pose of keeping alive the interest in

ferior classes. The same right is
claimed for it as for the English, and
perhaps the fact that it Is maintained
so well in the midst of the English
speaking masses is due to the Eistedd-

OYSTER FISHING IN FUTURE.
Submarine Boats WIN Make the Bivaive
More Accessible.

The submarine boat will revolution
ize the oyster industry. When in Ches-
apeake bay cruising the old Argonaut
frequently settled down on oyster beds
and, with the permission of the owners,
procured all the oysters desired by
reaching down through the sea door.
The new Argonaut can employ this
method of gathering oysters, rising to
the surface when her diving-room Is
full, or send out divers, who can place
the oysters collected in buckets or re-
ceptacles, which those on the surface
can haul up. When bays and rivers
are frozen over and oystermen cannot
ply their trade the Argonant can go
under the ice. Fishing can also be
carried on easily on the bottom with
nets. for the fish have no fear OF the
object they evidently consider a whale,
and swim from every direction toward
the glare of the electric lights shining
through the ports. Sponge fishing will
engage the attention of the first sue
cessful submarine voyagers. Good
sponges are becoming dearer. for the
supply in shallow water is running
short. The divers cannot go deeper
than twenty-five feet, and the best
PONCE are found in deep water. To
this deep water the Argonaut will go

EVOLUTION oF wALLPAPER.

IL Took Time to Introduce 1t and Bring
It to IGs Present Perfection.
From the Paper Trade: While va
rious kinds of printed fabrics were
known to the people of most remote
antiquity it was not till the eighteenth
century that wallpaper anywhere near
its present form came into common
use in Europe, though it appears TO
have been used much earlier in China.
A few rare examples which may be as
early as the sixteenth century exist in
England, but these are limitations, gem
orally in flock" of the old Florentine
and Genoese cut velyets, and hence the
style of the design in no way shows
the date of the wallpaper, the same
traditional patterns being reproduced
with little or no change for many
FEARS. 1t was not till the end of the
last century that the machinery to
make paper in long strips was invent
ed. Up to that time wallpapers were
printed on small square pieces of hand
made paper and were very expensive.
On this account wallpaper was slow in
superseding the older mural decora-
tions, such as tapestry, stamped
leather and paper cloth. A work
printed in London in 1744 throws some
light on the use of wallpapers of that
time: "The method of printing wall
papers of the better sort is probably
the same now that it has eve been.
Wooden blocks, with the design cut in
relief, one for each color, are applied
by hand, after being dipped in an
elastic cloth sieve charged with wet
tempera pigment, great car being
taken to lay each block exactly or the
right place, so that the various colors
may register or get together. In or
der 70 suit the productions of the pa
per mills these blocks are made in
England twenty-one inches wide, and
in France eighteen inches wide. The
length of the block is limited to what
the workman can easily lift with one
hand-two feet being about the limit,
as the blocks are necessarily thick and
in many cases made heavier by being
inlaid with copper, especially the thin
outlines, which, if made Of wood,
would not stand the wear and tear OF
printing. In flock and gold or silver
printing the design is first printed in
strong size, the flock (fineiy cut wool
of the required color or metallic pow
der Is then sprinkled by hand over the
paper; it adheres only to the wet size,
and is easily shaken off the ground or
unsized part. If the pattern is re-
CURED to stand out in some relief the
process is repeated several times and
the whole paper then rolled to COM
press the flock. Cheaper sorts of paper
are printed by machinery, the design
being cut on the surface Of wooden
rollers, under which the paper passes.
The chief drawback to this process Is
that all the colors are applied rapidly,
one after the other, without allowing
each to dry separately, as is done in
hand printing. A somewhat blurred
appearance is usually the result"

OIL USED AS FUEL ON SHIPS.
Russian, Italian and German Navtes Ex-
perimcnting with 1t.

The enormous annual draw on our
coal supply is already somewhat les
sened by the use of liquid fuel, al
though the actual effect is, of course,
inappreciable. Sir Marcus Samuel, in
a recent paper before the Society OF
Arts, gave an interesting cou of
the present position of liquid fuel in
our own and foreign countries. In
England oil as fuel is in use on the
Great Eastern railway, and we believe
the results have proved satisfactory.
1t has also been found more Or less
in use in the Russian, German n
Italian navies and one or two foreign
railways. We are told that when the
old fields of Dutch Borneo were first
opened up the oil was not allowed to
be carried in bulk through the Suez
canal, and there was not a single port
at which obstacles were o placed in
the way OF its introduction. Now ves-
esls carrying $500 tons, and capable
Of discharging over 500 tons of oil per
hour, pass through the canal regularly.
The impediments placed In the way

Increase of Reputation.

Some interesting statistics in regard
to the increase of population have just
been compiled by Sir Robert Clifton, a
distinguished English expert on this
subject. He shows that England now
has possessions on all five continents,
and that a quarter Of the population
of the entire earth is subject to her
~suzerainty. The extent of territory
owned by England amounts to 13, 000,-
900 square miles, and on this immense
tract is a population Of $4,000, 900.
During the last twenty-seyen years the
English realm has increased by 1854
900 square miles, and within the same
period 125, 000, 900 have been added tc
the population.
Since 1871 the population OF the
United Kingdom-England, Scotland
and Ireland-has increased from 3d.
600, 900 to 40 G0 900. At the beginning
of this century England, Scotland and
Ireland had a population Of II, 900,
and France of 10000, 900, and yet today
the proportion of population in both
countries is almost alike. Russia has
increased her population by 60, 000, 00l
since 1870, the result being that she
has now a total population of $780,.
00O, 900. Germany had a population OF
10000, 900 at the beginning of this cen
fury; now she had between so, 600, O0t
and so, 600, 600 of whom almost a quar-.
ter is the result of increase of births
over deaths. Germany, too, is making
vast strides as a colonial power, and
her population in those distant pos.
sessions already amounts to a con.
siderable number.
