THE MANUFACTURE OF SODA
Important Chemical Industry to Be
Exploited In East Africa
Protectorate.

The European powers have prett.
well divided Africa between them, and
1t looks quite civilized on an up-to-date
map, but apparently there are still big
tracts which are terra incognita,
Judging from the announcement that a
company is being formed to exploit
a great lake of soda discovered last
year In the East Africa Protectorate.
IL. as ia said, 1t covers an area of
some 10000 square miles, 1t is by far
the biggest lake in Africa, exceeding
by $4,000 square miles the area of the
Victoria Nyanza, and being capable
of accommodating the whole of Scot
land within 1t as an island, with at
least 10000 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 1t 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 threatened
soda famine. and as result Leblanc
invented his process for the manufac-
ture Of soda from coal. lime. salt and
sulphuric acid.--London Daily News.

to see Milly; thence on to the Widow
McBee, person rather vague as to
everything save a sense that she was
entitled always to have her own way.
1T ought to be the minister, not

Brant began without preamble as she
sat down in the second best McBee

too, and a church member, the idee

Bee demanded, bridling with delight.
She had married her only chance
his death had left her we'll endowed,
but so far she had so few beaux. the
imputation of coquetry was incense to
her starved vanity.
"I'll name no names, right out"
Mrs. Brant said automatically. "But
it's all over the neighborhood that
two OF the best chances In 1t are Just
plum off their heads on account OF
you. No, won't tell you who-but If
you ask my advice might say which

"You always would tease, Julia

Nobody needn't hang back over the

A New Yorker bought one Of those

ginia, principally on account OF the
glowing description of the real estate
agent and on information from friends.
When he went down to see his man

great pillars, the spacious porch, and
particularly the great hall running
from the front to the back Of the
house.
He inspected the place and came
back to New York.
