But these are commonplace events in the life of the railway surveyor. Let the reader imagine that he has taken conge of civilization, and that he is one of the sun-burmed, smoke- scented, overalled crowd that consti- tutes a survey camp--fifty miles up the pack trail that winds off through the mountains from the very last jumping off place on the railway. The "Get Up' Call. Early in the morning--horribly ear- ly--just as a faint light--the first pale ghafts of sunrise--i3 pushing up over the big mountain across the valley, and while yet the stars gleam in the frosty sky, above the black tops of the pines, comes the reveille, an abominable din of tinpan and stick, harshly discordant. This melody produced by the cookie (the chef's assistant) means "get up," and fif- teen minutes later a similar, but greatly modified, alarm suffices to call the faithful to breakfast. During the progress of the meal the daylight gets a chance to expand, and soon after the last man has satisfied his bun- ger comes the call "All out." Now all hands "hit the trail" for the line, marching in single file, eyes ever on the alert for the wind-fallen logs which beset the path, and the slender branches that flv back like whips to sting the un- wary.

Africa, it is said, is the negro's proper home, and he can have it to himself be- cause the white man cannot live there. But there is now going on in Africa a wondrous work of transfor- mation and reclamation, instigated and controled by white genius and white power. Jven white farmers thrive there, and European peasantry are to be settled there with a view to making them actual tillers of the soil. European soldiers become ac- climated there, and many of them re- main from choice after their military service ends. And soldiering, as the white man in Africa prosecutes it, is hard work. As a rule, of course, white men do not perform the hardest toil in tropi- eal Africa. They do not need to. Their best hold is arousing and directing the natives, bringing them out of the torpor of ages. Steam, electricity, and machinery that the sun cannot wilt are doing the work in Africa which even the natives would sink under.
