tusks for hundreds of years for pur-
poses of exchange, considering them
of little value. In the Upper Nile re-
gion, the Khartoum merchants first
discovered an accumulation of these
treasures. Dealers finally advanced
to Katanga, thence to the Congo, after
which the ivory trade steadily in
creased. On July 81, 1888, an ivory
market was started in Antwerp, sell
ing Is tons. In 1890 its sales exceeded
those of the Liverpool market, and in
1898 those of London. In February,
May, August and November of each
year, great sales are held there.
There were sold in Antwerp, in 1899,
21.446 tusks from the reserves and
only $3.50 from newly-killed animals.

larger area than France. Tne number
of inhabitants was estimated by Stan
ley to be 29,0O0,O0O. That this is .
minimum is the opinion of Gov. Gen.
Wahis, who visited the Upper Congo
and obtained statistics from govern
ment agents stationed there. The
people are unevenly distributed.
Tracts almost destitute of population
are adjacent to crowded districts. The
largest village in the Free State is
Nmtomba, with a population of 10000.
The general preference. seems to be
for the forests rather than the river
banks as dwelling places.
During it's course the Congo river
changes its name many times, but Mr..
Stanley traced and identified it all
the way. The Lualabo-Kongo, inter-
rupted by cataracts and rapids, flows
northward from the lake region to
about two degrees north of theeequa-
tor, where many islands stud the
broad stream, ten miles wide. Then
its course changes many times. In
the great basin between east ,longi.
tude 26 degrees and east longitude II
degrees, through which it flows, the
river has an uninterrupted course Of
1,4O0 miles, with magnificent affluents.
From here it descends by about 80
falls and flowing rapids to great
river between the falls of Yelala
and the Atlantis. From, the Chibale
mountains to it's mouth the length is
1900 miles. Stanley states thats BY
it's numerous great tributaries it
drains 100000 square miles. 1t has
no delta and but one mouth. Only
the Amazon exceeds the volume of
water it brings down. A steamer
drawing IL feet can steam 110 miles
from its mouth, where it is nearly
ten miles wide and 100 fathoms
deep. -
The Free State is now the personal
property of King Leopold of the
Belgians, and an absolute monarchy.
This form of government is, how
ever, only temporary. Belgium has
had the right to annex the state
since 1890. It is well known that
King Leopold, in making his will, in-
structed that the state become tho
property of Belgium in the event of
his death before it's annexation was
finally voted upon by the Belgian
parliament. It seems outside tho
limits of possibility that such a mag
nifcent gift will be refused, but in
such an event it can be bequeathed to
anyone whom the king desires to
name as his legatee. His successor,
however, must, before accepting the
gift, be authorized to do so by par
lament. The kings nephew, Prince
Albert, son of the count of Flanders,
will probably succeed him on the
throne, EDWARD JULIAN.

existing conditions would seem to in

other nations as well. When the Bel

The rubber trade has been carried
on for about 40 years, but it first at
tracted the attention of the Belgians
few years ago. Now it is prophesied
that it will furnish the great future
wealth of the state, as it has devel-

Free State now holds the first place,
annually furnishing to the world
more than 5000 tons. During the time
of his first expedition, Stanley said
that on the islands Of the Congo river
alone enough rubber could be secured
in year to pay the expense of a rail
road. There are several varieties of
rubber in the Free State.
1t also ranks first among the coun-
tries from which ivory is exported.
About 700 tons of ivory are annually
produced in the world. OF this 600
tons come from Africa. The African
ivory is considered far superior to
that produced in Asia, on account Of
its greater density and waxy softness.

Their being amenable to religious
teaching to remarkable degree goes
to prove that the members of the Con-
go tribes may yet be made useful
members of society. People who have
inherited their Christianity might
even profit by their example. A mis-
sionary states that in one of their
villages school had been formed, and
they had erected church. They SO
rejoiced in their newly-found religious
experiences that they began to con-
slider the condition of their regenerate
neighbors, of the heather natives
across a great river who had not, like
themselves, been blessed by Christian
teaching. They said: 'Those people
know nothing of Jesus, while we are
saved. What shall we do?" In order
to find fitting answer to this query
they held special meeting and gave
the matter long and careful consider
alton. The river was full of croco"
diles, the crossing dangerous, the dis
tance too great for an easy return
journey. Several days must be spent
among those "heathen" who would,
very likely, treat them with great vio-
lence. Yet so Congo church members
crossed the river and preached during
three days so earnestly that they left
converts behind them on their return.
Now a church of 20 members is estab-
lished in that village, who are work.
ing with excellent results among their
neighbors. The negro temperament
is emotional and responds quickly to
religious teaching. The railroad ex-
perience seems to indicate also that
they are not Indifferent to the main
chance" But it would take long and
optimistic look into the future to dis.
cern in them theologians, financiers
and politicians.
