Those Who Know
Manufacturers and lead

recommend ZEROLENE.
The majority of motorists
use ZEROLENE.
ZEROLENE reduces
wear and gives more pow
er because it keeps its lu
bricating body at cylinder
heat. Gives less carbon
because, being refined
from selected California
asphalt -base crude, it
burns clean and goes out
with exhaust.
ZEROLENE is the cor

WHERE GREAT EMPEROR DIED
Longwood, the Prison House of Napo
leon, I Maintained Much as
He Knew It
Longwood Old House, the prison
home of Nnpoleon, is about four miles
from Jamestown, the cnpltal of St
Helena. Dismally unattractive, the
place la In about the same condition
that it was in the emperor's time. A
low rambling one-storied farmhouse,
once the dwelling of a peasant farmer
of the island, it Is hard to connect the
place with the one-time master of the
Tullerles and Versailles. But Long
wood has an air of romance and mys
tery of Its own, for It was the death
place of Napoleon.
The house Is badly lighted end ill
ventilated. The rooms are tiny and
musty. The so-called billiard room
could never have held even the small
est table and the players at the same
time. The reception room Into which
the emperor was moved when dying, Is
the pleosantest Bpot In the place, for
It boasts of more than one window. It
was In the space between the two win
dows that the death bed was placed.
Here today Is a bust of the emperor.
Visitors to Longwood sign the ancient
visitors' book In this reception room,
while the aged guide tells the story of
Napoleon's last days.
Above the first floor are the garret
rooms, little more than cubby holes,
where former statesmen and marshals
of France lived during their exile with
their master. Outside is the tiny gar
den nnd the emperor's favorite arbor.
Here is the fishpool built by his own
hands. At the foot of the plateau Is
Geranium valley, and the emperor's
tomb. It was by Napoleon's own re
quest that he was burled here. The
famous willow tree of fiction and his
tory still shadows the emperor's tomb.
In 1858 Queen Victoria presented
Longwood to Nnpoleon III, who re
stored the old place to the condition
In which the great emperor knew It.
NEED NOT SEEK POPULARITY
"Expert" May Achieve Highest Meas
ure of Success, but Naturally He
Will Never Be Loved.
There Is not much mystery, or even
any at nil, In the dislike of "experts"
that Is felt and expressed by not a few.
The expert man Is n man who goes to
other men and tells them Hint the
way In which they are doing their work
Is not the best way that It Is a bad,
costly, or even stupid way and that If
they will only listen to him and follow
bis advice their work will be Improved
and their efficiency increased.
None of us takes pleasure In hear
ing talk of that sort, and the displeas
ure Is greater In exact proportion with
length of the hearer's training nnd ex
perience In conducting his business,
trade, or art. All that the expert says
carries the Implication of adverse criti
cism directed against the recipient of
his suggestions, and usually It Is criti
cism of that recipient's father and
grandfather. Of course that is re
sented, and the resentment Is bitterest

the convenient charge that he Is not

Is true but only of the expert who

Peculiarities of Electric Ray.
The electric ray is a species of fish
found on the Pacific const. It Is known
from central California southward to
Santa Barbara channel and Is very
common in Monterey bay. This fish Is
provided with an electric orgnn com
posed of hexagonal cells, reaching from
the skin of the upper surface to thnt
of the lower, and situated at each side
of the head and gill chambers. The
electricity discharged from tills rny
bus the properties of other electricity,
such ns rendering an lrn bar mag
netic, decomposing chemicals and pro
ducing a spark, says the Amerlcnn
Angler. Stories vary as to the vol
ume of the discharge, but even a small
rny Is capable of inflicting considerable
pntn. After n few discharges the fish
becomes exhausted and must rest be
fore Its electric organs are again func
tional. Behind the Lines.
