Captain Andrews, the Lone Voy-
ager,' Is Now Making
Preparations.

Captain William ~ andrews is prepar-
Ing for another trip across the ocean in u
small boat In spite of the hardships he
has endured, it is his intention To attempt
the passage this time in an eleven-foot
folding canoe. lie has already attempted
the periious trip seven times and sue
ceeded IN getting across four times.
When the famous lone voyager'' starts
on his coming trip from some place in the
vicinity of Boston about the list OF next
June. he Will have for company Charles

known for his high diving feats, Each

Will be allowed, II sails and oars and
currents do not serve, 10 swim. II he cares
to- and tow his boat along.
BISney'S boat Will be called the Acme,
nnd Captain Andrews boat the Dark Sc
cret. this latter being the name OF the
boat that he crossed in dozen years
ago. The boats to be used next summer
are the invention of Captain Andrews,
and weigh about fifty pounds each.
The objective point of the trip will be
Glasgow, and Andrews hopes to get there
in time for the exhibition. allowing him-
self about forty-five dnys for the voyage
across. From this country he will first
make for the Azores, going thence to
Spain and from the latter country to
Glasgow.
Each boat will be so constructed that
at night the rudder may be locked and the
sails set. that the journey may be con-
tfnued while the skipper sleeps. Hollow
keeIs, filled with sand will be used on
the boats. md CAPTAIN Andrews thinks
these Will make it impossible for the
boats to remain bottom side up. even it
they should capsize.
Food and water will Zoe carried in air
tight cans and among his supplies Cap
tain Andrews will have some OIL for use
in the water in stormy weather.-Phiia-

JOHN CHINAMAN'S Pig TAIL.
Why the Acknowledged Celestial We ar

Nhy does the Chinaulan wear a queue.
Can any one answer off hand why, or
give any reasonable answer to the ques-
tiCn?
\ few indeed, might vaguely murmur
something about "a badge of subservience
70 the Manchurians," but the limit of their
information would be quickly reached.
To answer the question properly one
must go back into the history or Chlhia
and even of the world for many centuries
When primitive man first discovered tiiat
the weak could rule the strong-and that
was very early, indeed, in the history OF
the race-he was possessed OF more nsir
than was conducive to his comfort.
He had Just learned to wear the skins
of animals as d protection against the
cold. and perhaps it was more Utility IMAM
vanity which caused the desire 10 rid NM
self OF his supertiuity of hair That hair
had a habit of twininS itself ABOUT the
branches of the trees and impeding MS
movements as ne sought safety from wild
beast or human foe Clearly he must rid
himself of that hair or take the Sonse-
ouerces Primitive man began to think
The. result of thought upon the question
was the use of sharp stones The strong
man of the community set the FASHION.
he simply cut away the hair from his
forehead and made the rest of 1T into
pIait at the back. So pleased was ne with
his improved appearance that he permit
ted his friends and allies to initiate MIN,
compelling the weak TO shave off all their
hafr as a token of their servitude TO their
stronger brethren
As time went on the strong man shaseh
a larger surface and merely allowed q
tuft OF hair to remain. The slaves were
allowed to do the same. but instead OK
a tuft, their heads displayed a long queue
which hung far down the back. This prae-
tics. prevailed in Central Asia. ahthoush
the Chinese did not follow 1t. while their
proud neghbors. the Tartars, compelled
All their subjects TO yield to 1t.
AS early as 90T the Tartars had con-
ouered a part of China. and in 1911 they
