Vanished Saharan River.

August Chevalier, French explorer
and geographer, believes that Lake
Tchad represents what was formerly
the backwater of great river which
flowed northward across the Sahara
and emptied into the Mediterranean
sea. Neolithic relics indicate, he says.
the former existence of prosperous
communities where desert conditions
now prevail. At the present time Lake
Tchad shows occasional changes of
level. Since 1897 it's waters have con-
tinued to fall but sometimes, after
several years of unusual rainfall. it
spreads beyond its ordinary bed. In
1908 Lake Fittri dried up, and the hip
popotami which had inhabited it were
compelled to so elsewhere.-Youth's

A teacher who would be successful
needs the endowment of the mother
heart. One reason why so many teach
ers break down and lose their grip, and
find in mid-career that they are fast
growing old, is that they have no real
regard for children. They cannot get in
touch with them. The mother-heart is
lacking. AS the great majority of teach
ers are women, and as it is woman's
province to train the next generation.
this is the greatest of misfortunes. The
successful teachers of the world, of both
sexes. have had the rare gift of caring
for children and youth as individuals. OF
drawing them out, of enabling them to
do and be their best. Without this gift
no man can attain success as a peda-
gogue, however fine he be as scholar and
disciplinarian, and certainly no woman.
