The excerpt recalls Charles Dudley Warner’s reflections on Alexandria’s bustling street life and the Nile voyage. It paints a vivid scene of traders, donkeys, and shadoofs, and contrasts new impressions with ancient history, ending with remarks on the Congo and Nile basins and their potential for civilization.
Lieut Cameron traced from Zanzibar to the Congo mouth covering about two thousand miles in a straight line. He first reached Lake Tanganyika and discovered a large western flowing stream from the lake’s southern part, joining the Lualaba above Livingstone’s noted point. This river system forms a vast network in Central Africa, whose source and course Livingstone could not determine.
The London papers announce the completion and opening for public traffic on April 5 of the East London Railway. A large section runs under water from Liverpool Street to the Thames, via Shadwell and Whitechapel. The six mile line costs about £3.2 million and links several lines, including the London and Brighton. The Thames tunnel section, begun 1824 and opened 1843, was built with a shield and jack screws, and Brunel’s design enables freight and passenger use.
A colossal London safe, set in a deep vault near central London, is described as perhaps the world’s largest of its kind. The underground chamber is 80 feet long and six feet thick brick walls house a three foot thick blue brick safe with four ton doors and hydraulic locking. The vault yielded Roman coins and metal relics during excavation. The item blends a major engineering feat with a local weather note from Boulder News about early spring growth and garden time.
The piece asserts Colorado wool is best suited to coarse grades for domestics and carpets, with native common and Mexican ewes as key sources, predicting steady demand and prices around twenty five cents per pound.
