In Johannesburg. "Johannesburg as a town surprises and disappoints," writes a South African Af-rican traveler. "It has been put up In a hurry and Is mostly built .of corrugated cor-rugated Jron. Therefore finished buildings, mostly ot stucco, and Innumerable Innu-merable shanties. Ttiero are wide streets, but they are all dusty. Commissioner Com-missioner street is the main artery for business. It Is there that, In imitation im-itation of America, sky-scrapers have boon built, which domineer over the town more than tho oldfort does. Sunday Sun-day in Johannesburg honored In tho breach and not in the observance. Johannesburg is a yoTng thing yet, not out of ltB teens, b"ut It apes tho manners of ccnturles."4Br ? . . , iiR
