devotion TO trade gin. to the picture which
travellers draw of the great Hausa states
or the soudan. under Nohammedan domin-
lon. for a century. where such a thing as a
bottle of spirits is never seen. For a hum
dred years the Mohammedans Of North
AFRICA have been pushing across the Sahara
and the Soudan. bringing all the barbarous
people they have met under the influence
OF Islam. Thus Mohanlmedanism has far
more profoundly affected the lives of many
millions OF black Africans than the Chris
tlan influences. which are only just be
ginning to make large Roadway. 1t cannot
be said that this influence of Islam is wholly
ealutary, though many Observers like the
learned Doctor Blyden Of Liberia. regard
Islam as the GREATEST ciyilizing agency
yet introduced into Africa: but these Mos
lem proselytes have made the natives bet
ter than they found them. and have stirnu-
lated foreign trade with darkest Africa to
a remarkable extent When Stanley and

great caravan that crosses the Sahara from
Morocco to Timbuctoo starts on its way
The caravan always numbers about 10 900
camels, and fifth of them are laden with
