and aIes and light wines. He asserts that peoples who are given to the use Of light wines and beers show few if any signs of physical /or moral de- generation In advocating a world wide crusade against King Alcohol, and an international prohibition of the manufacture or sale of alcoholic beverages, the explorer would apply the ban onlyk to those drinks above the strength of Ii ghts wines and beers.
 If such a compromise is not satis- factory to the prohibfti onists, most of whom are unwilling to make any distinction between alcoholic bever- ages but are determined to. consign them all to destruction, Sir Harry be- Iieves that it will become necessary to invent a new stimulant to take the. place of alcohol

He adds: We want sub stitutes in attractiveness of taste or in stimulating qualities for the va . r1ous dilutions of alcohol whicr are infuentially declared to be sqS del,s-: terious in their effect on mind and body
 Tn his travels Sir Harry in com mon with many other travellers, has noted the difficulty often met wit h. Of securing tpalatable and pure water, and he urges upon temperance peo- pie the necessity of attending to this vital matter. In his opinions beer is much better than the water to be obtained in many cities of Europe and America.
 Aside from the beverage made fa- nous by MT. Bryan, the English ez- plorer sffnds little merit in the so- fcalled temperance drinks, but he be- tlieves that with the growth of tenn perance sentiment the ideal substi- tute will yet be found.

Explorer Johnston, 56 To-day Urges Need of New StimtrIar1f.


 One of the most interesting discuss Gdons of the temperance question in. recent years comes from Ine pen Of Sir Harry Hamilton Johnston. the celebrated English explorer African aduninistrator, globe-trotter and ali thor, and is publisfed in the Nine lteenth Century Sir Harry, who was horn in London f1fty-six years ago. to-day, has spent the greater part of 5hiE mature life among savage peo- pies in the wild places of earth . It has been said that he has penetrated farther into the souls and innermost thoughts and motives of Afrfcan ns than any other white man, and he has also followed the fortunes of the black race in America and summed up his investigations in The Negro in the New World
 Sir Harryss Indictment of the n- Quor trad7c is based largely on the allegation that the strong waters of cIFFuxatfon are responsible for the de- inferior races who have had Chris tdanity and it's inevitable acconpanf- ments introduced among thefn. Tn. the course of his wanderinfss he has observed that the nfaislxey agent fol- lows the missionary, that the bottle. keeps pace with the Bible, and that the salvation of souls involves the destruction of bodies.
 while the eminent explorer has painted alcohol as very black and destructive devil. his deniIncfa tfons are marked by the. sweet -reaeonabIe- ness of the scientific spirit and he has manifested an inclination to give the devil his due.
