1t is matter Of some regret among Ar
lists In Paris that the splendid statue OF
Victor Hugo by Rodin, exhibited at this
years salon, should not have been given
the official recognition due TO II. 1t repre-
sents the poet in his old age, as all French
men Will remember him. and the posture OF
the left hand and arm conveys exactly thar
power Of rapid and enormous creation
which We associate with the poet In the
place of this masterpiece the city and the
centenary have been saddled with a some
what conventional piece of sculpture, with
the regulation symbolic figure, and Hugo
represented In middle age.
The statue is set up In the Place des
Nosges, where the poet lived in the thirties
and forties, and where his former house is
to become municipal museum devoted 10

CHANGES ON AFRICAN MAPS
It is Difficult to Keep Them Abreast
of the News From Explorers.

From the New York Sum-
Mr.. Wauters, editor Of LIE Movement
Geographique, says that constant revision
OF his large map Of the Congo basin is
necessary in order to keep 1t in line with
the best geographical information.
One or more new survey or route maps are
received from Africa every month. Each
of them Is likely to rectify an old position,
complete the course of river or bring en-
tirely new information concerning areas
that were white on the older maps. He
mentions three sources of information all
received within the past few weeks, which
make important contributions to the map
ping Of this part of Africa. -,
One Of them Is a table Of geogra phicaI
positions determined automatically by the
Marchand mission in central .Africa. The
table has just been published in La Geo
graphic. Two scientific members of the ex-
charge of the astronomical observations to
fix the longitude Of geographic places.
These are the best determinations that
have been made in this part ~ Africa, the
positions of a large ntnlber Of places hav-
Ing been fixed with a very near approxima-
ton to the truth. Among the numerous re-
suits differing from the earlier maps is
that the lower course OF the Mobangi river
the position heretofore assigned to 1T, thus
sensibly diminishing the distance on the
map between the Mobangi and the Sanga
rivers.
The Marchand expedition also determined
the line Of water parting between the
Congo and the Nile, and made completely
new surveys of the Bomu aff1uent Of the
Congo, the Such affiuent Of the Nile and
the tributaries Of the Bahr ell Gazal All
this fresh information makes great deal
Of work for the photographer who brings
his map up to date. - .t.ss
1t will be many years. however. before
really good maps can be made of the whole
or large parts Of Africa. The only portions
of the great continent now mapped from
detailed surveys based on triangulation are
Algeria and Tunis, the delta Of the Nie
the region around Massowa in the Italian
possessions. and small area along the
Nile between Wadi Halfa and Dongola.

egg. The white (albumen) must be used
with the crumbs to form the covering to
keep out the fat, especially if you use lard.
The yolk helps to dilute the white and give

use the yolk alone. When your outlets are

Frying Potato Balls.
Have your potatoes boiled dry and mealy
and not made too soft in mixing with egg,
cream, milk. butter, etc. Measure your
materials by the same rule every time.
The mixture should be stiff enough to form
easily and retain shape in handling.
Have the lard hot. 1t has a strong pro-
pensity to soak into all SOFT unprotected
material, and this it is certain to do If not
heated to the smoking point before articles
are immersed. Do not put in too many
articles at q time; they lower the tempera-
ture of the fat, and, again. If this fat is
lard it will penetrate and soften the balls
SO they fall apart, especially II the mix
ture Is too soft.
The eggs in the potatoes should be suffi-
Client without extra outside covering If you
have the potatoes mixed dry enough and
the fat at proper temperature. Vegeta-
Bile Oil heats at a lower temperature; the
temperature rises Immediately after the
articles are put in and the fat does not
soak; so the frying can go on uninter-
ruptedly and successfully.
