The Central African Railway.

The Central African Railway.
One of the most prominent enter
prises which have yet been set afoot
for the development of Africa is that
which proposes to utilize for traffic
posed by the Zambesi and Shire riv-
ers and Lakes Nyassa and Tangan-
yika. The company known as the
Shire Highlands Railway Nyassaland,
Limited, intend to open up the vast
territory adjacent to these water
ways by two links of railway, the
first running from Chrome, on the
Shire, to Fort Johnston, at the south
ern end of Lake Nyassa; the second
link of line to run from the north
ern end of Lake Nyassa to Port
Rhodes, at the southern extremity Of
Lake ,Tanganyika. From Chinde to
the mouth of the Zambesi, the trans
port is at present worked by means
of stern-wheel steamers, which ply
as far as Katungas, on the Shire, and
thence the traffic is conveyed by
bearers overland to Fort Johnston.
When the railway is completed, how
ever, the overland traffic will begin
at Chrome, and will go by way of
Blantyre and Zomba to Fort John
ston. The railway track runs through
valuable estates all the way, and the
additional wealth which the project
will bring to the region is manifest.
In round figures, the total length
of the first link of railway will be
close on 300 miles. From the west
to the head of Lake Nyassa the dis
lance is 800 miles. The Nyassaland
estates, through which this part of
the railway will run, cover some 372,-
500 acres. The second reach of rail
will run through large British gov
eminent concessions, extending to
26S,S0O acres.

more elastic, and longer than that
produced in Spain, and so has gained
a high reputation.
In 1891, there were 1881 ,416 sheep
in New South Wales, the greatest
number on record, and it is consid-
cred that the country was at that
time overstocked. The total amount
of wool said to have been produced
in this state in 1891 was 375,60O,667
pounds. In 1894, there were 1000. 900
less sheep, but 100000 pounds more
wool. There has been an almost
constant decrease in the number Of
sheep down to the present time. Ow-
ing to the drought, the past year has
been the most disastrous of all.
The total production of wool in New
South Wales for 1900 is stated at
237,659,727 pounds, which is less by
1877, 94O,94O pounds than in 1891.
The export of wool from the Com
monwealth in 1900 was 409,394, 500
pounds; from New Zealand, 156,174,-

French Sardime Industry.
The sardine catch, which is one of
the great industries of the west coast
of France, with it's centers of trade
at Nantes and Bordeaux, has expert
enced general failure this year.
Sardine fishing is conducted all along
the west coast from Brest to Bor-
deaux, but it is off the shores of Brit
tany, principally at Brest, Lorient
and Belle Isle, that the famous
Nantes sardines are taken. Thou
sands of fishermen are engaged in
netting these little fish, which in this
part of the Bay of Biscay are of a
better and finer quality than else
where in the Atlantic, and great
packing factories along the coast buy
the daily catch and prepare it for i'm
mediate shipment in oil.
This year, as above stated, the
catch has been almost a complete
failure. Not only have the fish been
caught in sizes much too large for
packing, but there have been rela-
lively few. This scarcity is so un-
usual that nobody seems to be able
to explain it. Some of the packers
say, however, that it is due to the
economy of the fishermen them
selves, who at the outset of the sea-
con, owing to the high price of the
hait, failed to use sufficient to at
tract the sardines to the French
coast. The bait used in sardine fish
ing is known as la rogue, being the
dried entrails and eggs of behring's
and other fish, imported principally

Development of German TogoIand.
During the years 1900-1901 Togo
land may be said to have been fair
ly prosperous. The export of palm
seed, according to German reports,
increased steadily; that of rubber in
creased 100 per cent. New coffee and
cocoanut plantations were laid out.
In certain parts of the country cattle
and horses are raised, but it has
been noticed that horses coming to
the coast from the interior die with
in a short time from the effects of
the sea breeze.
The natives busy themselves chief
ly in raising corn and nuts. The
males plant and reap, while the fe-
males carry the products to the near
est trading post for sale. The sea,
lagoons and rivers abound in fish and
crabs. On the plantations near the
sea, the native laborers receive from
ten to 20 cents day. Farther in
land, this amount is reduced to seven
cents. The money used is coined sill
YER pieces and cowry shells, 40 of
the latter being worth one-fourth of
a cent. JNO. F. WINTER
