Their Huge Alright Compartments Are
Always Kept Sealed.
For transportation Of petroleum over
sea steel tank. ships are made for both
crude and refined oil, says writer in
the Cosmopolitan. Most of the crude
oil exported goes to France and Spain,
where it is treated in local refineries,
the duty imposed on refined oil by
those countries being practically pro-
hibitive. For the Oriental trade the
oil is shipped in cases-two f1ve-gallon
cans Grated together constituting a
"case''-on sailing vessels; as the voy-
age around the Horn takes from 116
to 176 days, far too long a course for
steam vessels. But the transatlantic
trade is chiefly carried on in tank
steamers, huge steel shells in which
almost the entire space in the hull
is devoted to carrying oil in bulk.
There is a small dry compartment in
the bows for ordinary freight and the
crews living quarters are put at the
extreme stern, with the engines i'm
mediately forward of them. The rest
Of the hull is divided into from twelve
to twenty air tight compartments, each
of which has capacity Of about 140,-
600 gallons. The largest tank ship
carry nearly 2,500,000' gallons and so
powerful are thespumpsaby> whieh>they
are controlled that such cargo can be
taken on board or delivered within six
hours. AS these alright compartments
are kept Theoretically sealed from port
to port-instead of being closed only
in an emergency, as on an ocean liner
the oil tank ships are the stanchest
vessels afloat, and many a handsome
sum in salvage have they earned for
their owners by towing into port ves''
sci disabled in storm.

Frenchmen used the cloth to cover
their writing tables. so these were
called bureau" Next the government
officials borrowed the word, for their
valuable papers were kept in the writ

S A Roanoke gentleman who is much
interested in the Society for the Pre-

Ing from recent trip to Washington,
said, that one thing which struck him
especially there was the absence of
check reins from the horses. He said
that not only were the horses allowed
the use of their. heads, but they were
free from this torture of high refining.
Ihere is much meat for thought in
this. The question is naturally asked,
why is it necessary to rein horses up
at all? If refining is necessary in order
TO make the animal more useful, then
II IS extremely peculiar that horses in

horses in Washington when it comes
to That. In fact, it is against common
reason to argue that a horse or any
other animal is worth more with his
head doubled back at right an giles to
It's natural position. That being so,
the practice Of refining must come from
a desire to be in style, a desire which

some attention to the fashion in re-

rad. Why not take up another as
well? Horsemen discourse upon the
advantages of high refining on the
trotting courses. They perhaps know
what they are talking about, but one
does not see them driving their thor

leaving them standing for hours in the

was doing; he did his best to help her.
A wonderful change was coming over
the earl. Not that he was beginning
even in the least to love his wife-that
idea had not yet occurred to him; but
he was beginning to treat her with
great respect, to recognize the fact that
she was high-souled woman.
But, although the idea of: love had
not occurred to him, their relations to-
ward each other were fast changing.
The beautiful, gifted wife was fast TAX
ing her place in every respect and in
every way, except in her husbands
heart. =
Lady Caraven lost no time when her
husband had once given her permits
sion to act. He affected to laugh and
feel amused at her zeal and her en-
thusiasm-in reality. it shamed him.
He asked her what her first reform was
to be; and she told him all the labor
ers' cottages were to be pulled down,
and fresh houses built for them
houses where the first laws of health
could be regarded. She wanted good
fresh air, dry walls, pure water, plenty
of room. She did not rest until the
workmen were busy in" removing what
she called the "fever-acres.'
She was to have her own way, vet
she showed the sweetest submission to
her husband. When the architect and
builder waited upon her with plans for
the model cottages, she took them at
once to him. He looked up laughing
ly.
You pay me compliment, Hill
dred," he said, "but it is your affair
entirely, not NINE"
Il shall find no pleasure in it unless
have your approval" she replied. II
am your head steward, not your guide.
Look over these with me-"
They discussed them in full detail,
and that conversation had something
so interesting, so piquant in it, that the
earl was deeply interested.
t'Thank VT" said Hildfed, locking
up with a charming smile-'I am
grateful to you for relieving me in my
perplexity.'
THE pleasure has been all on my
side," he answered.; and that was the
most gallant speech that the earl had
yet made to his wife.
So time passed on, and the beautiful
summer days were filled with schemes
and plans~f for the benefit of Others
It seemed to the earl that he was
really waking up from long sleep.
The world was wearing different as
pect for him. He had never even given
a thought to politics. With the arbi-
trary insolence of youth he had pro-
nounced them nonsense-and that was
one of the things that Sir Raoul most
deplored: E!l9,red, too, was sorry for
IL. She had been so successful in other
matters that she ventured at last upon
this. It was by a series of well-direct-
ed Questions that she first aroused his
attention. In trying to answer them
he grew interested himself. IF could
vote,", Hildred had a fashion of saying,
Il should try to urge that measure"
At last Lord Caraven awoke to the
consciousness that in the government
of Britain's mighty empire he, too.
ought to have voice.
