WORK OF NOTED EXPLORER
Livingstone's Geographical Survey

Preaching In Africa,.
Livingstone's Held of geographical
endeavor was the rerinn nt the im,a
lakes of equatorial Africa. His object
waa primarily to extend the operations
of the London Missionary society, tin- '
der whose direction he was working. ""
ur. Livingstone never wholly relin
quished his missionary character, al
though In 1857 he resigned from tha
society and In his later years In Africa
his geographical explorations amount-
ea 10 mucn more than his preaching
and bis medical service. His last'
work, after partlna- from Stan 1mv In
March, 1872, was directed toward tho
solution of the Nile problem. After
promising reconnolssancea he essayed
such a detailed aurvey of the basing
of thoX,ualaba and tha ri.n..i. .1....
as he hoped might establish the wa- -tershed
between the river aystems of
me uongo and the Nile. Before his
work was finished , he died., JMa, 1, -1873,
at Tahltambo'a village on thi -
shore of Lake Bangweolo. . The deter '
mlnatlon of the fountain-head of tha
Nile was effected onlv after ainin. .rt
the reaults of the observations of "
many explorers, and this Investigation
was not completed until long after -Livingstone's
time. This fountain-head '
