Railroad development in Africa has been
rapid in the past few years, and seems but
a beginning OF a great system which must
contribute TO the rapid development. civil

Continent. Railroads already extend north
from Cape Colony about 1,50O miles and
south from Cairo about 200 miles. thus

is reason to expect a considerable de-

MULES SHOD BY MACHINERY.
New Invention Successfully Tried in .
St. Louis Shop.

Shoeing fractions mules by aid of ma
chinery has just been tried here with
success says St Louis dispatch to the
| New York Herald" II was mule versus
machine in a shop at Tenth and Walnut
Streets a few days ago. and the machine
won, to the utter humiliation of two
mules. They were genuine obstinate
cross grained Missouri mules, that for
general "cussedness" have earned more
than local reputation.
Men have put il down that, while 1t
is a difficult thing to convince a woman
against her will, 1t is next to impossible
to convince a mule. These particular
mules were, apparently, of the opinion
that it demeaned the high estate of Mis-
souri, muledom to be shod. Heretofore
it had required a force of at least a dozen
men to shoe them. OF the dozen ii was a
strange thing If more than three came out
of the battle unscathed, and horseshoers
considered themselves lucky to get of
with less than broken arm.
With the machines aid the mules were
shod yesterday without casualties, and
they came forth from the experience meek
and chastened animals. Old Crow and
Dynamite are the names of the mules.
They haul sprinkling cart. and have de-
molished several heavy sprinkling wagons
to say nothing of pinking al different
times with hind leg uppercuts the drivers
upon the high seats OF the carts.
The machine used came from Rens-
selaer. Ind, where lives the inventor. The
apparatus is combination of tackle.
beams, ropes, heavy canvas belt and
sliding lever, with o device at its bottom
for grasping the animals hoofs. The
beams are attached to the wall about two
feet six inches apart; the horse or mule
is sandwiched in between; the tackle
serves to hold the head and hind legs;
the belt is fastened under the body and
helps to sustain the weight; the hoof is
held by the lever, and the horseshoer does
his shoeing in safety. .

African Country Unique.

Within the memory of this generation
the name of Africa was the synonym for
mystery both as TO history and condi-
ton. Physically. the African continent is
in many respects unique. Five thousand
miles in extreme length, and over i.oC9
miles in breadth, its area is greater than
that of any other continent except Asia.
the latest estimate being II, ,s7A.6GO square
miles, and its population variously esti-
mated at from 125.C9O,COG to 175.OOo. .O0J
Its coast formation is peculiar in the abb
sence of deep indentations, bays, or har-
bors. and the small number of waterways
which offer entrance to its interior. The
fact that the greater part Of the interior
lis an elevated tableland extending on all
sides to within a short distance 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 a result
travel to the interior by water developed
more slowly in Africa than in anv other
continent. When these conditions wern
clearly established. however. modern in
gcnuity and ehergy soon found a means Of
transporting steamers in small pieces
upon the backs OF men through the for
ests. around the falls and rapids for
scores and even hundreds OF miles. ami.
putting them together. set afloat the
steamers which penetrate thousands If
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 generations
