Atlautu, (in., Nov. 7. "Barber im*!?" signs have been painted on all South ern Hallway crossing gates In a further effort to attract the attention of reck less automobile drivers and so prevent accidents at crossings. Kxperlenee has shown that many au tomobile drivers dash across railway trucks without regording the "Stop, liook, and Listen" signs uiul some of thein have even crashed through gates provided for the protection of cross ings. The new device painted on crossing gates Is lu accordance with the stand ard rejx>mmended l>y the* American Railway Association and consists of alternate black and white stripes, eight Inches wide, running at an angle of forty-five degress, which gives the fa miliar "barber pole" effect. It Is hoped that by making this de vice the standard for all crossing gates it. will become recognized as a danger sign, so as to command tho resi>eot of even the most heedless driver of a motor car.

Two "Armchair" Scientists, Who Never Set Foot In tht Dark Continent. Worked Out tho Problem of Where tho Gr??t Stream Entered the 8e?. The Niger Is i ho third greatest river in Africa anil tbo eleventh I" rauk In tho World A ceutury ago nobody hud found whore tho Nlg^r river reaohed tho sea. and as tho mystery grew the thoory became popular that the Kongo or Zaire river was tho lowor part of the Niger. The nu??t Impreaslvo faet known about tho Kongo was that tho majestic flood It poured Into tho Atlantic fresh ouod tho sea several mllos from the shore. It certainly was a great river. Mung?> Park, the splendid and in ttvptd young Scotch man who Inaugu rated the modern era of African ex ploration. was largely responsible for the thoory that tho Kongo might be the outlet of the Niger, llo was enthusi astic over the Idea, lie wrote that if the theory turned out to be true the fact. In n commercial sense, would be second In importance only to the dls covery of the Cape of Good Hope. Tho German geographer Relchard became interestoil In tho problem of the Niger, and, gathering all. data available with regard to the waters In the equatorial regions of West At rica, he came to the conclusion that the Niger must find Its way to the ocean through the streams of a dolta and that this dolta was probably on the const of the bight of Benin, where a large number of small streams were known to enter tho Atlantic. The emlneiit geographer hit the uall on tho head. His theory told t^o truth The problem was solved In an afro, chair, but the English gentlemen, who at that time were organizing the Tuck ey_ (Kongo* expedition, laughed to., scorn the German hypothesis, declared that Relehard's deductions were "en titled to very little attention" and that his data were "wholly gratuitous. * James McQueen was another arm chair Investigator, but the books he rend were hundreds of black slaves taken to the West indies from the Nl-V ger river region. Ho had read Muugo Park's fascinating story of his Jour "rieydowir~iYrcNlg^ miles and thought it very strange that no explorer hail ever found where the great river reached tho sea. McQueen began to question every native of the Jower Niger ho could llnd and kept ac cumulating this testimony for Qvo years before ho was ready to publish his results. " , _ In 1821. wheu he had solved the puz zle to his satisfaction, be Issued a book in which he announced as a fact and not as a theory that the Niger reached the sea through a wide spreading delta In the region of the "oil rivers. As h fact, tho delta front Is exactly where McQueen said It was.. The oil rivers are the delta streams of the Niger. McQueen's book made more fun for the learned geographers than any comic newspaper. The Idea that au obscure "trader in the West indies should dream that his confabs with ignorant slaves bad solved the Niger mystery was a . most amusing Joke. McQueen lived to see the day when his Joke was recognized as a solemn geo graphical fact The Niger delta, one of the largest In the world, stretches 250 miles along tfie coasi Most of ita streams are small, and, skirting the coast one can hardly observe them, so completely are they hidden In the dense region of mangrove swamps. Explorers soon found that they _ might struggle for weeks up a stream only to prove it a blind alley, for a peculiarity of the Niger is (that not a few independent rivers form between tthe delta branch es and have no connections with the Niger itself. Most of the delta Is a network, difficult to enter or to retreat f,AJl nature is hideous there-tbe, brown waters lazily coursing, the ev i odors of the slime and ooze, the repul aive animal life from crocodile to pythons, lnrking in the shadow for their, prey, and a choice collection of insect plagues, including the anopheles mosouito, with its poisonona sting. These terrible conditions, persisting for about forty miles Inland, are then succeeded by solid earth, noble trees and sweet air. bnt t the swamp rerfOB of the lower delta la one of the most forbidding Parts of Africa Bichard Lander at -last, .In 1830.
