CURIOUS item of commercial news
is that the east coast district Of the
island of ISumatra in 1913 imported
S66, S35 pounds Of second hand news
papers from the United States. I'm.
ports of the same kind of merchandise
from January 1 to September I, Of last
year, were 572,5s5 pounds.
Now, one might well. ask what on
earth the natives of Sumatra want with
old newspapers from America. They
cannot read them, and it would surely
not be worth while to transport them
all that distance for any commercial
purpose.
Inquiry at the Department OF Com
merce develops the fact that the papers
arc wanted to cover young sprouts of
rubber trees and sugar canc The
climate Of the island is mighty hot-.as
might be s1rmisei from The circum-
stance that the equator u through

aforementioned sprouts burning up in

serve the purpose very well, each sheet
being held down with stones. at, the
corners.
The Sumatran retail trade in second
hand newspapers is wholly in the hands
Of Chinese, who sell them 10 the

WHEN the armistice was signed there
re- in this country immense
quantities Of fuel oil. 1t suddenly be-
came 4 drug on the market, offered at
a very low figure, and experts strongly
advised the shipping board to lay in a
big supply while the laying in was good.
The shipping board had put oil burn
ing engines into the ships under its con-
troll, for the sake of greater steaming
radius and economy Of fuel space. 1t
had to have huge supplies Of oil. But
it refused to buy more than was needed
for current use, saying that it would
advertise for bids when the stuff was
wanted.
A few weeks ago it did so advertise,
its requirement being q, zoo, 900 bar
:rels. With great difficulty it has man
aged to obtain half this quantity at
treble the carrier price.
The oil dealers, when they found it
difficult to dispose Of their stock, went
to New England and persuaded many Of
the big manufacturers in that section to
abandon coal (which was dear and
sometimes hard to get) and put in oil
burning engines. Thus a large demand
for fuel oil has been created in q new
quarter.
The United States navy is at pres
ent in much the same fix as the shipping
board. 1t needs vast quantities of fuel
oil for warships, and the indispensable
fluid does not seem to be Forthcoming.
The oil men are not very friendly to
the government, because, they say, it
took a lot of their product during the
war at an, unfairly low price, fixed
by itself.
Secretary Daniels now threatens to
commander the oil he needs. But the
situation is difficult. If the much.
talked-o government coil reserve" in
California could be developed, the sit
uation might be relieved. That project,
however, is as yet inchoate; and, in

TO very curious and interesting expe-
dent. They dug out gaps in its banks
IN a number Of places and therein but
battleships, of obsolete pattern but for
mldabfy gunned, to- serve as forts.
AS Allenby's army advanced a rail-
road was built, keeping pace with it,
to facilitate transportation. In the
beginning, before the pipe line was con
structed, water was carried by camels
to the workers and the troops guarding
them, in tanks of galvanized iron. As
the railroad progressed the water was
forwarded by rail and siphoned into
canvas reservoirs erected in convenient
places.
These reservoirs were called ''water
Dumps" and were made Of water
PROCEED white or green canvas. their
average capacity being about 23O0 GAL
Ions. From them the water was ST.
phoned into camel borne iron tanks for
distribution to the troops.
The railroad was built in stretches
Of hive to ten miles and at the end of
each stretch wells were sunk to pro.
cure water for the horses and camels.
Then a small party of engineers would
60 ahead, protected by mounted troops,
and search for water.
This method was pursued after the
pipe line, which was carried steadily
ahead. through the desert, had been put
into operation. for it, was very desir-
able to. economic the supply Of drink
ing water for the soldiers. and the ami
mails could get along well enough with
the somewhat brackish fluid derived
from wells.
Experience proved that the most
likely place to look'f for water was at the
foot of one of those, high sand dunes
which. driven by wind, are perpetuslly
though slowly travelling over the desert.
Such a dune has a steep side-which is
the side away from the prevailing wind
and at the bottom of this sand cliK
was a good place to dig.
1t was found that a horse would
drink water with six parts Of salt in
1000. A camel will accept water with
fifteen parts Of salt in 1000.
When Allcnby's forces got as far az
the Judean hills the problem Of water
solved itself in an entirely different way.
1t was still the %rainless season aud the
country was so rocky as to offer little
opportunity for well digging. But,
happily. during the march toward Je!
rusalem much rain water was found
stored from the previous winter in
curious "cisterns'' followed out Of the
rock. These are in many cases natural,
