SEARCHING THE HIDDEN SPOTS.

There Is general feeling that the
geographical problems Of the centuries
have been solved. and that nothing
be explored. The finding Of the sources
of tho Nile, Gratifying old and discred-
tied maps,) achievements in the arctic
aud tho antarctic, havo been spectacu-
lar and have left the impression that
there is nothing more to learn geograph-
ically about the earth.
That this view is erroneous has been
amply proved by discoveries Of various
kinds in Africa, by the finds Of Sven
Hedin in central Asia, and by the cf-
forts of explorers in other parts Of the
world. It is recently distinctly dis.
proved by the discovery on the west
African coast by an exploring party
sent out by the Governor of Federated
Nigeria, Sir Frederick Lugard, under
the command Of Lieutenant Hughes Of
the English Navy, Of elevated land and
a good inlet. The west African
coast has been known as fever breed
to German Southwest Africa, something
like 1000 miles; it is a plague coast
where white mon IS lives were always in
peril through fevers and malaria; but
this expedition has discovered in South
Nigeria navigable channel in the
Bonny River, which is proved to be 70
feet deep, the current running between
cliffs 45 feet high, and said to afford
points of location absolutely free from
the malaria which is so prevalent gen
orally upon that long coast. At once
it was determined TO build town there,
and to make it the terminus of the Brit
ish railway Of Nigeria and the coal dis
tributing center for all west Africa.
1t is expected that with this favor
able location from sanitary stand
point, the British medical officials,
guided by the lessons Of the American
sanitation work at Panama. will be able
to build town that will be salubrious
and that white men can live in with
such immunity and comfort as they are
now enabled to live in in Panama.
1t is great discovery, immensely
more valuable than the discoveries
either in the arctic or the antarctic, and
1T appears to have been made with the
minimum Of cost and through sort of
fortuitous accident that is both sur
prising and agreeable. This inciden.
may lead to further discoveries that
may locate yet more salubrious points
on the west African coast, which has
heretofore been held to be absolutely
unfit for the residence of white men.

A LITTLE CONTRAST.

When Japan heard that certain
japanese in China had been wronged,
the japanese uniform flouted, the
Japanese flag scorned, and had reason
to believe that the lives of Japanese in
China were imperiled, the Mikado did
not send peace envoy over to beg
Chinese to have 4 care what they were
doing, to quit killing Japanese if they
could do so consistently with their pro-
gramme, nor did he warn the japanese
in China that they had all better come
home, since the Japanese government
had neither the power nor the inten-
tion Of protecting them, their property,
or their homes, in China. On the con-
trary. the Mikado sent percmptory
demand for suitable guarantees for the
protection Of Japanese residents in
China, and insisted on spectacular
apology for such disrespect as had been
shown heretofore to the japanese as
people and to Japan as nation.
China promptly complied, and the in
cident is presumed to be closed
On the other hand, when Americans
were being murdered in Mexico and
their property burned and otherwise
destroyed, our President sent a per-
sonal envoy to see if that barbarism
couldn't It be stopped by Mexico, and at
the same time called on Americans resi-
dent in Mexico to come home; this, of
course, upon the theory that the United
States could neither protect them it.

ment to protect them, A few Ameri-
warning, and now some Of these want
to 60 back, claiming that they left
Mexico not because they were in any
danger, but merely because President
Wilson called upon them to come home.
Our government paid the expense Of
bringing them away from Mexico, but
refuses to pay the expense of sending
them back 1t is miserable. futile
piece of business altogether, that is
well calculated to bring the blush Of
shame to the cheek of every true
American.
And what was 1T all ab0utg Simply
because President Wilson had deter
mined on moral grounds that he would
not recognize the actual President Of
Mexico. Pushing this idea to its logi-
cal conclusion, it would be necessary
for us to investigate the title of every
ruler of every nation upon the earth
to satisfy ourselves that that ruler
was rightfully in his official position.
AS to Great Britain, we would have to
! decide whether the Hanoverian line
is in fact the rightful ruling house Of
Great Britain. And we would have to
decide like question in the case OF
Spain, and we might perhaps even have
TO go back to the wars Of Frederick
. the Great 10 sec whether he had any
