WHEN BUCCANEERS
 REIGNED SUPREME E

The importance of the island of St. Thomas. Danish West Indies. arises from the fact that the harbor on the south side of the island, on whose borders the town of Charlotte Amalie is located, is one of the finest in all tropical America. From the days Of the buccaneers its strategic advantage has been realized. for when the Span ish Main was the happy hunting ground of the gentlemen Of the Black Flag. this harbor was their headquart- CTS. Behind it's outer hills the pirate craft found shelter from the open sea and were well screened from the sight of passing ships until the moment came to bounce down upon them. In more recent times 1t has played the role Of safe harbor for the thousands of vessels bound from Europe to Pna- anna and surrounding territory. or vice versa. With a free port. where re- pairs, ships stores and coal might be had. upon which there had been no levy Of tariff duties. the shipping world found the harbor of Charlotte Amalie an attractive way station on most ot it's Caribbean routes.-National Geo graphic Magazine.

WHAT Is ABSOLUTE ZERO

Absolute zero, a term often used in scientific articles. means the point at which no heat exists. Hot and cold are relative terms. Ice may be warm when compared with frozen mercury at 50 uegrees centigrade. for in reality hot end cold are only varying degrees of warmth, and a body absolutely cold would be one from which all heat was absent. Its temperature then would be at absolute zero Absolute zero is assumed to be at -27S degrees cent grade This point has never been act ually reached.

state editors in their reports of the
late editorial convention. The report
of the editorial committee on resolu-

Stephen Leacock in Harper's Week
ly: 1t is an amazing fact, but it is
nevertheless true, that Mr.. Rudyard
Kipling or Sir James Barrie, or, let US
say, ex-President, Eliot of Harvard,
would fail hopelessly in English in the
entrance examinations of any Amer
lean or Canadian university. King
George, from whom presumably the
Kings English flows as from it's foun-
tain source, might get perhaps half
way through a high school in the sub
ject. AS for Shakespeare, doubt if
he knew enough Of what is called Eng
fish by our education departments to
get beyond a kindergarten. AS to
passing an examination of one Of his
own plays, such as is set by our. coll
leges for matriculation, he couldn't
have done it; he hadn't the brains,,
at least not the kind of brains that are
needed for it. These are not ,exagger-
ations; they are facts. I admit that
when the facts are not good enough,
always exaggerate them. This time
they don't need it.

high esteem by men Of all parties, but
he had not the opportunity of render

would justify the erection of his stat
