No. 107 THE DISAPPEARING JUNGLE
The White Matt's Transformation of Africa
I n impressive contrast there is presented, first the Africa of the early explorers and second the Africa of to-day. As a result many well established illusions are destroyed.
The Jungle — thick-growing trees and vines — snakes, wild animals — hidden lakes, hills — native villages, tribal dances — the Africa which is far nearer a thing of the past than is realized.
Natives clearing the land — irrigation — plantations and mills — the Africa the White Man is rapidly creating.
The animals? The camera discovers a great number — and then discloses that they are all in a game preserve !
