by the oil, not the oil itself which ex-
plodes
Prior to 1890 the tank ships had their
engines far aft Then an attempt was
made to place the engines amidships with
tanks at both ends. causing much COM
ment and apprehension on the part of the
marine underwriters. There were devices
arranged. certain steam jets, to blow the
gases from the oil out of the shaft alley.
The several vessels constructed in this
manner were soon condemned, and build
ers returned to the former method or
placing the engines aft and the tanks for
ward of them. There has always been
much difficulty in keeping the tank ships
tight, as the oil eats the rivets. At pres
ent the underwriters have nothing to do
with oil craft the owners insuring their
own vessels. srhe owners of tank ships
and all other oil transports are now DOM
bined in several corporations, closely as
sociated with the oil monopoly.

A BUZZING PARTY.

There is the liveliest sort of evening
fun in the new idea of buzzing-fun
which is just difficult enough to keep
quick wits on the jump for an hour or
two and yet requiring no erudition be-
yond a very elementary knowledge of
arithmetic
The invitation sheets should be deco
rated in designs of bees to suggest the
name of the entertainment.
No preparation whatever is necessary
for a buzzing party except that of pro-
viding a simple prize to reward the
most successful buzzer.
All guests on arriving are asked TO
form a circle by drawing up their
chairs, and the secret of the ordeal is
explained.
The numbers from one to one thou
sand are to be counted aloud, each player
in turn naming a number, observing the
order in which it comes in Enumeration.
But certain numbers and their multiples
are to be represented by certain anus
ing words. Thus, the number seven or
any of its multiples is never given, but
the word Buzz is substituted. Three and
its multiple requires the word Fiz. Five
and its multiple takes Doodle Doc.
