Towns of Mushroom Growth No
Longer Popularity of the
Wild West.
The current number of the Engineer
ing Magazine has all interesting survey
of Railroad Development in Africa"
from the pen of Cyrus G. Adams. Only
five years ago, he says, magnificent
harbor was discovered at the mouth of
the Pungwe river. about lis miles be-
low the Zambesi delta. 1t is about two
miles wide and six miles long, and on
it's northern shore has arisen the town
of Beira, where 500 Europeans, half of
them~British, are now living.
Beira is one of Africa's latest marvels.
Probably no white man.. SIX years ago,
had even seen the barren prOmontory
of sand it occupies. On November 2S,
1902. a locomotive that had been put
together in Beira pulled through one OF
the streets and little way out OF
the town; for Beira is to be the port
of MaShonaland, the region OF mountain
and plateau where British enterpriseis
opening new gold fields. A month ago
thirtv-fiye mites of the railroad had been
completed. The route for nearly halt
the way to MaSSikesse lies along the
Bust river. Its total length is less than
200 miles. its longest bridge has a span
of about 500 feet. and the cost of the
road is estimated at about S., G00,000.
The Mozambique company. Port
ueuese eorporatiou, is carrying out the
work, but by arrangement the British
South Africa company is to have GER
tain privileges in the management OF
the road. and will build an extension
from the Portuguese frontier at Massi
kesse to Eft. Salisbury, the!seat of govern.
ment in Mashonaland. The Portuguese
line is to be completed by the end of this
wear. and then the British extension
will be pushed forward. This line will
give TO Observation-Disclosures i'll agri-
cultural and mineral resources and the
salubrity of its climate is one Of the
most favored parts of Africa-its
shortest outlet to the sea. Beira is
destined to be port of large Importance
and lots for business purposes are now
selling for 81 800 to $1,000 apiece in {
place which not many months ago wa;
a barren waste. Five years ago only
three white men had ever visited
Mashonaland; its present population
| includes 5000 white settlers.

Amick Not in Any syndicate

CINCINNATI, May 2S. = DR.. w. R.
Amck, of this city, the discoverer OF
the cure for consumption, disclaims any
connection with any of the syndicateS
organized to open sanitariums based on
his discovery. He says the physicians
in charge can obtain the treatment from
him just as any doctor can, but he is on
record as stating that his treatment will
effect cure IN the patients own home
as well as away from it, if under
physicians care. To prove this, DR..
Amick sends test medicines to all phYsl-
clans of good standing without cost.

Concerning the Stars.

The Great Divide.
The least distance determined for the
fixed stars from the earth runs into bill
ions Of miles. Some notion of the real
ity may be derived from the fact that il
our sun were removed about 10000
times It's present distance from
the earth. it would appear TO us
simply as a star OF the first magnitude.
The distance IN such case would ex-
coed 20, 600. 900, 600 of miles. 1t follows
that If the nearest fixed star is further
off than this, as appears to be the fact,
every star of the first magnitude must
be larger or brighter than the sun,

Very frequently we see among our

Sometimes we see the same article

the part Of a great many newspapers.

We are loath to account for it because
of negligence, for we want to believe
all editors are careful, painstaking men
and would not be negligent about such
an important affair.

AIN HIGH.

One of the saddest phases of the edu-
cational condition of the State, certain
ly of the east, is the fact that so many
OF our boys and young men have dis
carded the notion of higher education,
if indeed they ever had the notion.
Probably not one in five hundred even
have the remotest idea of advancing
farther than the mere rudiments OF
learning.
Several causes have been operating
to bring about this state of affairs. Sew
eral things have tended to produce this
Indifference on the part OF our young
men. One of them is the poverty of
the country. Boys are told from their
very infancy that common education
is all that their fathers can afford to
give them.
This is potent reason but we don
believe it is the chief one If we will
look little deeper, we will find a reas-
on that is more potent, more damaging
to the cause of higher education than
that. 1t is cause that may have
grown out of the other one, but it is
distinct nevertheless, and influences
our young men perhaps more than
any others. We mean anxiety 10 get
into business
AS soon as young man has acquired
education enough to get along, he gets
the idea that he must be making some
thing for himself. He gets the idea
that the great object of an education is
to enable a person to make money
Money is the plum that all mouths are
watering after, and so he casts aside his
notions about completing his education
and joins in with the crowd th;;. Is
scram bling for the dollar.
1t is difficult task to convince them
that the chief object Of education
is to elevate the race, and put them on
a higher plain of usefulness. Tell them
to aim high, and nine out of ten will
think that you mean to make big
pile of dollars
1t is disastrous for young man to
begin to get an education for the pur-
pose OF making money. That, of
course, must come along as natural
consequence; but it should not be his
purpose. He should have a higher
and nobIer aim than that. He should
desire to equip himself thoroughly to
benefit humanity and the community
in which he lives.
Education is invaluable It cannot
be measured in value by dollars and
cents. The young man should not
want to get living's worth of it and
stop at that. He should desire to get
enough, not only for himself, but also
for his fellow men.

Flirting Prevents Marriage.

1t is thought filtration, which has ad
yanced to something like fine art,
that many marriageble young folks
lose their chance Of life Filtration
DESTROYS confidence between the per-
sons who indulge in it; it prevents the
natural growth OF mutual esteem 1t Is
not a thing of good faith. 1t Is an
error to suppose that love-making and
filtration are indentical. Loyemaking
is tender and enrolling, while tiirta-
ton is cruel, foolish, and demeaning.
The one is the prelude to welded hap

Young men and women should exer-
else their reason while on the lookout

them give encouragement to t1lrters,

PERIOD OF REVOLUTIONS.

Just at this time there seems to be
indications of revolution in many corln-
some 1t may bear some resemblance
to 1913, when nearly every throne in
the world trembled to its foundation.
Evidently the masses are restless in
more countries than ours.
Brazil is struggling in the midst of a
revolution that surpasses anything that
has yet happened in that land of revo-
lutions. The outcome of it there, is
watched for by four hemispheres, be-
cause it is expected to decide forever
the fate of the western world.
Hawaii is, too, in the midst of trouble.
The revolution that was accomplished
there year ago by which Queen Lieu
okalani was driven from her thrown is
now about to be reversed. The United
States government has withdrawn its
unwarranted interference and it is ex-
pected that the queen will soon be res
tored to the vacant throne. She ought
to be. 1t is her right and United
States Minister Stevens did wrong
thing last year when he influenced the
people to dethrone her.
Cuba, also, is about to become the
scene of another revolution. Rebel
lous bands are reported as mobilizing
in various places in the island, and the
authorities will have to exert their pow
er to prevent an outbreak. And Next
CO, poor weak Mexico, is about to keep
the ball rolling by getting up another
armed opposition to the government.
Away over in Africa the English gov
eminent has had some trouble in SUD-
pressing an uprising among the Afri-
cans, and South Africa is thus con-
tributing to the general disorder
throughout the world.
In our own land revolution will
doubtless be accomplished within the
next year Or SO. But the revolution
that Is needed here, and is devoutlv to
be wished for, Will be accomplished by
the mighty power of the ballot. After
all, the most effective revolutions are
the ones that are brought about in that
way.
Mello and Peixotto can shoot at each
other yonder on the other side
OF the equator South African canni-
balls can pick the bones of their En-
gllsh enemies the Cubans can fight ::
and the Mexicans can quarrel but the
people of the United States will follow
no such examples, but will effect their
revolution by the bloodless power of the
ballot.
