African Chief Gave Name to Zulu Tribe

The name "Zulu,” which means “sky,” was, not further back than a hundred years, confined to a small and Insignificant tribe, occupying that part of the White Umfolozi valley which falls between the Mahlabatiiia magistracy on the north and that of Melmoth on the south, according to Adventure Magazine. Zulu M son of a certain Malandela, flourished' in Zululand probably during the Sixteenth century. This son is said to have quarreled with his elder brother Qwabe, who took exception to the former being presented by his mother with a certain white ox, with the result that Zulu left with his followers to’ occupy the White Umfolozi valley, while Qwabe went to live nearer the coast on the south side of the Urahlatuze river and In what Is known as Eshowe district. It was with the help of the chief of the Mtetwa tribe that Tshaka, who was not the proper hptr, became chief of the Zulu tribe. No sooner did he become chief than he began to build tip an extraordinary military organization, and to attempt what had never been attempted before, namely, to fuse the various tribes into a nation. South American Honored The statue of Gen. Jose de San Martin In Judiciary park Is the first statue of a South American to be erected In Washington. It Is a replica of one in Buenos Aires and was thought a fitting gift to this country, since San Martin was a patriot to whom many South Americans accord the reverence that people In this country pay to the memory of George Washington.
