THE KAISER ON KILIMANJARO.
Correspondence in The Times has recalled the fact that Kilimanjaro, from whose neighbourhood the enemy has just been expelled, was included in German East Africa at the special desire of the Kaiser (then Prince William of Prussia). It appears that he took a peculiar interest in the fauna and flora of that district. Incidentally, the highest peak of Kilimanjaro (19,000 feet) is named Kaiser Wilhelm Spitze.

Kilimanjaro!
Almost as loud as my own fame,
Kilimanjaro!
