ON THE EDGE OF THE ATHI PLAINS, FACE TO FACE WITH GREAT HERDS OF WILD GAME.

UP IN A BALLOON AT NAIROBI Before Colonel Roosevelt drew the eyes of the world on British East Africa Nairobi was practically unheard of.

The British colonial office knew where it was and a fair number of English sportsmen had visited it in the last six or eight years.

Now it is decidedly on the map, thanks to our gallant and picturesque Theodore.
