and remained in their hands until the middle of
the seventeenth century, when the Arabs of the
interior secured possession of it. The mams or
sultans Of Muscat afterwards made extensive con-
quests in eastern Africa, including Zanzibar, Nom
bas and Quiloa. Oman was at the climax of its
power and commercial prosperity in the first half
of the nineteenth century, when the authority of
the imams sultans extended over the Persian
territories of Larstan and Mogistan, the islands of
Bender Abbas. part of the coast of Baluchstan and
the long strip of African coastland including Fan
zibar. Mombasa and Quiloa, together with the
island of Socotra. The present ruling family orig
mated in Yemen and was first established in the
imamate In the person of Ahmed ibn Said in 1741
The rise of the Wahabi power in Nedjed resulted
in considerable loss OF territory. In 1856 on the
death Of Sultan Said his possessions were divided
between his two sons receiving the African
territories and the other Muscat with the Persian
possessions. These last were lost in 1875 Sultan
Thuwany, who succeeded in Muscat, was assass
mated In 1866 by his Selim, who reigned but
short time, and was driven out by his uncle, Seyyid
Feisal ibn Turk. The power of the imam is exer-

correspondent from India writes that the
British gunboats in the Persian gulf have been
very active in suppressing the traffic in rifles and
ammunition. The arms were being landed on the
Makran coast and thence we're carried by cara
rans for sale to the tribesmen on the northwest
ern frontier Of India, to be used against the Brit
ish troops when the next trouble comes The
navy men are reported to have been very sue
cessful, and made several good hauls of rifles and
ammunition. To reduce still further the gun-run-
ners chances of profit, four companies of the
Fourteenth Sinks were sent from Quota to inter-
cept caravans in the neighborhood of Robat One
of our illustrations depicts the entraining of some
of the transport camels at Jaccbabad in Sind en-
route to Nushk, whence the column marched to
Robat
As rule, when camels entrained they are
loaded on open trucks, but this occasion it was
thought advisable to make use of closed cars
The "oouts" strongly objected to being loaded, but
with rope behind the hooks and steady per-
suasive strain on the nose rope they were event
ually hauled or pushed in. Once in the car the
cames were made to kneel down In the sand
which had been spread on the floor their knees
were then tied so that 1t was impossible for them
to straighten out their foreegs
The cars were each loaded with six camels,
three in each end, facing inward. The space in
the middle was utilized for saddles and fodder for
the journey. Two camelmen also Travelled in each
car. 1t may be remarked that Brahus differ from
most people in that they do not notice that the
camel has particularly offensive odor The
camels dubbed and protested while being load
ed, but they soon settled down and began to eat
the fodder provided for them 1t took five hours
to load the first train of 100 camels. Only one

all the weight with the exception of
that Of the planes, is suspended from
the latter by pivotal arrangement
susceptible to all deviation OF the
planes themselves. BY this means
latitudinal and logitudinal deflec.
tion OF the machine from the course
desired will be adjusted mechanically
and without interference OF the oper.
ator. A dip downwards OF the planes,
for instance. would cause the plat.
form or car TO tilt forwards and thus
restore the planes TO their original
position and the same operation would
ensue should the planes take a side
ward slant.
The principle Of the device is ex
tremely simple; It being that TO be

manner the planes win be susceptible

tribution Of pressure downwards. and

There Is no reason to believe that

characteristics that have made others

best have taxed the presence OF mind
OF aeropianists in the past. The ma.

ity Of an autombile for the reason that

I'VE are at once confronted with
the question OF what is sin? The Bl.
ble Is very clear on this point We
are not so much concerned about the
theory Of sin as we are the fact OF
sin. There are two great facts in
this world. one OF them Is sin and
the other Is salvation. Sin is an aw-
ful reality. one which every seeing
and thinking man can't afford TO
stumble over. Many men are STUN.
bling right into hell just because they
can't understand some other mans
theory.
You may account for II any way
you please. but sin is in the child.
and II II is not controlled Il win burst
out into outward acts and destroy a
persons influence and powers. You
can't educate sin out OF people. The
only thing that viii help them is TO
have their life changed. God can give
the new birth 10 those who put their
trust In Him. Sin steals upon tour
!ife unawares; the man who congrat.
ulates himself upon his goodness and
thinks he is not so bad. will wake uT
some day to find out that he has q
lot Of sins fastened TO his life which
are too heavy to shake on. The first
time a man does a mean act he
thinks much Of II. but after a while !
he gets so deadened TO IL that he can
go on. Just like a man can sleep on
