More than one hundred years ago this
was the estimate Of England's economic
power by the greatest German OF them
all. The lapse Of a century has con
frmed this material primacy. During
its progress Great Britain has become
the possessor Of ~one-quarter Of h earth's
surface. and has included under her do
minion one-quarter Of the worlds inhabi-
tants. Since the time of Napoleon she
has been essentially an Industrial empire.
The diversity as we'll as the volume Of
her activities has been unique in the his
tory Of commerce. She was the pioneer
inventor of the basic appliances Of mod
ern industry. BY developing her vast
stores Of coal and metal she obtained
the leverage for converting the raw ma
manifold values OF manufactured prod
ucts. The ownership Of one-half the
worlds mercantile marine facilitated
her trading in all markets. And the
possession OF these several factors Of
universal commerce constituted her the
worlds banker. gathering tribute from
every International transaction. This
long continued application Of human in
dustry has resulted in the accumula-
ton Of capital beyond precedent. and
these garnered resources have been in
vested throughout the globe. wherever
they could reproduce wealth for the
motherland. Even colossal wars have
been followed by emergenc into greater
prosperity and have served TO Illustrate
the magnitude and durability OF nnan-
cial Britain.
These prosperous conditions were
strongly In evidence at the outset OF the
present war. Her m was at the
highest level, having increased so per
cent. in ten years. She had in the same
period discharged 81. 25O 200, 900 of OBJ
legations. including ON issues made
for the prosecution OF the Boer war. Her
national estate includes 90. 900. 600, 900
Of dollars Of wealth In permanent form
. 1000. 0O0. 900 OF dollar OF investments
in foreign and colonial securities. 10000
100000 OF dollars annual income, and
hank deposits ranging near the $4,000
900. 900 mark. Her currency rests upon
the solid ground OF real and convertible
value. fortified by two-thirds OF the
worlds production of gold.

The immense deposits Of soda OF
German and British East Africa rank
with the most important known, and
form great lakes that are mentioned
as among the latest discovered world
wonders. Victor Cambon, French
engineer, notes that Lake Magadi,
with an area of about rs square miles,
is apparently a single mass OF solid
sesQuicarbonate of soda, almost chem
ically pure. An English engineer has
found that il is fed by many streams
OF water heavily charged with carbo-
nate of soda, indicating that the main
source of the soda is not yet revealed,
and has shown that this deposit ia
more than nine feet deep. and may
have a depth two or even ten times as
great This lake is east of Lake Vic
toria and about $50 miles from the
| Indian ocean. Across the line, in Ger
man East Africa, are even larger soda
lakes, and Lake Natron. one OF the
number, has an area greater than that
of Lake Geneva.

Imitation Fur.

starts with an animals fur. or an as
semblage of animal or vegetable fibers,
and these are immobilized by freezing
them in a block Of ice,
The ice is then sawed into slabs,
and a slab is made to undergo a sur
face melting SO as to partially free
the hair or fbers on one side; then a
suitable glue or cement is applied up
on this surface. A sheet Of flexible
material acting as the basis Of the
new makeup is then laid on, so that
the hairs adhere to it. and afterward
the whole is freed from the ice by
melting, leaving the hairs attached to
the support.
Rubber serves as a good basis fol
the glue or cement, and the support Is
also coated with the same, and this
rubber can then be yulcanized so as
TO give good adhesion and suppleness
