CORTEZ ENTERING MEXICO.

the causeway which was one of the
three to connect Tenochtitlan with
the mainland and so wide that eight
of the Spanish cavalry could ride
abreast on it. On all sides, in the
road, and in canoes on the lake, a
crowd of Aztecs gazed at the descend
ants of the god who had at last, as
they believed, carried out his promise.
At the entrance to the city they were
greeted by one thousand principal
citizens with salutations and kissing

after crossing drawbrdgc. they saw

other than the great Montezuma. es-
corted by two hundred of his courtiers.
Never has there been more i'm
prossive scene In the history of the

and the Spanish adventurer. The
picturesque surroundings, the silver
lowered city rising from the cleaning
lake, the countless hosts of galy-
dressed subjects watching in awed
silence, the maghificence of Monte
yuma and his train. the bronze, wa
worn yet fiery appearance of the
SNaniards--all these seem like page
from the arabian Nights rather
than sober history. The Spaniards,
we may be sure. realized they were
living a romance of the first order;

umph, as with swords clanking and
horses prancing they advanced into

The motor ship will operate on
about half as much as oil as the oil
burning steamer. It's engine room
force Is reduced still more-from one
to three men are sufficient; and there
are no stokers for the motor ships
mechanical staff is made w of skilled
men. A Danish motor iner, the
Fionia, recently went clear round the
globe, making q voyage of 32,0O0
miles with only one engineer
The largest motor ship yet built,
the Glenapp, recently made her trial
trip in Scotland. She is 10000 tons
dead weight, with two sets of Diesel
engines, 5000 horsepower. 1t is esti-
mated she can make from II to 4
knots an hour and run from London
to Australia and back more than half
way without replenishing fucl--that
is, going by way of Suez canal, she
could take oil in the Persian gulf and
run back there without replenishing;
while by the Panama route she would
take oil in the Mexican gulf.
This means that with the worlds
merchant fleets equipped entirely as
motor ships, from so to 90 per cent
of the bunkering stations round the
globe could be abolished; ships would
require fuel only about twice. going
round the world-or at an average OF
every six weeks. There need be no
isolated fuel stations; oil would bd
taken on only where ships called for

abruptly halted the rehearsal and
said to Dennis Eadie one Of the &C
tors: You haven't the right idea Of
this character. What I want you to
do is to suggest, if you can. a man
who has read and loved Shelley in
his youth

the rehearsal Sir James asked per-
mission Of Barker to make n sugges-
ton. Barker nodded consent
