Concerning the Island of Cloves and It's Young Mohammedan Sultan

from all parts Of Hindoostan, and they
wear many strange costumes. I see little
black girls whose arms and legs are loaded
with gold and silver Jewelry. They have
tight pantelets which fall to their ankles
and are fringed there with lace. They have
also a coat which comes to the knees.
There are dark-faced women with nose
buttons Of gold and silver, and fat, greasy
looking Indian men, who strut about wear
ing pill-box caps made Of velvet and cloth
of silver. These men have on long coats
buttoned up to the throat, and under them
calico pantaloons which fit tight to the
skin. Others have roundabout jackets with
gold studs down the front, which look for
all the world like dress-shirts with the tails
cut off.
These Hindoes do most Of the retail bust
ness of Zanzibar. They have long streets
Of bazaar-like stores in the city itself, ana
their peddlers go all over the island. They
use rupees as money. and their chief GUS
toners are the Swahilis and the other
natives.
The British government handles the col
ony as though 81 were a part Of India The
laws are those used in the courts ~ Him
doostan, and the government itself is mod
eled upon that Of East India.

the equator and from fifteen to thirty
miles from the coast of German East Al
RIGA. 1t can now be reached by a half
dozen steamship lines. and the fare from
here TO Washington is something like $500.
There are four lines which connect the
island with Europe. and the German East
Africa ships go regularly from here to
Bombay. in India, and to Rangoon, in
Burma. There are also ships which have
regular sailings to the Persian gulf and
Madagascar, so that the island can be
easily reached.

The height OF these loggias will be fifty

The highest office floor in the tower will
be 637 feet above the sidewalk. The observ-

tan tower walls will be of marble from top
to bottom, while the Singer tower has
corners of brick and terra Gotta and central
panels Of metal and glass. This will, Of
course, account in part for the large DIFF
ference in gross weight.
The new Metropolitan tower will be 700

be a window over the lookout geo feet

One of the chief features of this Metro

have figures four feet in length and hands

to do this by giving one red flash for the
quarter, two for the half and three for the
three-quarter hour and a white flash for
the hour.
Extraordinary precautions have been
taken in this Metropolitan skyscraper both
to guard against wind pressure and also to
insure lasting durability. Engineers have
figured a vino pressure Of t~hirty-five
pounds to the square foot as ample for
most big skyscrapers. In the case Of the
Metropolitan the allowance has been in

creased from thirty-five to sixty pornds

ance for a higher wind that has ever been
experienced in New York.
To prevent the steel framework against
oxidation or rusting 1t was treated first to
a painted coat of cement paint. All the
abraised corners have been carefully re-
painted, and when put in place the steel
beams have been subjected to a second
coating OF waterproof paint.

lions Of secret drinkers who hide their
whisky breath from the knowledge of their
deluded wives by the aroma of Zanzibar
cloves, The island produced last year over
26,0O0,OOO pounds of these spices. This is
enough to smother the scent of all the
liquors raised by man and leave some to
spare.
During my stay l have ridden out to some
of the plantations. Gloves come from trees
which are set out In orchards and cult
waited. At the age of 6 years the trees be-
gin to bear blossoms, and it is these bios
SONS which form the cloves Of commerce.
They are bright red in color and are full
of perfume. They are picked when they
are In fun bloom and then smoked over
slow wood fires. During the smoking they
turn from red to brown, and when cured
are almost black. After they are well dried
they are packed up In bags, and in that
shape are sent to Europe and the United
States. The English have another Glove
island, known as Pemba. which lies a little
north Of Zanzibar, and is governed from
here. These tyo islands produce more than
30 per cent of all the cloves raised in the
world.

secured the fee simple title to the lands
which formerly belonged to his father upon
the payment of something like 1,25O,OOO

l am not sure as to just what the sui
tan is worth, for his purse is kept sep
arate from the general revenue Of the
country; and the taxes are used by the
British under the direction of the British
consul general. l only know that he has
enough to live in considerable state, and to
keep up magnificent stables, comprising
the finest OF Arabian horses. He has prob
ably a large number of female slaves in
his palaces and 1 am told there are thou
sands OF women who are kept in slavery
by the Arab officials and merchants here.

The Arabs are still the lords of Zanzibar,
although the British act as rulers. They
own the greater part Of the island; they
have the Glove plantations and they work

goods being sent from here to the main
land and carried across to Lake Tangan-
yika and other parts Of the continent.
At the same time ivory, hides and the
various native products are brought here
to be shipped to Europe, so that the place
has a great trade.
AS you approach the city from the sea
1t makes you think Of southern Europe.
The shore is lined with three-story build
ings, built of stone and brick, covered with
stucco and painted in all colors Of the
rainbow There are blue buildings, white
buildings, green buildings and yellow
buildings, all mixed together. The town
appears twice as big as It is, and it looks
both imposing and beautiful. Right out
OF the center, on the edge of the sea, rises
the sultan's palace. and farther down to
the south are the buildings of the British
consulate, which look like a white mar
BILE castle. =
AS you come nearer the marble turns to
whitewash; and the sultan's palace dwin-
dies in grandeur until it looks like one
OF our great seaside hotels. II Is. in fact,
a three-story building of wood painted yell
low, with galleries running about it from
story to story. These galleries are about
twenty feet wide and they are for all the
world like hotel porches. The roof is red,
and, as II seems to cover a roof garden, the
hotel effect is still more in evidence, 1t
Is there that the SULTAN lives with his nu-
merous wives. ! do not know how many
dusky ladies there are In the harem. His
majesty is a Mohammedan and he keeps
such things to himself. | only know that
the soldiers are always guarding the doors
and that the canno at the entrance seemed
to frown at me as l passed by. There "a

Sultan of Zanzibar.
Indeed the glory Of this sultanate IL
fast passing away. It once controlled al
most the whole Of East Africa. The sui
tan had all the territory that now belongs
TO the Germans, reaching as far east as
Lake T~anganyika, and also the whole OF
the coast lands of British East Africa, eK-
tending almost to Arabia. He was one OF
the greatest slave dealers in the world.
recently went through the slave market
where some of this young sultan's ances
tors sold negro slaves for American con
sumption, and | stopped in a hotel named
after Tipoo Tib, the great slave dealer whC
aided Stanley In his explorations. WheE
Tlpoo lib died not long ago he left more
than 200 black wives. Within recent year
the British have abolished slavery. but
