CAPTURING ZANZIBAR,
Serio Comic Battle That, Deposed the
Gay Sultan. 80,

serio Comic Battle That Deposed the
Gay Sultan.
Zanzibar reminds every visitor of
the towns described in 1.-THE Arabian
Nights" 1t is a typical Arabian town,
and there seems to be a mystery and
a man behind every door. The
town was ruled for hundreds Of years
by a sultan until the English took
charge.
There Is still a sultan, who receives
a salary from the English govern
ment, but some day he. will be deposed,
and there will be no further pretense
of a sultan having anything to do with
the government. The old palace of
the sultan-an ugly affair, which looks
like a boarding house-is used for Of
fees by the British. Near the palace
Is the harem, now deserted, since the
present sultan has but one wife.
The sultan, who had trouble with the
English, vas educated in England and
spent much Of his time and all Of his
revenues in Paris. One day an Eng
fish gunboat sailed into the harbor,
and the captain told the gay sultan
that he had been ousted. The sultan
resented the high handed proceeding
and sent word to the defenders of his
dignity to sink the English gunboat
and put the insolent captain in the
dungeon.
There was an old fort near the pal
ace, on the walls Of which were
mounted a few rusty cannon The
defenders of the sultan tried to fire
these at the English gunboat, but they
burst, n by one, and almost wiped
out the sultan's defensive force. The
captain Of the English gunboat then
began dropping shells into the palace
and, with M solid shot, sank the sui
tan's navy-a small vessel which car
ried four guns.-F. w. Howe in Howe's
Monthly. IF

ARMoRER's TOOLS.
Fine Relics of Ancient Times In New
Works Art Museum.

Fine Relics of Ancient Times In New
Works. Art Museum.
Very few people are aware that in
complete armorer's shop. writes q. A.
Suverkrop in the American M%achinist.
1t is in the basement Of the Metropoli-
tan Museum Of Art and is equipped
with a complete outfit of. over GOO ar
morer's tools. Many of these are very
OLD having descended from master to
man or from father to son through
many generations. Their workman
ship Is excellent Where steel faces
have been welded to iron bodies tlse
YIELDS are clean and perfect, and the
junction Of iron and steel Is distin-
guishable only by the difference in lus-
ter Of the two metals.
The tempering Of the steel faces
seems to be good and uniform, as nei-
Their cracks nor dents are apparent. A
cursory glance at these tools will at
once apprise us Of the origin of many
of our modern sheet metal workers
implements. The. working faces Of all
the tools are highly polished. so that
they do not grip the metal being
worked, which 1t is free to ''slide" to
the shape desired by the armorer.
Every collection of ancient armor re-
quires technical care for its upkeep.
The objects must be kept free from
rust. occasionally ~remounted, and from
time to time RESERVATIONS must be made
to preserve these priceless specimens.
In order to carry out this work the mu-
suem has arranged the shop referred
to so that these necessary operations
may be carried on. The armorer's
tools once belonged to Daniel Tachaux,
but are now the property of the mu-
scum. MI. Tachaux brought them
to this country when he came from
Paris is 1909 to make some repairs In
the museums collection Of armor.
The outfit consists Of over 600 tools
and includes nearly 100 kinds of stakes
and a great variety OF hammers.

Ratified THE BANDIT.
Curious Experience With a Band o.
Mexican C%utthroats.

Curious Experience With a Band Of
Mexican C~utthroats.
Everybody in Mexico goes about arm
ed. Even the passenger trains on most
Of the railroads are guarded by detach-
ments Of soldiers who ride In special
cars, while on every station platform
are seen rural guards armed with cara
Dimes ready for an emergency. For
eigners have to adapt themselves to
the custom Of going about armed or
else make themselves unfavorably con-
spicuous In the eyes of the natives.
1t was a novel experience, however. to
see railroad surveyors, when occupied
with their peaceful work, armed to the
teeth with knives and revolvers. AS a
matter OF fact, arms were rarely re-
CURED in Mexico as a means of de-
Tense. AS everywhere else, 1t is well
to remember, however, to keep cool
and forget that you are armed In case
of a quarrel.
In this connection the principal locat-
ing engineer Of the road had an expe-
Renee at which he displayed some
nerve. He had to make q reconnois-
sance Of a mountain range called the
Sierra Gorda, said to be infested with
cutthroats. He was warned to let the
district alone, but duty prevailed, and
he went. When reaching a rancho
near the summit at shutdown he and
his attendant were met by four men
whose law breaking propensities re-
quired no further introduction than
their faces. They took hold Of the
party's horses, told the engineer and
his attendant to dismount and made
no effort to conceal the fact that they
were there for business.
The engineer complied smilingly, and,
going up to the leader, mystiied that
Individual by asking him to step aside.
'I am told that it is unsafe to travel
in these mountains" he whispered,
twill you not therefore oblige me by
taking care of my property and allow
US to remain under your roof until
morning" With that he handed over
his watch, money and other things,
and the astonished thief, who was
probably for the first time in his life
treated to the novelty Of being trust.
