DISPOSIYG OF AFRICA

The settlement OF the Bahr-el-Ghazel disnute
- anotnef step toward the complete partitioning
OF the Dark Continent among the powers With
IN the memory OF living men the bulk of that
continent was sdll unknown, and only n few
scattered bits Of land along the coast were
actually owned and occupied by European ma
tions. To-day there are only a few small blanI,
spaces on the map, and only a small part or
the continent is marked as remaining unde-
native rule. Never, perhaps in the history Of
the world has n conquest of such magnitude
been more speedily effected.
The Bahr-el-Gh hazel settlement follows nrornnt-
ly and naturally upon the Anglo French agree
ment by which Morocco. Egypt and the Lake
Ichad region were disposed Of II will be re-
called that France has played an important
part in the Bahr-el-Ghazel. That province was
part of Egypt's old Soudan empire, and was
lost to her in the Mahdist revolt When Eng
land went In to smash the Mahdi she leased
the province 10 the Congo Free State, IN order
that the French might not have a chance TO
claim it by virtue of reconquering it. But in
1894 the Congo State let the French in to
Fashoda, and in return for compensation else
where renounced in Frances favor the rights
which It had enjoyed in the Bahr-el-G hazel
Then, when under British pressure the French
adventurers retired from Fashoda. the Congo
cldte Ileu 10 rsasSert sovereignty over the
province To this England objected, and the
objection has now been made effective by the
occupation Of the Bahr-el-Ghazel by Anglo.
Egyptian troops.
The Congo State has protested against this
action and has suggested that the matter ought
10 be arbitrated at The Hague; to all of which
the British government seems to have turned
a deaf ear. Upon the ground of legal techni-
calities the Egyptian title to the province
seems TO be good Upon the ground of equity
and the welfare Of civilization the world will
be well satisfied 10 see the province, which is
one Of the richest in Central Africa placed
under the enlightened and progressive Anglo
Egyptian government which is doing such great
things in the Upper Nile Valley, rather thar
under that of the Congo Free State, which for
some years has been under most unpleasant
charges Of cruelty ard oppression.

A QUICKENED GUILE aTREAn

IL the stories told by mariners about the
heightened velocity OF the Gulf Stream in the
last few days be correct an explanation OF the
phenomenon ought not 10 be hard to find. Sur
face currents in the ocean result from the ac-
ton OF the wind. The water which issues from
the Gulf of Mexico and flows northeastwardly
from the southern extremity OF Florida comes
originally from that portion of the Atlantic
lying near the equator. The trade winds OF
one hemisphere. blowing from the northeast
and those of the other hemisphere, blowing
from the southeast cooperate in forcing the
upper layers OF the sea into the belt of Gains
where the water acquires q westward motion.
BY the Intervention Of the continent the cur
rent is split, and the direction which is thnn
taken is materially altered, but the impetus i'm
parted by Natures great marine pumping en-
CINE is not lost. In all probability the rreer
discharge which has Just been reported means
that this piece Of invisible mechIrism has. tom

porarily at least, been working a little harder
than usual.
The trade winds, like all other winds result
from differences i'll atmospheric pressure. Near
the equator the barometer usually reads much
lower than il does twenty or twenty fve degrees
away. These high and low pressure systems
oscillate EOrthward and southwark with the
seasons but their organization is maintained
the year round. Variations in the amount of
dference-in what the meteOrOiOEists call the
gradient are also observed, and il may be
assumed that one has recently occurred which
has tended to increase the velocity of the winds.
Such an effect might be produced in either one
of two ways. There might have been diminu-
ton of pressure near the equator or there
might have been unusual banking up of the
air along the tropics. Owing TO the lack OF
observatories at sea, it viii probably be i'm
possible 10 say which of these two influences
has operated. International barometric charts
show, however, that over the continents and
islands departures of this sort from average
conditions are not at all uncommon.
= deficiency or an excess of atmospheric press
ure in one part Of the globe must he compen-
stated for somehow elsewhere. The volume of
the air remains the same. 1t is the distribution

"RAGGLNG" AT OYEORn-

The custom OF raging at Oxford 10 which
the public in England has recently been devoting
considerable attention, seems to be kind of in
termittent and, in some cases. continued hazing
OF certain students. done according to system
and professedly with certain ends in view Usu-
ally it takes the form of some sort Of personal
violence or indgnity to student or an injury
to his belongings. and 1t has been known to
prevent some students from finishing their
courses. The number OF things for which a
student may be ragged" is indefinite, but the
principal ones are thus enumerated by Lon
don newspaper which sent correspondent 70
oxford to investigate the practice:
Wearing patent leather shoes during the first year
Carrying walking stick when in cap and gown.
Wearing cap and gown. except when unavoidable.
Lack of hospitality.
Showing signs of hard study.
Provincial accent.
OF course. it is possible that the reporter was
himself ragged" in his search for information.
but letters appearing in the London papers seem
to establish the fact that the above as well as
other offences. deemed sufficient reasons by
the students to warrant their earnest and con-
tinued effort at the Improvement OF the offender
II may also be conceded that, were the
Raging" restrained within due bounds little
discipline in such matters those indicated
might be wholesome in their effect. At any
rate, it is not probable that the agitation
against the practice, when not carried to
too great lengths, will be productive of i'm
mediate changes. Students at Oxford as
elsewhere employ no small part of the leisure
they make find in chipping off the rough
corners OF one another, and their work in this
respect, Though sometimes disheartening to the
new student. is not without ultimate benefits
There are. in exceptional cases. lasting injuries
mental and physical, due to hazing and rag
ging," and these, of course. cannot be too Sc
yerely condemned. But, on the other hand. the
