they had always been subject to Por-
tuguese rule. When, in 1854, Great
Britain acknowledged the independ-
ence of the Orange Free State, she
hoisted flag in Delagoa Bay, proclaim
ing that territory British. The Portu-
guese government made such a strong
protest that the English did not press
the claim, but when, in 1869, Portugal
entered into treaty with the Orange
Free State defining the latter's boun-
daries, etc, England again lay claim
to Delagoa bay and surrounding terri
tory on the strength of the documents
secured by the geographical party
from the various chiefs. The matter
was left to the president of the French
republic for arbitration, and he de-
cided in favor of Portugal, who, how
ever, bound herself never to cede or
sell any of the land to third power
until England had been given fair OPP
portunity to make reasonable offer.
In 1891 this pledge was reconfrmed
and made to extend to the whole Por-
tuguese territory to the south of Fam
best. By this recent convention Eng
land is in a similar manner bound to
give first choice to Portugal before
disposing of any territory subject to
her sphere of influence.
Portugal is always in need of money.
She is already indebted to England in
large amount for various loans in
addition to the sum which the arbi-
traitors decided she must pay for the
Delagoa Bay railway. Her internal
affairs are in a deplorable state. Eng
land is exceedingly anxious to cancel
these obligations and pay handsomely
besides for Delagoa Bay, and there is
every reason to believe the matter will
soon be accomplished.
Before the Boer war Germany de-
clared that "the material interests
which Germany has created by the con-
struction of railways and the estab-
lishment of commercial relations with
heTransvaal require the maintenance
of the Transvaal as an Independent
state" She even went so far as to
land troops in the Portuguese posses
sions for use in South Africa and sent
friendly messages to Boer leaders en-
couraging them in their struggle.
Later her attitude became a strictly
neutral one. She receded from the
position that her interests could not
be safeguarded if the English owned
Delagoa bay; and it was generally re-
ported that she had entered into
pact with Great Britain. That is
why Germany may also secure por-
ton of the Portuguese possessions.
France, in this instance, is the jealous
power. France takes the position that
the ownership of Delagoa bay by the
English will be great menace to her
control in the island of Madagascar
and at any rate will destroy her dream
of being the supreme power in the Mo-
zambique channel. MILTON MARKS.

best preventative against madness is
the woman with a temperament, who
never knows what she is going to do
next, and so cannot worry her hus-
band before she does it. Providence
has invented the Rapid Woman,
"A first best friend whom Heaven assigns

To add variety to cares we know"
There are so many varieties of the

difficult to classify them. Perhaps,
literally speaking, the most rapid of
them all is the girl who, with an
elementary ignorance of horses, and
the pluck of that most irascible of
all birds, the tom-tit, insists on driv-

Great Britain May at Last
Own Delagoa Bay "a :. s~
Something of he That Has Been OF
Great Value the Boer Republics

Marques was visited only occasionally
and that by missionaries or shipwreck
ed crews which found their way in
there. Although Lourenco Marques
and all other similar stations along the
coast claimed by the Portuguese were
granted each government official
who in turn was under the authority
of the governor of Mozambique, it was
not until the splendid agricultural and
grazing lands north of the Vaal river
in the interior had been occupied by
the Boer farmers, who had trekked in
there from Cape Colony, that the nat
ural pre-eminence of Lourenco Mar
ques and Delagoa Bay came to be rec
ognized. But up to the beginning Of
the eighteenth century practically
nothing was done by the Portuguese
to establish an effective trade. The
Dutch took possession of Lourenco
Marques in 1921 (they found it inhabit-
ed), but they were soon glad to give it
up, on account of the malarial swamps
In 1776 an Austrian expedition under
English command erected a trading
station, but it's members were expelled
a few years later by the Portuguese,
who built a fort. This was in turn de-
stroyed by the French. In 1922 Brit
ish captain, wishing to explore the
country in the Interests of geography
and science, secured permission of the
Portuguese government and landed an
expedition at Lourenco Marques. Here
he was informed by the Portuguese
that he would have to take his own
chances with the natives, who were
not under Portuguese rule. He had
explored but short distance up the
Tembe river when he came upon these
chiefs, and finding that they favored
English rule, induced them to sign doc
uments ceding the whole of their ter
ritory to Great Britain. When this
British expedition had departed the
Portuguese learned of what had been
done and in tarn induced the same
chiefs to sign documents declaring

view from the bluffs back of the town
is said to be one of the most beautiful
and magnificent imaginable. On closer
inspection, however, it is seen that the
original town of Lorenzo Marques was
located upon an in-favored site, being
built upon a long, low bar of sand not
very far above the water. Originally
this sand spit receded landward into
low, swampy ground, but under Eu-
ropean invasion this land has been
drained and an upper town is spring
ing into existence upon the higher
ground, leaving the lower lands for
wharfs and shipping h1uses. Delagoa
bay was first discovered by the famous
Portuguese navigator, Vasco da CANA,
who, some five years after the discov-
cry of America by Columbus, embark
ed, like him, with three vessels, but
with the mission of discovering a new
route to India by rounding the Cape
of Good Hope. BY this hardy under
taking, which, like allvoyages of that
day, was exceedingly adventurous, he
succeeded in reaching the eastern
coast of Africa. Here he coasted for
some days along the shore to the south
of Delagoa Bay. This land he called
Natal because he first saw it on Christ
mas day. When he reached the great
bay which was to prove his most i'm
portant discovery he was we'll received
there by the natives; but hardly tar
rying to explore the region even about
the mouths of the large rivers that
empty their waters into the bay at
that point, he proceeded northward
along the coast as far as Mozambique.
Then he returned to Lisbon.
In 1906 another fleet of Portuguese
vessels started upon a voyage of con-
quest along this coast. By some mis-
hap one vessel lost the rest of the feet
and put into Delagoa bay. Landing to
secure provisions the crew was at
tackled by the natives and many of
them killed, although few succeeded
in putting to sea, where they were fin
ally picked up by the expedition. The
rapid conquest of the country discov-
cred by Vasco da CANA was due en-
tirely to the boldness with which the
Portuguese continued voyages of dis
covery. In 1914 two Portuguese men,
Laurence Marques and Antonio Cal
deira, sent out by the captain of the
province of Mozambique, coasted along
the shore in frail bark, exploring the
various rivers which they found, among
them the several emptying into Della
goa Bay A small station was estab-
lished upon the Espirito Santo (now
called English river) and the place was
named Lourenco Marques. The town

