in the hitherto unknown region lying
along the frontier between the French
Sahara and the Anglo-E Egyptian Sudan.
Tilho was entrusted with the task of
pacifying and organizing this region
under the French government; and his
surveys embrace a stretch of previous
ly llnexplored country extending more
than 1,10O miles from the center Of
Tibesti southeast to the vicinity of Ell
flasher, in Darfur. His photographic
work fills up large blank in the map
of Africa. He urges the need of a
railway through this region, for the
benefit not only Of the world at large,
but also Of the natives, who are sub
ject to periodical famines. 1t is stated
that from one-half to three-fourths of
the inhabitants Of northern Wadai
died of famine in 1914. One especially
interesting result of his investigations
is the disproof of the hypothesis, sup
ported by his earlier explorations, that
there is a connection between Lake
Chad and the Nile river system. Tilho

RECLAIM MANY SUNKEN SHIPS
Hundreds Of Vessels In British Waters
Have Been SaIvaged--PosslbiIity
of Raising the Lusitania.

Most welcome Is the announcement
from London that since January, 1915,
407 ships sunk by the Germans In
British waters have been salvaged
lat of them, by improved methods, in
five months of the present year.
Britains coast, like our own, is
edged by broad belt of shallow wa
ter. For 200 miles of the channels
length no spot reaches depth of 100
fathoms; much of 1t is quite shallow,
which accounts for the chop that makes
so many who cross it briefly unhappy.
From our own Norfolk one gets well
out of sight Of land before reaching
water too deep for salvage operations.
Depth increases more rapidly off the
Irish coast, but even thes Lusltania
lies near the 50-fathom line, below the
shatter of the storm, yet near enough
the surface SO that many practical
wreckers have said that it would be
possible, though exceedingly difficult,
to bring her forth to nautical resur-
