Oil.NT tic Sca.

One of the most curious sights at
sea is that OF m Outbound ship.
Every up.to.date ship carries OIL
tanks, the quantity varying with the
size of tho vessel. For instance,
steamer of $50 tons burden carries on
an average sixty gallons OF oil: This
oil is the refuse discarded by the Oil
refining factories. and often consists
Of y mixture OF whale oil, petroleum
and vegetable oil. It costs Hbout two,
pence gallon, and q large sized vessel
can be we'll supplied for twenty sh'll'
inge.
The oil is slowed in spacious zinc
tanks. arranged IN the hold of the ship
to act rs ballast. Each tank contains
fifty gallons Of oil, and an ingenious
mechanical tap arrangement connects
the tank with the outside of the vessel.
If o dangerous gale arises, and the
shin becomes unmanageoble and like]?
to founder, the sluices are opened and
twenty gallons or more OF the OIL Is
allowed to escape into the sen.
The effect is instantaneous. How
ever stormy the sea may be, the YES
sol lies in gently heavins m'l'pond
There is no further danger OF founder

DEVELOPMENT OF TROPICAL
AFRICA.

Sir Francis Scott, speaking at a meet
ing Of the Royal Colonial Institute,
London, at which Sir G. Baden-Powell,
NJ. P, read a paper on The Develop
ment Of Tropical Africa" urged the eX-
pediency of having African settlements
and seats Of government in the interior
"All the coast settlements, whether on
the east or west, were unhealthy, but
the interior was quite healthy, and the
more they got into the interior the bet
ter it would be, both for the Africans
and for themselves. In his paper. Sir
G. BadenPowell said that tropical
Africa was populated by at least S0,00O,-
600 natives, 5O,OOO,OOO of whom were un-
der the Union Jack, but had for ages
been dominated and degraded by vic
ious systems of government and super
stition. To save these natives from
themselves was no mean or ignoble
task"

THE MAN WITH THE IRON MASK.

Of the puzzles Of history. and TO the pres

not been solved. He was a prisoner of

was confined in the Bastile died in No
vember 1908 ard was buried IN the ceme-
terry of 81. Pauis, whose register refers 10
the prisoner under the name of Marchiali.
Many articles have been written about the
unknown, and there are nearly as many
theories of his identity as there are his
torans. The more romantic believe him
10 be a twin brother of Louis XIV. an
nlegiJimate son Of Anne Of Austria, older
than Louis XIV. the Duke Of Mantu. etc.
The mask he wore was in reality made OF
black velvet The court of France took
every pains TO keep his identity a secret
and this accounts for the mystery which
still surrounds him and which probably
will never be explained.
