TRYING TO CIV. LIE AFRICA.
One Result Is That the Natives Are Now
Fighting Over Creeds.

One Result Is That the Natives Are Now
Fighting Over Creeds.
European nations are making the I'M
pleasant discovery that African coloni-
cation is both dangerous and difficult.
History ought to have taught them a
similar lesson. Its pages are studded
with stirring events in the early settle
'ment of America and India in which the
natives served as pawns in the hands of
rival nationalities to defeat each other.
Nature seems to have intended that the
early settlers of the country should en-
counter obstacles and hardships in
order to improve the race. Such has
been the result in America and to a less
extent in India, where the masterful
race has had, in addition, to contend
with the depressing effects of climate.
Africa bids fair to reproduce in an ex-
aggerated form all the ugly features of
colonization. England, Germany and
|, France have undertaken to partition
the country before exploring it and de-
fining with something like precision the
metes and bounds of their respective
spheres of influence, but without con
sidering the wishes and sympathies of
the natives, who by right of prior pos
session are the owners of the soil. Nor
have they shown much more respect for
the claims of minor powers, Spain, Por-
tugal and Belgium, but, as often hap
pens when the big robbers grow in
flated over the spoils and quarrel with
each other, the small fry may yet como
in for share of the swag.
Violent strife appears to have devel-
oped in the Uganda country, where
British, German and French spheres are
so nebulously marked that they en-
croach upon each other; strange to say,
the French and Germany have united
in protesting against the outrages per-
petrated by the British. The latter are
accused of stirring up religious war
among the natives, in which repeating
rifles and Maxim guns are made to fig
ure conspicuously. 1t is certainly
queer, this idea of native African armies
fighting to the death over creeds which
they had not heard of twelve months
ago, and whose highest notions of the
Deity were embodied in hideous images
of wood and stone, and practically il
Illustrated by the annual sacrifice of
hundreds of human victims. The Bal
timore American is inclined to think,
if the reports are true, that religion
has been used as a cloak by the colon
lists to conceal their ambitious designs
of territorial aggrandizcment. The
British have been the most arbitrary
and most successful of colonists. Their
enemies say of them that they are the
lucl1iest, but luck is very apt to follow
those who have the skill and pluck to
conquer it. 1t remains to be seen
whether their assurance or luck, I
whichever it may be called, viii stand |
by them in this African business.

LIBRARY OF THE VATICAN.
The Most Valuable Collection in the World
Housed in Magnificent Rooms

The Most Valuable Collection in the World
Housed in Magnificent Rooms.
The great movement of the renais-
sance began late at Rome and closed
early; it is generally said to have lasted
from the time of Pope Nicholas v,
1447 to 1927, when the town was sacked
by the army of Charles V. This repre-
SCENTS less than a century, but in this
short time marvcls were produced, says
a writer in Harper's Weekly. The
course pursued by men of genius in the
revival of letters and of the arts has
everibeen the same. Antique master
pieces have, in the first place, been ex-
humed, then an attempt has been made
to initiate them and this attempt has
succeeded. Ancient books were the
first to be brought to light again.
Drawn from the obscurity of converts,
collected together and explaining each
other, placed at the service of all stu
dents, these books disseminated through
out the world a passion for knowledge
which transformed society.
In this revival of literature and of the
ancient sciences Rome played grand
part. If we want to get an idea of
the renaissance, when the treasures
of Greece and Rome were SO eagerly
sought after, we must go to the library
of the vatican. 1t may be said to have
been founded by Nicholas ", who was
the first to give it any Importance. lie
sent Enoch of Ascoli and many others
to search the converts of Germany and
take from them all they could find; at
~ DO lo- d
fore the Turks, brought to him Homer
and Plato. Before his death Nicholas
V. had added five thousand valuable
manuscripts to those owned by his
predecessors. Since then the number
has been greatly increased and there
are now more than twenty-five thou
sand. No library in the world is as /
rich in this respect as the vatican. As
we enter it we cannot but feel q sense (
of veneration when we remembera all that
has been done by its means to aid the
progress of thought and to promote the
good of humanity. As matter of fact,
these precious works, which embody all
the genius of antiquity, are treated .
with the greatest Difference. They are
housed in magnificent rooms, which are
pas III with marble and frcscoes, and
some of the more precious of the manu-
scripts are exhibited to the reverent
gaze of visitors in glass cases. But there
is no doubt that all these honors are
fully merited.