coast at this point, taking them across

certainly kept us occupied so much
that we were intensely surprised to
find that we had been out for three
hours. We returned in a farmers
wagon, the remains of the cart not
feeling up to bringing us back.
"Rapid work, wasn't it?" said the
girls husband, as he came into my
room with bottle of embrocation;
"but then my wife's a rapid woman"
There is another kind of Rapid
Woman, who is always in hurry to
make friends, and to get rid of them
with equal speed. She claims that
she prevents her relations from
feeling dull; they claim that as a
nerve-destroyer she is equal to an
earthquake or a typhoon.
The Rapid Woman lives in such
hurry that she has no time to
think. She will ''put drachma on
a gee-gee" because it has long tail,
or plunge recklessly at Monte Carlo
if she suddenly dreams of an infal-
lible system for breaking the bank.
There was a Rapid Woman at Monte
Carlo last year who thought of a
scheme, and lost all her own and her
husbands money. Their landlord
wanted security until remittances
arrived, but generously consented to
pay for a telegram to London
banker. Then he significantly re-
marked that he must have "Miloiss"

diamond ring as security until the
money came. The annoyed Rapid
Woman said unkind things to the
andlord-things which incensed him
so much that he insisted on having
the ring deposited with him. mo
ring, no dinner" he said, ineXorably.
Fortunately, the remittances arrived,
after three days of misery. "Milor'
sent down the money to the landlord,
and haughtily demanded the return
of his ring. Everyone was lunching
at the time. Suddenly the door of
the dining-room crashed open, and
an ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS waiter APP
peared, carrying a huge tray covered
with white cloth. In the center of
the tray reposed "Milor's'' ring in
solitary state. The Rapid Woman
and "Milor" got away from Monte
Carlo as swiftly as possible. People
seemed to be smiling all over the
place, and they did not feel happy
at the rude world having been taken
into their angry landlords conf
dence.
The Rapid Woman is always in a
hurry, and, consequently, never has
time to get her hair done properly.
If she is in the country, she is much
worried by the attentions of birds
who, installing it for a bush, want
to nest there. She PUSHES through
life as if she were catching trains,
or missing them, and will not even
give herself time to die properly, but
suddenly collapses in public with
three gasps and a jerk. She is well
on her way to the next world before
policeman can take her name and
address, and summon her for Great
ing an obstruction in this.
The Rapid Woman is more deadly
than absinthe, more Objectionable
than the patriots who encouraged
England's enemies in the late war,
more confusing than a Christian
Scientist, more restless than three
year-old baby, more Notwithstanding
than a motor car. Unlike the motor
car, however, she never punctures
her tires, and so is not forced to
stop. The only time she is ever quiet
is when she is playing bridge whist.
Sometimes, however, she plays bridge
in her sleep, and her husband wishes
she were dead, or that he could fold
his tent like the Arabs and as silent
ly steal away
The woman with a past is obiec-
tionable because she expects too
many presents; the woman with a
present makes one uncomfortable
because she never realizes it until
it is past: the woman with fu-
ture pains ones sense of the pic
turesque because she generally dyes
before it overtakes her; but the
Rapid Woman ought to be sent to the
rife range to be used as target
instead of the running deer. 1t would
cost a good deal in ammunition be-
fore she got hit; but the practice to
the sportsmen in shooting at so ran
idly moving an object would be al
most valuable enough to Justify the
experiment, G. B. BURGIN.

''No, that'H take time. Take her for
$500 and rae her quick"
Next day the sky-scraper man was
fussing about with his architect when
my friend called to him from the house
which he was dismantling: Come in
and see what I've got" he said.
The other man entered. THAT man
tell said the wrecker, must have cost
$4,000 to build. It's hand-carved and
of beautiful esign-right in the pres
ent style, too, being many years old.
And see those pier-glasses. Rich man
must have lived here in the seventies"
"Say, I'll give you $500 for the man
tel" began the former owner, insin-
uatingly.
"Not much you won't; I'll put it in
my own house"
Out of a dismantled building the
wrecker gets lead pipe which is worth
several cents pound; iron pipe, kind
ling wood, marble CRATES, slabs,
mirrors and chandeliers, mantels,
windows, doors and door trim
mings. The brick and brown-stone is
literally ''as good as new" So are the
flooring beams and boards.
But they don't look as good as new?
Quite so, they do not-until they have
been run through special machinery
which isn't afraid of nails and leaves
them as clean and fresh as you please!
