A great many Improvements are being made there since the French took charge of the country. The canal which has been built connecting the city of Tunis directly witt, the sea has greatly improved commerce., and today there are large wharves along the banks of the canal, equipped with modern lifting engines, cranes and port railways. Tunis is the biggest city on the African seaboard. and its trade is with all parts of the Mediterranean Sea. and especially Europe. It is connected by railway with Algiers and Gran and by caravan with all parts of the Sahara
 The population of Tunisia Is almost two millions. consisting chiefly of Bedouin, Arabs, Berbers and about 60,000 Jews. There are also 70. 900 Frenchmen and S2 .0OO other foreigners, of whom 670Oo are Ital- ians.
 The French have been doing much to develop education there. They have es- tablished large number of schools in Tunis. and in the Anterior have 800 pri- mary schools. of which onethird are for teaching girls. The bulk of the popula. ton is Mohammedan, and these girls schools are to large extent new thing Tunisia has now 600 miles of railway and several thousand miles of telegraph lines, It has small trade with the United States, ten days being required to go from Tunis to New York.

 Algeria in 1908. 5But first let me tell you something bout Algeria. It is one of the best coun- lies in Africa. Watered by the moisture om the Mediterranean winds, 1t has a 1 ,h soil and one of the most delightful fimates on the face of the globe. It Is land of mountains and valleys. backed the sandy plateaus of the Desert of Alhara. Its area is about four times as , rge as that of Pennsylvania. and its spulation comprises about four millions, whom three hundred thousand are -ench.
 rhe natives are Berbers and Arabs, tn an admixture of Moore, Turks and groes The Berbers belong to the same ce as our own. They are farmers and ry industrious The French use them
 laborers, and with their aid are setting It vineyards, olive groves and orange chards.
 They also cultivate the soil for them
 Ives, raising rich crops of wheat and her cereals.
 Dne of the chief exports of Algeria is s, of which 27 00O, 900 pounds are export # in a year. and another is dates, which he from the date palms scattered over country. and especially throughout oases of the Sahara.
 n Algeria the French have materially proved the condition of the people.
 ey have established primary schools in ery part of the country, and also hools of higher education and communal
 leges. There are 100000 students in the
 mary schools, about 5000 in the high hools and a large number in the col
 es. About $1, 100000 is now being an

Thus 1t happens that practically all the British mail for the United States comes by the two British lines sailing on Wednesdays and Saturdays from Liverpool. This plan is followed even to the extent of sending mall on nine and ten day boats when there are others sailing on the same dates that make the voyage in six or seven days.

 The Frenck metropolis of the Northern Sahara is the oasis of Biskra, which Is reached by railroad from Algiers Here there is quite large foreign colony. num- erous French and other Europeans going there for their health.
 Biskra is 15O miles south of Constan- tine, and 1t takes a days ride on the train to reach 1t. The oasis is three miles long and not more than a half mile wide at it's widest place. It Is one of the largest of the French oases, having a pop ulation of about 10000, including 1000 French troops end about L2o0 civil Euro peans. mostly French and Italians. The place is noted for it's dates. of which 1t has 10000 trees, producing about 5000 tons of dates every year. The trees are carefully irrigated and each tree is taxed by the government.
 French Soudan and Timbuktu.
 The French have an enormous territory, known as the French Soudan, lying south of the western part of the Sahara. This strip goes half way across the con- tinent. the British territories of Nigeria, the Gold Coast and Sierra Leone, and also Liberia and the Kameruns being cut out of, it. It reaches the Atlantic Ocean in several places and embraces the French Congo. Dahomey and Senegal.
 This territory Is practically unexplored. but 1t is being rapidly opened up. A mili- tary government has been established at Timbuktu and along the Niger. and the other provinces are governed from Dakar in Senegal. It Is at Dakar that the French Governor General of West Afri- ca lives. and there are the chief offices with secretaries and clerks. Each prov ince has a Lieutenant-G Governor, but all report to the Governor General at Da- kar.
 Dakar is noted for Its excellent harbor. which is now being widened and deep ened by the French. The city lies right under the shadow of Cape Verde and Is connected with St. Louis, the capital of Senegal, by railway. It has four French steamship lines, which make regular pas sages between 1t and France. and there are British and German lines to Liver pool and Hamburg.

York on Saturdays instead of wednes- day. At the same time the White Star line. which has its sailings on Wednes- days, will establish sea postoffices on its ships. As a result of the Wednesday malls will be handled as expedltiously as formerly while there will be a decided gain in the Saturday malls. Heretofore these have been sent on the Cunard line via Liverpool and the London letters have not been distributed until a week from the following Monday morning as there Is no distribution in London on Sun days. Under the new plan the London mall will reach its destination Saturday afternoon and there will be gain of from 30 to 36 hours in delivering a large part of the mail for all British points.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1903-11-15

In consequence of the change the Amer ican line ships probably will carry more mail than formerly since the mails are naturally heavier at the end than at the beginning of the week. This will not be of any material advantage to the line which is paid under its contract with tho government at the rate of so much a voyage, no matter how much or how It- tie it carries. It is evident. however, that the new plan will be a decided gain to the business world whereas the policy of the British postal authorities is openly intended for the advantage of British
