FURTHER DISCOVERIES.
From the Tanganylka he crossed Maremgus
and came In sight of Lake Moero. Tracing
this lake, which Is about sixty miles In length,
to its southern extremity, he found river
entering IL from that direction. Following
the Luapula north, as this river was called, he
found it issued from the great lake OF Bang
the Tanganyika. The most Important feeder
of this lake Is the Chambezl. We had traced
the Chambezi running north through three
degrees of latitude. 1t could not, then, be

TWO PROBLEMS REMAINING TO BE SOLVED.
According TO Livingstone, two things ye,
remain before the Nile sources can be said tc
be discovered First, he has heard OF the ex
istence of four fountains, two OF which give
birth to q river flowing north, which is the
Lualabs, and TWO to river flowing south Int
