of the law and decided not to grant any
reduction on that ground. Several stock
holders have been advised to pay under
protest and others are told not to pay the
tax on the stock. Just what course will
be pursued is not clear, but decision
of the courts ON the point mentioned will be
necessary to settle the matter.

The Famous MameIukes.

The mamelukes were body Of sol
diers who ruled Egypt for several hun
dred years. Their name is derived
from an Arab word which means slave,
and they were originally captives from
Caucasian countries. In the middle of
the thirteenth century they were intro
duced into Egypt as the sultan's body
guard, but upon the accession of Turan
Shah, whom they hated, they over
threw him and elected one of them
selves in his place. For nearly 300
years they held the power thus usurp-
ed, and even when compelled to resign
it they had much influence in Egypt.
In 1911 nearly all the mamelukes were
massacred by Mohammed Ali, and
those who then escaped to Nubia were
destroyed in 1920.

when approaching the land in a fog
soundings are taken with the deep sea
lead" This lead weighs twenty-eight
pounds and is attached to a line which
is marked off in fathoms by bunting of
various colors, pieces of leather and
knots. Bored in the base of the lead
is a hole about two inches deep, and
this is filled with tallow, so that the
gravel or shells at the ocean bottom
will adhere to it, and the nature of the
bed may be thus ascertained. When
the lead is thrown overheard the wa
ter's depth is noted on the line, and
this and the adherence to the tallow
when compared with the description
given on the chart will give the ships
position with tolerable accuracy.

He wants to know where John Brown

The pillars of nerculen.

The pillars of Hercules was the
name anciently given to the mountains
of Calpe and Abyla, standing opposite
to each other, the one on the European
and the other on the African shore of
the strait which connects the Mediter-
ranean sea with the Atlantic ocean.
The mountains are now called the
Rock of Gibraltar and Jebel Zatant
The word Gibraltar, which is at pres
ent also applied to the strait, was
originally "Jebel Taric," or Mountain
Of Taric," Taric being the name of the
leader of the first Mohammedan band
which crossed at that point over into
Spain in the year A. d. 10.
