A REMARKABLE CAREER. He was only twenty-one when he ..'rst made acquaintance with Africa, which was afterwards to be his ‘happy huntingâ€"ground. Spending some time in Tunis, ho mastered Arâ€" :abic, and probed into the social and political problems of that, romantic region. A series of articlcs on this subject attracted the attention of Lord Mayo, who was arranging a Inlission to Portuguese West Africa, and knowing that Johnston was familiar with the Portuguese lanâ€" guage, he inVited him to accompany the cxpcn‘ition. The young enthusâ€" iast att‘epted the offer, and upon the completion of the mission travelled on alone into the heart of the Congo. gand tracked the great river of Con- it-ral Africa through its tropical wanâ€" .derings. Returning home at the end of U883, he produced a remarkâ€"211316 lwork dealing with tie River Congo ,which brought. him into notice, and ,was the means of his being selected to conduct an expedition to Kilimanâ€" ro, in East Arden. Johnston's ‘ at ener and shrewd observaâ€" ona won the favor of Lord The pervading i1npro:‘.nn of his personality is one of ceaseless actiâ€" vity. In his quick, scm‘Ching eyes there is the power of reading men’s Dharactor which is the Sign of all en who have learnt to govern. In is square, 'firm jaw there is the [logged determination which has Carâ€" ried him through many a. great and "difficult task. In his brisk, frank, vivacious, enthusiastic speech there 18 that. magnetic influence which marks him out as a leader of men, as a. man whom other men will folâ€" fiow. through danger and difficulty. with faith that; he will get, to the 108‘ he has in View. But always in the midst of the anâ€" xious cares of Colonial administra- tion, during perilous explorations through savage regions, and in the turmoil of Imperial politlvs, the stuâ€" dent life, the love of things beautiful In literature, art. and nature have tugng at his heartstrlngs. ‘ A COMPLEX PERSONALITY. "Threeâ€"quarters of me; he said rcâ€" gntly in a private conversation waves for a. life of peace and study, Lnd retirement from the stxifc of the world. But the other quarter is pos- lessed by a little demon \vlzich pricks a; med slump an 331m 01 uo am lhe practical problems of the world, Ind will never let me rest." This man of rcsLless energy, with ‘ firm hand upon the m'tivitics of )ublic life and work, who has ruled Wer great countries, and dominated by his strong personality thousands )f civilised and unciviliscd men in Iurbulent regions. has a strangely lual chm'actel‘, which perhaps is the ecrct of his success. iice behind him as an explorer and \dministrator in East, West, and ientral Aiiica. But, his reputation dons not end rith this. As the author of many mportant books, as a journalist with ew things to tell and a. vivid\ style f telling them, as a master of many luguages, as an artist whose pic- urcs are hung in the Academy, as o. atui'alist and zoologist with many iriginal discoveries to his credit, he as Won his spurs in literature, art, md science. I‘here are few men who have in- LdCd the two worlds of thought and ption with such brilliant dash and lax-mg as Sir Harry Hamilton John- };on.

Sir Harry Johnston’s great book upon the Uganda Protectorate, pro- duced upon his return in 1902, is one of the most remarkable contri- butions to the World’s literature.
