this continent is almost exclusively the
result Of work in the nineteenth century.
But there is still much darkness in regard
to this continent, and the classic ques-
ton Quid novi ex Africa? will probably
be repeated for many years. A territory
little known is between the Niger in the
south, the chain of oasis OF the Tidikelt
in the north, the route OF LEM in the
west and the routes Of Barth and Du
veyriers in the east. Much remains to be
done in the Congo State. Here the
courses Of the larger rivers have been
surveyed, but the vast territory between
the water courses is unknown Hard
work for courageous travellers also is re-
quired to explore the region of the
sources of the Congo and the adjoining
part of British central Africa, Portuguese
west Africa and British east Africa. The
south Of Madagascar is also unknown.
1t may be surprising to many people
that explorers have a wide range of work

gold finds, only begin to show how much

Many people Will be surprised to
learn that the United States has had no
national forestry laws Of special signih-
canoe until within the last three years
AS early as 1917 an attempt was made
In this direction. This act was amend
ed In 1920 to authorize the Secretary
OF the Navy, under the direction Of the
President Of the United States, to re-
serve such public lands as produce tie
live oak and red cedar woods for the
purpose Of supplying the navy with
timber for Its use. Penalties were also
provided in this act for the unauthor-
ized cutting or removing OF timber
from the lands thus reserved or from
any other public lands Of the United
States. Other acts were passed In 1892,
1927 and 1881, but no national policy
OF forestry was outlined in agy of these
measures. Carl Schurz. as Secretary of
the Interior In President Hayes Cab
met, In 1877, strongly urged national
administration Of the public forests and
prepared a bill to that effect. which.
however. failed Of passage. There was
no Further forest protection afforded
until 1891, when Secretary Noble Sc
cured the Insertion Of brief clause to

est reservations, The National Acad
envy Of Sciences next took up the fight
and Secretary Hoke Smith, in Presi
dent Cleveland's admin stratiOn. made
an attempt to carry out system OF
forest reservation on large scale
Finally. by act OF Congress, June
1897, the present forestry law was en-
acted, which is but little more than
an expansion Of that recommended by
Secretary Schurz in 1877.
