RAILROADS
IN AFRICA

ward through its valley. Stations have
been established at the Arab towns OF
Tut, Moghrar and Djemen bou Resg,
where all trains stop. Six more sta
lions will be established along the
route.
The road is to push some hundreds
of miles southwest to the oasis Of Tuat,
which is now in the possession of the
French. Several postoffices have al
ready been established in GASES on the
way to Tuat. Until within few years
only a few European travellers had
penetrated to this isolated Moham-
medan community. The natives raise
good crops of wheat, barley, cotton and
other articles which they require, in
Guiding an abundant supply of vege-
tables. France is thus using the new
railroad to establish it's influence in
parts Of the northern Sahara, to when.
five years ago, scarcely any European
influence had penetrated.

The railroad which France extend
ed, some years ago, through western
Algeria, from the seaport Of Oran to
the town of Ain-Safra, on the south
ern border of that colony, is now be-
ing steadily pushed southwark into the
desert The road was built to Ain
Safra because that town occupies one
of the numerous breaches in the south
ern mountain ranges leading to the
Sahara and is therefore favorably sit
uated for the extension of railroad
into the desert. Ain-Safra is $3.50 feet
above the sea and lies on the Saharan
slope, it's oasis being watered by a
perennial stream which flows east to
the Wady Namus, whose waters flow
straight south into the Sahara.
The railroad, therefore, has been
pushed eastward along the valley of
the stream that gives life to Ain-Safra;
having reached the Wady Namus,
tracl1-laying has been extended south

Another interesting phase of life in
Australia is the hunting of the kanga-
roo. Staghounds are used for this pur-
pose. The kangaroos cover good deal
of ground when pursued, but they are
no judge of distance. Often when
leaping they will land right in the mid
die of a wire fence, and then their
capture is easy. They will fight like
fiends when cornered, and have seen
fierce battle between them and the
hounds. Kangaroos weigh as high as
24O pounds. Under ordinary circum-
stances they are docile, and many
families in Australia use them as pets,
the same as Americans like to have
dogs and cats around the premises. -

Once before mention has been made
in this column concerning the work of
the commissioners of Buncombe coun-
" in their investigation to find out
how much taxable property there was
in that county not on the tax list.
The Statesyllle Landmark says:
"We notice that the Investigation is
being continued and in one day last
seek over $75, 900 was ad1ed to the
taxable property OF Buncombe. This
gives some idea of how much property
ia the State escapes taxation and also
proves the necessity of having an in-
es,is;torial law to force those who try
to evade taxation TO come up and bear
their part of the burden. It is said
tat the commissioners of Buncombe
expect, by this investigation, to place
$'5oO,OOO of additional property on the
tax books. Now il the commissioners
OF Buncombe can make such an inves-
tigation with such good results, why
cannot the commissioners OF Iredell
and other counties follow their worthy
example? We direct the attention of
ti:s Iredell commissioners to the Bur-
combe plan and recommend it's adop-
tion."

that they will abstain from strong
drink themselves, but will haye no So

but particularly engage to ostracize
