For a Trang-sahara Railway.

[From the Engineering Magazine.1
In view of the growing strength Of
England in Africa the construction of
a railway crossing the desert of Sa-
of Algeria and TuniS with the fertile
country about Lake Tchad is urged as
political and military necessity. There
IS now railway about 200 kllOmeterS
O50 mileS) long from the port of SfaX,
on the Mediterranean, to Gafsa, in the
interior of TuniS, where a valuable de-
post of phosphate rock is found from
Whc1h annual shipments of over 300,-
600 tons are now made. The general
conditions of railway construction in
this country are well known and it may
be assumed without serious error that
the prolongation of the Slax- Gafsa rail-
way across the desert could be made at
about the same cost per mile as that
portion already built The climate is
about the same, water is found at fire.
quent intervals and the topography does
not greatly differ from that of the ex-
listing railway It may, therefore, be
estimated that the entire 1000 kilO-
meters q ,240 miles) could be completed
at the cost of $4,000 francs per kilo-
meter, including rolling stock, or a total
of 100000, 600 francs 1924, O00, 00O), and,
even if this amount be increased by
one-half to provide for unforeseen con-
tingencies it is yet far within the esti-
mate of twenty years ago, which reach
ed the enormous sum of over SOO,000,O00
francs.
Apart from the strategica1 value of
such a railway there is some prObabili-
ty that it's construction would have the
effect of developing materially the
natural resources of the country
through which it would pass. AS a mat
ter of fact the real value of this portion
of Africa is but imperfectly known. 1t
is but a short time since the phosphate
deposits of Algeria began to be work
ed, and even now, with proper trans
pOrtatiOn facilities, the present out
put of these beds could readily be in
creased to over 100000 tons per year.
For some time there has been reason
to believe that there exist in the inter-
iOr of Sahara important deposits of
nitrates, which only need accessibility
to rival those of Chill, and there are
salt deposits already known to be
awaiting development on the Soudan
frontier.
These sources of traffic, however, are
almost entirely in prospect; there is ev-
cry reason to assume that the primary
reason for the construction Of a railway
across the desert is that of extending
French power in Africa and meeting
the British colonial expansion in that
continent by anticipating her in rail-
way construction.
1t is especially interesting to the en-
gineer to note that in the attacks which
are being made by nearly all the ma
lions of Europe for permanent territOr-
ial hold in Africa engineering work is
depended upon as a more certain and
enduring form of attack than military
power and that the railway, canal and
harbOr are the real weapons in the con-
quest of a continent.

Reception at Lincoln School.

The reception given at Lincoln school
Wednesday afternoon and evening IN
order that the patrons and friends OF
the school might see what IS oelhg done
in the way of decoration, was very
largely attended.
The affair was in charge of Miss
Lucy Kfngman and the teachers of the
school, all of whom deserve much cred1I
for the manner in which they conducted
it.
The small hall through which the
guests entered was converted INTO
delightful cosy corner where they might
rest and visit with their friends. There
We're rugs on the floor, the doors were
hung with flags and other draperies
and there We're a number of pretty
cOuches piled with pillows
In the room of Mr.. Field, the prin-
cipal, was an art display loaned by the
Moore Book and Stationery company,
which attracted much attention. The
front wall was draped with large nag
and palms and cut flowers added
pretty home-like air to the scene.
Occupying important positions in the
front of the room was a picture of the
Madonna of the Chair, presented by the
Nignette club, the Roman Forum, by
the Chaldean club and one given by the
knights and Ladies or security. 8feS-
entatiOn speeches were made by Mrs.
John E. Lord, Mrs. Robert Steele and
Miss Kingman. The meeting was pre-
sided over by Superintendent David
son, who told the interesting little
legend of the Madonna Of the Chair.
In the afternoon tea and waters were
served from daintily set table and in
the evening coffee and waters were
served. Music was served by the fol-
lowing members of the High School or
chestra: Miss Amabel Tice, Misses
Frances and Alice Coffin, Miss Bessie
Davidson, Charles Lewis, David Cos
sett and Elden Tice. The following as
sisted: Mrs. A. K. Rodgers, Mrs. G. K.

In the upstairs rooms which are pref
tily papered were arranged the work
of the pupils in drawing and writing.
Also a picture of st. Marks given by
Mrs. Horace Hall and water color pic
lures of Whittier and LongfelIow given
by F. G. Willard.
These receptions are regular social
affairs and do more to awaken interest
in this work than any other plan that
| might be devised. The merchants and
florists also show a great interest in the
work; a number of them loaned flags,
| draperies and palms for the occasion,
while some of the grOcers donated tea,
| coffee and waters.

PRISONER WENT CRAZY.
Inmate of County Jail Mace Things
lively For His Keepers.

Mike Christianson. a prisoner in the
county Jail, who has been sentenced to
a year in the penitentiary for burglary,
and who has been held until Sheriff
Cook could take him to Lansing, went
crazy yesterday afternoon. and made
things lively around the Jail for a time.
It took the combined efforts of Jailer
Carl Lawson, Assistant JaiIer Pasker
and Henry SpradIey, a trusty, to over
come him and get him into a cell.
GhriStianSOn had been brought into a
corridor inside the upper cage to be
vaccinated. He fought against the OPP
GRAFTON, but finally submitted, and af-
ter it was over he tainted. When he
came to- he was wild. He picked up
a bench he had been lying on and drove
the other prisoners into their cells. The
others yelled for Jailer Lawson to come
and lock their cell doors so that the
crazy man could not get at them. Then,
Lawson, PaSker and SpTadley entered
the corridor and it was several minutes
before the maniac was overcome and
placed in a cell by himself. He has
been 'off' ever since.
JailOr Lawson says he has noticed
that Christensen has had spells"
when he has not seemed right mentally
ever since he has been confined in the
county jail, and Lawson has been
watching for an outbreak from him.
1t is probable that ChristiansOn will
be taken to the asylum now instead OF
to the penitentiary, as the penitentiary
is not prepared to treat insane per-
sons.
Christianson pleaded guilty about

dence of F.. A. Kiene, near Valencia

"Jack's Alive"

TFrom the Philadelphia RecOrd.J
There is new and exciting game in
town which is in great vogue among
those who are fond Of gathering around
a table and drinking a few glasses of
beer for the sake of sOciability. The
new sport is called Jacks Alive and
it can be participated in by any num-
Der that can draw up to the table COM
fortably. When all is ready to begin
each player holds in his left hand
stein of beer. An ordinary wooden
match is lighted and is passed from
hand to hand. each player repeating
the words distinctly, Jacks alive" as
the fiery ember is passed around the
circle. During this process the left
hand must cling to the stein of beer
while the right one is used to pass the
burning match along. The words rip
pie around the board with increased
activity as the glow dies down toward
the unburned end The excitement in
creases as the flame gets DINNER, and
those who have handed Jack still alive
to a neighbor heave a sigh of relief in
the certainty that Jack win not sur
ViVe another journey around the circle.
Finally the ember dies and the unlucky
holder is almost raised from his seat
by the exultant shout from the rest of
the crowd: Jacks dead The beer is
on the one in whose hand the fire dies.
