uted the vigor perceptible through
out the work here.
This accompanying map shows the
eastern part of anna tave and Andeyo-
rante, 60 miles apart, with four inter-
mediate towns Of minor Importance.
All along this coast is a series of la
goons, which have been connected by
artificial canals, so that waterway is
now open from Ivondro, eight miles
south of Tamatave, and connected
Herewith by railway, as far as Ande-
vorante, where it turns into the River
Iaroka and follows that stream, with
the option a few miles further up of
turning to the left to Mahatsara, the
head of the macadamized road, shown
by double line, or to Brickaville,
which is the first depot of the railway,
delineated by heavy black line.
The waterway formed by connecting
the 1agoons\has not been a very sue
cessful undertaking, as the lagoons are
of different depths, so that the con-
Meeting canals produce currents, one
lake at the expense of another, which
thus becomes too shallow, etc., and in
wolves elaborate dredging. This work
has been done by separate company,
and it's results indicate that it would
have been preferable to construct a
railway along this coast.
The newly completed macadamized
road, which has in the main followed
the old native track, is undoubtedly a
remarkable piece of engineering. The
gradients nowhere exceed the limits
of safe locomotion by carts, carriages.
bicycles or automobiles. This road is
just $50 miles long in it's circuitous
track, though under, 100 miles as the
crow flies. -
In constructing the railway, the con-
tract seems to have stipulated that no
Malagasay labor was to be employed.
This has meant successive importa-
tions of Italians (who revolted and had
to be sent home at government ex-
pense), coolies from China, and In
dams. The last have suffered great
mortality from the attacks of flea,
introduced in the last few years by
the Senegalese soldiers, which pro-
duces terrible sores and even NORTH
cation on the feet. All the material
employed must of course be of French
origin, brought by French citizens. and
in French bottoms, and this has to be
transported by sea from Tamatave to
Andevorante, and then by river to the
first depot of operations. What inn
pressed me was the paucity of the in
habitants and lack of food produce
along the road. It is estimated that
ten years will elapse before the rail-
way can be definitely opened. The part
of the work now in progress is the
easiest section; the problem will be
the final climb over the edge Of the
Imerina plateau (so.called). which
means aSudd den rise of ], 800 feet. This,
as. seen by the map. will be effected
by an almost semicircular bend ard q

atsara to Tananarivo, a distance, q
mentioned, of $50 miles. Several small.
enterprises have followed, such az mule
carts, OK carts, and push carts, but
nothing has yet been established ON
a large scale. Passengers have now
adopted the two-wheeled push cart,
called here ''pousse-pousse." Three
men are employed for one vehicle
carrying one person. The vehicle of
the future, in my opinion, is the motor
wagon; but owing to the gradients,
the machine should not be of less tbsn
rs horsepower, in which case the jour-
ney from the capital to Mahatsara
could be effected in one day, and, as|
the waterway from the latter place
to Tamatave occupies just one day,
this would be great advance on any
thing yet attained. The only auto
mobile yet introduced belongs to Gen.
Gallieni. The transport of mails alone
between Tamatave and the ca pital cost
last year $135,000, and there would
seem to be profitable opening for
service of four automobiles. These

quest of Madagascar by the
French in the year 1895. the

fFSTH French in the year 1895. the
W. absorbing economic ques-
~ ton has been the creation
of railway joining the.
coast with the capital, Antanana-
rivo,& or Tananarivo, as it is most
frequently called. Madagascar is
one of the most irregular noun
famous countries in the world, not
in the sense Of altitude, but in the
mass of Irregular upheavals which
cover the whole island, up to the very
coast line. The term "plateau,'' APP
piled to the central part of the island,
must not be taken in it's literal mean
ing. There can hardly be said to ex-
ist in Madagascar plain of sufficient
dimensions to be called by that name.
1t was this impenetra bility of their
country which prompted the Hovas for
so long period to oppose by inertia
the inroads of the white men. But
this is past history now; the French
gained control in 1895, and the great
problem to be solved since then has
been the creation of roads to transport
men and goods to the capital.
The expedition from the west coast,
which has been thought to afford the
most practicable route for an army,
proved by it's disastrous episodes
costing the lives of 5000 men-that,
after all, the eastern side offered the
best means of approach to the interior,
and plans for railway have since been
directed to that side. Successive com
panies failed to accomplish the work;
plans were modified and remodifed:
labor was done here and there in dis
connected patches; but definite line
of action seems to have been taken
for the completion of the enterprises.
Gen. Gallieni has already made rail-
way in Tonkin and one in Dahomey,

