COUNTED HIS FOOTSTEPS.
German Explorers Singular Way o.
Mapping His Route through
Africa.

Count Edward Wickenburg, a Ger
man explorer, lately returned home af-
ter long expedition in Africa He
started from the French port of Dill
BOUT, Travelled inland to Addis-Ababa,
the capital Of King Menelik, then on to
the great brackish Lake Rudolf, and
finally to Lamu, on the Indian ocean.
1t was a very fruitful journey and the
best feature of it was the fine map he
brought home of his entire itinerary,
says London paper.
Count Wickenburg had with him two
pedometers. which counted his foot
steps for him, and he was thus saved
the labor which Dr. Junker underwent
when he walked 400 miles into the
depths Of Africa and had to count every
step himself. Wickenburg ascertained
very carefully the average length of his
steps. One thousand steps were repre-
sented on the map by line little over
third of an inch in length. Every mile
he walked added about an inch to his
route on the map.
When his path was straightaway he

So he trudged on. compass in hand
taking the direction Of the route while
his pedometers kept steadily counting
his footsteps Twenty-one big sheets
were required to record the first stage

When the expedition returned home
his hundreds of big map sheets were re.
duced. in the process of the engraving

Many Millions Already spent and
Many More Necessary for
It's Completion.

1t is estimated that 1t will cost the
United States s1S4 ,233, 1858 to acquire and
complete the Panama canal, besides the
amount to be paid to the government in
control Of the isthmus for the conces-
sion.
Already there has been an immense
amount Of money and energy expended
on the canal. 1t is safe to say, asserts
the New York Tribune, that a sum
more than sufficient TO dig waterway
from ocean to ocean at sea level has
been collected from investors at differ
ent times in its history.
When De Lesseps organized the first
company in 1880 for the construction
Of the canal, it started work at paid up
capital of 100000, 900. For eight years
the company toiled, employing at times
as many as $4,000 men. Then came a
necessity for changing the plans and
the company failed, after having col
| lected in round figures from the sale OF
stock and bonds s260,OOO,OOO OF this
it was shown that the expenditures
actually made on the isthmus amounted
to $3.50, 100000, and that the cost of ex-
cayation and embankment proper was
sS8 100000 The ultimate cost was then
estimated at s174600, 900. For several
years an EFFORT was made to capitalize
new company to complete the work,
and at last, in 1894, the present Panama
Canal company was organized with a
paid up capital of s13 900 600 Since that
time work has advanced at the rate of
about 100000 cubic yards Of excaya-
tion each year.
The total amount of excavation up to
the present time has been about 81 ,000,-
900 cubic yards. Unfortunately only
about 100000 cubic yards of this is
available for the waterway proposed
in 1S99-1900 by the canal commission,
of which Rear Admiral Walker was
president. The Walker commission S
recommendations included this avail
