A LETTER FROM GERMANY The Manufacturers Record is in receipt of a letter from a Berlin business house, calling attention to the fact that a member of the firm has just left Berlin on a visit to the United States, and that he will bring with him "a select and expensive set of samples of a great variety of articles, and that only such articles have been chosen as can be delivered promptly." Among the articles named are, dolls, wooden toys, Chirstmas tree decorations, mechanical toys, kinos, scissors, pocket and carving knives, razors, manicure sets, etc. This firm writes us that it 'represents first-class German and Vienna concerns, and that the member of this firm who is on the way to this country, will also have samples of fancy articles made of ivory, metal and leather, optical goods, etc., and u?muwmwa l mil aaLav I ClCIICI | 5 once, we logically | same conditions, it j icond time it happens ! ;tle would be learned I >s would be made.

DESERT OF SAHARA ONCE WAS THICKLY POPULATED Viewed in the light of history, it i may be that the late Jacques Lebaudy's dream to convert the desert of Sahara into a habitable kingdom was not the crazy ''den after all that j *1 1J l\? k*r flio . Qnhpr- I It WHS UCIICVCU tu uc uj vuv MWBrv>_, minded world, which regarded the eccentric Frenchman as a madman for assuming the title of king of Sahara. Charles de la Roinciere, librarian j of the National Library of France, has discovered documents which prove that the Sahara was at one [ time a thickly populated, highly [ prosperous region. "Hitherto," says M. de la Ron-1 ciere, "Africa has figured not at all in medieval history. It still was a j "dark continent" when Stanley and j Livingstone penetrated it less than j a century ago. Yet it would seem j that the Jews of the fiteer^th can- j tury had trading posts in nortlfwest! Africa and carried on a vast conv j merce with the natives from the I Sahara to the Atlantic and from I Algeria to the Niger. < "Antofiia Malfante, a Genoese j citizen, traversed this region and wrote his descriptive letters, in 1847, from Timbuktu and Tount. Timbuktu was the Chicago of the west African plains, and Touir; the> center of the camel caravan traf-j fic that exchanged the wheat and j barley of Egypt for the powdered j gold of Timbuktu and the precious j salt from Teghazza. "All the places visited by Mal-j fante were so well known to the i Jews of his time that they were; listed in a Catalan atlas prepared j three-quarters of a century earlierfor Charles P," according to M. j Poincare. "But shortly after Mai-' fante's visit the Jews were' driven ' out of Spain, and since the Jews' were the only ones in Europe who knew of the Nigeria country and; apparently permitted . no Christian 1 to enter there except Malfante, theI Jewish knowledge was lost to Europe. Not until Doctor / Gerhard JRohls began his explorations in Al-j geria and Morocco in 1860 did the; rest of the world gain from a con-j tact with the extensive regions of Malfante's travels." ?Philadelphia Public Ledger.

Thornhills cannot do this because their track is a circle ( O ) Others comment on the fact that in spite of tre; mendous overloads, Thornhill axles never break. The reason for this is plain. They use tough highland hickory?reinforced by a steel truss bar that extends the full length of the axle. Still others comment that the gears never get out of line. This unusual feature is due to one of their workmen's inventions. He designed a malleable front hound piate?bolted to the gears at eight points. It's literally a jacket of. iron that holds gears in line and insures light running for life. From hilly sections come reports that the old trouble of broken king bolts is unknown among owners of Thornhill wagons.
