DRIFT.
New that Henry M. (Stanley, the great Af.
rlcae explorer, Is stsiut te start en his lectur
ing tour through our country, fresh attention
will be aroused le thu book In which he no
graphically describes The C'omje, nml the
lAwntlinp e it Free Unle. It Is a sumptu
ous work, lnsued about a year age In two
large octave volumes, In Harper A Ilrothers'

Tut; very first time, hewever, that I read
this work of (Stanley I felt that, an the beya
any, he waa " putting It en tee thick 1" One
mnnnt read the preloceoven without seeing
that thn author Is an extravagant enthusiast ;
and unless carried away by his enthusiasm,
one seen has theoenvlctlnu forced upon him
that ;u(t .VaMri, the " I Iroaker of Hecks,"
consciously or unconsciously sometimes
draws "the long Ism." Hut what will you
de alieut It T The people who tiave been at
any of the places he se glowingly describes,
Btid who could tell whother his " story of
work aud exploration " Is accurate or net, are
se few that they could be counted en the An An
eora of one's hand. And even thoeo few are
nearly nil connected with the same enter
prise In whose oinpley (Stanley himself waa,
aud whose Interest It Is te have his story et
the marvelous wealth aud gigantic optKirtu eptKirtu

What could anyone de, therefore, no matter
hew skeptical he might 1m, but blindly bo be

Wki.i,, no, that was net quite all. One
could read the book critically and net fall
neon te find certain reasons le strengthen

ing the great explorer n accuracy, and even
his veracity.
Takk, for Instance, his msp, and with its

basin and the plaes he actually visited, ac
cording te his own ao-eunL Yeu will at
ence notice that his real explorations cover
comparatively only a very narrow strip of
torrltery along tbe banks of the great river,
with a few short oxcurslens up a few of Its
tributaries. On the map of Central Africa
his entire ceurse would be represonted by
only a narrow Una. Outalde of this line no
did net explore, he himself saw nothing, he
reany Knows nanny anyming. letnis vol
umes presume te give a full and circumstan
tial description of nearly the whole vast re re ro
glen of Central Africa! He gives tables of
Kpulatlen for the whole based upon strange
calculations made from iiersenal observation
of comparatively only a little strip of the
country. He gees up a few tributaries for a
couple of miles, and tlien confidently gives
lis the number of miles of navigable streams
and the exlent of shoru-llne of the entlre
river system of Central Africa. He een
makes out tables of natural products for the
whole district, et tlielr annual yield and com

banks of the Cenga Mere than this, he con
structs for tin, net a oust I e, but several facto
ries and a railway, "In the air," and ex
pands his calculations most wondrously. In
Vel. 1 1, en pages JWI and 370, he says : 'Hup 'Hup

pounds sterling per annum, exclusive of pas

Nl UK i.i the milkmaid who counted her
chickens before tbey were hatched was prac
tical compared with Mr. .Stanley. Hhe at
least had her et-tts te reckon from ; but he
has none. Ills whole calculation is based en
" supposing a few factories were built," and
" Jiidglug from what is twing done en the
Ixiwer Cenga" Hut he nowhere tells us
what u ticmg tlune en the Iewer Conge. He
JudKes from an utterly unknown quantity.
Hostile, he does net really knew whether
the products of the re -Inn are anything Pke
what he represent. In fact they are net, as
I shall show In a minute.
TitKst: are only a few samples el Mr. Stan
ley's "optimism." His enthusiasm may ac
count for It. Hut hew can we account for his
Hat self-contradictions? KiithusUsm will
net oxcilse them.
AiteilNO for the need of a railway from
Vlvl tohtanley Peel te carry the " 1J71, tens
per day " of Alrlca's troasure from the Inte
rior te the mouth of the Conge, he declares
" It would of ceurse be a surface railway, the
extraordinary outlay being only for a few
bridges." Accordingly " the expense of con
struction would only amount te
OlO.OeO pounds sterling. The gross revenue
of 3U0.1IU0 ieunda sterling per annum for
such an outlay Is surely large!" It surely
is ' Ne wonder he exclaims that " as a
mere speculation there is nothing In the
whole wide world ettering se remunerative
an investment of capital as this small rail
way." Hefere we Invest In this " specula
tion," hewever, let us examine a little uiore
closely the route of this proposed " surface
railway."
In Vel. I, where Mr. (Stanley was net try
ing te convince us of the need of a railway,
se much ns of his own indomitable courage,
energy and enterprise, he describes hew
only he was enabled te make a mere wagon
read ever a few miles of the reute this " sur
face railway " would liave te take. He says
(Vel. 1, p. -20), quoting from his report te
the Comite . " We have made three bridges,
lllled up a score of ravines aud gullies at the
crossings, graded six hills, cut through two
thick forests et hard weed, and made a clear
read thirty eight miles letig." Peer pros
pects ler u " surface railway " v lth only " a
tew bridges " there ! (Still lower en this
further ceurse which the read would have te
take, described thus (Vel II, p. all) : " In
the neighborhood of Hern the mountainous
region commeiices with numberless lines or
groups of Inferior hills which are yet at
tached te one another, and rise gradually
afier an lntinlte number of undulatlenH te
the height of 'J.300 feet above the level of the
sea " Again and agalu he refers with
auia.sment te "the doep furrows which
tlme has inscribed in thocanen of the Conge,
and the complicated system of profound
gergiu trend lug towards It Irem the south
ward and northward " (II, p. 'JtrD), All this
region the pro(esed railway would have te
traverse, and iet, forsooth, " It would of
course be a surface railway, the extraordinary
outlay being only for a few bridges 1" On
thu whole 1 think I'll net be lu a hurry te
Invest in this wonderful " speculation."
PiMtiiAi's considerations and doubts simi
