MYSTERY HOVERS OVER LAKE
Body of Water in Central Africa Has
Most Curious Effect on Minds
of Travelers.
Cold and gray are the waters which
Luke Tchad spreads over the lowlands
of central Africa. The traveler in
Africa finds the mystery of the dark
continent more haunting and unfath
omable here than in the baffling mazes
of the jungle or in the silent smile of
the sphinx. Heavy winds toss the
shallow waters about and whisper their
secrets through the reeds. But the
lake makes no answering confidences.
It stretches on and on, measuring its
mil■ s of surface in sweeping wave
lengths.
As fur ns the eye can see ahead are
the reeds and rushes reaching up
through the water in tangled masses.
Here and there the line of the gray ex
panse Is broken by slender islands
bearing li]> a few round-t->ppcd native
hut s, mil lined dimly against the sky
line. The effect is that of a painting
seen through gray glasses, reducing
the whole to a low key. It is in the
grayness that the lake's effect of mys
tery lies, the grayness that hovers
dull and cheerless over waving reeds.
The traveler gazing across Lake
Tchad for the first time feels file thrill
of discovery. The knowledge that he
Is not the first to stand upon the banks
does not dispel the feeling of entering
file most shut-off place in central
Africa.
