DEVELOPING A NEW WORLD
Oirilizttioi and Oommercialiim Marching
Tog ethtr ia Africa.
NEW RAILROADS IN A VAST CONTINENT
Masrulflceat Distances of the Cape to
Cairo Railroad Scheme How
the toaatry Is Partitioned
Among Satlves.
Africa probably has been opened to clvllt-
ration and commercialism more rapidly
than any other country. Many or us nave
been prone to look upon It as the Africa
of Livingstone, of Paul Du Challlu and of
Stanley. Few of us realise the strides It
has made In the past decade. In the place
of unbroken Jungles filled with wild beasts
and wilder men great cities have arisen.
Tall buildings and broad streets noisy with
the hum of trade mark the spots once
deemed Inaccessible to the white man.
Cape Town, the capital of Cape Colony,
ceded to the British by the Dutch In 1515,
was then an unimportant village, dotting
the outskirts of warlike tribes of natives.
Today It Is bustling with all the life of
civilization and commerce, and Its popula
tion of 100.000 Is rapidly Increasing. Johan
nesburg, farther In toward the Interior,
with a population of between 30,000 and
40,000, Is another city of the once "Dark
Continent" that Is opening the way to the,
unexplored regions now mado possible to
the march of progress by the aggressive
actions of Cecil Rhodes. And still further
Inroads will be made Into this wonderful
country by the building of railways of
which the Cape to Cairo project Is the
pioneer. With the railroad the greatest
of all civlllzers will come the conquest of
the entire continent of Africa; so the action
at Victoria Falls the other day may be
noted as the beginning of a new era In a
new land with unlimited possibilities for
all nations.
Plctaresque Bridge,
The great Iron bridge which Is the most
picturesque point of the Cae to Cairo
railway, spans the Zambesi river at a
height of 420 feet above low water, cross
ing the gorge at Victoria Falls, and 1
consequently the highest structure of the
kind In the world, the second highest being
the Viaduct du Vlaur In France, with a
height of 375 feet. The bridge ia of the
cantilever type, was constructed In three
spans on the girder pattern, and has a
width of thirty feet. It was built by an
English company, the work being com
menced simultaneously from both banks
of the river, an electric motor cable the
largest ever used with a span of 900 feet,
carrying tbe material from one side to
the other. The height of the falls at the
places known as Danger Point and Boiling
Pot is 420 feet and the width of the river
above the cataracts Is fully a mile, while
the cleft In the plain through which the
water rushes narrows down In one spot to
scarcely more than 100 yards. Victoria
falls are considered as one of the greatest
sights in the world, the cloud of vapors
arising from them moistening the banks
of the river, which contains all their
original beauty, having been thus far un
molested by the hand of man. Along the
river a dense growth of grass and foliage
flourishes, serving as food for great herds
of buffalo and numerous other animals.
This primeval beauty, however, will be of
short duration, for even now a project Is
in hand to harness the mighty force of the
falls as Niagara has been harnessed and
so provide power for the mines which are
the leading industry at this point.
Magalaeeat Distances.
The Cape to Cairo railway will connect
Egypt with South Africa by a line of ,7ou
miles long. From the north the railway has
reached Khartoum, a distance allowing
for the river gap between Assuan and
wady Haifa of 1,400 miles. From Kaloma
the line Is to be continued for 20 miles In
a northeasterly direction, and probably
from Tanganyika there will be two lines,
one through the Congo and another
through German territory. Good progress
haa been made with the railway north of
the Zambesi, on the section known as the
northern extension, leading from Victoria
Falls to Kaloma, tha administrative cen
ter of Barotseland, a distance of o miles.

from Capo Town to the center of the
Barotse country. Next spring, when the
line to Kaloma Is In full operation, the
question of the further extension of the
railway toward Tanganyika will be dis
cussed. By that time there will be evi
dence of the wealth of the mineral deposits
in northwest Rhodesia, to the south of the
lake. The proposed lines through the Congo
and the German territory, the first via
Stanley Falls and the other through Ger
man East Africa, .via Tabora, will open an
entirely new country and will establish
trade relations In Africa with three Im
portant nations, which will be. directly In
terested, to say nothing of the trade with
the world at large. This plan Includes con
nections with the Congo Free State river
and railway system, and with Dar-es-
Salaam on the east African coast and Its
feeders east and west.
Promoting; Settlement.
The English In opening South Africa have
realized that the greatest need of the
country Is an Increased white population,
and In order to Induce colonists to go there
have offered free grants of land of 160
acres each to bona-flde settlers all along
the territory tapped by the Cape to Cairo
railway. No grant of land will be more
than three miles distant from the railway,
and this plan Is being carried out from
Bulawayo to the Zambesi, and will go as
fsr beyond as the railway extends. The
soil Is very fertile, the best paying pro
ducts being cotton and tobacco.
Other railroads will follow the construc
tion of this first through line In Africa.
