East Africa's Lake of Soda

In British East Africa there is a body
of water, known as Lake Magadi, which
is famous for it's vast deposits of soda.
Heretofore its shores have been visited
by few travellers. for it lies in the midst
of barren and waterless district, but
now that an English company has near
ly finished a railway to transport the
soda to the boats. way has been open
ed for those who desire to reach this
natural phenomenon, says the Wide
World Magazine.
Ordinarily this lake, according to a
writer in the London Field looks as
though it had been frozen and that
snow had fallen upon it, partly thawed
and again frozen. The temperature,
however, gives the lie to this appear
ance Of roughe2ed ice, for. the heat is
extreme and at midday Is almost un-
bearable.
The soda burns the feet even through
boot, and the sharp, projecting spikes,
which resemble hoar frost, will pierce
any except the thickest sole After the
rains there is a layer of water over
the greater part of the lake, which
turns lovely pink color. BY moon
light the scene is wierdly beautiful
The lake contains at least zoo, 000, 600
tons of crystalline substance, composed
almost equally of carbonate and bicar-
Donate OF soda. Surface and under
ground streams of saturated soda con-
tinually feed it. The present supply of
of soda is enormous, and as fast as it is
removed new surface. formed from

Natives have collected soda from the
same spot year after year without MAX
ing the slightest difference in the abun-
dance of the supply. The company in
tends to remove at least 1000 tons
each year.

accurate cutoff and inlet valves that are
found on the Tygard engine. This means
economy. 1t is said, and will provide bet
ter and quicker service from an engine.
That the Tltantic disaster could have
been avoided, and that travel over a
steam railroad at the rate of 200 miles
an hour can be brought to degree of
safety at least equal to the present speed
regulations, are two of the claims in be-
half of the Tygard engine. The ma
chimes are erected upon a flexible plat
form, with the boiler and exhaust con-
nection so arranged as to render the flex-
ibility even greater. One of them, 10
horsepower of the steam type, has been
run at a top speed of 5000 revolutions per
minute without trace of vibration.
The machines may be thrown from 5000
revolutions per minute into reverse with
out any bad results. The inventor claims.
in fact, that the reverse acts as good
air brake, and would absolutely prevent
collisions between railroad trains.
One of the particular advantages claim
ed for his engine by the inventor is that
they need no foundation. He goes further
and states that one of his motors could
be suspended from the flag pole ON the
Woolworth building. in New York, and,
connected with an electric generator,
could supply current for a searchlight,
without causing the flag pole to vibrate.
The new engines are fool proof" ac-
cordng to the inventor, and will not need
the care of experienced engineers. A
man having no knowledge of machinery
can be taught to operate one of the new
models in a few moments.
Tygard has been in communication with
the Emperor of Germany for some time
relative to the sale of his engines co..
use in German airships. and has a num-
Der of letters which he has received from
German officials on the subject.
The inventor is in Washington to take
the matter up with Secretary Daniels. II :
intends to bring a number of the ma
chimes to Washington, where they will be
open to all tests which anyone wishes
to make with them.

''COlLC'L FFet-H
BY Stewart Edward White. Illustrated by

Stewart Edward Whites new novel,
Cold, is one of the most delightful
books of the season
1t is a romance of California and the
delrious days of 49. when the thrill and
the lust for the yellow metal went like
an electric current round the world. Like
a monster yellow candle burning tawny

goldfields lured human moths from all the

Mr.. White is born story teller and
here he handles a great theme The tale
is crisp and swift from the first page.
alive with the hurrying fever of the gold
days. fr,
A point of particular interest in connec-
ton with this book is that it has never
appeared in serial form and 1t therefore
goes before the public as absolutely new
and fresh material-a matter of some
rarity these days for a writer of Mr.
Whites popularity. N
The volume Is Illustrated by Thomas
Fogarty, and those Uho are fond of Mr..
Whites work will find much that is in
teresting in the little essay by Eugene f..
Saxton that Is published with 1t. Mr.
Saxton explains Whites views on the
novel without love story in it, and
quotes him to this effect: THE sex ele-
ment is important, but other elements of
the great drama are as important-self-
preservation, for example, is very SIM
pie and even more important instinct than
that of the propagation of the race. Prop
erly presented, these other elements are
of as much interest to the great public
as the relation of the sexes"
The Panama canal, which opened the
past month, is a doctor-inspected, dis
infectant-drenched isthmus which, by the
decimals of its death rate is one of the
worlds health resorts. But the isthmus
of 40 was a very different matter. Mr.
White describes it in Cold Panama
at the height of the feverish rush to the
west, crowded with thousands of halt
erased men wholly unused to tropical life.

Revolutionary changes in engines of

according to James W. Tygard of New

neers. If only one of the several dis

claims for his engine can be accomplished.
experts admit that. Tygard will have
sNlved the problems which have cost for
tunes and years of labor.
Mr., Tygard has inventions on all classes
of engines, from steam 10 gasoline, and
claims that he has motor which will
conquer the air with little difficulty, says
the Washington Post.
"The present aero engines" he says
"are pared down beyond the limit of re-
liability in order to enable them, to lift
their own weight and the additional load
which they carry The Tygard invention,
by reason of the double action principle,
obtains the working effect Of a six-cylin-
der motor from two climbers, and allows
the weight thus saved to be added to
the engines strength"
The aero engine which the inventor
