OPENING UP AFRICA. ' BREATH OP THE IRON HORSE I IN FAR INTERIOR. iBSIrartly tha Capital Kent fr .in laa la Interest ta lining Great «■«><><• la the Itark Continent — l>n»k» Merchants. HE Isindon Iron monger says: "So more Important an nouncement, from a commercial point of view, has been made for many yearn than that made to the House of Common* on Friday, Aug. »0, hy Curxon In relation to the Uganda railway. The government li.is substantially adopted the recommendations of the de partment committee (Including such experienced authorities on Africa n matters as Hlr John Kirk, Colonel Colville, Hlr Alexander Kendel, Hlr Montagu Ommaney, and Hlr I'ercy Anderson), and have decided to construct a line of railway from the coast, at Mombnsa to Uganda, on the great. Victoria Nyanr.a lake. The line will bo about gGO miles In length, and vfcll cost something like C2.000,ww ster ling. It was suggest'd that the line should be mode up to a placo called Ki kuyu, a distance of about. 800 miles from the coast, hut the government have wisely, ns wo think, decided to go right through to the lake, thus opening up to commerce an enormous m . / ■ . _ . I A fs/.ln < tl /I niru tit nar-t. * run hi «■» ■■ , upper waters of the Nile, through the ^ lakes, and for hundreds of mil'* around them. The exact gauge of the railway ha* not yet been settled, but It will probably be one of 3 feet 6 Inehes, similar to that of many thous and* of mile* In India, The govern ment have decided not. to employ <«n tractors, but will construct the line themselves, partly for the sake of economy, hut chiefly In order to avoid friction and trouble with the natives during tho period of construction. There I* reason for believing that the general principles of construction will be on Indian Dries, and It Is probable that steel sleepers will lie used on part, at all events, of the track. It Is esti mated that the line will speedily be on a paying basis, and, na Mr. t'urzon thinke It can afford to carry for £17 a ton goods which now cost £1X0 a ton by native porters, there should be the best prospects of success Indeed, the esti mate Is that only 69 tons a week, or 3,600 ton* a year, will give the £60,000 a year act down for the working ex pense*. The probability Is that the receipts will greatly exceed the esti mate, seeing that steamers will be placed upon (he lake, and will be al most certain to create a big trade with tho native*. Morever. as part of the railway will pass over lunds some 7,00*1 or 8,000 feet, above sea level, there is every likelihood of European or Hindoo settlers taking up such landa for tea coffee, etc., growing purpose*. The natives are said to he horn traders on many parts of the route, and It is quite likely that the passenger traffic may become of considerable propor tions. In any event Die opening of this line of railway through a district with a population of many millions, and In fluencing directly and Indirectly an area with it population of r.ome <o,ouo,uuu to 00,000,000. must bo of tho highest pos sible Importance to British trade. The construction of the line will be watched with the utmost Interest, and tho open ings lor trade given by It will need to be zealously and carefully cultivated by our manufacturers and merchants.'’ CollettUui of Handkerchiefs. Tourists returning from abroad re port a new fad which has, for the mo ment at least, superseded the erstwhile popular craze for souvenir spoons; In stead, milady new collects dainty hand kerchiefs. From the days of Josephine to the present the handkerchief has been an Important item In the expen diture of a fastidious woman; a good dresser considers her toilet Incomplete without a bit of snowy lawn or linen, which, though scarcely ever seen, and It may be severely plain, must yet bo above reproach with regard to Oneness of texture. An Inveterate globe trotter, r who has Just returned from the other side, rejoices In au exquisite collection of these cobwebby nothings. At every city or town where she slopped, no mut ter how short her stay or how Inslgni grant the village, another square of linen was faithfully added to her spoils, and, curiously enough, she reudlly re calls where eurh was purchased Ho that her handkerchief*, In u measure, serve her us a sort of uote book.
