BAY RUM is manufactured In Dominica from
the dried leaves Of pimenta acls Bay rum is
procured by distillation. and tn in very sim
| pie manner. The leaves are lcked from the
| trees and then dried; in thisstate they are
placed in the retort. which is ten filed with
water and the process OF distillaon is carried
on. The vapor is then condense' in the usual
| way and forms what is known "bay oil,
| very small quantity of which is required for
| each puncheon of rum. The manufacture of
| bay rum is carried on at the nothern end of
Dominica, and proves very lucrtive business
to those engaged in it, as the plant are plenti-
| full in this district.
A UNIQUE COMBINATION OF mehanjcal and
nautical skill is the passenger car tansfer ferry
boat now operated in the Straits Mackinac.
II has an enormous capacity for CRYING cars,

and the number of its steam engineL 1t carries
twenty-four steam engines for performing the
various requirements of the busin,ss in hand

cold region, the big boat advancing toward the
ice and showing Its nose upon the edge, lifting
herself upon it. Then a screw propeller under
the overhanging bow performs the work of
sucking the weter from under the ice to enable
the boats weight to crush it down the more
easily. Thus the monster makes its way stead
lily through the worst ice of the semi polar win
tiers OF that region, climbing upon the ice
crushing it down and scattering it on either

The new coating for metals. based on the re-
markable adaptability of cotton seed to unite
| with lead, has, after a thorough test, been
found to give surprising results in resisting the
| effects of weather and water. Five liters of
cotton seed oil are placed in a metallic vessel
and ten Kilograms of lead are melted separately
| In an iron ladle. When the lead is molten,
which requires temperature of about 1876 Q II
| is poured gradually into the OIL and stirred
about so thoroughly that every particle of the
lead is subjected to the action of the oil The
| mixture is then allowed to cool. When the
| oil is poured off the lead is found at the
| bottom, but reduced in weight to S.5 Kilograms,
the remaining ~ Kilograms having been ab-
sorbed by the oil The residue at the bottom
| of the vessel is again submitted to the process
| Of heating and stirring, which is continued five
times after which the maximum impregnation

the oil has the appearance OF thick varnish, and
| is ready for application, either with a brush OF
sponge. The coating un1tes quickly and firmly
with any material. The first coat should be
allowed to dry fUrty-eight hours before the
second is administered.
THERE seems to be good deal of confusion
says the London Truth, in the minds of the
public and tho press as to what constitutes the
difference between an their presumptive" and
an heir apparent and one gentleman who
has been informed that there is no their pre-
sumptive'' to the throne at the present time
writes to inquire of me whether Prince George
of Wales is not entitled to that designation.
, should say certainly not. In point OF law, the
heir is the party who succeeds to an estate OF
dignity by the demise of the previous holder:
and a man can only have during his life an
heir apparent" or an "heir presumptive. !"
! The Prince OF Wales is now the heir apparent
TO the rome, and while he lives there can be no
| other peir. Prince George is the heir al parent
| to the Pr1ncedom OF Wales, and he is not her
to the throne at all, except in the loose
inaccurate n w oil
| persons who may by any possibility become
entitled are spoken of as heirs" The differ
| ence between an heir apparent and an heir pre-
sumptive Is that the heir apparent must succeed
il he survives the present holder of the dignity
while an heir presumptve, although the heir
at the moment is liable to have his right to the
| succession defeated by the birth Of another
heir. There cannot therefore, be at the same
time an heir apparent and an heir presumptive.
Should the Prince of Wales succeed to the throne
Prince George, if then living will become the
heir apparent to the throne. Should Prince
George succeed to throne before he has children,
the Duchess of Fife wocld be the heir pre-.
sumptive, her right to the succession being
always liable TO be defeated by the birth of 3
direct heir TO her brother.
ONE PERSON wears gloves as if they had Just
come from the shop. Every seam straight,
every button not only on, but fastened. Others
may be just as careful and have fault of
doubling up the hand. This stretches them
across the knuckles, and when the hand is
Strengthened there is a puff across the back.
Some persons wear gloves that look even the
first day they are tried on, as if some other per-
son had had the first wear and all the freshness
was gone. There are others who are never
known to wear glove that is fit to be seen.
Many person goes out with shabby, ripped,
soiled gloves. and tries to believe that no one
will notice. At one time some very young
ladies started the remark that soiled light
gloves were The style. For a time others fol
lowed what they supposed was the fashion but
