The oIeomsrgarine tax instead OF
being raised should be repealed. II was

repeal IL advocated by the revenue de-

the makers. but by the users of

FLOATING MASS OF PUMICE NEAR

A mass of floating pumice, some five miles in width ana of unknown length, was encoun- tered by d party which was re- gently cruising in ten ton mo torboat among the Fiji islands and other groups Pumice is lava having frothy or spongy struc- ture which has been thoroughly permeated by gases. Ii is often so porous. as. to float on the water for a Considerable time after be- ing ejected from volcano, but ater it's. pores are filled with wa ter 1t sinks to the bottom, its specific gravity being nearly two and one half times that of water. The edge of the unusually large mass discovered by these voyag- CTS seemed like floating froth and dust, and the boat moved through It easily. But later on there was difficultygin making headway, and at times the craft was brought almost to a standstill. The pro- peller could be heard striking hard Jumps at each revolution and occasionally the pilot steered to one side to avoid solid masses, as much as 4 feet in diameter. In some places the pumice was so compact that native was able to stand on a small plank thrown on the top ol it. The spongy mater ial clogged the pipes of one of the engines, which had to be talk en apart for repairs. It took near ly two hours to pass through this floating mass, which on the sides, reached as far as the eye could see.
