Muscat was taken by the Portuguese in 1903
and remained in their hands until the middle OF
the seventeenth century, when the Arabs of the
interior secured possession Of 1t. The imams 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 or sultans extended over the Persian
territories of Laristan and Mogistan, the islands OF
Bender Abbas, part Of the coast Of Baluchistan, and
the long strip Of African c~oastland including Fan.
zibar, Mombasa and Quiloa, together with the
island Of Socotra. The present ruling family origi-
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, one 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 assassi.

short time, and was driven out by his uncle, Seyyid
Feisal ibn Turk. The power of the imam Is exer-
cised very little beyond the capital, Muscat, the
name of which is therefore probably better known
in popular usage than that of the whole state.

w ASHINGTON.-Army horses are
w to become tattooed animals If
a suggestion made by Capt. Casper
II. Conrad. Jr., of the cavalry arm, is
adopted. Captain Conrad is detailed
for duty in the quartermaster's depart
ment, and is recognized as an expert
on horses required for military use.
Horses are now being purchased by
members of the quartermaster's de-
partment. who are making their selec-
lions ia various parts of the country.
The success attending this effort
has been very gratifying to the quar-
termaster general, who has estab-
lished an army remount system, with
a view to improving the cavalry
mounts and the horses furnished to
the field artillery. When a young horse
is purchased in n locality to be sent
to one of the two army remount de-
pots-at Fort Keogh, Montana. or Fort
Reno, Okla.-he is marked with a
numeral. The mark lasts about four
months, when it becomes obliterated,
and it Is necessary to apply another.

peans and, unhappily, by British merchants. The
sultan, who is under British protection derives a
large revenue from it, but although negotiations
with him for its prohibition might reGu diplo-
matte handling owing to his treaty obligations
with at least one other power, it is the only efec-
tive means Of avoiding the outpouring OF blood
and treasure on the Indian forntier.
At present the efforts of the British navy are
handicapped by the fact that the Typographical
conditions of Muscat, as indeed of the whole lit
toral Of the gulf, do not allow preventive ships
to go very close to the coast. 1t is this fact which
enables the gun-running dhcws to escape the vigil
lance Of British cruisers.
Thus the dhows which put out from Muscat
with their contraband cargoes adopt the simple
plan of nugging the coast within the s~halloW-Wa-
ter limits. If they are making for koWeit, which
is the center of the gun trade for Mesopotam1a
and western Persia, they can proceed all the way
in comparative safety, otherwise they sail just
far enough to be in a position to make a dash for
Jask or some other port on the Makran coast,
where their cargoes are received for conveyance
by caravan cia Baluchistan to Afghan1stan and
the northwest frontier Khels.
The two most active firms engaged in this
trade are owned by a Baluchi and a Frenchman.
There are also in Muscat numerous small shops
engaged in the trade, and numbers OF the agents
are "baGias" from India. Mysterious cargoes are
also dropped overheard in the dead of night into
swift-sailing dhows and got away TO OBSCURE
places along the eastern coast. 1t will be 11npos-
sibie to check this growing peril to England
peace in India without a large number OF small
draught patrol boats and an efficient coastguard
on the Malran coast.

Uncle Sam Is to Test the Open Door

When the recent convention be-
tween Russia and Japan was sprung
on the world American diplomats ex-
pressed little surprise. The govern
ment has believed from the first there
is a secret article in this convention
which a not been made public. It is
felt he unpublished portion is an
agreement on the part Of the two ma
lions to support each other in barring
other nations from the territory in
question. The United States intends
to force Russia's hand and determine
whether such a secret bargain exists.
The concession granted to the English
American syndicate was for the con-
struction of the Chin-Chow-Aigun rail-
road line. English capitalists we're to
furnish the funds and the materials
were to be built IN America.
There is one drawback to the situa-
ton from the standpoint Of this gov
eminent. England for some unknown
reason, Is weakening. Her enthusiasm
for the joint undertaking cooled per-
ceptibly after Russia had entered an
objection. Diplomats seem to think Y
quite likely thai the United States VIII
have to make the fight s~ingle-handed
to keep Manchuria open with U op-
portunity to all nations.

