SOME FACTS ABOUT AFRICA
Every Eighth Person Of the Popula.
ton Of the World Lives in tho
Dark Continent.

Nearly one-fourth Of the carth's
land surface is comprised within the
continent of Africa. 1t is as far around
the coast of Africa as it is around the
world. Every eighth person of the
worlds population lives in the Dark
Continent The blacks double their
number every 40 years and the whites
every so years. There are S43 Ian
guages and dialects in use among the
blacks of Africa. Only a few Of the
languages have been reduced to writ
ing. Thirty-tive years ago the export
of cocoa from the Gold Coast amount
ed to $40. Today is is over $S0OO.O0O.
The coal fields Of Africa aggregate
100000 square miles; its copper fields
equal those of North America and Eli
rope combined. and it has undevcloped
iron ore amounting to five times that
of North America. Africa has 10000
miles of river and lake navigation. and
water powers aggregating 80 times
those of Niagara Falls.
If Africa had the same proportion
Of railroad mileage as the United
States according to its size, it would
have q million miles of track instead
of the $4,000 miles now in operation.
One area in Africa unoccupied by mis-
sionaries is three times the size OF
New England, a second would make
four states like New York, third
would cover eight Iowas, and fourth
is IS times the size of Ohio. Through
out Africa there is one missionary for
every $4,000 souls.
Almost the entire continent is now
under European flags. France has
colony in Africa 20 times the size OF
France itself. The British flag flies
over territory as large as the United
States, and extends almost without in
terruption from the Cape to Cairo,
distance of 6,O0O miles.-World Out

That the Cossacks should have been
the first of the Russians to win through
b. roads deemed impossible is no mat
ter for surprise to anyone familiar with
the Cossack's horse. He is small, with
3 short, thick head and neck and q
Stopping back, but what he lacks in size
he makes up in sense. To weather aud
climate he is alike Indifferent, and does
not miss farm stable, because that
il luxury he never had. He will
thrive where any other horse would
starve, and relishes food that {, goat
would scorn. His rider will tethcr him
on a snow-covered plain and he will
get his own food by scraping. aside the
snow to get at the reindeer moss. And

II just dropped book on my sore
toe" remarked the professor. "Thc
pain caused me to jerk my arm. and
l upset bottle of ink over some val.
liable papers. This seems to confirm
the theory that misfortunes never come
singly."
"They never are single" said the
low-browed man. ''They're always
married, and some of them are biga-
mists. I've noticed that If anything
unpleasant happens to me before
breakfast, unpleasant things will keep
or happening all day. .
."The other morning I put my head
out of the window to see il there was
any weather on deck, and a bee came
along and stung me on the nose. ]

down enough to talk intelligently, that
my nose would be in trouble all day,
and she said she had no patience with
such superstition. She reminded
me that lightning never strikes twice
in the same place, and when tried to
point out that 1t wasn't lightning, but
six.cylinder bumblebee that struck
me, she shooed me out Of the house.
II went to milk tho cows, and sat
down by our old roam. She had COL
lected about five pounds Of mud, mixed
with cobblestOnes, on the end Of her
tail, and I was Just getting warmed
up to my milking when she swung
that loaded tail around and soaked me
on the nose. tell you, professor, a
man doesn't know what anguish is un'
til something like that takes the sun
shine out of his life. If you happen
to meet that roam COW one of these
days, ask her what l said to her.

, charge Of Major J. s. Jones' Here Is
how IT works; In every regiment both
in this country and in PershinE's
force several enlisted men record each
casualty. They report these to their
commanders, who send the reports
Immediately to headquarters. whence
they are cabled without delay to
Washington.
Major Jones at. once telegraphs to
he person mentioned in the soldiers
emergency address on ale at the War
Department. telling all he knows
about what happened to the soldier.
Later on detailed written reports a.
to how the men were killed or
wounded are mailed to the War De-
partment. This causes delay which
will lengthen as the casualty lists
grow.
II a soldier Is captured, Germany
under international law IL required to
report to this Government through
diplomatic channels, which takes
about six weeks.
The procedure Il practically the
same In the navy.
