Y. THE SIMPLE AFRICAN 'How the Sights and Customs of Civilization Affect Him. It is an amusing speculation to pic- ture one of our remote ancestors sud- denly transported through time from the homely days, say of the seven- teenth century, to the hustling, bustl- ing days of the present. "How his eyes would open at our marvelous in- ventions!" we say. The nearest we can come to bringing that to pass is to bring out suddenly to civilization some of the tribesmen who have never before left their jungle homes and who have never heard of engines or telephones or motion. pictures. e imagine our remote ancestor as haart ing in awe lore our won ! them , too, as ome < the West J can tribes did on their way to the front in German East Africa writer in Blackwood's tells 'about them. The wildest excitement prevailed on board, he says. Many of these na- tives had never seen the sea, and very 'few had ever sailed upon it. They believed most things their officers told them, but it was of no use to tell eens that men built this great float- ing town. No. Allah must have made it! Pointing to the two steam tugs lying side by side in the harbor, they asked how soon it would take these lesser craft to grow to the size of the transport, which must be their moth- er. The tables and benches on the troop deck of the ship were an un- necessary encumbrance to the black men, who knew not whether to sit on the tables and rest their feet on the benches, or to sit on the benches, us- ing the tables as a support for their backs. When the officers began to issue the usual hammocks there was the wild excitement of children with a new and wonderful toy. Climbing in at one side the black men fell out greatest fur in the wor The navigation of the ship was a mystery to the Africans. The popu- lar theory was that we were pulled along by a wire under the sea. Many attached considerable importance to the log line on the stern of the ship, supposing that it somehow enabled the skipper to find his way across the ocean, while a few mdintained that it was a means of catching fish. Our many endeavors to convince the Afri- cans that the earth is round were in- variably met with ribald laughter. In vain did we expound the principles of wireless. They thought it all capital sport, and roared with laughter at these jokes of their officers. . When we reached-Durban the peo- ple invited the Africans to a moving- picture show. The two hours we spent in that theatre are beyond my des- cription. From beginning to end, no matter whether the screen was blank or displayed the most stirring scenes, the men gave themselves up to one frenzied tumult of laughter. The dig- nified inspection of a wrecked Zep- pelin by Mr. Balfour and Mr. Lloyd George provoked as great an outburst of mirth as the most extravagant Charlie Chaplin farce. The blank that follows the completion of a film was regarded as one of the best practical jokes in the world. e rest of our voyage was un- evantel, ut the Africans will ever remember our arrival at Dar es Sala- am, for their they saw their first air- plane. Jt appesred high overhead above our head in a cocoanut planta- tion.
