mcrSau. the remote Hungarian viii
lagc of Mikofalva has arranged Mag
var passion plays. The first per-

To Honor Congo Martyr

A tablet is to be placed in one of
the wards of a London hospital in
honor of the Congo chief, Mandobi,
who volunteered, when sleeping sick
ness appeared among his tribe, to go
To England and submit to all the ex-
periments necessary to determine the
cause of this malady and to discover
a remedy. For several months he
permitted himself to be bled daily in
order to supply material for the mi
croscopists. At length the germ Of
the sleeping sickness was discovered:
but almost simultaneously the VOL

$3.50 miles in diameter surrounded
by a stony shell $50 miles in thick

The riddle Of Baikal. in Central
Asia is similar to that of Lake Tan
ganyilla, in Central Africa. In both
cases a large body of fresh water re-
mote from the ocean contains organ
isms apparently marine. Both lakes,
again, contain a very large number of
species not found elsewhere. Lake
Bailial contains a few mollusca of ap-
parantly marine forms. One of the
most remarkable features of the lake
perhaps is that. although it is frozen
over for about five months in the
year, the animal life is extremely
abundant and varied. This may be
partly accounted for by the existence
of hot springs.
