MANUFACTURE or SODA.
Result of French RevoIution-Dis-
covery of Soda Lake In Africa.


The European powers have pretty
well divided Africa between them, and
it looks quite civilized on an up to date
map, but apparently there are still big
tracts which are terra incognita, judg-
ing from the announcement that a
company is being formed to exploit a
great lake of soda discovered last year
in the East Africa Protectorate.
If, as it is said, it covers an area of
some 10000 square miles, it is by far
the biggest lake in Africa, exceeding
by 1900 square miles the area of the
Victoria NyanZa, and being capable of
accommodating the whole of Scotland
within it as an island, with at least
10, 900 square miles of soda to spare.
The manufacture of soda is one of
the most important of chemical indus
tries, and those engaged in 1t will
watch with interest the opening up of
this immense source of supply. Time
was when ocean plants supplied the
raw material of soda, and it was the
French Revolution which effected the
first great revolution in the making of
that necessary article of everyday use.
The national convention, seeing
France isolated from the rest Of the
world, entreated patriotic scientists to
save the country from a threatened
soda famine, and as a result Lebranc
invented his process for the manufac-
ture of soda from coal, lime. salt and
sulphuric acid.-Lundon Daily News.

The worst shot l ever knew was a

in the early nineties. Jimmie was lit
orally a miracle of naccuracy, yet
withal a most charming woodland
companion, and readily forgave him
the danger of sudden death for the
pleasure his society otherwise gave
me-
"On one occasion Jimmie shot a duck
at distance of quite 200 yards across
rough water, and actually cut off its
head, a bit of shooting that could new
er have been done by reliable marks
man or by Jimmie again. 1t was the
only time l ever knew him to hit any
thing by intent, and naturally he was
highly elated; so elated, in fact. as to
be quite Indifferent to truth. When
asked what part of the bird he had
aimed at, he looked at me brazenly and

where traditions of his marvellous

Root when he saved three miserable

The finest hukes of this eXtraordi-
nary marksman were eclipsed a year
or two later. however, by young man
from Baltimore, with whom l was
hunting in one of the widest and most

Dear SIR
I was much surprised this morning
to receive from you a cneck for $4l.SO
as a special dividend IN my 100000
policy which l hold in your company.
Last March l received my regular
dividend of SIT, and thought that was
liberal enough, and was perfectly sat-
isfied, but this addition of $4ISO, MAX
ing a total Of $21S.S0 this year, is GER
tainly most satisfactory, and confirms
my conviction that the Mutual Benefit
Is absolutely a mutual company In fact
as we'll as in name, and that | made
no mistake when l selected it nine
years ago.
At that time there were seven special
agents, representing as many different
companies, called to sell me insurance,
and after had listened to all of them
while they explained their different
policies, l selected the Mutual Benefit
without the aid of a special agent.
There are a few larger companies
than yours, that is, they have more in
surance on their books perhaps, but in
my judgment it would be hard to find
a more conservative, careful. better
managed company, or one that pro-
duces better results for it's policy
holders than the old reliable Mutual
Benefit of Newark, New Jersey.
| can heartily recommend 1t to any
one. and wish you unlimited success in
your solicitations.
Yours very truly,
