Undersea Pipe Line for OH.

Tank steamers are loaded with oil on the Mexican coast by means of un, dersea pipes, sometimes over a mile long. The record Is broken by two lines each two and one-hnlf miles long recently installed about seventy miles south of Tampico. This method of load ing is made necessary by the character of the coast in the vicinity of the oil fields. There are no harbors deer enough to accommodate tank vessels and the water alongshore is shallow for a mile or more out to sea. The oil pipes lie on the sea bottom and con nection Is made with the tank ship al the outer end by means of flexible metnl hose. The line Is fully connect ed on shore and is then lowed out tC sea by a tug.-Literary Digest.

Elder Ducks,

1 Elder ducks are numerous every- where in Norway. Being the produc- prs of the valuable eiderdown, a etaple article of trade in Norway, they are vigorously protected by law, and are in consequence so tame as in nany places to approximate a domes- hc fowl. The birds are regarded with Bar from friendly eyes by the fisher men, by reason of the damage they york among the spawning beds of the bsh. Lobsters in particular suffer se- Eerely from their devastations.
