ACROSS AFRICA.
Progress of Work on the Congo and
Lakes Railroad.

From the London Chronicle
Every one knowe something about the
projected Cape to Cairo route across
Africa, but very little has been heard In
England Of another interesting trans-Afri-
can scheme the projectors of which hope to
link together Matadi at the mouth of the
Congo and Mombasa on the Indian ocean.
The railway is at work at both ends of
this line. From Mombasa the Uganda
| railway stretches out to the eastern shore
of Victoria Nyanza and from Matadi at the
otner END shorter line-only about go
| miles In all-extends to LeopoIdville on
STANLEY Pool above the rapids of the Lower
Congo. But between the two railroads
there Is gap of over 1.400 miles, even If
we measure in a straight line The dis
tance by any practicable route is Of
course, much longer.
From Leopoldville to Stanley Falls tha
congo is open to steam navigation for
distance Of about / 900 miles, Above the
rails there Is again good waterway for
light-draught steamers up to and beyond

railways constructed to cover these dis
tances would connect the Congo with the
great central lakes, and make the Upper
Nile accessible by a combined railway and
river steamer route from the Atlantic
Last January a group Of Belgian and
French financiers organized at Brussels a
company under the name of La Campagnie
des Chemins-de-fer du Congo Superieur aux
Grands Laos Africains-''The Upper Congo
and Great African Lakes Railway Com
pany.' The king of the Belgians and the
Congo State government are of course the
friends Of the scheme. The capital of the
company is 25OO0,00O francs or one mil
lion sterling OF this the BeIgians are
finding 100000 and the French ftOO 600
Further capital is to be raised later on
when part of the projected railway sys-
tenn has been. constructed. The million
sterling Is only something to begin with.
The Congo Free State guarantees a dfyi-
dend of per cent, and has in return a
right to half the profits after this per
cent has been earned. The state gives q
concession for the construction and work
ing of the main lines and various branches
and gives the company besides this a great
tract of forest land in the Aruwimi river
district. This ground is covered with the
dense forest described I'm Sir H M Stan
leys Darkest Africa" but the forest is
said to abound in valuable rubber trees
and the district is also reported to contain
rich deposits Of gold. copper and iron. Ali
the mining rights are to be the property of
the company. The Free State has a right
to purchase the railways after a period of
ninety-nine years.

SHOULD WOMEN RIDE AsTRIDEp
Experience and Opinion Of an English
Traveller and Horsewoman.
From Pearson's Magazine

From Pearson's Magazine.
1 began to ride on a side-saddle at seven
years of age. and astride at seventeen and
have alternated between the two modes
pretty well ever since, yet the cross saddle
is the one prefer on every count.
Personal experience must be personal at
the risk of being egotistical. and, therefore,
to continue practical illustrations. 1 may
remark that q girl and I once rode 1853
miles in three days and few hours in Ice
land with tents for our night shelter and
a shakedown of hay for our couch. There
were no roads. and the ponies constantly
forded rivers or climbed volcanic rocks
Such a journey would have been well nigh
impossible in the time a side-saddle, but
was barely fatiguing to the rider when
properly balanced in natural position.
That a mans seat is the proper one Is
surely manifest: otherwise, why do all the
men in the world, including soldiers, mount
astride?
Not only is 1t a natural pose but Is is
easy to mount or dismount. If horse falls
the male rider can extricte himself; but
supposing an animal stumbles over some
mountain path, and a precipice yawns be-
low on the near side, over goes the lady

These add to the safety of the seat and are

How q Man browns.
From the Detroit Free Press.


Few popular fallacies are of such wide
extent as the belief that a person must
rise to the surface three times, no more
and no less, before he can possibly drown.
There is little ground for this SUPPOSE
ton, although it has been almost uni
versally believed In for generations The
truth is that a drowning person may sink
the first time never to rise again. or he
may. as he indeed does in the majority of
cases. rise three times before he sinks for
ever. 1t all depends upon the quantity OF
water that he swallows when he sinks
and the size Of his lungs. The human
body in life naturally floats while the lungs
are Inflated. As long as one keeps his
head above the surface of the water he
can hoat. face up. without having to move
hand or foot. But soon as he sinks he
gulps and imbibes quantity of water If.
after he has swallowed water, he has any
air left In his lungs. he will undoubtedly
rise again, and VIII continue to sink and
rise alternately until all the air Is ex-
pelied from his lungs, when he will drown.

Morals and Environments.
From Political Science.

from POLITICAL science.
Slavery was not considered wrong by the
great Greek moralists, whose ethical views
on many other topics were at least on a
plane with those Of modern times In the
same way the English colonists, who at
home would have secuted the very idea OF
slavery, soon became in the southern states
of America the most ardent and sincere
advocates of the system; even the clergy
men of the south honestly refused to con-
slider slavery a sin. Had the northern and
western states been subjected to the same
climatic and economic conditions, there is
little doubt that, so tar at least as they
could keep themselves shut off from con-
tact with the more advanced Industrial
civilization Of Europe, they would have
completely shared the moral views of their
southern brethren. Men are what con-
ditfons make them, and ethical ideals are
not exempt from the same inexorable law

AS the automobile is not yet very attract

the ear At present 1t has three voices 1t
warns with the sound which is usually spelt
''pip-pip," and is thus very offensive. In
Shaftesbury avenue last evening was a mo-
tor car which cleared the way with a
warning sound resembling the clatter of
half a dozen zinc pals dropped from third
story window on to asphalt. A personal ex-
perience proves the unpleasantness of this
voice. But here and there motor owner
has taken the trouble to provide himself
with a couple of deep-toned bells which add
the picturesqueness of sound even to an au-
tomobile, and we feel toward II as toward
the ill-favored singer with a voice of gold.

Man has not monopoly of coughing.
Before there was a vertebrate on the earth.
while man was in process of evolution
through the vegetable worid, Etada Tus-
sie2-that Is what the botanists call him,
while We know him as the coughing

lungs. Recently botanists have been giving
special attention to this bean, and tell in
terestng things about IL. IL is a native OF
warm and moist tropical countries. and
dust settles on the breathing pores in the
leaves of the plant and chokes them a gas
accumulates inside, and when II gains suf-
ficient pressure there comes an explosion
with a sound exactly like coughing and
the dust is blown from its Iodgment. And.
more strange still. the plant gets red in
