African Railway Development.

Africa has been aptly described as an annex of Europe" and in no re- spect does this appear more clearly than in its railway development. The Boers-though largely at instigation and under the direction of the British built a few hundred miles of line in the Transvaal in tre 90s, but of the many thousands of miles of rails that have been laid since the downfall of Krueger's republic, there is not one but has been financed by bankers, built by engineer, and operated by managers from beyond the Mediter- ranean.
 Because this impulse of develop ment has come almost entirely from nations whose African ambitions are constructive rather than destructive nations, which unlike the Dutch and Spanish, are too far-sighted to exploit their colonies after the fashion of mines, on a take-out-bu t-but-not-return basis-this growth has been healthy and vigorous one. The purely strat- egc line. such as was rushed so fever ishly in Asia twenty and thirty years ago to threaten or guard now this frontier and now that, is decidedly the exception in Africa.
 It is true that Britain laid thack at rate of mile a day across the burn ing snds of Soudan in order to allow Kitchener the sooner to come to grips with the Mahdi, and that France did not neglect to weave reinforcing strands of steel rails into the mesh of the political net it was casting about Morocco, and that Germany is not

blind to the fact that the spike-helmet- ed troops that can be marshalled on the banks of Lake Tanganyika when the Rar-e Salaam line from the East Coast is completed may make possible a new delimitation of Central Afri- can frontiers in case of emergency; but the fact remains that, above and beyond it's stragetic purpose, each one of these railways had distinct com mercial raison d'etre, mission of it's own to perform in the development of the regions to or through which it penetratel. Practically all the rest of the African railways are conner cial lines pure and simple, with no suspicion of strategic import attach ing to their construction.
 One of the most striking things about African railway development is the comparative evenness with which the various lines are and will be dis tributed. At the present time, it is true, nineteenth of the 1000 miles con- |
 structed ar eat the northern and southern ends of the continent, and because these are the temperate re- gions it is there that the closest net work of rails will be woven in the future. But run your eye around the i African coast-line and not that there are only two or three intervals of over 800 miles in all its 10000 miles and more of length which are not marked by at least the beginnings of a railwaf. A few of these, located in isolated scraps of colonies, are sim pie lignes de penetration, built to move the products of thei interior down to the costs, and with no espe- cial objective point in view beyond

 But, Joseph" said the minister, that is very clever, but it is not the real meaning of the text If you will look at the commentaries you will see that you are wrong"
 Parker thanked him and went his way. On the Monday the minister again met his friend.
 Well, Joseph. how did you get on yesterday?"
