It employs six thousand men; some of the mineral goes as far as Japan; the output of last year amounted to over a million tons. One may well be interested in the discoverer of these phosphates, in the man who has revolutionized the trade of Tunisia. He is a veterinary surgeon in the French Army Monsieur Philippe Thomas. His record is of the best.
Sharp comments were provoked by the heavy tax on strangers in Tunisia imposed by the French government, on strangers, mostly Italians, who theretofore had enjoyed the same rights as the French and Tunisians.

Protestant missionaries in Algeria and Tunisia, of whatever nationality, are supposed to be the emissaries of the British Government, and in consequence are harassed and maligned, while tourists outside the regular beat are watched.
