On approaching boiling point seine of these kettles be- . 1!,11 to sing with quavering sound, which 1s a combination of different notes pe- culiar to leo form and size of the ket- tle. One of the arrangements for pro- ducing sound requires four pieces of at nearlyII t to lt, tobe glued sheet iron bottom of the kettle. Between the bot- tom and the plates is an air space. The plates are nearly In n plane and al- nin-t touch each other, leaving Thin silts 1 , it then!. \VIten the kettle Is full the I is under the water and some air ren4.l:its In the cell beiweeti the plates, but us it Is the part strongly heated by the fire the cell is filled with steam, which eecupes in bubbles through the Mils; the eater then creeps into the cell, to be converted immedinlely into steam. 'The bubbling of steam through the slits acts as exciter and the kettle emits sonorous notes, which may be likened to the millings of pine trees by a gentle breeze or the sound produ ed by stridu- lating Insects. To make the kettle sing loudly it is necessary to regulate the fire in such a way that the expulsion , f steam bubbles is in good accord with the natural period of vibration of the kettle, so that it is in sympathetic vi- bration. The coppers in Africa are copper mines. It is believed by some that the greatest copper industry in the world will be developed in the_Tanganyika region, where the properties are of great potential value, and may prove to Le one of the greatest factors in carrying civilization into the heart of Africa. Aluch time is r: quIred for developments. Because of the heavy speculation in the shares these may suffer before the pro- perties become dividend earning. The Bengueles railway cannot well be com- p:eled for five years or so, and even the Rhodesia railways extensions are now to require a couple of years ere they can reach the properly.

MAN IS e1O11.\LLY FREE. Moral freedom Is an inalienable right of man. Deny that neat has elle power to choose between good and evil, then it is useless to appeal to motives. Deny moral freedom and we may as well close our churches and abolish our courts and penitentiaries. Such denial desheiys both ,personal accountability and personal manhood. IL is for each man to say whether he will choose to be good or bad. Man is also under Inw. There are laws physical governing nran:5 bodily nature. These laws, phy- sical and spiritual, have their gruvital- ing centre in God. elan is under the law of the harvest.
