C. Niekers, British metallurgist. made a series of experi ments. in the course of which iron was melted in a crucible and alloyed with aluminium. It was desired to learn the effect of adding a small percentage of zinc, A two ounce bit was cautiously tossed upon the molten mass, when after a few seconds a series of muffled explosions ensued. and the mixture in the crucihle was shot upward toward the roof Of the shop giving a beautiful pyrotechnie display. the iron producing stars and the zinc yielding dazzling blue lights. while flakes ef molten met al glowed between This continued un til the erucibe was emptied New o: leans Times Democrat

incidents Of Its Exploration by an
 English Officer.
 Some queer adventures and many hardships were encountered by Lieu tenant Boyd Alexander in his expiora ration of the broad but shallow and reedy waters of Lake Chad, in Africa. Of one incident he writes: By now we found that our provisions had run out. so 10 procure food We frantieaily waded up 10 our waists in mud after duck. which before so strange an in yssion immediately took refuge in flight. We therefore had to pay our attention to the flock. of kittiwake guIs which often circled about us. and II was not long before we had spittel and roasted some before the fire in our boat The following evening, however. our plight became serious, for car tridges were almost finished. and we were obliged to make for rats. which abound on the islands, digging them out of their holes and making humble pie of them. and this is how We livel for another six days"
 Great parts of Lake Chad average four feet deep even where fully tWen ty miles wide Sometimes the reeds are enormously thick and high. through which the travellers had to force their way. The next cutting. six miles in length. occupied two days. During these operatio we were obliged fe spend the nights huddled up in the boats Sleep was out of the question We were attacked by hordes of mos quitoes, and we prayed for the morn Ing to come. Many Of the men. mad dened with pain. preferred 10 sit up to their necks in water all night. oh served three species of mosquito one as large as a small fly. very dark and with transparent body. which grew to enormous proportions when distend ed with blood. In spite Of all these mosquitoes never experienced day < fever when on the lake"
 Of another experience he writes @On the outward journey We came upon I large Buduma fishing fleet for the first time At first they mistook Us for other Budumas. whom they considered As easy prey, Tor II IS tnelf adhlt h plunder one another when they get the chance Accordingly they closed un ready for attack But soon they req ized their mistake, and the ta bIes Wee turned Before we could get up ta them-and the crews of the boats wee straining every nerye-many Of the boats burst out into flames and the Budumas. swimming like otters under meath the water. disappeared into t.,e reeds The banks were piled ap Wit dried fish and hidden underneata straw mats We found four slave ho. : who were the victims Of traffic carried on between the Budumas and Tubus
