Since the stir made by Mr.. Stanley's

dark continent and the announcement
of the founding of the Congo free state,
little attention has been paid to equa-
torial Africa and many persons have
undoubtedly believed that the expert

Guy Burrows fascinating book, "The
Land Of the Pigmies," just published by
Crowell q Co., speaks with enthusiastic
conviction regarding its success. In

Lord Salisbury was pleased to charac-

revenue of 100000 pounds for the cur
