AN AFRICAN CHIEFS DANCE. Major Serpa Pinto, in his travels through Central Africa, tells how the Sova Mar'anda, chief of one of the numerous South African tribes, indulges occasionally in a somewhat turbulent dance. He is fantastically attired, which adds to his already hippopotamus-like proportions. The king, by dancing before a guest, thereby confers the greatest honour upon the visitor, and whilst he thus jumps wildly and leaps madly, his entourage stand in rows and produce a series of monotonous sounds, whilst they clap their hands in accompaniment.'~'_~j
