Pigs II, CloUer

In a district near Pretoria, pig
sites made of marble and buildings
cemented with pure white marble
are quite common. Practically
every kind of marble is found In
this district, which is about forty
square miles in extent.
The only reas,n that this valu-
able stone is not exploited is be-
cause of the lack of transport. The
railway does not extend near the
district. Stone equal to the best
Parian marble could be quarried
there if the problem of transport
could be solved.

Soda Lake

The Britis' empire possesses an
other curious and valuable lake be-
sides the pitch lake of Trinidad.
This is a vast natural deposit of
soda situated at Magadi, in Kenya
colony, east o. Lake Victoria Ny
ANA. This lake has an area of at
least fifty square miles and an un-
known depth. 1t is sc concentrated
as to contain crystals as well as
their mother liquor" and it looks
in consequence as if it were frozen.
No sooner has excavation taken
place than more soda is deposited
from saturated water from many
springs. Thus the supply seems in
Iexhaustible, and railway has been
built especially to serve it, refin-
cries have been established, and
something approaching 100000 tons
of soda are produced there annu-
ally.

Industry the Keystone

A book is being talked about

said in it about industry. No man

rich and prominent without it. Are

Famous Scholar

Gregor Mendel, who gave to sci
,ence the laws of heredity that have
made his name immortal, was a
monk in the monastery of Konigen-
kloster, in Brunn, Austria. He be-
gan his work as teacher in the
technical school at Brunn and contin-
ued his studies at the University Of
Vienna. The monastery garden was
his laboratory, where he observed
the cycles in reproduction in plants.
In 1866 he announced his discov-
Ieries before the Natural History So
lciety of Brunn, but received no rec
ognition. In all, he grew and stud
led 10000 plants, performing near
ily 300 crOss-fertilizations.

LONDON, April 5.The risk IN.
volved IN a nonstop flight over the
Atlantic from East 20 West at the

the effort worthwhile, in the opinion
Of sir Samuel Hoare, British secre-
tary of state for air.
Service flights made with the
object of creating speed records are
useful because they benefit avlatlon
generally, Sir Samuel believes.
while we must not underrate the
courage of those brave persons VINO
have lost their lives In Atlantic
flights, we must ask ourselves
whether these efforts to fly from
East to West are wise, declared
the British air official
Personally, / consider it unWlse
for any one to attempt to cross
the Atlantic from East to West until
We have machines of greater en-
durance at our disposal. With the
sole object Of warning those who
would follow others that have gore

Sir Samuel emphasized that ne

ment OF state that he represents
He does not favor government con-
troll OF Atlantic flights.
year by year we are making q

Samuel But now, as always, the
way OF human progress has Its
tragic side. We are marching along

Establishment OF 8 larger auto
mobile registration fee in place of
the present personal tax on auto

The study was continued last

fore the investigating subccmittee.

the registration price on the basis
Of the weight Of the car.
In the way. he said large
enough tax can be collected to
make the "difficult.to-collect.u DER.

There are also many Inequalities

He pointed out that large and
small theaters pay the same tax.
Eight theaters here cannot Be

not been approved by the Build

Representative Gibson expressed
the opinion that It is too laTe in the
