EAST AFRICAN CLIMATE.

The pestiferous climate offers one of
the most difficult problems in relation
to the development of German East
Africa. A few days ago Major Won
Wissmann delivered an address upon
this subject before scientific body in
Berlin. He vigorously opposed sug-
gestion that German peasants be in
duced to emigrate thither. 81 assert" :"
said he, ''that in East Africa we have
not foot of land which may be termed
absolutely healthy. We have no safe
remedy for malaria and dysentery,
those deadly enemies Of Europeans.
Were we to send out 80 peasants to
cut wood they would have to tramp
two months to their work. and within
year 25 would be dead Europeans,
he declares, can only engage in plant
ing, trade, ranching or mining opera
tions; they cannot work with the ak.
The chief obstacles in the way of max
ing an India out of German East A fri
ca were, he said, the thinness of the
population, the low grade of the native
intelligence and the fewness of their
wants. With Germany in control the
population, he argued, would increase,
as wars and slave-raiding would be
stopped, and child-murder discouraged.
He suggested the possible introduction
of Indians and coolies from the Malay
peninsula and expressed the opinion
that England would not object to i'm
migration from some the most dense
ly populated parts of India, especially
in times offamine. But agriculturists
were wanted, not traders. AS for the
native Africans, it was extremely diff
cult so turn them to account or devise
any method of taxation which could
be protitably collected, for they had
practically no wants and therefore had
no incentive to work
