called, was inserted in the front of
the stays and appears to have been

MILLIONS OF TELEPHONES

There are said to be 100000 tele-

and the amount of wire made use Of
totals 100000 miles. Some idea
of what this total means may be grasp
ed when we calculate that this length
of wire could be wrapped around the
earth 500 times, and that it would
make so separate lines from the earth
to the moon, but there would not be
half enough wire to reach from tina

An iron cannon ball was unearthed
by the greenkeepers on golf course
at Perth, few days ago. The men
were engaged on some excavations on
the course when they found the ball

LAKE OF PURE SODA

A lake of pure soda, Lake Magadi.
in East Africa, was recently visited
by an Italian scientist. The lake at
a distance appears to be of water. It's
surface is solid and dazzlingly white.
The lake comprises thirty square
miles, and at present a considerable
quantity of soda is daily taken from
it, while railway is under construc-
ton from the lake to the Uganda rail-
way. When the railway is completed
it is expected that Lake Magadi will
supply soda to the world.

voted to light opera. The theatre will
have a stock company, which will be
composed Of the best artists that money
can procure. and several operas will be
produced each season.
II is Mr.. Dippels intention to present
light opera I'm a manner worthy OF the
works themselves, TO have them sung by
artists who have real voices. and with a
chorus and orchestra to match. Such an
institution, Mr.. DIPPED feels, is needed I'm

many very charming works which I'm
Europe have been huge successes has
been due to their inadequate presenta-
ton.
Mr. Dlppel owns the American rights
to half a dozen German and Austrian
operettas which have never been pro-
duced in this country, and II is probable
that he will produce these at his new
theatre. He has recently been interested
with other managers in a number OF
productions. among them being The
