There are Many cases on record in
which an opportune dream has saved
a life. Writing of the late Admiral Kep-
pel, Lord Witham Seymour says
"Harry's life was saved by a dream
when In Sir Harry Jone's camp at Bom-
ersund. A brother officer (I think it was
amerorr Wrottesley, who was himself
killed two days after) said one morning
that he bad, in his sleep. seen a shell
explode in the middle of the tent where
_Keppel was sleeping. _We cleared out,
and mire enough, the next Morning a
Walston shell lighted lust on what had
been the site of the tent." And, to give
but one more example of this kind, a

Among the numerous eases of men
whose death, or that of a friend, has
been foretold in a drestin, the following
are good eamples. On February 1911i,
1901, Mr. Henry Gay, of Abertillery,
Montnoirthehire. had a very vivtd dream
which impreesed hlm strongly. Ile was
standing the cOmpany of "a radient
being" in far-speeading cornfield, and
his companion, plucking four ripe earn
of tom, handed them to him with the
words,
"THESE ARE FOR THEE."
Mr. Gay was „so troubled by his dreern
that he cortsulted the Rev. D. Collier, of
Abertthery, anold it, and told him
that he wan eitavincen he had but four
mere years to live. No arguments could
shake this conviction, and, strangely
enottgb, Mr.sGay ectuelly died on the
fourth tanilverriary of hie remarkable
dream,

BRITISH AND GERMAN POSTS.
The .British anskthe Germans Control
the entire priest line, , which is divided
nearly equelly between them. All
travellers seem to agree that there is a
marked. difference between the appeer-
ance of tee Britisli gnd the German
posts. The terIttsh are so busy with. the
larger aspects of taming the wildertiese
of nature, building, weaeves arkft

little time to less vital matters, which,
however 'contribute to" comfort and
„order. The result, that their streets
are deplorably dirty, their best build-
ings are likely to be nothing more than
galvanized iron shacks, and their towns,
in fact, reeemble in many witys a Wes-
tern Mining camp in its early stages.
At the railway terminus on the lake the
ettangersees a well befit railway Eta,
tion, and a few houses large enough to
be comfortable are in process Of build-
ing. The rest oe the town, including the
shops, looks like galvanized iron W-
racks. '
The same may be said of their sta-
tions along the railroad. including
Nairobi, about midway . on the lioe,
Which is certain to have a fine future,
as it is the natural market for a large
area of rich agricultural land, and white
men mut their families are now settling
among these healthful highlands. It is
said that there Is not a railway restaur-
ant along the line where the traveller
succeeds in appeasing his hunger, and
Many passengers carry their food sup-
plies for the journey from the coast.
The Germans, on the other hand, keep
each post under military government.
Streets are regularly laid out, excellent
rtads lead into the settlements,
TREES ARE PLANTED,
tomfortable houses . for the white in-
habitants are erected, a parklike aspect
is given to the publio square and the

There is another contrast , between
the British and the Germans in inner
Africa which is perhaps not so favor-
able to the latter. A while ago a Get,
man military force started from one of
the lake stations on punitive expedi-
tion against the section of the Massa!
that llves in German territory. One of
the officers expressed the °Melon that
the only way to solve the ehisard prob-
lem was to wipe these natiVes out en-
tirely. Too many of the Germans seem
to hold the same opinion where they
have trotible with the natives.
The British, on Me other hand,
rounded ep their unruly Massal subjects
on two reservations with a large amount
of greeAng and agricultural land. Tine

Red Tape and Ingenuity in Federal
Deparnnent at Washington.
The following story, illustrative of
the red tape that used to preveil In cer-
tain departments of the Federal Govern-
ment nt Washington, is told by an
official who began his service there in
the humble capacity of a clerk :--
" "Shortly after entering upon the die -
charge of my duties," Raid the Meld',
"I witnessed a scene in the division to
which I had been assigned that aston-
ished me to a degree. One day an

THE SODA LAKES OF MEXICO.

ery Of this -kind wee made in Meeice.
Under the blazing iMn pi the desert,
says el, correspondent; suerounded by
barren sand dunes, lie vast lakes of cry-
stals of carbonate of soda, to all appear-
ances great masses Of snow and ice,
but in reality a substance born which
will be made millions of tons ot soap
and millions of glass panes,
, At only one place in -the world is ne-
utral soda found under conditions which

at that place lettist be shipped several
htindred miles y rail and many tons
of water must be evaporated hy coal
to obtain a ton Of the product.
The Mexican lakes aro within. three
thoutand yards of the sea and the tierce
sun and heat ot the desert attend to the
evaporation. The world's consumption
is very large, arresunting to several hue-
dred thousand tons annually, and at
present nearly all of it is manufactured
from common salt with the Use of ex-
pensive machinery. • At Adair Bay,
when the temperature is right, the water
of the lake crystallizes into pure carbon-
ate of soda, nature doing what man re-
quires expensive machinery and vast
amounts of coal to do.
The Mexican Government declines to
dispose of these lakes to any one, Presi-
dent Diaz believeing that they may be-
come sources of enormous incoine to the
country, just as the nitrate of soda beds
are to Chile. What it may mean to
the soap and glass industry of Mexico
may be judged when it is stated that at
present manufactured soda, one of the
principal iterne of Cost, sells for 875 per
ton in parts of that country,
The same article from Adeir Bay may
br delivered ler less than one-third of
that price. An estimate of an engineer
is to the effect that there is enough soda
on top of the ground to produce one
hundred tons daily for sayenty-Ilve
years.

Writer Declares Every Man to be Born
at Mercy ot .1111 Ancestry.
vve all have our moments of imagin-
ing ourselves independent charactess,
says Arthur Brisbane, in •Londbn Daily
Mali. We take pride 'in our indepen-
dence, und aro never•LO foolish as when
trying to Prove how independent we
are.
Every man, to begin with, is born
absolutely at the mercy of his ancestry.
You have not a thing en you, and you
never wilt have a thing in you, that you
did net inherit from some one of the
thOusand and thousands of investors,
of •whottrare7 Iteired- itletii in'
your complex make-up.
You may develop marvellously the
faculties which they gave you. But
you are de,pendent on those who brought
you into tile world, and upon those back
of them.
'1'lle ICaMr, sober, Industrious, honest,
with all the virtues rolled up within
him, has not a fragment of one chance
in ten thousand billions of equalling the
achievements of a tenth -rate white man
whose ancestral start was better.
After birth you start *with dependence
upon your ancestors, and atter youth
you ate dependent on your education.
If your mind has the right formation,
if your brain is provided with the deep
convolutions, and good luck has sup-
plied you with a good education in
youth, the whole thing is dependent on
your liver, your stomach or some other
part ot your internal machinery.
Very often your success Ls dependent
on your temper and toot. These depend
on your digestion. Digestion, of course,
depends on your cook, and the cook's
attention to busitless may depend on the
politeness of the policeman in front of
the house.
You may feel absolutely independent
and think you are Independent, when.
as a mutter of 'fact, you tire miserably
