According to figures and estimates
furnished by John Ball Osborne. chief
Of the bureau of trade relations, de-
partment of state. Washington, "about
100000 Americans went abroad during
the last fiscal year and spent fully
$200,O00O00 on passage across the At

purposes" Mr.. Osborne thinks that
probably another S200,O00O00 is drop

be held in Baltimore next May, is pri-

Another MISSING Picture.

The disappearance of Mona Lisa"
suggests the question, What has be-
come of Leonardo da Vinci's other
famous picture, the ''Leda?" 1t was one
of five pictures from the brush Of
that master acquired by Francis L.,
and it used to hang with the others in
the palace of Fontainebleau. There is
a detailed description of it, written in
1855, by LobazZo. who classes it with
Mona Lisa" as one of Leonardos few
completely finished paintings. Pous-
sins friend. Cassiano del POZZo, re-
marked it at Fontainebleau in 1925,
and it is duly mentioned in a cata-
logue des galleries printed in 1894.
From that date onward, however, no
photographed trace of it can be dis
covered. There is no record Of it hav-
ing been destroyed, stolen or lost. 1t
has simply vanished from view, and
no one has the least idea where it
has gone.-Westninster Gazette.

Ire New Army Uniform.

The war department will begin to is
Sui the rew uniform and equipment as
soon as the supply of any size or ar
tile OF the old is eXhaus. ed. No more
old uniform or equipment will he pur
chased by the quartermaster's depart
ment. nor will any new equipment be
issued until all of the Old has been
used. AS the result it will be years be-
fore all of the old uniform or equip
ment disappears from the service. 1t
may be common sight to see soldier
wearing q khaki coat and olive drab
trousers. The same will be true of
bats and shoes. In the same regiment
or even in the same company there
will frequently appear both the old
and the new style of campaign hat. In
former years, when the war depart
ment got ready to issue new uniform
or equipment. all of the old styles were
discarded and the supply on hand was
sold at auction. BY this system the
war department has not been able to
secure anything like cost price for old
uniforms. This has been a source of
great expense in changing equipment
and uniform and greatly increased the
cost Of maintaining the army. In this
change the war department has decid-
ed to sacrifice appearance in the inter-

IunnN Fish and luna.

Just the fact that q fish important
enough TO weigh more than quarter
of a ton has two names-tuna and
tunny-all for itself, has been the
cause of much discussion lately. 1t
has been doubted whether the gamy
tuna of California could be the same
as the great oily funny of New Eng
land, which since last year has been
caught invading the still waters of
New Jersey. But that is the truth.
The word tuna is Spanish and is ap-
piled to the more active member of
the family that abounds near the
Catalina islands. But the cOarser
funny. or "horse mackerel.'' of the At
lantic is only a big boorish brother.
The appearance Of this fish in New
Jersey waters is considered anomalous
by the aquarium experts.-New York

THE jury had been out for thirty
weary hours, and every ballot showed
eleven votes for conviction and one
for acquittal. The jurors labored and
argued with the odd man. but he was
