Big African Lake

Lake Superior is in danger of losing Its distinction of being the largest fresh water lake in the world.
African explorers begin to think that Lake Victoria Nyanza is larger.
Superior covers 31,200 square miles, and Nyanza has been credited with about 30,000; but recent explorations have discovered a hitherto unknown bay on its southern side which so increases its known area as to make it a question whether it is not larger than Superior.
Fuller explanations and more careful surveys must be made, however, before a decision can be reached.
