The Standardization of Ships
~ JANIS II SCOTT.

This new movement taking place in
the shipbuilding industry along the
Atlantic seaboard OF the United States
bids fair to attain far-reaching results
IL means keeping pace with the enOr-
nous demand for ocean freight car
riers brought about by the changes
the great war in Europe has made in
commerce.
Vessel stock is being acquired al
prices beyond precedent and the supply
is far behind the demand. Something
like sos and sl25 a ton has been given
for Old ships that cost perhaps only
SEQ a ton 20 build.
70 may be a long way TO Tip
perary, but there Is a turn in the
road somewhere. The upbuilding of
the American merchant marine IS
here to stay. Let private capital know
where the big profits come from in
vestment and the story IL soon told.
II is something like the answer the
school boy gave HIS teacher TO a ques-
ton:
Johnny" said the teacher TO one
or her brightest pupils, "if there are
thirteen sheep In lot and seven jump
over the fence. how many are lett!'
None" replied the boy.
Now, Johnny. none left? Think
again"
"Well,r said the boy after pause.
you may know a great deal about
arithmetic, but you don't know any
thing about sheep. If seven go so viii
the other six"
So Il is with capital. Il is the sheep
Of trade. What signifies six or ten per
cent. dividends on stock when 100 or
more per cent can be made by jump
ing the fence?
In the decade OF the SOS the splen-
did clipper ships of the United States
carried n broom at the foremasthead
and the Stars and Stripes at the miz..
zen peak, indicating the supremacy OF
the seas. Then cargo capacity was
sacrificed for speed. just as now, speed
becomes secondary TO cargo, capacity
ranging from 900 20 10000 tons bur-

USE BUZZARD AS A!RPlANE
Rice Birds Take Free Rides Apparent
ly for the Pure Fun Of
the Thing.

Size and strength are popularity as
among the lower animals, but I'm many
eases this is far from being the case,
particularly In the bird world. Among
the rice flats OF the Carolinas. there
abound at some seasons tiny rice birds,
birds so small that IL takes two dozen
for good meal even though bones
and all are eaten.
The great huzzard Is found circling
over the flats at all times. He breads
the time for the rice bird to come,
for he Is then nearly peStered to
death. 1t Is common sight to see
one Of these tiny creatures fly up to
buzzard, and. after lodging this way
and that around the awkward bulk.
finally alight well forward between the
buzzard's wings on the back. Here
the little passenger grabs few feath-
ers I'm his beak and holds on for grim
life. After enjoying ride for as
long az he desires, the little fellow
hops or and is gone.
The peculiar feature OF the whole
performance Is that apparently the
only purpose the rice bird has In get
ting on the back of the buzzard is to
take free ride. 1t puzzles every one
who chances to see the little play TO
find any other reason; yet the fact
remains that II is n frequent occur
renee. and the little birds seem to en-
JOY II hugely.

MAN MERELY POOR SECOND

9I2 minutes. That was at the rate of
nearly two miles minute. To be pre-

For n much less distance "a slightly
higher speed was made by an army
airplane between Boston and New

In 2S.45 seconds, or more than lS5
feet second
That is rapid travelling. IT Is not,
however the swftieSt aerial flight
known. A swallow could liter; lily fly
round and round one of thos, air
planes when the latter was at top
speed. Carefully conducted tests by
French scientist have demonstrated
that the speed of swallow in full
flight sometimes goes as high as 900
feet second, or mt the rate of a mile
in IS seconds, while the ordinary flight
of swallow is 21O feet a second or
considerably faster than the airplane.

"muQwump,"

The modern word mugwump is de-
rived from the Algonquin "mug-
quomp." meaning great man. a
chief, and is said to have been used
among the Indians and whites of
Massachusetts and Connecticut in the
seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
The word was later used in humor-
Gus, or satirical sense, and was np-
piled to a person who thought him
self OF consequence and Importance.
In this sense the word was long In
local use and often appeared in print.
In U. s. political history the term was
first apple, in 1884 to the independent
members OF the Republican party who
openly refused to support the nomi-
nees OF the party for president OF the
United States, and either voted for
the Democratic or Prohibition party or
abstained from voting. The word was
not generally known In any sense be-
fors that time. but II caught the popu-
lar fancy and was at once accepted
by the independents themselves as an
honorable title.

stand for total abstinence. Later. as

Platinum Wonderful Metal.

The American Museum OF Natural
History has issued bulletin giving
many interesting facts relating TO
platinum, one Of the most striking Of
which relates to its duCtility. The
marvellous ductility OF platinum may
be conceived when we consider that
out Of single troy ounce of the metal
II would be possible to make an al
most infinitely slender wire that would
reach from Santiago, Chile. across the
continent to Rio Janeiro. a distance OF
about ! 800 miles. To draw out plat
mum into so exceedingly fine a wire IL
Is covered with thin layer OF gold.
This wire is drawn to the thinness Of
the former one. and the gold is dis
solved. A small section OF this sec
ond wire Is then given a coating OF
gold. redrawn and the gold covering
dissolved. After this process has been
repeated several times the wire finally
is still intact, but virtually invisible.

hope to be graceful when wearing
them, for the body Is thrown out OF

Attachable Lamps.

A new electric lamp will not only
stand wherever IL is placed on a fiat
surface. but the base also comprises a
clip which may be clamped on any pro-
)ect'ng edge or post. Also the lamp
may he hung on the wall or placed on
Nat surface, using the clip as base.
Since practically all articles Of furni-
ture have either an edge, post or a
nat surface, IL is possible tn use this
lamp almost anywhere. As the clamp
is fc'tnned, there is no danger Of
scratching or denting polished sur.
faces.