the struggle for the survival O. the
tittest.
Ianana,iyO (Which in the vernac,llar
means tie town Of a thousand" al
luclng to the thousand Hovas who first
garrisoned it) is an oblong city built
on granite rock like a huge Eax's
back, nearly two miles in length, stand
ing among rice fields cultivated for
centuries and irrigated with care. The
villages as one approaches the capital
reveal complete change of race and
a different mode of life from that seen
among the tribes of the coast. The
country houses are cubes of sun-dried
bricks, with small aperatures on the
western sides, to avoid the east winds.
The fore gn commerce of Tananarivo
: is carried on chiefly by the same firms
that are established at Tamatave, and
is almost conf ned to wholesale deal
ings in cotton. The population is
dense, the climate relatively cool, and
the people am enable to ha bits of cleans
illness. No textile fabrics-except q
few native lambas-are produced here,
SO that everything points to expan-
sion in the cotton trade. The Hovas
have adapted themselves to civilized
customs and wear European clothing.
Perhaps no city of this size in tho
world is so lavishly endowed with
churches, cathedrals, monasteries,
chapels, schools, hospitals, etc., as 10

motion is laborious. Round the base
of the hill magnificent esplanade, 10
miles in circumference, has been con-:
structed, and this forms the city's
broadway for carriages (of which only
very few exist), horses and prone
enaders. Circulation over intermedic
ate parts of the city must be madesin
filaniana, or chairs, the hire of which
is regulated by tariff; for, unless ono
be a trained athlete, walking is pain
full. A great many people use horses.
To the weekly market of Tananarivo
the natives come from all directions,
with every describable object for sale.
The Hovas are essentially race OF
barterers, and every thing, according
to them, is merchantable. The most
scrupulous honesty is imperative. For
merly, any case of larceny was pun
ished with immedia te stoning to death.
Now, of course, this barbarous custom
is restrained by an efficient police
force. s5
The salubrity of Tananarivo and
the Imerina province in general is
proyerbial. The temperature never
exceeds that of southern Europe. On
the coast, essentially tropical condo
tions prevail. VIM. n. HUNT.

the old marquis and his two sons, Cas-

the Countess de la Nerberie, with one
daughter, Valentine, lovely girl Of
eighteen. NJ. de Clameran detested
the countess, and Nine. de la Verberie
execrated the marquis. It was said
that under the reign Of Henry IVA La

misdeed led to duel, which in turn led
to bitter hatred between the two

GOOD INFLUENCE Of
THE BOYS BRIGADE

Although the work OF the Boys Bri
gade has ceased on account OF lack Of
funds to continue II. the influence
which II has exerted on the young men
of poor parents Of the city has gone
very deep. An instance OF this recent
ly came to light when, upon some OF
the men interested in the work going
into Kakaako. found that the boys who
had belonged to one of the Boys Bril-
gade companies had decided to con-
tinue this work on their own hook.
There was neat club house, an
equipment OF chairs and tables, whole
some reading matter and innocent
games and everything In the place
showed that the boys who had decided
to carry on the work for the better
ment Of the youth Of the Kakaako dis
trict had studied the matter carefully
before making their plans.
Some of those under whom these
boys had worked decided that such a
good movement should not under any
circumstances be allowed to die out
so they are giving their personal as.
sistance and are working hand in hand
with the young men.
