strange adventures-a tiny Columbus.
with whom he embarks upon the wa

he slips through the garden gate unat-

UNCLE SANS NAVAL EXPERT.
One Who Does Nothing but Play With
Toy Rattleships.

In long, low building down near the
river In Washington there is man
who plays with toy ships on a toy
ocean. And as a result of his play he
can foretell exactly how the big battle
ships of the United States navy will
behave In storm at sea, and he can
predict to nicely how much horse
power viii be needed to drive the
great transatlantic liners laden with
their passengers and freight He does
this before even the keels of the ships
have been laid down.
He is a naval constructor In the
United States navy, and the toy ocean
on which he works is the United States
experimental model basin. The sheet
OF water in the basin is 500 feet long
and fifty feet wide, with a maximum
depth of fourteen feet.
But in this limited space the naval
expert. working with wave maker, a
dynamometer. towing bridge and
other apparatus, can solve all the me-
chanical problems connected with the
construction of ship. its probable
roll when struck by giant waves and
the horsepower needed in its tremen-
dous engines TO drive it through the
water. He works with wooden models
twenty feet long. Some of them weigh
1000 pounds. none of them more than
1000 The other countries of the
world use paraffine models. but he
works entirely with the miniature
ships of wood.
The drawings and plans OF the bat
tleships to be built by Uncle Sam are
turned over to the constructor by the
navy departments bureau of construc-
ton and repair. In little shop ad'
joining the building which covers the
model basin the models are made and
painted Bags of shot. each weighing
twenty-five pounds, are kept on hand
to bring the model up to the CORE
spending weight of the big ship. The
final tests are made In the "toy ocean

cAMPHoR'S TRAIL OF BLOOD.
The Cost In Human Lives For Gather
ing the Punsent DRUG.


Every drop Of camphor you use is
estimated TO have cost at least its

famous parts of the island of Formosa.
from which the world gets most of its
camphor. are inhabited by head hunt
Ing savages. whom the successive in
vaders Of the island have been unable
to subdue.
Ihese savages are quite alive to the
value of the camphor trees and fierce
~ oppose all attempts to get posses
sion or the forests. Their hostility
makes the gathering of camphor a
most hazardous occupation and one in
which loaded rifle is the most indis-
pensable tool.
Since the Japanese took the island
after their successful campaign against
China in the mneties they have been
carrying on a carefully conceived plan
Of gradual penetration of the valuable
camphor regions They make paths
six feet in width through the virgin
forests. At intervals of every 40
yards stands a guardhouse, and every
fourth or fifth guardhouse is a small
fort. intrenched and defended by barb
ed wire entanglements. such as are
being used on the battle grounds OF
Europe. Telephone intercommunica
ton, machine guns and all the re
sources OF western military science
are employed. and the lines are pushed
gradually forward
In spite of these elaborate precau
tons, the loss among the camphol
gatherers amounts to hundreds OF
deaths annually.
1t is calculated that Formosa con
tains about a million camphor trees
