Africa, on the other side of the
lagoon presented in that latitude an
edge as straight as if it had been
ruled, with the one exception Of a
small curved peninsula like human
fist and arm. mainly Of chocolate col
ored rock, which was thrust out into
the lagoon, and in the hollow of this,
the crook of the arm, so to speak, the
Norman Towers was harbored. Be.
yond the straight edge Of the hot vel
low beach lay dunes of sand which
bristled here and there with clumps
Of dry gray grass. ..........5

of those grass tufts" said Kettle, peer

worried. They aren't attempting to

George with laugh. "Those are Bar

The heads of live-oaks and argan

stretching over a wide flat, and then
there were scrub-clad foot hills, and
then sleeper slopes that ran back into
colossal mountains.

"And there may be villages to any

CHAPTER XII. (Continued.)

"And I suppose the other is: Where
have our dusky friends all bolted to?
They bang off their tin cannon at us
just as might have been expected. and
then, instead Of putting up the battle
which one might reasonably suppose
ought to follow. they calmly vanish.

mo sir, certainly not. There must
have been thousands of tons Of it.
They were working, working, working,
day after day, many hundreds of them.
Indeed, the more I think Of 1t the
more I am convinced the heaps didn't
grow as they ought to have DONE"
What, what do you mean"
1T almost seems as if they must
have been carting it away under cover
of night while we were hanging about
here in the surf-boat, and then as soon
as our backs are turned, off goes the
rest of it. AS you say, sir, the beach
now is swept as clear as a chapel floor
over all the space behind the Towers
and up to the foot of the cliff"
WELL said Sir George, they
can't have evaporated into thin air, all
of them. Suppose we just sit down and
smoke for half an hour, and see II we
can't spot some one peeping at lis

some bit of cover on the land side"

sigh, that's the best thing we can do.
We must move very cautiously. We
can't afford to take the usual mems
risks"
So they set to work with binoculars
and telescopes to search for what they
could find.
On the Atlantic side the scheme Of
the land and seascape was simple
enough There was long struggling
row of reefs and islets, noisy on the
outer edges with white frill of surf,
and apparently tenanted only by sea-
fowl. A Moor or two might certainly
have been hidden in unseen folds of
the larger dunes, but the mode of their
ferris ge across the lagoon was not ap-
parent, and it was hardly likely they

PREFER AUTOS TO SURVEYS.
Two Commissioners Seldom Use We.
hicles Kept for Them.

Although appropriations are available
for Surveys to be placed at the disposal of
commissioners Rudolph and Johnston, the
vehicles are seldom used, as each Com
missioner is the owner of an automobiIo
maintained at his own expense, which he
uses in Official inspection trips about the
city. The appropriations for the District
provide the use of an automobile for the
engineer department, the machine being
used in inspection work by Engineer Com
missioner Judson and the two assistant
engineer cofnmissioners-Maj. Markham
and Capt. Brooke. The automobile is en-
ployed more frequently by the two latter
officials.
The report sent by the commissioners
TO Congress Wednesday in response to
the Bristow resolution requesting that the
Senate be informed as to how many We
hicles are maintained and operated by the
District. will, upon comparison, il is be-
lieved, show that there probably are few
err vehicles operated by the District than
by any other city of its size in the coun-
try. While Commissioner Rudolph is cred
tied with a surrey, the vehicle, as ex-
planned seldom is used by the Commits
sioner- The vehicles shown in the report
to be operated by the local government
are employed almost entirely in connec-
ton with the routine business of the yari-
Gus departments of the government.

An Opportunity
TO EXAMINE THE MOST TALK
ED OF BOOK OF OUR
GENERATION.

When Cambridge University took
over the copyright of the Encyclopaedia
Britannica there passed into its keep
ing the most important educational en-
terprise that the world has ever known.
In this country alone there were
sold between 100000 and 100000 sets
of the 9th edition. The educational
benefit derived from the wide distribu-
ton of SO comprehensive guide to
learning can scarcely be overestimated.
And now. thirty years later, 1900 of
the worlds greatest scholars and ex-
perts have co-operated to produce a
new edition which gives a completely
new survey of knowledge down to the
year 1871.
The present exhibition offers the
people of Washington an opportunity
to investigate and test for themselves
the editorial excellence OF this new
work. They are not asked to Judge of
its merits from specimen pages, but
they are urged to see and use the COM
plete work itself.

TEST OF OYSTER BEDS.
Agricultural Department Bureau to
Inspect Potomac Stock.

Another inspection of the oyster beds
of the Potomac will be made by the
bureau of chemistry of the Department
of Agriculture probably about April rs
There was an inspection in search for
pollution made, ending late in March.
The Department Of Agriculture refused
to make public the result of this inquiry,
but the fact that it was made and the
results kept secret affected the local oys-
ter market seriously. Dealers and oyster
men say that the market was completely
demoralized owing to the mystery and
uncertainty with which the department
yelled its inquiry.
The coming investigation is to be fol-
lowed by another when the high water
comes in the autumn. When the result
of any of the inquiries will he made pub

be accepted, as indeed it has been &C

doing make possible the temporary low

DELIVERY FOR A WORK FOR
WHICH 10000 SUBSCRIBERS
WAITED FOR MONTHS.
The publishers have shipped to us a
carload of complete sets for immediate de-
livery. In consideration of making this
one large shipment, and thereby reducing
transportation charges to minimum, and
in consideration of selling number of
hundreds of sets within few days, and
thereby reducing the selling cost to mini
mum. the publishers have assumed deliv-
cry charges. Heretofore all applications
have been accepted on the basis of f. o. b.
New York-the subscriber paying the de-
livery charge.
During the few days of the present ex-
hibition and sale, sets will be delivered
free of charge to any point within IS miles
of Washington. This is the first time it
has been possible for subscribers to re-
ceive immediate delivery of complete sets.
The manufacturing department of the
Cambridge University Press has been un-
able from the very first announcement of
this edition to turn out sets fast enough
to keep pace with the demand Last
summer over 10000 subscribers waited
from six to eight months before receiv-
ing delivery of their sets. We are pre-
pared to fill promptly all orders placed
with us within the next few days upon re-
