There have been statements asserting
an old personal friendship between
them, and, on the other hand. asser-
tions that they never met at all. The
truth lies between the two extremes.

LAKE DISAPPEARS.
Sgami. n Great Lake of South Africa,
No Longer on the Map.

4 great lake has vanished in South
Africa. Ngami is its name and a map
drawn in l50S shows that 1t was then
one of the most conspicuous features
OF the country. When Livingston,
however. visited il on July 2S. 1S49. he
found that its water was slowly disap-
pearing and that its banks We're be-
ing covered with rank vegetation To-
day thee is no water in the lake. its
place being occupied by a spacious mo-
rasS. which quickly swallows any one
who is so adventurous as to set foot
on it. Beneath this morass is still
some water, but in order to bring it TO
the surface. the ground must be bored
TO considerable depth. River Tauche
formerly flowed into this lake. but now
the tributaries that led TO the lake are
dry, and the river itself is also chOked
up thirty-twO klOmeters north of
Ngami. During the last ten or twelve
years the water has disappeared very
rapidly. and the reason apparently is
because the mouth OF the river was
gradually filed with the thousands or
small floats or RATS on which the ma
tiveS were wont 10 take their early
tribute of corn to DenOkanS. These
RATS We're left year after year and
travellers maintain that the river
found itself pOwerless against an OBJ
stacle like this. the result being that
the river and lake have become dry
ana that what was once fertile agricul-
tural region is now bleak and barren.
Formerly there were several villages
near the lake. but now these, too. have
vanished, and only a few cattle llraals
are to be seen. And it will be imp0s-
sible to restore the lake, says S. Par
rarge. who visited the place recently,
since in its present condition it would
require more water than the river
could give it, Lake Ngami is gone

Reef Sugar and Dounfrcs.

Last week the statement was made
in the house of commons that the Brit
ish government is considering the sug-
gestion that the Brussels beet sugar
conference be reassembled to see il
the European nations concerned can
reach an agreement on the question of
bounties. There have been several
conferences, which have been fruit
less. The government of nearly every
country which produces beet sugar has
said it was anxious TO get rid of the
bounty system. Not one of them has
been willing To stop the payment of
bountics unless all the others would
agree to do 50. That general agree
;nent it has been found impossible to
secure thus far. 1t is not likely that
