Lieutenant Cameron's African Journey.The first object of Lieutenant Cam-

eron's expedition, it will be remembered,was to reach and ;tssist the lamentedLivingstone. Starting from Zanzibar inMarch, 1S73, he did not reach Unyan-yemb- e

the A nib trading-pos- t, lyingnearly between the Victoria Nyanza andLake Tanganyika until August. Here,while prostrated by fever, he receivedthe news of Livingstone's death and theapproach of his corpse, guarded byChumah and Wainwright. Two daysafter this sad eavarn had left for Zanzi-bar, Cameron set out for Ujiji to savethe papers which ttie great explorer hadleft there, and, if possible, to continuethe latter's work of discovery. He describes the first view of Lake Tangan-yika from the brink of the central table-land, as something marvelous ; tho vastblue lake appeared to be sky and themountain beyond it floating-cloud- s. Inspile of severe attacks of fever andophthalmia, he completed the entiiecircumnavigation of the lake in Feb-ruary, 1S74. He found ninety-si- x riversflowing into it, besides torrents andsprings, and only one river the Luku-g- a,

on the western side flowing out.Mr. Stanley and Dr. Livingstone hadpreviously established the fact that therewas no northern outlet The Lukugawas discovered at a point about twenty-fiv- e

miles south of that to which Cajntain Speke crossed, in February, 1STS.

The beginning of Cameron's explora-tion was thus signalized by the settle-ment of a very important geographical-problem- .

He appeara to have followedthe Lukuga but a short distance westward, and then to have taken Living-stone's route to the great Lualaba River.This stream he traced to a point but afew leagues beyond that reached by hispredecessor, when the hostility of a native tribe barred his advance. BuUhesaw the stream leave its northern courseCltltl trill II ltVfjlrui-1- , tJ. 1X v.Wvlof its elevation above the sea level con-

clusively shows that it can have no con-

nection with the Nile. The drainage ofLake Tanganyika into the Lualaba, andthe identity of that river with the Con-

go, are, therefore, not absolutely proven,but they have reached a degree of proba-

bility which comes very near to cer-

tainty.After being defeated In his attempt to

follow the Lualaba, Cameron turnedsouthwestward through an unknownregion, of which he gives us, as yet, butscanty reports. He represents it :is aland of wonderful beauty and fruitf ill-

ness, with one of the grandest river andlake systems in the world. There ;uemeadows where the grass grows to theheight of twelve feet, and almost pre-

vents travel. He there discovered an-

other river, called the Lolame, flowingthrough a chain of lakes, which SirHenry Rawlinson considers to be thetrue Lualaba. Beyond this he cameupon a new political power in the center of Africa the great chief Kosango,whose authority is acknowledgedthroughout a vast extent of country,named Urua. At the capital of thischief he remained four months, andthen started for the western coast. Hiscourse led him along the watershed between the affluents of the Congo andZambesi Rivers, and the greater part ofit was over entirely new ground. Hecrossed Livingstone's route from Loan-d-a

to the latter river, and finally reachedthe territory known to the Portuguesetraders. At Benguela he concluded thisremarkable journey of 3,000 miles onfoot, during which, in spite of disease,baffled toil, and unceasing dangers, hetook nearly 5,000 observations of lati-tude, longitude, and elevation. Theseare now being computed at the Green-

wich Observatory, and they are said tobe elaborate and accurate beyond thosefurnished by any previous explorer.

Sir Henry Rawlinson followed Lieu-tenant Cameron in a highly compli-mentary speech, at the close of whiclhe announced that the society's goldmedal for the year had been bestowedon the young explorer. It is also an-

nounced that the latter will soon be pro-moted to the rank of captain in the Roy-al Navy. For an Englishman of 32 thisis distinguished yet wholly deservedsuccess, and we do not doubt that it willkeep alive an enthusiasm in which hu-manity has an interest keener than thatof science. The complete explorationof Africa is the extinction of the slavetrade and there is no other way to thatend. N. Y. Tribune.

