Experts agree that two of the most
important engineering enterprises now
under way are the building, in Africa,
of the railway up the Nile to Kar-
toum, possibly of later extension to
the African lakes still further south,
where the Nile takes its rise, and the
Uganda railway in British East Africa,
running from the Indian ocean to
Victoria lake. These two lines will,
beyond doubt, sometime meet in
mid-Africa and complete an all-Brit-
ish route south from the Mediterranean
across the equator to the Indian ocean,
leaving connections with Buluwayo
and the Cape for later date. The
Uganda railway has it's eastern ter
minus at Mombasa, British base Just
north OF Zanzibar. The place is about
four degrees south of the equator, and
work on the line was originally begun
two or three years ago. There has
been an aggregate advance of about
96 miles in seven months.

and to organize all workers in this

as reward for gratuitous personal
services rendered in the relief of sick

mitted to the order without the sane
tion of the queen, and the decoration
of the order may be worn on all occa-

The state of Nebraska has marked
an epoch in its history by repeating
the state bounty law on planting,
pas ed only twenty years ago. In the
interval Nebraska has been trans
formed from desert to garden, and
the necessity for timber cultivation
no longer exists. The course of this
western state in this matter is in
marked contrast with the policy which
in the state of New York has permitted
wholesale forest destruction. A tree
less state is necessarily a desert, and
New York can afford to learn q lesson

1t seems reasonable to argue, from
the late extraordinary agitation over
the illness of Mr.. Kipling, that the
writer's trade is in better case than
it used to be, thinks Life. What a
first-class literary success means in
money under the present international
copyright arrangements is yet to be
tested, and it is possible that Mr.. Kip
ling will be the first to test it. AS vet
no writer has come 10 the big new
market with such line of wares as
Walter Scott or Dickens sold. Steven
son had only half chance. The man
who in these days can go on for, say
thirty years, producing annually one
volume of fiction, which is indispensa-
BILE to the comfort of the average
English reading family, is liable, if
he keeps out of the publishing busi-
ness and eschews real estate specula-
tions, to accumulate very comforta-
BILE estate. And besides the money,
there is fame; and besides fame, there
is the opportunity to make an impor-
tant impression on the contemporary
mind. When the recovery of popu-
lar writer from an illness is matter for
worldwide rejoicing, we must consid-
er that the literary business is pretty
geod.

Anglo-Saxon bluejackets in Samoa
are doing the work of the information
al police of civilization, says the New
York Commercial Advertiser. British
sailors have been doing this work all
over the world for generations. In
the last generation German sailors
have enlisted in the international po-
lice. Though they have good will, the
Germans have made some blunders
from lack of experience. Now the
American navy is doing its share of
the work, as part of the regular
international force, after some bril-
liant volunteer service with the British
in China and japan. The union is
happy. The work is fit for the Teu-
tonic temper, and the union of the
three nations in it is the best guaranty
for the maintenance of order, in these
parts of the world that have not
learned to organize their own police
and command order for themselves.
