AFRICA NEEDS RAILWAYS,
Stanley Says So and He Also Talks Anogs
French Doings.

The Paris Figaro publishes an ac-
count of an interview which it's Lon
don correspondent has had with II. NJ.
Stanley on the subject Of African colon
ization. Mr.. Stanley is represented to
have said in the course or the inter-
view: The future of Africa belongs
to those who shall the soonest and the
quickest act on the simple truth that
what is wanted is railways to bring
travellers back in three days from the
western SOudan to Algeria. The con-
structiOn of such railways would not
cost more than 5000 francs per killo-
meter, and with some Tirailleurs as an
advance guard the Tuaregs would leave
the working parties alone. When you
have 1900 miles of navigable waterway
on the Niger-that is to say, almost the
entire commerce Of that great river
then you will have ivory, copol. skins,
gold, India rubber, etc. There is. in
deed, as great a wealth of resources in
Africa as in France, as has been proved
by the results obtained since 1925 by
the English in the south, where gold,
diamonds and the rest today bring Eng
land in 125,000,O0O francs a year. Why"
Mr.. Stanley is reported to have con-
L4luGN, Ald9 L dI'Ct sum NlpIlt ilOlillil5
with the Niger, although you have
many French explorers in its vicinity?
The French are very good explorers,
and thanks to them, you know perfect
ly the topography of the country. But
how many years will it be before you
know what there Is underneath? Sure
~ there is gold, surely there is coal,
perhaps diamonds. but they have 10 be
sought for. Today the French may de-
spise the Soudan, but the SOudan is for
them the means Of arriving at the
Niger Basin, which is a marvellous gar
den provided with a very luxuriant
vegetation and filled with charming
spots watered by countless tributaries
which will pour into the great river
which is yours the immense wealth Of
their banks"
In conclusion Mr.. Stanley is reported
to have said: THE French are still en-
gagged in the policy of annexation. Ex-
plorers are constantly on the move, but
the time has now come 20 set to work.
You have established a military sta
ton at Timbuctoo, but that is ar isolats
ed post connected with no point Of the
French colony. The river Is waiting
for the steamboat and the country for
Its railway. Without them all those con-
quests Of yours will remain barren"

ITALY'S BROTHERS OF MERCY
Members of the Misericordia, Whose
Duty Il To Attepd he dead

Members of the MisericoFdia, Whose
Duty 1t Is to Attend the Dead.
There is a society in Italy called the
Misericordia - Brothers of Mercy
whose duty 1t is to attend to the dying
and the dead. Many Of the members
belong to the aristocracy, and they are
as prompt to answer the call for aid as
the humblest member. At the sound Of
the summoning bell, no matter how
they are employed-at marriage
feast, a christening or with the grave
and important duties of life-they
must leave all and hasten to the church
to present themselves at the oratory Of
the Misericordla. Here they change
their garments and put on long, lack
robes, with peaked hoods over their
heads and faces. their eyes alone visi-
bic through two holes cat IN the cowl
They form themselves into pairs ac-
cording to their height, and, raising the
black-covered litter, walk forth with
even, rapid steps and in perfect ST.
lence. The member present who hap
pens to be highest in rank in the hier-
archy OF the order acts as captain
Should there be need Of a last hurried
ehrift for the dying, 1t is the duty of the
captain to prepare this-the crucifix,
the candle, the breviary and holy OIL
These large linen sheets and a counter
pane are also taken to wrap about and
conceal from view of the curious the
dead or dying. The dexterity, as well as
the gentleness, with which the broth
eys Of the Misericordia handle their
charges is often commented on.
