UNEXPLORED AFRICA.
A Portion of the Dark Continent
Yet Unknown.
Vnapproprlntet Parts of the ('nnntnr the

Xation.
There is yet an unexplored and un
appropriated section of Africa extend
ing from tlie scene of Stanley's explora
tions on the Cono northward to I;ke
Tchad, says the Sprinjrtielil (Mass.)
Republican. It lies east of the equa
torial province and south of the new
line of the French sphere from the
Ni;er to Lake Tchad: it is a rich and
fertile country, and said to le one of
the most desirable possessions in the
dark continent. The London Times
pives an interesting survey of the man
euvering on the part of France, Ger
many and Kn-ktnd for pos.-ession of
this territory, which touches the
-phercs of all these nations.
The French scheme is the most am
bitious, and it includes a railroad from
Itra.zaville on the Conjo in that part
of lower (iuinea given to the French by
the conference that fixed the lnjun
daries of the Free State of the Cono
northward throiijrh twenty-five de
grees of latitude to Algiers. For five
hundred or six hundred miles north
ward the road would pass through this
unappropriated strip, then would come
disputed ground, not intended to le in
cluded in the French sphere, and which
can only be annexed after a prolonged
controversy with Germany and Film
land. The valley of the Shari, includ
ing the province of I!a'rirmi and parts
of Adamawa and IJornon. lie south of
Lake Tchad, and are in the territory
under the eye of the Uoyal Ihitish
Nifrer Company, which would formally
resist their annexation to Fram e. Nor
would Germany consent to this addi
tion to the French sphere if she had no
other reason for opposing this railroad.
The doctrine of hinterland, however,
comes in play here.
Germany's sphere in the Cameroon
extends eastward to the fifteenth dejrree
of east lonjritudc. and behind this
sphere Ties territory appropriated by
France reaching to the Mohanr'i. wldch
is the property of the t'ono Free State.
This French appropriation is contrary
to the Gerinan-L'njrlish afrreement, and
cuts Germany oiF from a portion of her
hinterland, as the appropriation of ter
ritory nlon the line of this proposed
railroad would form the remainder.
German parties are now pressing east
ward from the Cameroons to take pos
session of this hinterland a strong one
under the jjovcrnor working steadily
toward the northeast: another under
Lieut. Morten makiu r its way to the
sources of the J Univ. while a third is
on its way to c:-.iblish a base of opera
tions in tlu J'aii v nintry, on the bor
ders of Adanviwn.
French exploring parties are pene
trating this reion from tlu1 north as
well as t!v south. From the south they
have followed the Mohan si river and
its branches o;ie p.ietv f..lloivi:i- the
i-mr.;1 to alxint fou- c',j:-.-.-s north lati
tude; another the Mob ui.s'i to the Hon
frru rapids, whence it is proposed to
push across c untry to the Sharl ami
throujrh to Lake Toh.i-1. From Algeria
and from Seneambia expeditions are
trying t re:vh the upper iycr and
thence alon,- t Lake Tchad.
In the meantime the Loyal Niirer
Company are lo.iki:v.r after their coii
