THE HEART OF AFRICA.
An Interesting Lecture to High School Pupi
by Capt Hore.

An Interesting Lecture to High School Pupils
by Capt Hore.
Capt Z. G. Hore, +. R G. g., the African
explorer and missionary, who spoke to the
Geographical Society last week. addressed the
High School pupils Tuesday afternoon. He
gave a short history of his own life, telling
how he had in boyhood determined to be .
sailor and the difficulty of obtaining his parents
consent to go to sea. Capt. Hore said Africa
is known as the new continent because we are
just beginning to learn about it, but II is,
however, very old. There are remains Of
cities all along the north shore, from. the
Atlantic to the south Of the Red sea, which
stand now in Just the same condition they
we're in when America was discovered.
Hardy explorers have penetrated the jungles
and discovered within the verdant coast line the
great sandy belt, occupied in the north by the
Arabs. in the east by the Abyssinians and in the
far south by the Hottentots, and entirely in
closing the central part Of Africa. It's greatest
width. Of course, is in the northern part, where
is the broad Sahara, and it is narrowest in the
southeast. where it is only 200 miles wide.
THE MOUNTAINS OF THE NOON.
Across this sandy plain looms up the Noun
tains Of the Moon, really q vast plateau,
thousands Of miles in extent, 80 called because
the natives on all sides see the moon either rise
over them or 60 down behind them.
Here is the source of the historic Nile flowing
to the north, the Zambesi to the southeast and
the mighty Congo to the west, furnishing to
all the continent its life, being geographically
and physiologically the very Heart Of
Africa" Capt. Hore spoke particularly
of his work on Lake 1anganyika.
One great improvement in African travel which
had been made since he and his associates had
gone there was in the time taken to reach the
interior. A few years agoit was called an eight
months journey from the coast to Lake Tan
ganyika. That time had been 80 reduced that
when he took his wife and child with him they
made the trip in seventy-two days. In conclu-
sion he said: If any Of you are called to posi-
tons of influence as no doubt you will be, I
beg you to think Of this people as Gods people
and Of this land as Gods land"

HOW 1T WORKS,
The Present Industrial System and It's Neces-
sary Results.

Inc ITestnt lnuuStr1al system and Its Neces.
sary Results.
DIR. W. W. Townsend read paper at the
meeting Of the Nationalist Club last night on
the subject ''How 1t Works." talking mainly on
the workings of the present industrial system
and its necessary results. He told of the
crowding of the cities and the professions at the
expense of the rural population. He said that
the gap between the classes is becoming more
and more sharply defined and it depended upon
the middle class to find solution to the prob
lem whereby the world might not become an
organization of masters and slaves only. The
solution might be had in the combination of
the farmers and the wage Gamers of cities, but
just at present this combination could not lie
expected.
At the conclusion of the paper Congressman
Otis made few remarks. Senator PETER is
expected to address the club at its meeting this
evening.
