A BRISK AFRICAN TOWN.
Oar es Salaam, Capital of German East
Africa, Is Growing Rapidly.

The Germans have done wonders for
Dar es Salaam. the capital of their col
onT OF German East Africa. They have
been greatly assisted by its natural adj
Nantages. for the harbOr is one of the
best on the whole seaboard. offering to
shipping an available space several
square miles in extent. However fiercely
the storms may rage without. the waters
| of this land-locked haven always remain
unrufI,ed.
Eleven years ago Oar es Salaam was
an insignificant hamlet containing half
dozen stone cabins and 200 native huts.
Two years ago it had a population of
nearly 200 Europeans and 15,000 natives. 1t
was found in the past that the European
population numbered over 500 and that
z. GOO natives live in the place. The town,
which occupies an elevation above the
harbor. has been beautifed with splendid
gardens and long avenues bordered with
l1ciaS and almond trees. Even the quar-
ter occupied by the natives, which is
usually very filthy in Aferican ports is
& mode of neatness.
There are now in the capital eight Ger
man commercial houses buying rubber
and other products of the interior and
sending quantities of commodities inland
to be sold to the natives The town, hav
ing brewery is able to make its own
beer. Three hotels make life very COM
Portable for travellers. There are also a
few Greek and Portuguese merchants in
addition to about 200 shops kept by Hin
dus and Arabs.
Oar rs Salaam has 2 newspaper of its
own, which every week prints all the To-
cal news and CondenseS tidings from the
world at large for the. perusal of it's Afri-
can patrons. The Climate is hot. and
therefore machinery for ice-making has
been imported. ice being now an article
in common use. Soda water is also
manufactured in the town.
a German company has opened n plan
tation of India rubber 40 miles inland,
and coffee and cotton also promises to re-
ceive a great deal of attention. The
planters who are increasing in number.
hold monthly meetings with the traders
at the Chamber of Commerce in Oar es
Salaam to talk over prices and products
and consult for the general good of the
community. Thus n civilized and pros
porous little city has risen where there
was nothing but barbarism few years
ago.

DEMOCRATIC SPAIN.
Place Where Walters Smoke and Eat

One is apt to think of Spain as the
very incarnation of royal rule. but as

is there such complete democracy in
the daily walks of civilized man as In
sunny Andalusia. One sees the Kings
servants and the Kings soldiers at
every turn, but, except for the indirect
taxes, the hand of government rests
lightly on the populace. The people

LIGHT HOUSES IN THE RED SEA.
The Sultan of Turkey vii! Try to
Migitate the Dangers of Navigation.

About Is years ago small vessel. while
sailing in the southern part of the Red
Sea, was injured by coming into contact
with some hidden obstruction. AS the
sailors could not exactly locate the posi-
tion Of this DANGER to navigation, a YES
sci in the service of the british admiralty
spent a fortnight in cruising up and down
in the neghborhood before the cause of
the damage was found. 1t was rock
pinnacle, rising in comparatively shallow
water to within n few feet of the sur
face. It's top was only few square feet
IN area. The hidden rock was, of course,
marked for destruction, which was APP
piled by the dynamite process.
The southern part of the Red sea, from
the Strait of Bah el Mandeb, which joins
it with the Indian ocean, to about 16 de-
grees north latitude, q distance of over
200 miles, has always been regarded with
some anxiety by navigators. There are
many islets and rocks of volcanic origin.
Turkey had neglected to supply light
houses. There are three lighthouses near
the southern entrance to the Suez canal,
and the Daedalus light crowns an islet
about $50 miles south of the Gulf of SueZ.
but the southern waters have no adequate
provisions for warming sailors against
SanGbankS and rocks. The dreaded Abu-
All archipelago, a collection of little is
lands near the southern end of the Red
sea. has been called the cemetery of
naVic:ttors." A little farther south are
the shallow waters around the port of
Mocha. which gives its name to a famous
variety of coffee.
In order to render navigation more Sc
cure the Turkish government two months
ago. instructed the French officials who
have charge of the Ottoman lighthouses

be about 175 feet above the sea level. The
other lights will be placed among the
islands of the southern part of the sea,
where nearly all the accidents to shipping
in the Red sea occur. The details have
been entrusted to Mr.. Bernard, French

The Successful Eye.

There are two classes of human
eyes, says Prof. j. NJ. Simon. the emf
nen5 oculist. First, the cold and indif.
fersnt eye, which falls upon YOU with
the same interest that it would fall
lpon some large building or anything
else. Then there is the warm. fatter-
ing eye that indicates a human inter
est. The gray is the strong one. I
nave observed in the majority of cases
of people who have risen 10 eminenoa
that the eye has been gray, altbouob 7
am inclined to believe that the orav
eye is weaker than any other. A oray
eye can charm, and in every instance
l give a man with that color of eve
more consideration than if his eyes are
of another color.-N. Y. Herald
