DIR. Livingstone was found in the
vicinity of Ujiji, where he was
cut off from all communication
with the civilized world, and
where he had suffered from sick
ness, desertiOn and terrible hard
ships. The great traveler-pro
vided we have read his dispatch
es to the English government
correctly-had not discovered the
source Of the Nile, but believes it
to be in the chain of lakes some
ten degrees south Of the EQUATOR.
There can be little doubt that
DR.. Livingstane's theory is cor
rect, and that the Nile has its Or
igin in the lake region south OF
the equator, which is the water
shed Of the great African wilder
ness. If this proves true, the Nile
stretches over forty degrees OF
latitude, and is the longest river
on the globe. It is somewhat
strange, however, that our geo.
graphical knowledge of the Nile
valley, and Of the source of that
river, is little better than that OF
the Egyptians of sixteen centuries
ago. Claudius Ptolemy, the IA
nous astronomer, mathemacian
and geogrpher, who fiourished in
the reigns of Adrian and Marcus
Antonius, stated that the Nile
had its rise in the identical chain
of lakes which DR.. Livingstone is
now exploring. Thus "history
repeats ITSELF" We now know
Only what an Egyptian geographer
informed the world sixteen cen
turtles ogo. But we want DR.. Liv-
ingstone to investigate another
fact regarding the annual over
flow of the Nile, which gives such
fertility to the land through which
it flows. These foundations occur
annually, from the middle of June
to the middle Of September, and
never Except in 1920 rising above
% cubits-then thirty thousand
people were drowned, and I'M
mense property lost. If the Nile
has no tributary streams, and has
it's origin in lakes that are not fed
by rivers, where does all the water
come FROM EFOOnSOkef PutPiO'.

The Source of the Nile.

Or. Livingstone, III MS uNe years
wanderings in the interior of Afri-
ca, are the leading topics of discus
sion among scientific ond literary
thinkers just now; yet not a few
of them doubt the probability Of
The great English traveller discOv-
ering the object of his serch-the
true source of the Nile. For more
than a century past geographers
have been in doubt as to the orig
in of that magnificent river, na-
jority declaring that it had San
unknown source" yet Claudius
PtoIemy stated as early as the Sec
ond century that the source Of the
Nile was Gin two or more lakes
lying north of snowy range Of
mountains in mid-Africa," which
he called the Mountains of the
Moon. In the sixteenth century
the Portuguese geographer, Paez,
made similar assertions; and in
1870 Mr.. Bruce, the Scottish trav-
eler, after q t0iisOme and danger
Gus journey up the Nile, declared
that he discovered its remotest
source Gin a marsh in the district
of Geesh." Captain Spoke, an
English military officer, who trav-
elIed in 1853 from the east coast of
Africa to the great lake of Tagan-
yika, affirmed that the true source
of the great river WAS sin Lake
Nyanza, on the equator"
Various earlier African eXplor-
ers, sent out by Egypt, France,
Germany and other nations, I'M
animouSly Endorsed the state
ments Of PtOlemy and Paez; yet
none of them explored the chain
of lakes in which they declared
the Nile had its rise. The theory
of Capt. Spoke, that the origin of
the Nile was in Lake Nyanza, was
not accredited by English Z eogra-
piers, and to solve the problem
DIR. Livingstone >tlrted off five
years ago, determined to explore
the watershed of the great Nile
valley, ard trace that famous riv-
er to its head springs. The in
telligent reades knows that DR..
Livingstone got lost in the great
WILDERNESS near the equator, was
given up By the British govern
ment, after i fruitless search of
two years. He has just le,n