Will Lead in War on the Opium Evil

means Of International agreements
through which opium producing U
tries will protect, by means OF gov
eminent supervision, ports where the
importation Of the drug is prohibited.
The first realization Of the serious
ness OF the opium traffic SO far as the
United States is concerned came wher
the government started to put tht
Philippines in order. An attempt u
regulate the unlimited traffic e
called for the appointment of a COM
mission. The commission in tracing
the many Americans engaged In the
opium trade found that the United
States, with some 100000 American
users of smoking opium, to say moth
Ing of the Chinese users here, pre-
sented almost as serious a question
as the insular possessions. Since that
time the United States has led the
fight among the powers against the
drug.
About a year ago a law absolutely
prohibiting the Importation into this
country Of opium for any except medf
cinal purposes was passed. But there
are now about 15O, 900 Americans using
the drug, and in spite of the prohtb1-
tory statute about $4,000 pounds OF
smoking opium Is smuggled into this
country annually. A. mg ~ g

Tattoo Suggested for Army Horses

A third marking takes place when the
horse is sent from the army remount
depot to the troop or battery, and 1t
must be renewed from time to time.
1t is Captain Conrad's idea that a
more enduring designation could be
accomplished by applying a mark to
the inside of the upper lip of the
horse. He has devised an instrument
for this purpose, and suggests the use
numeral adopted will be indelible.
This will require, of course, a regular
system Of marking SO h a there may
be no duplicates. By this mean a
horse accepted for military service
will keep its number 1t may be nee
essaTy to have legislation to prevent
tampering with the designation or ma
king use of a similar mark in the case
of horses not used in the military
service. .....-.
Captain Conrad's quest is expected
to lead to several important acquisi-
lions during the coming year. By this
method the middleman is avoided, and
horses are obtained at a much lower
price than under the contract system
Besides, there is a better opportunity
Of selection. and controversies are
avoided which SO often have prevailed
between the government representa-
tives and the contractors who fail to
comply with specifications in the de-
livery of military animals.

INFECTION IN THE PRISON
Peculiarly Favorable Field There for
\ the Spread of the Scourge
Of tuberculosis.

Only twenty-one prisons in fifteen
1 states and territories have provided
u special places for the treatment of
their tuberculous prisoners. These in
situations can accommodate, however,
only 800 patients. In three-fourths of
che major prisons and in practically
all the jails of the country the tuber-
culous prisoner is allowed freely to
infect his fellow prisoners, very few
restrictions being placed upon his
habits. When the congregate mode of
prison life Is considered, the danger of
Infection becomes greater than in the
general population. New York and
Massachusetts are the only states
where any systematic attempt has
been made to transfer all tuberculous
prisoners to one central institution.
The largest prison tuberculosis hospi-
tai Is in Manila, whore accommoda-
lions for 200 prisoners are provided.
The mex largest is Clinton prison hos.
pital in New York, which provides for
$50.

KEEP BABY'S SKIN CLEAR

Few parents realize how many es-
9tmable lives have been embittered
and social and business success pre-
vented by serious skin affections
which SO often result from the neglect
of minor eruptions in g infancy and
childhood. With but a little care and
the use of the proper emollients, baby's
skin and hair may be preserved, puri-
lied and %beautiied, minor eruptions
prevented from becoming chronic and
prturing, disfiguring rashes, itchings,

rake forward"
A 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 were carried by cara
vans for sale to the tribesmen on the northwest
ern frontier of India, to be used against the Brits
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 Skins 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 .Tacobabad in Sind, en-
route to Nushki. whence the column marched to
Robat.
AS a rule, when camels are entrained they are
loaded on open trucks, but on this occasion it was
thought advisable to make use of closed cars.
The "oouts' strongly objected to being loaded. but
with q rope behind the hooks and q steady, per
suaSive strain on the nose rope they were event
ually hauled or pushed in. Once in the car the
cameis 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 forelegs.
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 Brahuis differ from
most people in that they do not notice that the
camel has a 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
came! that had an unusually large hump could
not be pushed through the door, and he was
trussed like a chicken and carried bodily in by
