| 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
tion Quid novi ex Africa? will probably
be repeated for many years. \ 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 wide range of work
in North America, yet n glance at the
black spots on the chart will show this
to be the fact. Researches in the far
Northwest and in Alaska, caused by the
gold finds, only begin TO snow how much
remains to be doae here, despite the en-
ergy with which the government Of the
United States and of Canada push sur
veys year after year. Much territory
in Labrador and in the regions between
the great rivers and lakes of the North
is also still unexplored.
Much in South America
A glance at the chart of South America
shows that this part Of the western hemi
snhere is almost rs unknown as Dark
ost Africa OF the Andes in Peru, the
neaks in Bolivia, and the central noun
tain chains in the south of Yenezuela
and Guiana nothing is known. A large
number of rivers have been explored
within the last twenty years, but other,
still are waiting for the courageous trav
eler.

S7N an exhaustive article in the Clio
bus, a well-known German periodical
- devoted to geography, DR.. Rudolph
Andree sums up the achievements Of the
country in regard to geography, and while
he claims that the nineteenth century
may well be termed the century Of dis
coveries, he comes to the conclusion that
it will still be the work of many years
before the surface of the earth is known.
The unknown parts of the globe are illus
trated in series of charts in which the
terra incognita" is represented in black.
Concerning the regions around the
north pole about which nothing is known,
the tasks Of future explorations may be
briefly indicated as follows: In the Ash
atic-European Polar Sea, from Wrangel
Land in the east to north of Spitzbegen

the drifts of the Jeanette in 1881 and Of

Of Independence Bay, 1892, but
beside these that part of the eastern
coast from Cape Bismarck Rayer, 1900
to Independence Bay, with the ocean in
front of it, is unknown. Nearly determin-
ed is the extent of Grinnell Land toward
the west, while Of the extent of the Files
mere Land south of it and about the
ocean north Of Parry archipelago abso-
lutely nothing is known. Large parts of
the coast of Bafin's Land also need ex-
ploration. In this respect the next few
years are likely to add materially to the
knowledge of the north
polar region, for not less than four expe-
ditions on a large scale are nearly ready
to start.
Search for South Pole.
The south polar region, where the most
extensive unknown territory is located.

is fixed by supposition upon the maps.

BEET SUGAR INDUSTRY.
Since 1s40 the Supply Has Increased From
$4,000 to $3.50, 900 Tons.

The rapidly increasing worlds sugar
consumption which Is supplied from
beets Is pointed out by Il publication
in the monthly summary of commerce
and finance, just issued by the treas
ury bureau of statistics. Under the
head of The Worlds Sugar crop of
1900 it shows that the total beet
sugar production of that year was >.

2,S5O.OOO tons, more than two, thirds
of the worlds sugar supply being thus
produced from beets. This statement
is followed by table showing the
cane ana ueet sugar production in each
decennial year beginning with 1910.
and the percentage which these rival
sugar plants have in supplying tho
sugar consumption of the wcrld. This
table shows that in 1910 beets sup
piled less than five per cent. of
worlds sugar consumption; by 1SN
they supplied over II per cent. by
1870. 81 per cent; by 1890, 63 per cent.
and in 1900. GIL per cent
The growth of sugar consumption Is
also shown in n striking manner by
this table. In 1910 the total sugar
crop of the world was only 1,150.OOO

RUSSIAN OIL WELLS
American Consul Reports Gushers Yielding
100000 Barrels Day.

James G.. Chambers, the United
States consul at Bartoum, Russia, has
forwarded to the state department n
resume of the Russian petroleum trade.
The production of Bartoum fields for
1000 was materially increased, owing
to increased drilling and enlargement
of territory. The new territory fur.
nished 14,00O barrels a day during No
vember. The average daily production
of the wells was 1876 barrels, as against
Ia barrels in 1899 and 226 barrels in
1896.
The wells were sunk of an average
100 feet deeper than in the previous
year. The largest well struck was in
June, which produced an average of
$1,000 barrels daily in July. which. 1t
will be noticed, is much larger than the
phenomenal Guffey well recently
struck in Texas. Mr. Chambers calls
especial attention to this point and
also cites the fact that many wells have
been struck in the sBaku field that
started off at over 100000 barrels n
day. and he recalls one which flowed
4,000000 barrels in less than 40 days.
The operators are searching for more
fields, with but little success. There
has been marked increase in Ia
home consumption of Russian refined
oil, the shipments for 1900 being 25I,-
100000 gallons. an increase over 1890
of nearly 100000 gallons.
The gross production of the Baku
fields in 1900 was 72.0lS,143 barrels
as compared with 63,021 ,391 barrels in
the previous year. The total ship
ments for the year from Batoum
amounted TO 800. .1ii.765 gallons. as
compared with 3I7,225,020 gallons in
the previous year.
