CURIOUS LAKE OF SODA

Lake Magadi in British East
Africa is famous for it's vast depos-
its of soda. Until recently few
people have seen its shores, for it
lies in >the midst of barren and
waterless district but the railway
that was started few years ago by
an English company opens the way
for travellers to this curious natural
phenomenon. A recent visitor de-
scribes it in the London Field:
Ordinarily it looks as if it had
frozen and as if snow had then
fallen upon it, partially thawed
and frozen again. The tempera-
ture gives the lie to this appear
ance Of roughened ice, for the heat
is extreme and at midday almost
unbearble. The soda burns the feet
even through boot, snd the sharp
projecting spikes, which resemble
hoar frost, will pierce any except
the thickest sole. After the rains
there is layer of water over the
greater part Of the lake which
turns lovely pink color. BY moon
light the scene is weirdly beautiful.
The lake contains at least 2OO,.
900, 900 tons of crystalline SUBJ
stance, composed almost equally Of
carbonate and bicagbonate of soda.
Surface and underground streams
of saturated soda liquors coutinu-
ally feed it. The present supply
of soda is enormous and as fast as
it is removed a new surface formed
from the mother liquid" brneath
replaces it. Natives have collect
ed soda from the same spot year
after year without making the
slightest difference in the abundance
of the supply.

A vision Of the new man, the
man of the future, is described by
Miss Elizabeth Aldrich, one Of

as saying Of the new man among
other things:
The character of mans jokes
will change. The jokes will be
clean. and they will assail no class.
There will be no mother-in-law
joke. no old-maid joke. Women
will in fact, cease to be the butt
of all mans jokes.

when he speaks of women. He will
permit US to drop our wings. Here
tofore we have been in his speech
winged creatures. We have heen,
angels to him at one end of the
scale and birds or chickens
squads, geese, wrens' or hens
according to his humor. All those
wings, thank heaven, he will allow
US to shed forever.
almost everyone will marry.
Hand in hand, as true partners in
life. they will walk the path Of
mutual understanding. Men will
no longer puzzle women nor wo-
men battle men, for with recognized
equality will come understanding
and with understanding candor.
Custom will no longer place prem
ium upon lies between men and wo-
men.
"The two sexes will take counsel
together, instead of striving for
dominion, one by force, the other
by subtleties and deceit.
Hitherto we have had much
of the mother ideal. There will be
much more of the father ideal in
the home. Many girls made SER
ious mistakes because they have
not had the benefit of the mans
point Of view. Father will be more
than the household cash register.
There will be a new chivalry,
but it will not be based on ex-
ploitation of the SEX"

COMPROMISE ON TAXES

After a session that lasted until
after 10 o'clock last night during
which many fiery arguments were
INDUCED in and the issues involved
in the subject of livestock assess.
ments in Nevada discussed in every
angle, .. compro mise was rea he'd
between the tax commission and
the livestock owners, the system Of
taxation, valuation and assessment
agreed upon to apply only to the
ensuing year.
The commission agreed to allow
the stOckmen OF the state to turn
in their full number of cattle on
March l from which full number
the assessors are to make a deduc-
tion of 25 per cent to cover losses
incident to the cattle business dur
ing the wear. Cattle under one
year old shall not be taxed. The
valuation of a head shall be the
same as that established by the
state board of assessors at its meet
ing last January, $40 head for
cattle in the northern counties and
SIS head in a few excepted coun-
ties in the southern part of the
state, all cattle to be assessed as
stock cattle. The same policy will
apply to sheep except that all sheep
including lambs, shall be counted,
the price a head to be So. In both
cases migratory bands are to be ex-
cluded, it being understood that
they shall be assessed wherever and
whenever they are found during
the year.
After arguing all afternoon yes
terday without ccming to an agree
nent the stockmen held an execu-
tive meeting over which George
Russell, Sr.. of Elko, presided and
drew up a proposition that was sub
United to the tax commissioners in
the evening. Russell, backed by
John Henderson of Elko, argued all
afternoon for the old system of
valuation under which stockowners
were allowed to put in to the as
SCISSOR a less number of stock than
they actually owned. The commits
sion insisted on complete return
being given by the stockowners de-
claring that in any case any equali-
cation was necessary it should be
made on the value a head and not
on the number of head.
The tax commissioners assert
that under the old system of taxing
livestock from so to 80 per cent of
the total number of head in the
state escaped assessment each year.

How the Name 0riginated-.Briei
History of the 'sGotden Weed"
The name tobacco is said to have
been derived from Tobago, one Of
the West India Islands. While the
Chinese are said to have used tobac-
co many centuries before, it was
first introduced into England in
1890 by Sir Walter Raleigh, who
learned to smoke the weed" from
the American Indians. with whom,
besides being a luxury, it was SYM
bolic of peace to pass around a light
ed pipe from one to another; the
pipe of peace" was also used in
confirming a pact or treaty.
1t is related that when Sir Walter
Raleigh returned to England from
America his servant one day came
unexpectedly upon him smoking and
seeing the smoke issuing from his
mouth and nose, dashed a pitcher of
water in his face, thinking his master
was on fire!
An interesting story is told of Raj
eigh's wager with Queen Elizabeth
that he could determine the exact
weight of smoke contained in a cigar
he was about to smoke. The bet
having been made, Raleigh weighed
the cigar, then carefully saving the
ashes and weighing them,he deduct
ed the weight of the ashes from that
of the original cigar and announced
the remainder to be the weight of
the smoke. Sir Walter won the bet.
The United States produces more
tobacco than any other country in
the world, the last available report
showing. in round numbers, an ag-
gregate of 700, 900. 900 pounds, which
sold for $70,0O0.0O0.
In South Carolina, and especially
in Williamsburg county, tobacco
growing is what might be termed an
infant industry, but it is a very
promising infant.
