A canal to transport oil to the gulf is

the contemplated port is Tampico.
A Hungarian government document
notes a great decline in the manufacture
of corsets; some factories have been
closed, others have largely reduced their
working force. 1t attributes this result
to the growing custom of wearing ere
form clothing" and to the persistent
denunciation of corsets by physicians.
At a recent conference the German,
Belgian and English manufacturers of
steel rails arrived at an understanding
regarding the general export trade. Ac-
cording to the agreement English mills
are to furnish SIS per cent. of the foreign

A PECULIAR PRINCIPAuITY.
Island Near Wales Has Ruler Whose
History Is Something Of
Curiosity.

The Isle of Bardsey, off north Wales,
Is the remote home of a singularly iso-
lated community. The dimensions Of
Bardsey are, roughly, two miles III
length by one in width. The inhab-
itants, who occupy some dozen we'll
built and comfortable farmhouses, d.
vide the callings of farmers and fisher
men. They form a shy and reserved
community, gradually thawing under
the influence of increased facilities of
communication with the outer world,
but still holding aloof. Bardsey boasts
"king,' and the history of the Bard
sey throne is somewhat remarkable.
The island is the property Of Lord
Marlborough and was favorite resort
of his grandfather. He it was who insti-
tuted the office Of king. Selecting from
the islanders one of superior parts and
character, he invested him with the gen.
eral authority which he himself pos
sessed as landlord, and appointed him
as head man, bidding the rest to obey
his ruling, abide by his decisions in
cases of dispute and in general respect
his authority.
Partly in jest, no doubt, to strength
en- his viceregents position, he con-
ferred upon him the title of king of
Bardsey,' and bestowed also upon him
a crown, treasure and an army. The
"crown' was a gorgeous diadem of brass,
wondrously embossed and wrought, the
treasure a silver casket brought from
Italy, and the army" a wooden figure
painted to represent soldier.
For many years the liking" ruled in
Bardsey under the guidance Of his mu-
nificent patron, and the title and regalia
are still held by his son, a picturesque
old peasant. Lord Marlborough died In
1883 and was buried on the island.
