Explorer Discovers it in Africa Where men Have Annihilated Each Other.
Lion Reposes With Hartebeeste.
    London, June 18.-Sir Harry Hamiton Johnston, special commissioner for the Uganda protectorate, has returned to London after as absence of two years. He brings stories of uganda rivaling Henry M. Stanley’s description of “Darkest Africa.” Sir Harry relates that the country surrounding Moantelgon is totally depopulated as a result of inter-tribal wars, and is, consequently, marvelously stocked with big game that ia as tame as English park deer. Zebras and antelope can be approached to within ten yards, and there is no sport in killing them.
Lions Too Busy on Dainties Dining.
    Elephants and rhinoceros are also abundant, and, according to Sir Harry lions in Uganda are too busy eating hartebeeste to notice a passing caravan. The prehistoric giraffe has been discovered in this country by the commissioner, who proposes to maintain the region referred to as a national park. He photographed a race of apeman in the Congo forest, differing entirely from Stanley’s pigmies, and secured phonograph records of their language and music. Sir Harry says that twelve varieties of rubber trees are found in this country in inexhaustible supply.
