The London Lancet very OPPORTUNITY warns
the medical profession and others not familiar
with the symptoms of brain disease, of the ur.
gent necessity of treating "sleeplessness" as a
warning symptom of brain disease. A "curious'
patient, curious because he cannot sleep, should
at once, for his own sake and for that of others,
be carefully watched. Delirium tremens, trau-
matte delirium, and the most dangerous forms of
mama, are all prone to give this warning token
OF their presence, and scarcely any other

COLONIZATION OF CENTRAL.
AFRICA.
From The TimeS.)

At a meeting of the Royal Colonial
Institute, Lieutenant Cameron commenced
by saying that perhaps people thought
that Central Africa was not a place to be
~colopized. He agreed that it could not be
colonized at once and the aborigines cleared
from the country but fit was to be done,
it was to be brought about as they had
done it in India, or in the manner the
Romans, the greatest colonists in the
world, had civilized parts of the earth by
sending out governors, merchants, and
sailors to different ports. A large portion
of the country round Lake Tanganyika
was very fertile, and produced large crops
of cotton. The climate was also salubri-
Gus, and the place was well fitted for a
sanitarlum. Coal and iron were found
about there. The inhabitants were,
however, uncivilized and the surplus
population was kept down by cannibalism.
Through the country which he travelled
he came across mines of various. sorts,
such as to render the land one of the richest

SKATING ON REAL ICE.

Some months since an account appeared
in the "Standard" of an experimental
rink of real ice, the invention of Mr.. John
Gamgee, which was then actually being
tested at the Old Clock House, Kings
town, Chelsea. The other day this rink
which is 81 feet by "a, and forms the
area of a beautifully designed hall, rep
resenting a view 10 the Arctic regions, was
formally opened the other day by a large
gathering of the members and visitors. 1t
will be remembered that Mr.. Gamgee's
very successful mode of making and main
tanning a sheet of ice for skating purposes
was by the alternate condensation and
evaporation OF ether, the intense cold thus
producing being impaired to a mixture
of glycerine and water which never free
yes, and which has the valuable property
of not oxydising metal. This mixture cir
cuiating continually through copper pipes,
flooded to a depth of p inches, speedily
converts it into a sheet of perfect ice,
which might be maintained beneath a
tropical SUM-. Since that description was
given, Mr.. Gamgee has substituted sui
phurous acid for ether, the process with
this difference being precisely the same.
There is 10 limit to the extent to which
water may be thus trozer.-Eup, Nal.

countries producing metal in the world.
There were gold mines, silver mines, iron
mines, and last, but not least, coal mines.
The whole of the country westwards OF
Tanganyika was a maryellously fertile and.
well-watered country, and after leaving
Tanganyika he had only FIVE or six attacks
of fever. But it must be said that he
never gave the climate q fair chance, for
he had not got proper things to eat or
climate always had the best Of him and
those who accompanied him. The climate
in many parts was somewhat similar to
that in British India; and any one who
could live in the South of Europe could
live in the parts where he had been. AZ
present the whole of Africa was one vast
sIave-field the slave trade was increasing,
and whole districts had been rendered.
desolate by this inhuman traffic. 1t the
country was not taken in hand it would
become q wilderness and its valuable
products lost. What was wanted was
that q strong and determined Government
or q great company, should see What
could be done for the country. Having
spoken Of the facilities by which the
internal part of the country could be
approached, he went on to say that by
placing steamers in the river Congo they
would have connexion with the whole of
the African rivers, and would be able to
open up trade with the ivory merchants from
Egypt. AS regarded the traders on the
West Coast, they were cruel men and
guilty Of every species Of barbarity ; and
the ivory brought from there was stained
by the blood OF thousands of poor creatures
who bad been slaughtered. What was
wanted was a company like the old East
India Company with large powers to open
up commerce over the country. While adj
hitting that a great deal of good had been
done in Africa by missionariee~bc was OF
opinion that many men who having failed as
Cobblers and hairdressers, and who sudden.
ly fancied that they were moved by the
spirit to do good to the poor negro, did
more harm than good. An African knew a
gentleman as we'll as any one, and he was
ofOpiniOn that African missionaries should
be gentlemen both by birth and education.
In conclusion, be said he was sure Central
Africa might be coIonized by setting up
stations here and there, by putting steam
ers on the river, and making tramways
where there were no rivers, and by that
means forming a means Of communication
with various parts of the country. He felt
confident it could be done, and he hoped
that tho time would not be far distant
when the Union Jack would be flying
permanently in Central Africa. (Hear, hear,)
A discussion followed, and the proceedings
terminated with vote of thanks to Lieuten-
ant Cameron for bis address.

