In the heart OF Africa ut has been built
by the Belgian government to enable the
various Belgian colonies to communicate
with one another. The wires are strung
on iron posts and on the largest trees
OF the jungle. Some of the poles are ALI
a mile apart, where the wires cross q
swift river or dangerous swamp. Posts
could not be used on account OF the white
ants. and the large number of elephants
made 1t necessary to keep the wires high
