Uplifting the indian.

Uncle Sans campaign for moral
uplift" among his vast army of Indian
wards has been chiefly significant be-
cause Of the almost total suppression
of the sale and use of "firewater"
among the braves and the consequent
diminution of warlike outbreaks on
the reservations. Washington officials
evinced much interest in the report to
Assistant Indian Commissioner Abb
bolt that seven hundred Navajo In
dams went recently to their white
father" superintendent and, surrend-
ering an enormous stock of gambling
paraphernalia, enrolled their names
alongside those of the simple life"
opponents. These gambling devices OF
varied sorts and descriptions were
shipped here and have been placed
on exhibition with the immense collec.
ton of relics and trophies at the In
dian bureau.

Causes for tuberculosis.

Walter Sands Mills takes up the
question OF tuberculosis as a disease
that does not attack healthy lungs in
persons not predisposed, and is often
recovered from, as is shown by au.
topsies. The causes that predispose
to it aside from heredity are whatever
reduce the vital force and resistance.
The greatest ravages of the disease
occur in the prime of life, when all
the energies are in use for the strug-
gle for existence. Domestic service
predisposes women more than any
other cause; inhalation of mineral
and metallic dust, breathing de-
vitalized air, other lung diseases,
traumatism to the lungs, bad habits of
living and unhygienic workshops all
predispose to It, Prevention Of the
disease consists in keeping up the
vitality Of children and protecting
them against nfection.-Medical Rec.

IMMENSE DEPOSITS OF SODA
Shallow Lake in African Valley,
Twenty Miles in Extent, Gov.
ers Much Wealth.

Further details of the journey just
concluded by Mr.. Fred Shelford, the
Well-known engineer, in connection
with the projected railway to be con
structed from the Uganda railway to-
Lake Magadi. have been received.
This wonderful lake, which is only
reached after long and difflcult jour
ney over uninhabited and waterless
country. is described as follows by
MIR. Shelford:
Lake Magadi is picturesquely stu
ated amid weird surroundings at the
bottom of valley 5000 feet deep. On
one side are mountains 5000 feet
above sea level, and on another a
range having an altitude of 5000 feet.
There is no sign of human life, but
on and about the lake are immense
numbers of fiamingo.
From the surrounding mountains
the lake, which is ten miles long by
Two to three miles in breadth, looks
like an ordinary sheet of water of
somewhat reddish hue. On reaching
the shores, however, we found that
the water was only few inches deep
and covered hard surface looking ex-
actly like pink marble. This is an i'm.
mense deposit of soda, which was
bored and found to extend to consid-
cradle depth, thus indicating an area
of at least 20 miles OF solid soda.
The heat upon the soda lake was
very great"
