As Large at Long Island. The Island, about the same sl7,e In iipiare miles as Long island, is of a different shape, being shorter and much broader. It Is one of tirent l'-rit-uln's protectorates.

The bodies of dead slaves were fre sueutly put out on the beuch by Avals too Inhuman to give them burial, and animals who had died were disposed of in the same fashion. liutli water was informally evicted through harem windows, and all the wanton wuste of the cooking department In large Arab houses was bunked up by the kitchen doors. There Is a tendency to thut sort of thing still, but Zanzibar's West ern health officers have removed Sir Ulchurd Hurton's reproachfully apt epithet of filth In connection with Zan zibar town. Cloves Are Its Salvation. Hut the third and last phase of In dustry In Zanzibar has been Its salvu tlon, and wdll keep It alive as u place of Importance long after Mombasa has caught up with and passed It as the center for general trade and the entrepot for the African hinterland. Tills last phase Is clove cultivation, and the history of the clove In Zunzl bur Is a record of such pluck und fore sight ns may well teach a lesson to the proud Saxon who considers his race a monopolist of both qualities. In 18(10 un A rub named Telitn bin Isse came up lvom Muurltlus with a hundful of cloves In his pocket and 1!0( plants to put Into his shatnba. His Idea of agriculture was very unique, and he only Intended to persevere In clove culture If he could depend on a crop after every neglect nryl affront had been offered his trees. Their beauty (cloves ure a kind of myrtle and exquisite In appearance) excited the Interest of Said Hurgash, nbout to become Zanzibar's sultan, and be wrote at once to the Moluccas to obtain the llnest plants which could be bought for money. Two Dutch ships brought them In an unusually short time, and the sul tan, the most remarkable man Zanzi bar lias ever produced or associated I with Its fortunes, sent out numbers of I his henchmen to comnel laborers from I every side to get the plants into the soil Immediately. He had read up the whole subject In a book of French au thorship, which lie hud caused to he written out In Arable, and saw that tin1 enterprise had a great mercantile future for Zanzibar, lie knew that the island's supremacy as a trade center would pass, and lie hoped to make It, with l'embn, the extremely fertile but rather uninteresting Island to Zanzi bar's north, paramount in the world of spices. In 1S712 a cyclone blew over Zanzi bar, which uprooted all the clove trees and blew the coconuts tint to the earth without breaking them. Many clove trees were blown Into the sea; many were broken off short. Within a week after the storm Said Hurgash was rounding up his laborers again ami sending hither and yon for plants, which lie presented to the poorer Arabs, who had seized on the Idea of n crop which could be sold to Euro peans, and had put their ull Into the purchase of plants and slaves for their culture. Krotn that second planting conies the great bulk of the world's clove supply today, and when one realties that th least output of cloves per an num lias amounted (from Zanzibar alone) to SO.tXKt bales and the great est output to 'JUO.iKM, and when one furthermore realizes that the govern ment claims as tax one bag out of each ihe. one may catch a vista of llui'gnsh's ilream, and concede that ; Ihe Oriental bus In part the greatest of nn-ntal attributes imagination, j One mi.;ht write a hook on Zanzibar. uinl in II. e hurry of its beauties and t tie horrors of Its mvsterious cuius 1 i replies like the smallpox epidemic or t'.e bubonic plague, forget to tell the of its wonders.

Higgins is troubled with an over weening curiosity about other people's affairs. Occasionally, however, he comes a cropper, much to the delight of those whom he has been in the habit of vic timizing. The other day he met Smithers In a tramcar. "Busy, eh?" he Inquired in an off hand way. "Yes," said Smithers. "Eeen buy ing a horse for my wife." "Have you?" said the other, his curi osity at once thoroughly aroused. "Well, let me give you some points." "Oh," said the other, "I concluded the bargain.' "Not without trying him, surely? Was he sound In wind and limb?" "lie appeared to be," was the reply. "Doesn't he jib?" "N-no, I reckon not." ".Stands without hitching?". "Y-yes, I think so." "Good gait?" But here Smithers got up to leave the car. As be reached the door he called over his shoulder to Higgins: "I forgot to mention the kind of horse my wife wanted. It was a clothesiior.se." TRAFFIC HALTS FOR PIGEON New York Crossing Policeman Sees That Thirsty Bird Gets Drink on Pavement. Traffic was heavy and the policeman signaled, shouted, frowned and grinned according to the changing character of the four-way crowds. The white sig nal flashed and waiting drivers pre pared to throw in tlteir gears and speed north or south. But the arm of the law warned them back. They craned around their windshields to find out the trouble. The policeman with arm still uplifted was gazing at a shal low pool of rainwater in the hot pave ment, says the New York Sun and Globe. "That bird shall have her chance," he growled at the nearest car. "She's tried to get a sip of water four times and what with all the pedestrians and cars and other Interferences she's like to die of thirst." The pigeon sipped peacefully, rais ing its sleek throat each time for the drink to slip down more smoothly. Then It waddled haughtily away. The policeman's arm came into ac tion and a satisfied grin spread over his ruddy cheeks. "Come along now, with your noisy cars!" he invited. "What's detaiuin' ye?" Vacuum Cleaner "Blows" Organ. In a church where an ordinary reed organ with pedal-operated bellows was used, it was desired to install an elec tric blower. As the reeds of such an organ are sounded by suction, the air being exhausted from the wind chest by the bellows, it was found that a com mon vacuum sweeper could easily be made to do the work. A small hole was cut in the wind chest, and the end of the vacuum cleaner hose in serted, the connection being made air tight. The cleaner itself was set in the basement where it could not be heard while running. The result was entirely satisfactory, the cleaner do ing the work Just as well as an expen sive electric blower. I'bil H. Brehmer, Rutland, Vt. His Luck Was in. Signup Marconi tells in London Tit Bits an amusing story concerning an applicant for a job at an electric pow er station whose knowledge was small, to put it mildly. The busy foreman of works, wish ing to learn what were his qualifica tions for the post, led off by asking him what was ordinarily used as a conductor of electricity. Applicant (all at sea) Why er Foreman Wire. Correct ! Now tell me what is the unit of electric power. Applicant The what, sir? Foreman Exactly, the watt. Veny good ; that will do. You may sign on for the job. Flicker Is Your Friend. The red-shafted flicker or wood pecker is a persistent enemy of the ant family, says Nature Magazine. Many kinds of ants are extremely harmful. As wood borers they destroy timber and Infest houses. Worst of all, they protect and care for many aphides or plant lice, which are tle greatest enemies of trees, plants and shrubs. As many as 5.000 ants and ant eggs havs been found in the stom ach of a single flicker. Seek and Ys Shall Find. Ash barrels and garbage cans may contain treasures. Many years ago - New York man named Crawford who was visiting te national tapltal hap pened to notice an extra large peach stone in a garbage can that was stand ing on the curb, aDd he wrapped it in a piece of paper and carried it back home with him. He planted it and the seedling that came from that stone was the source of all the excel lent Crawford peaches in the world.
