British sportsman, and two native track ers, found most Africans lyague about the location , of the giant sable. The expedition finally es tablished headquarters at Ka- malanga, a camp which had been specially built for Count Yebes. The first day out, Keynes and his band spotted their elusive quarry, but for each step they took forward the wary herd took a simultaneous step away until night fell. After spending a fitful night in the hut surrounded by roar ing lions, the party started hunt ing the sable , the second day, and found another 'herd 600 yards off. Luck was with them two bulls started to fight so fur iously that the herd moved off and - Keynes moved in to the 100-yard range. He shot the whole battle in colored still and motion pictures for 20 minutes Keynes said his are the first pictures ever taken of such a fight. After "shooting" these sables, Keynes received a letter from : their discoverer, Frank Varian, now a 78-year-old resi dent of Capetown. Keynes .went out of his way by 2,000 miles en route to New York to visit Varian. .. Adventure. Nothing New"' "I first got the grand sable bug five years ago and hap pened to ' meet most of those who had shot the beast," Key nes explained. "My enthusiasm is for any rare and vanishing living thing, be it flora or fauna, that people generally don't know about or haven't seen photo graphed." , ,- : Such an adventure is nothing new to Keynes. He has made four trips to Africa and India since 1948, as well as to Napo leon's exiled island of St. Hel ena. He is a member of the Ex plorers Club, the Adventurers Club, and the Royal Geograph ical Society. v , On Keynes way to India, he stopped off at Mauritius, an is land in the Indian Ocean, to photograph the final . stamping ground of the dodo bird, extinct since 1691. He spent four months there because "I wanted to see the island where the dodo lived." ..-i-iWV;-;; Nose Gets in Way; Deferred Sentence Out ' -Providence, R. I.

Second , Marriage : It was Dr. Samuel Johnson who cynically referred to a sec- ond marriage as "a triumph of hope over experience." Never- : theless, the percentage of sue- : cessful second marriages is higher than that of first marriages. More women are now marrying for the second time than ever before. One sixth of all recent brides in the U. S. A. have been widows or divorcees. A young and comely widow or a glamor ous divorcee is terrific competi tion for a bachelorette in a bat tle for an eligible male. The . widow or divorcee has a better .understanding of men than the "bachelorette. Shells more likely to try to please the man than demand that she be always : catered to. jpr' l , Ptease Not -V''.--' Are you a psychomat? In ease you don't know, that is a term applied to people whose minds strongly influence their bodies. For example, a man who gets indigestion when his mother-in- law comes, to spend a weekend at his house is a psychomat. So is a fellow who gets a headache or loses his appetite when he . blows a three-horse parlay. 7 . Asking t Queries from clients. Q. What did 'Diamond Jim" Brady weigh? At what age did he die?

Among the minor irritations of married life, what would you say a husband finds most irritating? v A. Average husband is most annoyed when his wjfe inter rupts him. The average wife is most irritated when her hus band comes home late to dinner. Boy Wonders Another of the many T)oy wonders" from Brooklyn was that remarkable ringman, "Ter rible Tewy" McGovern. When Terry was only 19 and a bantam weight, he ' knocked out the champions in three divisions within ten months! They were Pedlar Palmer, bantamweight; George Dixon, featherweight, and Frank Erne, lightweight In cidentally, at 19, McGovern was already a married man and a father. Operation : Ever know of a dentist who pulled some of his own teeth? You probably have. Understand that is not so difficult for a clever dentist But have you ever heard of a surgeon who operated on', himself ' for appendicitis? That hanoened. Dr. Theodor Heir of Hamdorf, Germany, op erated on himself for appendi citis. With the use of novocaine he took out his own appendix.
