of Canterbury sits on the occasion Of

formerly the throne on which the old
kings of Kent were crowned. but It Is
generally agreed that 1t dates, at any
rate, from the commencement of the
Thirteenth century. It is composed
of three pieces Of Purbeck marble in
the design of Roman state chair
and stands in the chapel of the Cor

archbishop of Canterbury is en-
throned in this chair, thus signifying

hurl themselves from cliffs in this

have their own natural cemeteries in
the swamps or jungles, to which the
old ami weak crawl to die. Some of
these places are known to the natives
of Africa and are valuable 3ources

to adopt this practice of going to

Persia Has Salt Lake
Larger Than Dead Sea

Five thousand feet above sea level
in Persia is TO be found a huge, salty
inland lake. Ii is known as Urmla
and is 80 miles around, covering an
area of 1.600 square miles. and boasts
Of some sc islands. It Is among the
highest bodies of salt water ON the
globe.
Ninety miles long by some thirty
wide, It completely dwarfs the Dead
sea, something like mile and a
quarter lower in level, and contains
Il greater percentage of salts in solu-
ton.
Urmia is fed by a number of small
streams and is the catch basin for
considerable area, hut Us It has no
outlet whatever except evaporation
the salt that comes in stays In. Con
slant teaching by the streams brings
in continuous supply of salt. and
given enough, this results in a salt
lake, for while the evaporation takes
care of the water il must leave the
salt behind.
And this is what has happened TO
Urmia. For years and years 1t has
been becoming saltier and saltler,
probably exceeded in this respect
only by Karabugas. the salt water
annex o. the Caspian sea. Ne fish

During that period, the public at

They saw him fishing; entertaining
distinguished guests; handling appli-

Through the eyes of more than a
score of newspaper correspondents
many of whom have been with him
since his nomination at Kansas City,
the country at large was enabled to
peek at Mr.. Hoover during his long
est stay in one spot since he was
elected. The absence of rumors, the
fact that no one knows who will
make up the cabinet, the entire lack
of definite statements as to what will
be the initial steps of the new adj
ministration show that the new presi-
dent-to-be is not man to speak be-
