Nova Lisooa New Lisbon). in portu-

has lust made It's bow to the world as
the newest of colonial capitals. The
Angolian government has recently
moved from the low and unhealthy

the twentieth century railroads were ex-

mountains that parallel the coast. ana
following the lines Of steel, the develop

capital to the highlands is the finai
recognition that Angnla's future lies IN
this region with climate and resources
comparable 70 those Of Europe and tenn

aThe new capital lies 225 miles in
land, Just within the mountain range
that marks the seward rim of the pla-
teaai. 1t Is situated on the principal
railway Of Angola, which starts al the

establish an airdrome and hangers.

element of the population of the plateau

opening Of the upiands. too, has brought
a fresh immigration from Portugal
Under the more liberal recent ad~
ministration Angola seems TO have as
rosy a future as any part Of Central
Africa. The railway which passes
through the new capital and which is
being steadily extended eastward, will
be the most direct route from South
Central Africa to Europe. The road will
eventually tap the rich Katanga cop

Electric Sun Heats Room

Heat reflectors attached to the lower
part of the ceiling are used in a new
invention of an engineer in Denmark
that has proved efficient in auditoriums
and large rooms with high ceilings. As
the heat Is communicated directly to
persons instead of heating the air and
reducing its humidity, the new device Is
said TO be more healthful and economi-
cal than those of old methods. As soon
as the current is turned on occupants
are said TO feel an agreeable warmth
similar to that OF the sun on fresh
Spring day.
