SEA sLEDs FOR AlRPLANEs
a,..d a, Giant Floats Makes the
Waking OF From Small Space .
Matter Of Ease..

Giant sea sleds capable Of carrying
airplanes out in midocean are being
developed, by Boston concern. Some
are equipped with four motors. total
ing 1850 horsepower. and have q
speed of 55 miles an hour.
In the event Of war with q foreign
nation these sea sleds would be util-
lied to transport heavy bombing
planes across the ocean. Thousands
could be sent at comparatively low
cost. @
while it is possible for an airplane
to leave the deck Of. a sea sled. there
Is not sufficient room for landing to
be made. The flying machine would
have to, work out its own salvation
once it's wheels left the sled.
These sea sleds are built to lift and
run on the surface Of the water. When
speed Of so miles an hour is reached
4 1t is possible for an airplane to open
It's motors and leave the deck without
any further runway.
Experiments made off the New Eng
land coast show that small airplane

BARBADOS: ISLAND OF
VAST RESOURCES

Barbados is one Of the most inter-
esting and least known Of the pos
sessions Of Great Britain.
Fear-shaped, solitary, farthest east
Of the West Indies. Barbados general
~ Is accounted the most healthful of
the group. even though it ID the most
populous country In the world, per
square mile, except China, and George
Washington carried to his grave the
MARKS Of smallpox contracted on u
visit there.
The island-there is but one despite
the misleading plural. name-is but an
eighth the size Of our Rhode Island,
but has twice as many inhabitants
per square mile as our smallest and
most densely populated state.
Seldom does volcano become an
asset, but volcanic eruptions have con-
tributed largely to the fertility Of Bar
bados. When the sun was obscured
throughout one day in May. 1912, the
Barbadans were panic stricken, but
when the gentle rain of black dust
subsidized, the deposit was found to
be ashes from an eruption of st. Vim
cent Soufriers, nearly 100 miles to the
west, which enriched the soil.
Long before that time. though. Bar
bados was productive. Oldest of Brit
ish colonial possessions except New
fOundland, 1t also was the first place
in the British empire where sugar
cane was planted. It's average crop
Of this now high-priced commodity is
$4,000 tons. 1t also has 1000 acres
planted in sea-island or long-staple
cotton; raises 10000 punches yearly Of
the Chinese banana, and exports mo-
lasses.
One phenomenon of Barbados has
not been accounted for. For years
the s0-called Barbados Coffin Story"
furnished mystery which would in
terest present-day psychic investiga-
tors. In the yard Of a church near
Oistin's Town is churchyard burial
vault, hewn from rock and arched with
cemented stone. A woman was buried
there in lead coffin, according to
Barbadan custom. Several years later
when the vault was opened again to
receive another body, the coffin had
been removed from its original po-
sition. Upon the second occasion spe-
cial precautions were taken to seal
the vault. Several times thereafter,
though seals were unbroken and there
seemed no other mode of entering
the solid rock and masonry, the cof-
fins were displaced. Finally the mouth
Of the vault was cemented, and when
1t was time to receive another body
officials of the island and an i'm
mense crowd gathered for the cere-
mony. Once more all the leaden cask-
ets were found to have been disturbed
and the family had their dead removed
to another burying ground, No satis-
factory solution Of these strange &C.
currences has been offered.
A natural curiosity of Barbados is
the "Animal Flower Cave" the So
called flowers being sea worms.
Not SO agreeable are the Mauchineel,
or poison trees, along the shores,
whose leaves blister the skin and con-
taminate the water.

potentially, big game enthusiasts will
be interested in this description Of pre-
historic big game, quoted from COM
munication to. the National Geographic
society by Barnum Brown:
To-day we must go to Africa for the
biggest game; but there was time
in the dim distant past when America
produced animals larger than any now
living. That was so long ago that
nothing remains of these creatures ex-
cept their bones, and they are turned
to stone.
1.-THE animals are dinosaurs; for
the moment we will call them lizards
not the creeping, crawling kind, but
huge reptiles that stalked upright
through the jungles, rivaling in size
the elephant, the hippopotamus and
the rhinoceros.
1.-THE place is Alberta, Canada. and
the time Of their existence 100000
years ago.
"In these marshes of prehistoric
times dwelt host of reptiles, some
large, some small and of various forms.
flesh eaters and herb eaters, but all
sharing certain characters in common
and known as dinosaurs. Not any
were closely related to any living rep
tile, yet they had some characters
common to the lizards, crocodiles and
birds. f s.-G
"Of the kinds characteristic Of the
period one species, herb eater named
Trachodon, was more than 80 feet long
and about Is feet high when standing
erect. Its head, with broadly-expand-
ed mouth, resembles that of duck.
but back of the beak there are more
I than 1000 small teeth. disposed In
many vertical rows each containing
several individual teeth, the new ones
coming up from below as the old ones
wore out.
s'The long hind legs terminated In
three large-hoofed toes and the short
er. slender front feet were partly
webbed. A long, thin. slender tail act
ed as powerful swimming organ, and
the body was covered with rough tu-
berculate skin. Having no means OF
defense, it lived chiefly in the water.
where it was free from attacks Of the
flesh eaters"

CONNECTICUT cHURCnEs ARE
 WORKING STRONGLY ON Dgry

Church organizations in two of the irn- portant Connecticut denominations start ed on Sunday afternoon the work of rais- ting their denominational quotas under tho Interchurch World Movement plan. These are the Baptists. whose objective in Connecticut is over g. .000 00G, and the ConGreca ti0r9lists. who need to raise in Connecticut S2T5.eo9, as their share of the $3,oG9 000 quota for the country.
 In many cases the plan was an every member canvass which. was practically completed on Sunday afternoon and ev- ening. Some of the churches who work on this plan report their work finished with their quotas subscribed or over subscribed. The Baptists, whose task is heavier, will in most cases take more time but report good progress for the first two days. One of the largest churches in Hartford raised one-third of it's quota of s150,0o0 on Sunday after noon. All of them have attacked the task with the utmost courage and have good confidence in success
 In connection with the special church campaigns. teams-some of them made up of the church workers, others of spe- cial committees locally appointed-are working on the Class B, or Friendly Git izen, lists in connection with the church canvasses. All of the money subscribed on this plan is to be divided among the i churches for their denominationaI work in proportion to the size of the denom- nations participating
 While a few of the communities in i Connecticut have. for special reasons, not joined in the general Interchurch | World Movement canvass, there are 1 hardly any cases where the denomina- tional work is not being put on, so that practically every community in the state | is participating in this great general | canvass.
