Two Cents for
HIPPOPOTAMUS IN THE SWAMP. The hippopot-
amus is found in every river with water enough to
cover him when he lies down, and in nearly every lake
and marsh in the Uganda Protectorate, in which country
the Roosevelt party are now hunting. He is a serious
impediment to navigation at the northern end of Lake
Albert and on the Upper Nile. There is no immediate
danger of his becoming extinct, for in the vast marshes
he is hard to reach and for years to come is to a great
extent sa fe from the white man's bullets. This is a
direct photograph, taken, as will be noticed, at close
range, and shows the animal feeding in the swamp.
