what stanley Has Discovered I'm
Africa

In Central Africa immedIately un,er a.,
equator, lie two Immense lakes, side by site,
known 10 geographers as the Victoria aud
Albert y yanzas, and discovered respectively
by Captain John Hanning Spoke and sir
samuel Baker. The term y 'yanzs is an At
rican word, signifying a lake or expanse OF
water. These lakes are connected by a west
ward flowing river, called the Somerset or
Victoria Nile, running out OF the Victoria
N'yanza, whose northern outlet is positively
known TO be the White Nile itself What
Stanley has discovered is the fact that the
Victoria N'yanza, the most remote source of
the Nile actually known 10 be such. is I'm
reality an inland sea instead OF an aggrega-
ton OF small lakes, as some explorers Aave
hepp or mere h marshy tract as has
Inc nrst successful attempt At the eNplora-
ton OF this region was made I'm iS57 when
Captain Spoke and Captain Richard F. Bur
ton SET out from Zanzibar toward the inte-
rtor. They made their way To Lake Tan
ganyika, where Burton remained while
Spoke proceeded on an excursion 90 the
northeast, in the course OF which he discov-
cred the Victoria N'yanza. first catching
sight OF its waters from the southern extrem-
ity, in July. 1855, close 20 the spot whence
Stanley's letters are dated. He subsequently,
explored its western shores being accomps-
MED by Captain j. A. Grant, OF the British
army, with whom he discovered its outlet,
the Victoria Nile, which. however they did
not trace down TO the Albert lake.
The success of Spoke in finding this sheet
OF water, which he described as so extensive
chu yoiuiy d>suf1eu 10 ne the true source of
the Nile, aroused the jealousy OF his former
companion, Capt. Burton, TO an astonishing
degree. Burton is an experienced traveller
OF exceptional attachments as a linguist and
man OF letters, but hard headed, rough and
unrefined. He attacked Speke's geoeranhv
and ridiculed his lake; out the correctness OF
The one and the existence of the other were
vlndicated IN series of able articles CON
tributed to BlackwoOd's Magazine by Mr.
Laurence Oliphat At this time, however
Burton's conduct toward his old associate
had become almost brutal. Capt. Spoke was
killed by the accidental discharge OF his gun
while out shooting; after his return 70 Eng
land. This melancholy occurrence took place
near Bath during the meeting OF the British
Association at that city in 1864, when Speke's
geographical views were expected TO excite
vigorous hostile criticism; and Burton did
not hesitate TO suggest that 10 was In fact tn
suicide OF disappointed explorer. IL is lust
tn add that of late years Capt. Burton has
manifested some sense of shame for his infa-
NOUS attack on one OF the purest and best OF
African travellers.
III we may believe Mr.. Stanley, the truth
sustains Speke's assertions and even his sup
positions founded on native inform alton in
every material particularly Y S,ut.

FoULING WELLS. The most fnsidious
process il that of the gradual fouling OF the
semi porous earth lying between the source
OF the impurity and the drinking water well.
In such cases the emulation Is usually quite
or nearly constant; there is no Opportunity
for the air TO restore the altering power of the
soil, and IL becomes saturated with impurity
inch by inch, until, perhaps after a month or
perhaps after several years, the saturation
reaches the well; then every drop ooZing in
from this source carries with it It's atom OF
filth. While the supply of water in the
ground Is copious, and while there Is more or
less circulation through the water veins, the
foulness may be too much diluted TO do harm,
but In dry seasons, when the supply recedes
10 depth of only few feet at the bottom of
the well, the contribution ofdrain water con-
tfnuing the same, the dose becomes sufficient
TO produce its poisonous effect. The dagger
Gus character of the water OF such wells is
often manifested by no odor or taste OF or
ganic matter; the chemical changes in this
matter seem to have been carried so far a TO
yield little more than vivifying pitrates to
the water, their organic character having en-
tirely disappeared. Indeed, some OF the most
dangerous well-waters are especially spark
ling ard refreshing to the taste. But the
chemical processes which have effected this
change appear to have had no effect on the
germs of disease-if germs they be,-which
retain their injurious character to such a de-
gree that the worst results have often come of
the use OF water that was especially spark
ing and pleasant as beverage.-OctoJer At