The government of Soudan haa already
undertaken, at a cost of $8,760,000, the con
struction of the Suaklm-Berber railway,
which ta to have a length of 332 miles, and
will probably be In operation during the
early part of next year. The main dif
ficulties In constructing this line are the
absence of water along the route and the
occasional seven storms In the Sauklm
hills. The road will take a northerly
course, ascend the plateau for a distance of
3,00 feet, running parallel to the coast line,
snd then turn In a southwesterly direc
tion, reaching the Atbara about twenty
miles from Its Junction with the Nile, and,
after following thst river for some dis
tance. Join the line now tn existence a mile
north of the Atbara bridge. One of the
principal reasons urged for the necessity
of building this road was that until It
was constructed there could be no hope
of any development In that part of the
country. Wheat, for Instance, can be sent
from Chicago to Liverpool at practically
the same freight rates as from Khartoum
to Wady Haifa, the reason being the high
price of coal In the Soudan, necessitating
that tall freightage be brought to khar
toum from Alexandria. One of the results
that Is expected to come from the building
of the road Is the trade that will be estab
lished with the Arabian markets.
Area aad Poaalatloa.
Another great railway project originated
with the kbedlve of Egypt. It la a line
toward the frontier of Tripoli, and the
first steps have been taken In the work
by ordering 10,000 tons of steel. The road
will follow the present Mariout line for the
first part of the route. The decision of the
khedlve to construct a railway to Tripoli,
opening of the Cape to Cairo line, marks
following as It does so closely after the
an event of great Importance In the history
of the development of Egypt as a railroad
center, forming an outlet for the vast re
sources of equatorial Africa. Tbe Immense
extent of territory In Africa controlled
by civilized nations will be realized when
It Is known that more than 10.500.000 square
miles are held by different countries, only
l.BoO.000 square miles being unappropriated.
The population In this great territory ia
130.185.0O0. The major part of this popula
tion Is composed of the native negro tribes
although in the civilised sections the white
man Is rapidly encroaching on the original
race. Thus In Cape Colony the total popu
lation of ,. 602. of which 1.825,173 are
negroes and 580.380 whites. The ratio In
other parts of tbe continent that have been
settled by white men show about the same
results. The estimated area of the coun
try, and the population in .tbe districts con
trolled by the various nations are'

Field for Enterprise.
In the exploitation of South Africa an In
viting field Is opened to American enter
prise, the articles needed being those re
quired by all new countries, especially thoso
countries engaged In mining and agricul
tural pursuits. Tools, Implements and ma
chinery will be needed there and America
takes the lead In manufacturing all of these
articles. For a long time South Africa will
bo forced to seek supplies In foreign mar
kets, and the opportunities for the I'nlted
States to establish trade not only In South
Africa, but In East Africa also, as the new
roads open, are almost without limitations.
The natural growth and development of
South Africa will make It one of the most
favorable foreign fields for American trade,
the greater part of the Imports required
there being composed of Just such products
as are manufactured In this country.. Be
fore the opening of the Cape to Cairo rail
way the annual consumption of foreign
products In British South Africa amounted
to $230,083,848. The United Kingdom naturally
holds the largest place In this trade, but nt
that time practically no effort was, being
made on the part of the Vnlted States to
do any business there. Exports from the
I'nlted States to all British Africa during
the fiscal year 1904 amounted to $20,821, 4S0,
against $33,844,396 for the preceding year,
when the exports there reached their high
est point. With the exception of the year
1901, 1902 and 1903, our exports to British
Bouth Africa were larger, however, in 1P0I
than during any other period.
On the other hand, there are Immense
openings for trade In British East -Africa,
especially In Iron, copper and brass ware,
building material, coal, agricultural Imple
ments and numerous other articles. The
country Is capable of great possibilities.
Large forests ot timber grow for hundreds
of miles along the banks of the River
Juba, and In these forests may be found
oak, walnut, ebony, mahogany and Iron re 1
wood. At present there are more than 30.000
camels employed In transporting Immense
quantities of merchandise from the coast
towns to the interior. The greater part of
the business there Is tn the hands of Amer
icans and Germans. When the railroads are
built the business will Increase tenfold, per
haps more. Brooklyn Eagle.
Papier Maehe Stage Faod.
"Papier mache food won't be seen on the
stage this sison. Everything chickens,
chops, cutlets, loaves will be real." The
speaker, a manufacturer of stage proper
ties, durted a casque and resumed, a II 1 1 in
sadly: "I have had to do away with my
pupler mache food department, discharging
two men and an apprentice. For even the
10, 20 and SO-rent shows won't carry fake
viands now. They say that as far back a
Paint Rock, Merna and Lodi the people In
sist that actors eat real food on the stage.
It looks better, I suppose. At the same
time, this new-fangled realism Is playing
the deuce with the stage property business.
It Is putting good men out of work. And
consider Its expense. I know of ons comedy,
with a banquet scene In the second act,
where a bottle of real champagne and a
real lobstsr salad are used every night.
This comedy haa been played 1,000 times In
the last three years. There Is expense for
you an expense of $4,000 for food alone.
Well, one papier mache champagne bottle
and one papier mache salad worth about $3
would have saved all that money." Phil
adelphia Bulletin.
