Every village Is connected with some other village, every tribe with the next tribe, every state with Its neigh- and therefore with all rest The explorer's business Is simply to select from network of tracks, keep a general direction and hold on his way. They are veritable foot- paths, never over a foot In breadth, beaten bard and netted beneath level of forest bed of centuries of native traffic. Like the roads of old Romans, these footpaths run straight on through everything, ridge and mountain and valley, never shying at obstacles, nor anywhere turning aside to breathe. Yet within this general are a singular eccentricity and an indirectness of detail. And the reason Is not far to seek. If a stone Is encountered, no native will ever think of removing It; he simply walks around It. It would never occur to that that stone was a ob- and that for the general weal be might displace It.
