CITY MAY HAVE BIG FUTURE
Dakar, in South Africa, Promises to
Develop Into Something Like
Another Liverpool.

The city of Dakar in South Africa,
less than half a century ago in a really
primitive condition, with naked chill
dren running around the streets and
mothers working with babies strapped
upon their backs, has suddenly come
into prominence as the prospective
"Liverpool" of Africa. In the keen
competition that is expected between
America and Europe for trade in South
Africa, Dakar, it is believed, will have
an important role to play.
The French are today making ex-
tensive improvements at Dakar. They
have spent much money in enlarging
the dry dock and making the harD0r
deeper as well as increasing the facli-
tiles for transferring cargo from boat
to train. The Dakar Of today Is a
thriving town of about 25,OOO people,
with wide well-laid-out streets, large
technical school, hospitals and work
shops. There are, however, a great
majority of natives. being in fact, only
about $500 Frenchmen.
These natives have been SAID by
some to have formerly been the mas
tiers of the Mediterranean. They are
wonderful fighters and it was only
with great difficulty that in 1862 Gen.
Faidherbe, the French governor, was
able to overcome them. Thus he paved
the way for the founding of Dakar
We may know a great deal more about
1t later.

Forty Is Sacred Number
With Respect to Weather
After st. SWithin's Day

/ The 40-day period of imaginary
flood or drought following st. Swith-
ms day is now long past for this year,
and we shall hear no more of that
singular superstition, says the New
York Herald, until next summer, when
1t will doubtless bob up serenely,"
only to be discredited again as 1t has
invariably been every year since the
worthy bishop of Winchester was bur.
led the second time. For, Of course,
the prophecy has never so much as
once been fulfilled. 1t requires every
day from July Is to August "a in every
year to be either rainy or rainless,
which is something that never has
happened in any year.
Why 40 days was selected as the
period of meteorological monotony is an
interesting question, though it is prob
able that it was suggested by the 40
days downpour in Noah's time. AT
any rate, it is only one of the many
noteworthy uses that have been made
of the number 40 in fact and fiction.
After the 40 days and 40 nights OF
rain at the deluge, 1t will be recalled,
Noah waited 40 days before he opened
the window of the ark and sent forth
the raven.
