tion. Nearly one hundred cases of tinned foods disposed of the idea that there is any intention of "shooting for the pot," or of "living on the conntry." And everything else appears to have been designed with a similarly observant eye to the pleasant side of the strenuous life. For example, Mr Roosevelt will be able to sit outside his tent beneath a portable "verandah, which a native bearer will carry. He will also have a collapsible-bath-room, arad will perform his ablutions in a folding bath. Babbling brooks arc to be banned. Mr Roosevelt's wardrobe will fold up into an extraordinarily small space, and his easy chair will f aal t together t into a neat parcel like a conjuring trick; tables and ordinary chairs will do: likewise. His mirrors will fold up. Uscfultobls are arranged in small cases. Even the hunter's reading. lamp will fold up, and canvas water bottles'," when" not in use, will "collapse," so that they may be.carried in the pocket. Beds will fall at a touch into 'handy package's. The washstand can be folded up so that it looks like a suitcase. ■