ncftions with the central Soudan and
trying to k v-p hold of the c mntries not
granted t ii'rance t the south an. I ca.st
of Lake Teha.t. The Sh.-ri valh-y. la
girrui. an I Wa.laith -y will keep in their
sphere if they eaa; tlie Ih-itis'.i V.:it Af
rican Company will h-nd on to Darfur,
and will work it; way s far to the
siuth and west of t hat conn try as it is
able. Whatever lYi-vc and Germany
may claim when the time comes for the
new partition of thi.. unappropriated
part of Central Africa liy international
a.rrei nier.t. as it must before long. Film
land will probably manure to secure
the larger part if not the whole of the
Central S oinl.nn for herself.
RANK AND RICHES.
They lo ?,ot t ut Mtirh it a Figure in
1'olitr MiikIikIi Sorii ty.
Air English woman, whose position
insures the absolute verity of her state
ments, affirms most solemnly that, so
far from Albert Edward setting the
fashions for Kngland, the fact that a
lady is a memlter of the prince of Wales'
set acts as a bar wl, cli shuts the dors
of hosts of exclusive houses against her,
says the Illustrated American. The
heir apparent is himself welcomed
nearly every where, but individual men
or women whom he delights to honor
are unmistakably stamped as unfit.
Such knowledge is consoling to a large
class of thoughtful people on this side
who were stagirered by some of the es
capades that supposedly passed muster,
even among the conservative clement
of Great lhitain. The llashj-, much
quoted, photographed and paragraphed
woman of the London season holds by
no means an enviable position when
lists for country-house parties are made
up. Of course, very exalted titles and
the fabulous wealth concentrated in the
fortunes of to-day carry a magic inllu
ence few can resist. l!ut. nevertheless,
a pure, exclusive circle of gentlemen
and gentlewomen still remains that has
withstood the blandishments of rank
and riches.
MOLECULES AND SPAUCES.
A Simple Keriment That Srcuis to Ka -tnbli-.li
the Atomic Theory.
According to the atomic theory, all
matter is composed of small particles
of matter called molecules. ltvtwccn
the molecules are spaces called port s,
muh larger than the molecules them
selves. Loth molecules and pores are
to small that the most powerful micro
bcope cannot detect them. Neverthe
less, says the Albany Argus, the follow
lowiny simple experiment is convinc
ing: Fill a wide-mouthed lottle completely
full of alcohol or kerosene. Then drop
small tuft.-, of cotton batting upon the
fcurface of the li pii.L The batting will
immediately absorb a portion of tlie
liquid, and will then sink In-low the
surface. Kcpeat tliis operation several
times, and it will then le noticed that
the Katie does not seem to le quite full
of the liquid, although if the expert
ment has lieen carefully icrformed,
none has overflowed. Now, by means
of a line wire, puh the cotton to the
bottom of the lott and add more. In
this w ay a large aiuontit of cotton may
be added before the liquid will overflow.
The only satisfactory explanation
seems to le that the molecules of each
buhstauce enter the spaces, between the
molecules of the other.

