 Mediterranean Africa.
 Mediterranean Africa is very easily reached from Europe. The French have a number of lines which steam from Mar seille to Algiers, Gran and Tunis, and there are Italian ships which make the same ports One can go almost daily in 24 hours from France to Agiers, and the trip to Tunis is not much longer. There are ships sailing weekly from Naples to Tunsa and there is line of vessels which goes from Tunis to Tripolt. calling at Safax and Ciabes and thence going on by way of Tripoli to Malta. These boats are of about 1000 tons each and are rather dirty. The fares are low.
 At present the German lines are trying to catch the American travel to Egypt and both the Hamburg American and North German Lloyd have branch lines from Naples to Alexandria. Within the past year or so the Hamburg-Amerlcan has put it's own steamers on the Nile and they now compete Nltn tue iIah Ne9sSi9 of the Khedive and with those of Thomas Cook x Son, which have so long held a monolopy of that trade
 If one would visit Morocco he had best go direct to Gibraltar and take the small ships from there across to Tangier, or he can start at Marseilles and come down the coast of Spain on the French vessels to Malaga and cross to Morocco that way. The British have a Morocco line which makes a round trip of all the ports on the Atlantic from London in about 25 days The cost is Sl25 and during the voyage one calls at the Canary Islands and the Madeiras. and also at seven diff ferent ports in Morocco. There is Ham burg company which makes somewhat the same route, and a French line which goes from Marseilles to Tangier three times every month.

Vessels Which Sail Around The

 "EW people realize the enormous

 4 travel about Africa. All of our great Atlantic liners now have ships which leave New York regularly for the Mediterranean, and not a few of these call at Algeria and have branch lines to Egypt. There are regular sailings to Eu- rope from every African port and there is a continuous line of vessels stretched like a necklace of beads about the black continent.
 I went from New York to Morocco on one of the big steamers of the North Ger man Lloyd, which in eight days landed me at the Strait of Gibraltar. We passed by the Azores, almost touched Spain, and. in coming into port, could see the heights Of Africa over the way crossed the strait in launch to Tangiers. which is only a few miles distant, and then ooasted the northern shores of the Medi- terranean sea, including Algeria, Tunisia and Tripoli.
 After leaving the land of the Nile took ship through the Suez canal and then went down the 1400 miles which com prise the length of the Red sea, going out through Bab-el-Mandeb to Alden, in southern Arabia. From that port I had ore of the steamers of the Indian ocean to carry me around the Great Horn of East Africa, and I went on other steamers scuthward along the east coast, passing through the Mozambique channel to Beira, in Portuguese East Africa. From Cape Town I journeyed up the west coast of the continent to the Madeira Islands, not far from Gibraltar where I had started in. and thence went on to Southampton and home to New York. It will thus be seen that have circumnavigated the con tinent I have gone over the routes of the early Phoenicians, who were sent

FIRST CITY TO USE GAS.
A "Lighthouse" Built in 1902 to lllu-
 minate Richmond.

From the Boston Post
 The Old Stone House is the oldest structure in Richmond, Va, and in its glody days it entertained many noted people Here George Washington had hS headquarters; here Lafayette lived for a time, and James Monroe was at one tune it's tenant.
 faVorite meeting place for the lead CTS of the South, it became known as the political capitol of Richmond. It stlll contains many relics of it's noted occu- pants.
 A curious bit of forgotten history was enacted near the old house in 1902 There came to Richmond one, Henfrey, in that year. and he announced to the citizens that he could pour flame from tea kettle instead of steam or water. He showed the astonished citizens this feat, and as a result was asked to see what he could do toward lighting the city.
 He erected near the Old Stone House an octagonal tower of brick with large lantern with many jets on the top. Here he proceeded to generate gas in a kind of still in the basement, and conducted 1t by

railroad there b4onging to the French, which takes one In and almost to Harrar and from there all travel must be on camels and mules.
 There are also regular steamers sailing from Bombay to the ports of East Africa. and a number of large vessels which make regular trips to Australia via Cape Town The White Star line has such service, composed of steamers of about 12 900 tons each: the New Zealand Ship ping company and Shaw & Seville have similar vessels. On these ships the pass age to Cape Town costs from SlOO to $loo, and to Australia perhaps $20 or $So more. Indeed one can make an ocean trip around the world in that way taking passage from London to New Zealand and thencS going to England by the Strait of Mag gellan.

 Henfrey failed in one thing, as electric light pioneers failed later. He expected that his lighthouse" would illuminate the whole city. This was not accom- plished. and the novelty wore off. and finally Henfreys tower was abandoned.

 Big Steamships to the Cape.
 There are now a half dozen lines of steamers plying between England and the Cape of Good Hope. They make the voy- age in from F to 23 days, and there are other and slower vessels which, stopping at the various ports, are a month or so on the way.
 Some of these ships go down the east coast by way of the Suez canal, and some sail back and forth by the west coast alone. Then, there are ships which go to the Cape of Good Hope on their way to Australia, steamers which sail that way for India, and other lines which make the trip around the continent start ing in at one side and coming back by the other, and vice versa.
 The fare from London to Cape Town ranges from $12O to $25O and there are sec ond-class rates by which one can go as cheaply to Cape Town as he can travel first-class fare from New York to Liver pool. The vessel upon which I came from the Cape of Good Hope to England was one of the big mail steamers Of the Union Castle line. It was the Saxon, vessel of over 12000 tons. We made the trip in just r days, and were landed at Southampton at the very hour we were told we would reach there before leaving.
 The Union Castle Line.
 The Union Castle line is one of the old est of the African steamship companies. As the Union line. it sent the first steam vessels regularly to South Africa. There were only two of the company's ships which then exceeded 800 tons. About 20 years later this line was united with the Castle company, the two being combined by Sir Donald Currie, who is still the president of the organization. At that time the contract for the mails was based on a 37-day passage with a $500 bonus

Columbia, S. c., Aug. 2S.-The crest
of the great freshet which, starting
in the Piedmont section of the state,
has swept through the southeastern
part, leaving ruined farms and Grip
pied railway lines in it's wake, has
now passed Columbia and is moving
toward the lower part of the state.
Kingville, Is miles south of this city
on the Wateree river, is seven feet
under water, and every house in town
is destroyed. The water at that point
is still rising. No accurate estimate
of the damage can be done, but it
probably will run well into the mill

The brunt of loss falls on the far
