It ban long been a matter of specu In I Ion If the natural resources of equu (orlul Africa were worth development and the expense and lubor required to export theui, the New York 8uu observes. The earuvuu trade across the Suhara to Mediterranean ports re\ealed a great supply of Ivory and tropical products, and natlvea and travelers reported liiimeuse reservoirs of raw material. The explorations of Livingstone and Stanley, however, gave the world the first estimate of the uctuul \nliie of the resources of equatorial Africa. The breaking out of the World war caused temporary abandonment of many European pluns for the opening up of central Africa. Some of these plans have been revived within the last year. The British have built a railway from the east coast to aid the export of colion from the newly developed Fgitmlu cot ion fields. They liuvfe also built several links in the Cape to Cairo railroad in the central African lake legion. On the western coast the Belgians have constructed roads of 200 or :a? miles In length from their Atlantic ports Into tiie interior. One of these, the railway to Brazzaville on the Congo river, the French liuve been using. The French found, however, that the Belgian trafllc lias grown to such an extent that they were no longer able to depend upon tills smull railway. Their plan Is to build a road from the head of navigation on the Congo eastward, with brunch lines tapping the principal sources of native supplies. This road will place the development of the Congo region practically for the first time on a commercial basis. It is u pioneer venture, but at the same time It is a nuttnul outcome of con ditlons. With the present demand for tropical materials the world is not likely to let tills greatest source of supply remain undeveloped.

"Tills," reports the so clety, "bus now been done. St. Mark hus assumed a dress which will make a strong appeal to the Tibetans. They will be led from the attractive appearance to the contents, which are still more attractive, and we hope that many of them will be led to rftv Lord himself." The Willow Does A Vancouver writer attempts to answer the question, "Do animals weep?" Certain poets describe a stag as doing so, hut when pinned down they udmit they have never seen h stag, either weeping or laughing. Virgil describes a horse that wept behind its masters bier, but at a time long antedating that at which the writer II veil. In short, ' there Is no trustworthy evidence of the phenomenon, lite weeping of animals would be Improbable, If only because they do not comprehend vyhat human beings are. and what they are doing, well enon-rh to grieve about It.

More than a bil_ lien and a half dollars was spent in the United States for road building and maintenance during the fiscal year ended in June 11)25 according to j a study just completed by the Natioj nal Industrial Conference board. Whereas less than 20 years ago expenditures for roif[ building were still a m-glible item in governmental finance, uur present annual board bill amounts to more than one-sixth of the entire public budget, and is expected otiiy by our government ex penditures for education and protection. The development of the country's roads during the past quarter century closely reflects the revolution in the field of transporation brought about by the automobile and its rapidly extended adoption as a means of carrying goods as well as passengers. About 1,000,000 miles of highways huvy been built since 1004, when the total roadway milege in the United States amounted to 2,151,371), only a small proportion of which was surfaced, traffic consisting principally of short, distance market hauling and a few venturesome bicycles. During the next five years less than 50,000 additional miles of roadway were built, but between I'JOO and 1014 the advent of the automobile made itself felt, 250,000 miles of new roads being added. In the next seven years although they include Che war years when the state and local government budget were held down to the minimum, 500,000 miles of new roads were added. Perhaps more striking than the increase in total miHjjjge of roadways during this period was the change in the character of' the *iew roads, influenced primarily by the automobile traffic. Winding, often ungraded and rutted, albeit picturesque roads have rapidly been giving way to hard surfaced, wide and straight highways particularly during the past few year's. While in 1904, only slightly over 7 per cent of the total roadway mileage was graded and surfaced, and slightly over 10 per cent by 1914, more than 17 per cent of the much increased total mileage was graded and surfaced in 1925. The immense volume of long distance motor traffic that has developed during the past ten years, however, also 1ms increased the necessity for a \vc*U linkfd highway system, connect-1 irig important centres and fed by the! smaller market roads radiating from local centres into surrounding rural 1 territory. It is this phase of highway ' development which has caused marked! changes in the control and financing of road building and maintenance, shifting the burden gradually from the local governments to the state, and to an extent, even to the Federal government. While in 1904 more than 1M5 percent or nearly all of the current highway, revenue, which then amounted to only $75,965,995, was raised by local gov- j ernment, who also floated all of the highway bonds issued at that time, the state government in 1925 had become so active in the field of highway building and maintenance that they raised more than 37 per cent of all highway revenue, while the local governments raised only little over half of the total. The Federal government meanwhile had interested itself ttTThe extent of contributing about 10 per cent of the total. Nearly half or 49.5 per cent of all highway bonds floated in 1925 were issuer! by state governments. While the figures cited summarize the development of roadbu'.lding in the United States as a whole, wide variations in the development in different states and sections of the country are revealed by the hoard's report. The vast change in transportation methods and road utilization caused by long distance automo| bi|e traffic is again strikingly rcI fleeted in the great stimulus given I to highway construction in the more sparsely settled mountain and Western states during the past few years, I while the more densely populated | Eastern states, already well supplied with roads, have concentrated more on improving many older roads made j obsolete by the more systematicallylinked modern highway system demanded in this age of the automobile. Elimination of steep grades and [dangerous curves and railroad crossings is a moBt important part of the highway improvements. Two Dead and One Hurt 1 Augusta, July 9.?A. C.
