The skink is not a--well, It Is need
less to say-as his name. would indi-
cate He does not belong to the cat
family. His scientific name Is Leoseps
reynoldsi. The skink is like an elon.
gated lizard. He has four legs which
he does not use, they having become
paralyzed from the lack of exercise.
Therefore DR.. Steneger claims that
the skink Is a Stand-patter and not q
Progressive. He gets hts food by "
ing in wait, with his sticky tongue
extended, for something to come along.
He lives by waiting and hauling In.
The sinks remote ancestors walk
.ec. The present day specimen walks
not, nor does he fly, but twins In the
sand, where he lives.
The only resemblance Of the skink
tt the bull moose is that he diyes
The moose is fond OF certain roots,
and to get them he throws himself
headlong into lakes. The skink dives
in the sand for insects.
From the standpoint of the aEien-
fists this skink is interesting because
he resembles the skinks found in Per-
sic and the Mediterranean, making
the old world and the new closer kin.

high-speedi motor ships should be not
only possibl, but forthcoming in a
very short space of time.
So successful has the voyage of the
Selandia proved that the Danish East
sAsiatic Co. has placed an order for
three other motor ships of greater
tonnage. 1t is reported that a sister
ship to the Selandia has recently been
sold to one of the principal German
steamship companies.
In this connection it is interesting
to note that it is stated royal COM

be appointed In the United Kingdom
to consider the introduction of oil fuel
or of heavy-oil motors into the Brit

of the exhaust chambers above decks.
"The fuel consumption fell consid-
erably below that estimated by the
builders. On the home voyage the Sc
landia averaged ten nautical miles an
hour on q consumption a 8.5 tons OF
oil day, and the charge of Bornean
oil taken on board at Singapore is
confidently asserted to be sufficient
for the round journey. The owners
find that suitable oil can be purchas-
ed at much more reasonable rates at
Singapore than in any European port.
The opening up of all gears and bear
ings at Copenhagen on the completion
OF the round journey and the sirspec-
ton by Lloyd's representatives at that
port showed that everything was in
perfect order, and that no parts had
suffered undue strain. The tempera-
,ture of the water cooling the cylinders
at no time exceeded 40.6 degrees Cen
tigrade. although SO degrees had been
previously established as working
maximum.
In the opinion of the chief engineer
of the Selandia the motors are greatly
superior to the steam engine for ease
of control and working. I see no
reason whatever" he remarked, why

The voyage Of the motor ship Sc
landia has been followed with much
interest in England. 1t is. the first
passenger and cargo vessel which has
made so long journey entirely indie
pendent of the use of steam power
The voyage just completed covered
q, 500 miles.
The London press recently contain
ed the following comment:
I'm spite of the fact that the vessel
embodies many new principles and
was strange to its engineers, only one
slight adjustment of the exhaust
valves, involving fifteen minutes rest
for the engines, was found necessary
during the entire trip. In all matters
of fuel consumption, ease of maneu-
yer, and general behavior the vessel
far exceeded expectations. Very few
alterations in design are suggested by
the experiences of the engineers on
the maiden trip. and these relate chief
iy to the heat radiated from the ex-
haust, which affected the temperature
Of the engine room. The trouble has
been corrected on the Selandia by the
installation of supplementary fans
and ventilators, and will be avoided
in future boats by the natural cooling