Between the years 1S20 and 1S70, Eu-ropean immigration to the number of7,319,023 arrived in this country. Classi-fied by races we find that we have un-

eggs, about the size of hen's eggs.Seven of the eggs were sterile, theothers haingeach a young boa within.One chipped the shell as soon as it washud, but died immediately. The remain-der jterLshed in the v.

A Egyptian Dlarcrr.Some A nil digging among the ruins

of the gi eat Temple of Karnac. in Jan.bust, came ujon a sandstone cist buriediu the debris, inside of which was thesculptured figure of a female hippopota-mus in green basalt The monument,including the slab, is 3 feet high, and isadmirably carved and tolishcd. A longinscription in hieroglyphics runs alongthe back, and another is cut on the slabin front of the figure. The inscriptionscontain the names of Psaminctiehus I.and his Queen and daughter, and also ofa hitherto unknown Iving.

Vitality r MreU.Among the lotanical notes in the

Naturalist, there are some interestingfacts bearing uion the question of thevitality of seeds. The authority for thedata is Prof. Ernst, of Caracas, who re-

lates that, in lsG7, the market occupyingthe I'laza Bolivar was removed by orderof the Government, and the ground de-

voted to the purposes of a park. Tocarry out the plan, six feet of the soilwas taken off, leaving a fresh burfaceexjtosed to the air. Numbers of weedsimmediately sprang from this uncoveredmerable plants oFlhe BrotefoaTfriiner-vata-.

a species growing only in a localitysouth of the plaza, whence it was judgedimixssible that seeds could be borne tothe spot where they had so quicklygerminated. Tho Professor believesthat the setnls of these plants had re-

mained dormant for thirty years underthe old market, and that, on being sub-jected to moisture, warmth, and atmos-

phere, they revealed their unimpairedvitality.

The second case in joint fell underthe notice of the same observer. Duringa twelve years" study of the llora in theregion round alout Caracas, Prof. Ernsthad not once met with the Shepherd'Purse (Capsella bursa-pastoris- ). Buttwo years ago, a jwrtion of the garden ofthe monastery was graded for the erec-

tion of a new building. By so doing, aconsiderable depth of soil was removed,and, in the dense growth of weeds thatvery soon covered the fresh surface,there were thousands of specimens ofthe Shepherd's Purse. Prof. Ernst con-

cludes that the seeds of these plant hadremained latent iu the soil for an un-

known period.

Aatroaoaay Ita Memrlmg Crap.The recent investigations of astrono-

mers through means of the solarspectrum and the excellent telescopesnow in use show that the atmosphere ofour planet is very sensibly influenced bywhat is going on among our neighboringplanets, and the sun of the solar system.Prof. Langley, of Alleghany Observatory,has lately published some results of hissteady observations of the solar atmos-

phere, which, he states, is a thin stratumwhich cuts off one-ha- lf the heat whichotherwise would reach us. From thisit appears that the existence of livingbeings upon the earth is directly de-

pendent upon the sun's atmosphere, forshould that envelope be increased twenty-fiv- e

per cent in thickness, the meansurface of our globe would, it is estima-ted, be reduced 100 degrees Fahrenheitin temperature. It has been suggestedthat the glacial epoch through whichtheearth passed many ages ago might harebeen due to a fluctuation in the solaratmosphere.

Whatever has been may be againunder similar conditions. "Who can tellthe immense influence to vegetation bya change in the sun's atmosphere or anextra amount of electric or heated raysthat may be suddenly or gradually castupon our earth? Doubtless the yarietyof seasons, and the consequent bearingsupon our crops come from Tariations inthe sun's clouds or planetary conjunc-tions, that some day will be traced, bythe aid of science, so as to explain manyphenomena now inexplicable to us.

Great works are performed, not bystrength, but by perseverance. Yonderpalace was raised by single stones, yetyou see its height and spaciousness. Hethat shall walk with vigor three hoursa day will pass, in seven years, a spaceequal to the circumference of the globe.
