In English East Africa is the rich
rst bed OF soda in the world. Engi
neers say that it contains 200000,00C
tons. The lake has a surface of more
than fifty square kilometers. During
the rainy season. which in this local
ity is short, its surface is covered with
a shallow layer OF water. When a
block of soda is taken out, another
forms, and the natives say that this
occurs so quickly that an equal
amount Of soda may be distracted for
a number OF years from the same
place.-Harper's Weekly.

FISK UNIVERSITY NOTES.
Trustees Of the School Encouraged by
Hearty Responses to Relief Fund.

Trustees Of the School Encouraged by
Hearty Responses to Relief Fund.
The trustees and friends Of Fisk uni
versity, Nashville, Tenn, are much en-
couraged over the prospects for reliev,
ing the institution from its present
financial embarrassment. At the re,
cent commencement exercises Of the
university it was announced that $780,.
600 had been subscribed, Of which
$4,000 is pledged by the general edu-
cation board, and toward the remain
ing $4,000 Of the fund $4,000 has
been pledged on condition that the
balance be Immediately secured.
The Alumni association, students and
faculty of the institution have given in
cash and pledges the sum Of $50, 600.
It is believed that such loyalty to the
school as this, such heroic giving as is
here manifested, will prompt others to
give generously and thus save to the
colored race one Of the best institutions
Of learning for its people anywhere In
the United States.
