NEW AFRICAN LAKE.
French Occupati tion of Timbuctoo Adds
to Geographical Knowledge.

~ UcoSrdpnIcal 1AnOWleuSes
From the Edinburgh Scotsman.
Although the occupation of rimbuctoo
by the French has not yet added ma
terially to the volume Of Frances colonial
trade, it has unquestionably added very
greatly to our knowledge of the geography
Of that part of Africa, and in particular
terest and Importance.
Timbuctco, as all the world knows stands
on the bouI dairy line betw cen the Sahara
and the western Soudan-a little to the
north of the great Niger bend-but what
was not known was the existence in the
immediate neighborhood of the city, and
lying somewhat to the west, of series of
lakes and marshes covering a large area
of country. These great sheets of water
were first seen by the Joffre column, and
have since been explored by French Of
ficers stationed in the neighborhood, who
have laid down their general outlines with
some approach to accuracy.
The most important of these lakes is
called Lake Faguibure, and runs in a di-
rection, roughly. east and west, its total
length being some sixty or seventy miles
A couple of smaller sheets of water connect
with the Niger, and there are other lakes
in the neighborhood. AS might be sup
posed, these lakes are the center Of a rich
agricultural and pastoral district. Crops
of various kinds are grown in abundance,
and the natives have large hocks and herds.
Perhaps the most curious feature Of the
discovery IS the fact that neither Barth
ror DIR. LaZ appears to have heard of this
fertile region, and it is to be presumed that
the guides deliberately led them away
from the direction of the lakes. The news
Of this discovery will no doubt revive the
interest in the occupation of Timbuctoo in
France, where, after the first enthusiasm
was over, there was marked tendency to
criticise Col. Bonnier's act as rash and pre-
r.
than weakened by the recent troubles with
the Tauregs.
The results of observations on the cli-
mate of that part of Africa establish, it is
said, the perfect feasibility of Europeans
living there the whole year round, with GER
tain precautions. The months of April and
May are said to be the most trying, not
only for Europeans. but for natives. but
December and January are so cool that a
greatcoat is sometimes welcome and the
natives report that one year ice formed-at
least this is the deduction drawn from the
native statement that "the marsh became
stone"

An Outland Voyage.

The tall ships come and the tall ships On
Across the purple bay;
But there's never ship so fair and fine
Never ship so brave as mine
As mine that sailed away
Bright In the light, and gray in the shade.
And white when the waves glow dun
The gulls go by with their great wings spread:
But the sails of my ship were gold and red.
And they shone like the setting sun
They make good cheer In the tavern here
The sailors home from sea;
But the crew Of my ship they feast with kinrs
In emerald crowns, and opal rings,
And coats Of the cramoise.
Fine is the freight their ships bring in,
Bnt mine bears finer far;
Pearls and roses, and links Of gold,
Myrrh. and amber, and rich bales rolled.
As bright as the morning star.
Twas May-day morn that my ship set sail,
With the dew her fgurehead;
Her bows were wreathed with the hawthorn bloom,
As che stole through the dusk of the dawning gloom
Like ghost, or bride new-wed.
The MI y-days dawnd nd the May days die,
Ard the hour draws near, know;
The day when my ship shall come for me
To carry me back to mine countrie,
East Of the sun by the ontmost sea,
In the heart of the Long Ago.

That's all you know about IT," said the

He is just the jolliest company imag-
