for science.
DR.. Welch has been connected with
Johns Hopkins university fer more

that the day of large floating palaces

trouble is one of the perplexing prob

is DELAYED in the port because the mig

ship on small boat at decidedly small
Ter wages. Fuel is another problem,
and the sooner owners solve it the bet
