The popular idea Of how the war cy-
cloramas. like the Battle Of Gettysburg,
Battle Of Shiloh. Battle Of Cbicksmauga,
etc, are painted appears very laugbablo
to q person who knows how the work is
accomplished. The Battle Of Gettysburg
and the Siege % Paris have been shown
for several years on opposite sides OF
Hubbard court, in Chicago. and the stock
paid largo dividends. Each was adver-
tised as the work Of celebrated French
artists, father and son, and the popular
idea is that these gentlemen painted them'
The fact is that beyond general out
lining Of the work. which was probably
faithfully made after maps procured from
authentic sources and q general direction
of the plan Of the work. the artist in
chief had very little TO do with 1t. No
man engaged in a battle sees it, and an
accurate PAINTING Of two armies in COM
bat is impossible The general features
only are known. For instance in the
Gettysburg painting there are accurately
defined thcroads, Crown Hill, Little Crown

The topography of the country is de-
picted with excellent perspective. But
the details OF tic lattle, the actual clash
Of arms between this and that division
or brigade, IS left good dell 70 the
imagination.
The arlist-in-chicf hires some men TO
PIT in the sky. other men TO put in the
trees and foliage, other men to put in
the men in action Attention is paid to
developing this or that memorable Incl
dent as in the Gettysburg painting, the
death Of the cannoneer, the amputation
OF the soldiers limb beside the haystack.
Take it all together, it makes up a
picture that is thrilling enough to arouse
the most intense interest on the part Of
the old soldier. remember standing by

NOWADAYS when q man travels there IS
no reason. if he visits some country that
has not been exhausted why he should
not bring back many solid and accurate
facts of scientific value, even though he
may lack extended training in science.
Both the English and the Germans have
comprehensive hand books compiled by
the most notable authorities, giving the
traveller manifold hints hCw TO make his
wanderinss useful 10 the world They
show him in the simplest possible manner
the methods Of making route maps, Of
ascertaining most easily and accurately
the width and velocity Of rivers, the
height Of mountains, ATTITUDES. longitudes
and so on. They point out the facts he
needs 10 observe TO give biologists the
clearest idea of the physical structure Of
a country. They show him how to make
and preserve collections in natural his
tory, supply hints on surveying and pho
tographv, and tell him Just what to do to
make his observations valuable.
If, in addition 10 those hints he desires
preliminary instruction and practical
field training. ample provisions to meet
his wants have been supplied by the
geographical societies in London, Paris
and Berlin, where at moderate cost lin
London only two shiilings and sixpence
an hour lie is drilled in surveying and
mapping, geology, including field train
ing, geological survey. botany, and pho
Biography. This IS all the preliminary
training that many Of our most eminent
explorers, including Stanley, have re-
ceived. Many ingenious devices and cx-
pedionts have also been invented 10 facili-
tate the work Of the explorer, of which
we need only mention here the French
color plates, each TINT having its own
number. by means Of which the traveller
is able TO give a far more accurate idea Of
the color of the people he meets than he
could convey by any description. The
invention of dry plates in photography
also has been a great boon to explorers.--

As n whole nation we me not greatly
concerned TO inquire into the prospects Of
African commerce. We are not bound
to consider closely whether good OF bad
trade Will be the outcome of the recent
agreement between France, Germany,
and Great Britain on the affairs of Fan
zibar. on what will be the trade results Of
our OWN recent great acquisition of ex-
elusive influence in the southern parts Of
the country. 1t must yet be borne in
mind that trade questions are themselves
intimately bound up with the rescue Of
the African from his tyrants; seeing that
commerce, as it is at present conducted
IN many parts Of Eastern Central Africa,
even that larger kind of commerce with
which the white man eventually deals at
the sea coast cmporia, necessarily
involves the employment of slaves as
carriers.
In roadless regions inhabited by people
who are too primitive TO breed cattle,
and where belts Of country infested by
tho tsetse Nv have to be crossed, none
but human beasts Of burden can bear the
products of industry. An elephant may
be killed q thousand miles from the
coast, and each tusk is the burden of a
negro slave to the nearest seaport, while
it Will have taken three or four negroes
70 carry the calico required 80 pay the
elephant hunter in the interior. Slavery
and slave carriage is therefore at present
necessary inciden, OF trade in many
parts Of Africa. 1t is evident that if
civilized modes of carriage are once es-
tablished in the German and English
"sphcrcs of influence, slave borne traffic
will give way TO cheaper and more
speedy conveyance by road, by rail, or
by nayigable riyer. Nineteenth Century.
