Seventy-nine years after Christ.
while there still lived those who had
known the Messiah and had seen him
suffer crucitixion, the cities of Her
culaneum and Pompeii We're blotted out
by an eruption of Vesuvius. Hercu-
laneum was whelmed in a sea of mud.
Pompeii was hidden in a flood of ashes
that covered its palaces from sight as
tho they had never been. Two thousand
of its residents unable to escape were
smothered in the sheets of pumice stone
and ashes that fell upon the doomed
city. More than LOGO years after.
when the location of the buried city
had been lost and as completely forgot
ten as the cities of the lost Atlantis,
workmen sinking a we'll came upon a
theater containing the statues of Her
cules and Cleopatra. The discovery OF
the ancient city was of incalculable his
torical value. Excavations uncovered
the homes and home life of the Ro-
mans and added to the history of the
a. Of
the molds formed by the scorial about
the bodies of those who persisted stat
ues have been cast which reproduce in
bronze the fugitive who fled in terror
from that avalanche of ashes more than
eighteen centuries ago. and excavations
have revealed the voluptuous life that
drove and dawdied about the baths and
along the narrow streets of the old Ro-
man city at the time when Christ was
born in Bethlehem.
Calamities usually teach a lesson.
Humanity learns from them the
necessity of self protection and
the means to prevent a repetition
OF disaster Earthquakes and volcanic
eruptions. however, can teach him
nothing but fear and humility. They
are as uncomfortable as the ocean. Per-
haps in some far future day when the
recent horror shall have faded from
history and have been forgotten and a
new civilization shall have filed the
earth, new race succeeding our own
may marvel over the unearthed rem
nants CT our present day as we have
wondered over the relies of old Rome.

TOPICS OF THE TIMES

/ Gen. Davis. of Arkansas says he will
not pardon negro from the peniten-
tiary unless the convict can show a
railroad ticket to Boston. The best
that can be said for Davis is that the
question in his case seems to be one oil
an unbalanced mind.
/ In an address to the students of a
western college last week, Edward Ev-
erett Hale gave what he terms three
practical working rules: Keep out in
| the open air as much as possible Have
faith in your neighbor. Make a prac-
tice of engaging in conversation each
day some one whom you know to be
your superior"
The probabilities of harmonious
democratic effort are foreshadowel in
the Commoner, where Mr.. Bryan asks
in big type, Are you opposed to giving
the control of the party organization
into the hands of the sulkers, skulkers
and strikers who sold out the democra-
cy in 1896 and 1900, and who seek now
to secure the leadership of the party
they betrayed" Mr.. Bryan may not be
in line for the nomination himself but
he certainly is in a position to make
trouble for his fraternal enemies.
The making of reciprocity treaties
should not be delayed There is dan
ger in delay always. A few years ago a
reciprocity treaty based upon the gem
eral classification of Canada as a seller
of natural products and of the United
States as manufacturing country
could easily have been arranged. But
now the Canadians have gone so far in
developing their own manufactures
that even with the best intentions it
will be a complicated task to draw a
treaty that will be satisfactory to both
countries.
Congress itself should select the
route of the isthmian canal. No presi-

All this is bad enough. but there is a

Dusenburys at this writing. Both rode
up the street the other day In one baby
carriage, pushed by the former sweet
girl graduate. At the risk of being
considered "brutally frank" the writer
must mention that Mrs. Dusenbury's
hair had not been combed since she left
Grinnell. AT least 1t looked so. Her
dress of some blue spotted stuff was
minus collar, and fitted her form very
comfortably. Evidently she had adopted
the anti-corset theory. Her shoes
showed unpatched holes and run down
heels. And II hope to never de- if she

DEVELOPMENT OF THE DARK CONTINENT.

Commercial Africa in 1901" is tn,
little of a monograph which will be
published by the treasury bureau OF
statistics in its forthcoming issue of the
monthly summary. 1t presents an elab-
crate study of the present commercial
conditions in Africa, the growing de-
inands of that great continent, and the
market offered for American goods in
its various sections.
Africa occupies fourth place in the
LIST of the grand divisions of the world
in its consuming power in relation to
international commerce, The imports of
the grand divisions being, at the latest
available date. in round figures Eu-
rope, sS,3o0,000,OoO; North America,
s1,200,000,0 600; Asia. 100000, 600: Africa.
S4S0000,000; South America, 1915, 0o0.-
COO; and Oceanica, 1926, 100000. OF this
total of 11e30,ooo,Ooo, the United
States supplies 5 per cent of Africa, 10
per cent of the imports of South Amer
lea, 10 per cent of those of Asia and
Oceanica. II per cent OF those of Eu-
rope and 40 per cent of the imports of
the United States.
Within the memory of this genera
ton the name of Africa was the syno-
nym for mystery both as to history and
condition. Physically the African con-
tinent is in many respects unique. Five
thousands miles in extreme length, and
over 1000 miles in breadth, it's area is
greater than that of any other contin-
gent except Asia, the latest estimate
being 1l,St4,60O square miles, and it's
population yariously estimated at from
125,o00,O00 to l75,00O,000. Its coast for
deep indentations, bays or narbors and
the small number of waterways which
offer entrance to it's Interior The fact
that the greater part of the interior is
at elevated lakeland, extending on all
sides TO within a short dietance of the
coast, renders access to the interior by
the few large streams difficult. At the
points where the rivers pass from the
elevated plateau of the interior to the
lowlands of the coast the falls or rapids
which there exist prevent navigation.
and as result travel to the interior by
water developed more slowly in Africa
than in any other continent. When
these conditions We're clearly estab-
lished, however, modern ingenuity and
energy soon found means of trans
porting steams in small pieces upon the
backs of men thru the forests, around
the falls and rapids for scores and even
hundreds of miles, and, putting them
together set atioat the steamers which
penetrate thousands of miles into the
interior and develop facts never before
known, and which could not have been
developed by land exploration in the
tropical climates and jungles for many
tippc