a communication on the subject from a
correspondent of the En-lish Mechanic
He writes: -The most merciful way of

Used up.
It's the only way to use some
things, but it's a bad condition
for a man or woman. It means
disease. Take Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery.
That means health. It invig
orates the liver and kidneys,
purifies the blood and cleanses
and renews the whole system.
For all scrofulous humors and
blood-taints, and even con
sumption (or lung-scrofula), if
taken in time, it's a positive
remedy. It's a gttaratztccd one.
In all diseases of the liver,
blood and lungs, it's warranted
to benefit or cure, or the
money is refunded. No other
medicine of its class is sold,
through druggists, on this fe-
j adiar plan. You can judge
why. You only pay for the
good you get.

A BRAVE FRENCHMAN.
Destruction or the Frigate Philadelphia
by Lieut. Ieratnr.
Ninety years ago, says the Chicago
News, the pasha of Tripoli declared war
against the United States on account of
fancied grievances. He felt slighted be
cause this government had presented the
bey of Algiers with a fine frigate and
had sent him none. The pasha began
hostilities against the American mer
chant, marine, and for its protection a
squadron was sent to the Mediterranean.
Decatur had command of the schooner
Norfolk of eighteen guns, but was aft
erward transferred to the Enterprise.
In the winter of 103-4 the frigate Phil
adelphia ran aground on a reef off Tri
poli and was captured by the enemy.
The Tripolitans succeeded in getting
her afloat and into the harbor. De
catur heard of the misfortune that had
K'fallen the frigate and volunteered to
destroy her. He had captured the ketch
Mastieo, which he renamed the In
trepid and made use of in carrying out
his daring scheme. Concealing a num
ber of men below the decks, he stood
boluiy into the harbor of Tripoli on the
14th of February, 1S04. He had given
his ship the appearance of a vessel in
distress, and her warlike character was
not suspected. The Philadelphia was
anchored right under the guns of the
forts, but IXcatur sailed up to her with
out hesitation. As soon as the two ves
sels were alongside Decatur and his
men rushed on board the frigate, drove
the panic-stricken crew overboard and
then set the ship on fire. As soon as
this was done the Americans jumped
into their little vessel and made their
escape without losing a man, though
they were made the target of 141 rapid
firing guns. The Philadelphia was com
pletely destroyed. Admiral Nelson, of
the British nary, pronounced Decatur's
feat the most daring act of the age.
' A Dealer In Wrecks.
Almost all the wrecks of vessels that
go ashore, or burn up. or sink in col
lisions along the Atlantic seaboard are
bought by one man. Jle has mastered
the secret of disposing of all the parts
of such vessels to good advantai to
himself. He has storehouses at various
points for the keeping of tackle and
tools and has made himself as formid
able as a modern trust. He cannot
.sell as readily as he buys, however. He
must wait until some one wants just
the curious things he happens to have,
and very often an engine, or a pair of
anchors, or a set of masts lies long upon
his hands.
How to Find Water.
A farmer of Atchison, Kan., wante-d
to dig a well; so he plowed a lot of land
and planted it in oats. Every day he
watched the oats,observingthe spots that
showed the greatest moisture. Finally
he selected a spot and sank a well. At
twenty-four feet he had a fine stream
of water.- It is said U be the best well

A SNAKE THAT REASONED.
How He Managed to Oet a Frof Ont
Where He Could Knjoy It.
I lived on what was formerly called
Slave island and occupy a frame house
which is raised from the ground, says
Donald Mellotte, a resident of Ceylon,
in the SL Louis Clole-I)emocraL The
damp condition of the ground makes
the island a popular place for snakes
and frogs, which penetrate the houses.
One morning while I sat in my room I
saw a frog leap through a crack in the
floor near a corner in the wall. A
second later a cobra snake pushed its
head through the crack and caugiit the
frog lefore it could pet away. When
the snake tried to withdraw his head
the swelling caused by the presence of
the frog in his neck rendered the effort
unsuccessful.
lie disgorged his prey, but held fast
to one leg. Three tiu.es he anvallowcd
the frog and three times had to give it
up. Finally his snakeship uppeurcd to
think, and ended by grabbing the frog's
leg, dragged it ouLiide and swallowed
it for good. I think that wus as smart
a snake as yon could find even in this
country.
THE TRAFFIC IN TITLES.
Addle-Pated Americans Who Ape English
A riii toe rat.
'Thousands of American young men.
of fair education and excellent possi
bilities, captivated by the pictures o.
English aristocratic life drawn in Eng
lish novels, are learning to despise the
simple, rational, useful life of the
worthy American citizen, and to court
consideration and vulgar popularity try
adopting the habits, and leading' the
useless lives of English lords. As in
usual in such cases," writes Thomas Da
vidson, in the Forum, 'the copy is a car
icature of the originaL The untitled
American lord proves usually to be a
vulgar creature, having to assert his
self-conferred lordship by all that is
most unattractive, most inhumane, and
most un-American and it is a good
deal in the English aristocrat. In
England aristocracy has no need to
display or to obtrude itself; in America
it can exist only by display and obtru
sion. For thus reason the American
would-be nobleman must necessarily
court attention and try to strike the
vulgar imagination by the mere acci
dentals of aristocracy, such as any
boorish Dives can command houses,
horses, turnouts, yachts, opera Ikixcs,
and the like. And the vulgar are im
pressed by such things, low down in
servile reverence before them, and do
their lest to make a similar display."
"If all the sacrifices which degener
ate American fathers and mothers have
made to buy titled husbands for their
daughters were recorded, they would
form a revelation so ignominious- that
it would not be believed; and, after
such a revelation, patriotic Americans
would hardly dare to look foreigners in
the face. But even without such a
revelat ion the conduct, of m nnr i
country women abroad, and especially in I
England, is enough to make everv self- !
respecting- American hidi? his Load for
shame."
