Fats, oils, clothes, milk for babies

KING HAD SOME IMAGINATION
Wonderful Story Of "WaterIess ssap
Would Have Done Credit to
Baron Munchausen.

Prester John as a title was like
the Egyptian Pharaoh and belonged to
whole lines of king who reigned in
the East and in Ethiopia in particular.
One writer of long ago sets Abyssinia
as the kingdom of Prester John. Abys
sinia used to be called middle India. /"
1t is related that before the year
1241 a letter was addressed by Prester
John to Manuel Commenus, emperor
of COnstantinOple, saying that in Pres.
ter Johns country there is ''water-
less sea-" which none have ever
crossed. 1t consists Of tumbIing bill.
lows of sand, never at rest, and con.
tains fish of most excellent flavor.
Three days journey from the coast
of the sand sea is a mountain whence
rolls down "waterless river" con-
sisting of small stones, which crumble
into sand when they reach the sea.
Whoever Prester John may have
been, if he invented that story, he
certainly possessed a vivid imagina-
tion and considerable originality.
