REALLY OF LITTLE SERVICE
HydroaeropIane Not Likely to Be
Developed, Is the Opinion of Men
Who Should Know.

There seems some reason for believ-
ing that the hydroaercplane, that is,
the aeroplane carrying a boat or float
beneath 1t for alighting on the water,
was development in the wrong direc-
ton. In the first place, such machines
cannot be made seaworthy. Even now
the aeroplane flies in winds that keep
smaller water-borne craft shut up in
port-winds kicking up such a sea that
alighting on it would be difficult if not
impossible. Secondly, the aeroplane
is steadily increasing its radius of
action,s and If past growth is any
criterion, viii eventually be able to
traverse even the Atlantic In a single
flight. The use of duplicate engines will
greatly minimize the danger of forced
alighting, and the time should not be
far distant when the accidents Of the
past due to structural weakness under
sudden strains will be as rare as they
have been common

SCAR MARKS EVERY FACE
Mysterious AffIiction That Is Common

An uncanny, pernicious pest called
the date boil'' scars the face OF every
human born in Bagdad, writes cor
respondent of the National Geographic
Magazine. Children invariably have
this dreadful sore on their faces,
Throughout the middle east this mys-
terious scourge is known by various
names-"Bouton d'Alep, Nile sore.
Delhi button" etc.
It's cause and its cure are unknown.
First faint red spot appears, growing
larger and running a course often
eighteen months long.
White men from foreign lands have
lived years in Arabia, only to have
this boil appear upon their return to
civilization, where its presence is en-
barrassing and hard to explain.
Maybe it was date boils" that Job
had! Once a British consul at Aleppo
lost almost his whole nose from one
of these boils. Nearly every Bagdad
native you meet has this date mark
on his face.

COMING LATE TO DINNER

OF INTEREST TO SHIPPERS.
Important Interstate Commerce Hear
ing to Be Held.


ing to Be Held.
Portland, Ore, June 12.-Unusual
public interest is centered in the in
terstate commerce commission hear
ing to be held in San Francisco June
p, to determine whether or not the
operation of the Great Northern Pa
cific Steamship company between
Portland, Flavel-Astoria and San
Francisco is in violation of the inter
state commerce law which prohibits
railroad corporation from owning and
controlling stock in competitive steam
ship lines. Shippers of the Northwest
are interested in the outcome for the
reason that the service afforded by
the Great Northern Pacific Steamship
company between these points is in
the nature of direct competition with
the Southern Pacific railway, which
heretofore has had virtual monopoly
of the freight-carrying business be-
tween Portland and San Francisco.
The contention of the Pacific coast
shippers is that the law under which
investigation is being made was Gre
ated for the express purpose OF pre-
venting railway companies from buy
ing competitive steamships for the
purpose of eliminating competition,
and that an adverse ruling in the case
of the Great Northern Pacific Steam
ship company would result in de-
priving the shippers and travellers OF
Portland, Seattle, Spokane and other
Washington, Montana, Minnesota,
North Dakota and California points
of the additional service which the
two passenger-express boats of the
line have furnished them.
