Nowadays when man travels there is
no reason, If he visits some country that
has not been exhausted, why lie should
rot bring back many solid and accurate
facts Of scientific value, oven though he
may lack extended training in scieEcc.
Both tho English and tho Germans have
comprehensive hand books compiled by
the most notable authorities, giving the
traveller manifold hints how to make his
wandorings useful to the world. They
show him in the simplest possible manner
tho methods OF making route maps, Of
ascertaining most easily and accurately
the width and velocity Of rivers, the
height of mountains, latitudes, longitudes
and so on, They point out the facts he
needs to observe to give biologists the
cIearest idea Of the physical structure Of
q country. They show him how to make
and preserve collections in natural his
tory, supply hints on surveying and pho
Biography, and tell him just what to do to
make his observations valuable.
II, in addition to 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

training that many Of our most eminent
explorers, including Stanley, have re-
ceived. Many ingenious devices and OK

tato the work Of the explorer, of which
we need only mention hero the French
color plates, each tint having its own

is able TO give fl" 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 great boon to explorers. -

The popular idea Of how the war cy-
cloramas, ike the Baltic OF Gettysburg,
Battle Of Shiloh, Battle Of Chickamauga,
etc, are painted appears very laughable
to q person who knows how tho work is
accomplished. The Battle OF Gettysburg
and the Siege of Paris have been shown
for several years on opposite sides of
Hubbard court, in Chicago, and the stock
paid large 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 TINT, beyond a general out
lining of the work, which was probably
faithfully made after maps procured from
I authentic sources and a general direction
Of the plan Of the work, the artist in
chief had very little TO do with it. No
man engaged In battle sees it, and an
accurate painting of two armies Ia COM
bat is impossible. The general features
only are known. For instance, in the
Gettysburg painting there are accurately
defined the roads, Crown Hill, Little Crown
Hill, the wheat field in which memorable
| charge was made, one or two buildings
which were headquarters Of the leading
generals, and with reasonable accuracy,
the topography of the country is de-
picted with excellent perspective. But
| the details of the battle, tho actual clash
of arms between this and that division
or brigade, is left good deal to the
Imagination.
The artist-in-chief hires some men to
put 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 Tho part Of
tho old soldier. remember standing by
the side Of veteran at the Chicago
picture Of Gettysburg. he was explain
ing to companion the details Of the
fight, in which lie bad borne an honor

ties shrewd artists never fail to bestrew

LONDON, Nov. 2l.-In the British house Of
commons Monday the government intro
duced u bill to appropriate $4,000, 900 to
further facilitate the purchase of lands in
Ireland by tenants. Mr.. Madden, solicitor
general for Ireland, said that there had
under the act been IA, 1913 agreements for
purchase signed, Of which 1852 had bsen
completed.
MIR. Gladstone did not seriously object to
the act, although its effect is to substitute
the state for the landlords, and rather shovel
gold into the pockets OF the landlords than
relieve the tenants. He desired to amend il
so as to empower the courts to reduce or
cancel arrears of rent that are found to be
excessive.

As n whole nation we are not greatly
concerned to inquire into the prospects Of
African commerce. We are not bound
to consider closely whether good or 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
tho country. 1t must yet be borne in
mind that trade questions arc themselves
intimately bound up with the rescue al
tho African from his tyrants; seeing that
commerce, us it is at present conducted
in many parts of Eastern Central Africa,
even that larger kind Of commerce with
which tho white man eventually deals at
the sen coast c,nporia, necessarily
involves the employment Of slaves aS
carriers.

who arc too primitive to breed cattle,
and where belts of country infested by

coast, and each tusli is the burden OF a
negro slave to tho nearest seaport, while
it wall have taken three or four negroes
to carry the calico required TO pay the
elephant hunter in the interior. Slavery
