Africa of to-day . pe, calling at many intermediate portsas well as lines direct to London. There are, too, many coastwise lines. The first railway laid in SouthAfrica was that from The Point harbour, to Durban, two miles. There is now the standard gauge (3 ft. 6 in.)railway from Durban, via Johannesburg, Pretoria, Kim-berley, to Delagoa Bay (Lourenco Marques, Portuguese), eight hundred and sixty miles, with many branches andsubsidiary lines. There are, also, from Durban coast-lines north and south; the former into the Santa Luciacoalfields, the latter to Port Shepstone, with a branch.The diversity in soil and climate results in great varietyof agricultural products. There are, too, many livestockand horse-breeding ranches. The output from the lattercannot yet be very large, however, for it will be remem-bered that during the last Boer war the British armyofficers were compelled to go to all parts of the world, including America, to secure needed remounts.

The Town Hall, Durban, NatalKaffir-drawn jinrikisba in foreground SOUTH AFRICA 197 designated from 1898 to 1910, is now a part of the Natalprovince of the Union of South Africa. It is a regionof hills and mountain plateaus, with many shallowlagoons along the coast. The uplands are very high, rising to 4500 feet above sea-level. The area is 10, 450square miles; the population (in 1904) was about 230, 000only, including 1693 whites. The flora presents nothingsufficiently marked to call for special comment. Of thefauna it may be said that the Hon and elephant, witha goodly number of the other larger animals, reappear.Although there are two hundred and ten miles of sea-coast, there is no good harbour. There is fairly safeholding-ground at the mouth of the Tugela River, except when westerly winds blow; but this is nearlya mile off shore. The one railway, Durban-St. Lucia, has been already mentioned. Good roads are nowfound everywhere.
