Signe, looking up as the &eat per-

"Laura, doo't be ridiculous!"
"It's true, I assure you. I quite fear-

9yer Africa, by Ran,
It is now possible to cross Africa W•
reit anti water in practical eornfort.
Kings in Africa could always travel in
comparative comfort; but one not a
king had aifficulties to contend with,
which are being slowly- removed by
the steady extension of thee means and
neethsede of civilization.. Following
approximately the trailtraversed by
Livingstone and Stanley in penetrating
the heart of that vast mmtinent in-
fested by wild animals and hostile
natives, the traveller to -day may go
from Banana at the mouth of the
Congo River on the west coast, td
Dar-es-Salaam .on the Indian Ocean, a
distance of 3,046 railes, All but the
last section, Kigomo to DarsesSetiaani,
As in Belgian Congo, and the transmit-
litieutal trip may be made, with
good connection, in. forty. days., The
gaoge of tile rail -reads in Congo is tevo
feet, five and one-half Inches., Lake
Tanganyika ia 2,642 feet above the sea
level, The final gap an this route,
Kabalo to *Albertville, was finished
and opened to traffic in 1915, and the
map of the route of the Congo is a fair
outline of a tropical helmet.- The

the "haagman's stone," The exposed
portion of the bowlder rlees about oix
feet above the surface of the ser -
rounding field and. has a narrowditch
or indentation running acres2. the
top, The mark, so tradition says, was
made in this way; A *sheep thief in
the dead of night, while Matting

hie booty above on the flat surface of
the stone. The man had the sheep bed
with a rope, and in ite efforts to. es-

Pesite side, awl the rope, catching uup
der the thief's chin, eboked him to
