A LAKE OF SODA There is, in British East Africa. a lake with a thin covering of water 'and a solid deposit of soda under- meath. The soda deposit is nine feet thick at least. it covers 30 square miles. and the total deposit is estimated at 200.000.0000 tons. A promising feature of the lake is its habit of slowly filling uv allholes with soda deposited from the. strong Hiquors so that the same spots mav be reworked many times. A com- pany capitalized at $5,000,000 was formed in 1910 to exploit the lake and began to build a 100-mile rail- way to reach the Uganda Railway. Difficulties due to climate and topo- graphy of the country were very great. but this branch was finally dompleted in May 1913. and now the doda can be taken directly to tide- water at Kilindi Harbor. The Ugan- da Railroad will have to make spec- ial preparations to handle the heavy traffic from the lake. as it is al- ready badly congested. The com- pany expects to ship 1000 tons daily and has arranged to build a plant at '} the Take to prepare the soda proper- ly for the market. The lake now looks like a block of pink marble colored by some impurities. probably tion. which must be removed. It may be that the large amount of water chemically combined in the solid crystals will be removed by dry- ing in order to save freight rates. ee THE CLAY. BELT Toronto Weekly Sun While the farms of Old Ontario are depopulated why does the Govern ment of Ontario urge the develop- ment of the clay belt? There is a dearth of reliable official information which might be easily removed. Pro- fessor Fernow has condemned a great deal of the land. Mr. Wood. amin- ing engineer. writes to the press that peas. oats. buckwheat and wheat will not ripen. but may be eut part- ly ripe and used for feed. He repeats that it will cost sixty to a hundred dollars an acre to clear the land. He adds that the farms of the north are mostly for sale and that allctear ing is.for speculation and not for settlement. It.is suggested from an- other source that although the clay belt is in or south of the latitude of the wheat fields of the' West grains de not ripen because. owing. to the proximity of Hudson 'Bay* perhaps there is less sunlight and more -hum- idity. Will the growing periods be prolonged by drainage and by gener- al clearing of the forest. as in some of the country on this side of the Hudson Bay divide.? As there has been ample time for investigation. the jack of public knowledge is inexcus- able. aint Hs Helm--At Hesson. on April 29. to Mr and Mrs. Ed, Helm a son. | Jones--At Mornington. on May 7th. to Mr.and Mrs. Oliver Jones. a sop | Morrow--At Wellesley. on May &th to Mr. and Mrs. Howard Morrow, a son.
