Show Depopulated by Sleeping Sickness. Fajao as a native town was no more. At hardly auy point in Uganda has the sleeping slckners made such frightful ravages. At least 6.000 persons per-sons had perished In the last two years. Almost the whole population had been swept away. Scarcely enough remained to form the deputation, who In their white robes could be discerned at the en trance to the cleared area of tho camping ground. And this cleared area was Itself of the utmost importance, impor-tance, for all around It the powers of evil were btroug. ThG groves which fringed and overhung the river 6warmed with tsetse flies of newly replenished re-plenished venom and approved malignity, ma-lignity, and no man could entor them except at a risk.