high and rich country, without any
swamps in its neighborhood to produce
bilious complaints; and westwArdly, il
is connected with the only land on the
Mississippi on which a road can be
made, connecting the eastern part of
the United States with the vast tract
Of country in its possession, and
Of the Spaniards, west Of the river.
The Government Of the United States
has availed itself Of the inestimAble adj
vantages Of this neck Of high lsnd, and
at its own expense has ordered g road to
be opened over it from Memphis to the
Little Rock, the seat Of government OF
Arkansas. This is the nearest point OF
contact by land from the city Of Wash
ington with the great river Mississippi
and its dependencies. and where the
western road Of the United States, ex-
tending through the center of its terri
tory, must cross that river.
The country around Memphis until a
few years past was q wilderness. A
town has been laid of by the owners Of
the land, its neighborhood is nov fast
settling and the town improving The
proprietors, having an aversion against
the town-making and town-suctioaeering
mania which has been pushed beyond all
reasonable bounds, for public or indi
Vidual good, propose TO sell lots on the
most reasonable terms for cash, or &C
commodating credits, particularly
to improvers. In this way those DESTROYS
can take their own time to examine fol
themselves, the lots and adjoining coun
Try, and besides, will have a better op
portunity Of purchasing on lower term
than amidst the competition (often icG
tious) of the public vendue. Commerce
being the source of wealth and respecta
bility with every people, to merchants
mechanics aud others. desirous Of pro
noting their fortunes, it is suggeste,
that they cannot do better than turf
their attention to this point in time
where lets can be procured on low terms
as they must rise in some degree ia pre-
portion to the growth Of the town an,
population of adjacent country. Brick
layers and carpenters are now in grea
demand. Nowhere at present could
few active and industrious companies Q
either class meet with greater encouI
agement. The proprietors have tw
agents, William Lawrence and March,
A. Winchester, Esquires, n or both
whom being always on the spot, wi
enter into the most favorable contract
for lots, with or without money.

The sunday QuestIon

If the receipts of the Centennial Elk
hibition fall off, the Sunday question
will crowd the conciences of the COM
missioners who voted 10 close he doors
on that day. The Chicago Tribune
takes the following view of the subject:
THE experience Of the previous
Worlds Fairs does not warrant the ex-
p~ectation that there will be any profit in
the Philadelphia Exhibition itself. II
the managers shall be able to pay off
the entire cost, without refunding any
part Of 81, SOC, 900 appropriated by Con-
gress, such a result will be q satisfactory
conclusion Of their lsbors; it will be a
better showing, so far as Government
subsidy goes, than London, Paris, or
Vienna has shown. There is one change
which Of itself would do much to bring
about this outcome, and that is to throw
open the Exhibition on Sunday at a pop.
lar admission fee, say twenty-five cents
The increase OF expense would be com.
parstively small; the enlargement of the
receipts is beyond estimate. Not only
the people and regular visitors in Phila-
delphia would flock there in great crowds,
but there would be special excursions
from New York, Pennsylvania, New
Jersey, Ohio and the New England
States that would take thousands upon
thousands of people who would not
otherwise go there. The railroads could
afford to run Sunday trains at q less
cost, and the facilities afforded by such
arrangement would extend the educa.
tional advantages of the Exhibition, ss
we'll as increase its income. No secta.
rian prejudice ought to be permitted tC
prevent this obvious Improvement in the
arrangements. The most serious disap
pointment OF the whole affair is likely to
come to those who have paid or agreed
to pay exorbitant prices for special priv.
ileges on the Centennial grounds, AND
those who have laid out more money in
providing temporary accommodations
and outside amusements than they car
possibly get back. There will be serious
individual losses on this account, anC
perhaps a large loss to the Exhibition
Company in the failure to collect SOm,
of the licenses they have counted on
But, in spite of all this, the artistic AM
industrial success Of the Exhibition is s
far assured already as to be Q matter c
national satisfaction and pride"
