BROUGHT BACK SAD MEMORY
Little Wonder That Comedian Could Not Lcok on Buns With Any
 Degree of Affection.

"1 never eat buns," the comedian said sadly, they remind me of hor- rible experience I had Once." The listeners drew near, thrilled by the tenseness of his tones. "I was on a ship in midOcean," went on the comedian dramatically. "Her cargo was self-raising flour and cur rants, and a touring theatrical party. Suddenly, in the dead of night, we ran into an iceberg.
 '"There were no boats, so things look ed very desperate for us. The huge waves dashed over the sides and down the hatchways.
 Then we heard a curious noise. The water had got to the self-raising flour and presently 1t began to ooze up in large blobs, like buns, with the cur rants mixed up in 1t. "As the great Jumps of dough floated
 on the water the heat of the sun baked
 them hard. I got on top of one of the
 biggest and flOated away from the
 sinking ship.
 But, alas! the ocean whereabouts
 was full of sharks and they seemed to
 like my bun. Anyway, they nibbled and nibbled at it, and daily 1t grew less, until had hardly room to hang
 on. I got washed ashore just when
 there were only two bites of bun left
 for them.
 "Ever since then" he ended, with
 sigh, "I haven't been able to look at
 a bun without shivering."

KNOW LITTLE ABOUT EARTH
DweIiers on This Globe Have Shown No Curiosity Concerning Possible
 Wonders of It's Interior.

The earth's crust Is compared to the skin of an apple by the writer of leading article in the Scientific American Monthly. Our knowledge of the globe on which we live, he says. Is not even skin deep; for an apple as large as the earth would have skin twenty miles thick; and no one has been much more than mile in- to the crust, or has bored into 1t with tools more than mile and half. It Is rather humiliating to think that we know more about the sun, ninety millions of miles away, than we do of the solid earth under our feet. We think nothing of dispatching exploring expeditions to unknown regions thou sands of miles away; how about little expedition to points only few miles diStant--vertically downward! Such explorations have been proposed, although the boldest explorer has not dared to suggest going further than twelve miles-a trip that would take him on the surface of the earth only from one end of Manhattan island to the other.

The Atlantic Patrol.

After the wreck of the Titanic, II of the leading nations of Europe joined. with the United States and Canada to provide q service for the observation and patrol of ice along the north Atlantic steamship lanes. These nations contribute in different prOpor- lions to the expense of this service, but the work Is done by the United States coast guard cutters Seneca and Tampa who cruise back and forth during the warmer months when the icebergs come sourh and send out to all vessels wireless reports of the To- cation and movements of the ice.- Boys Life.

As5yrian "Ambassadress."

The Lady Surma d'AIar Shimum has arrived in London as the official ann KnrIiistan mOuntains, says the ArgO- naut.
 Very handsome, not unlike the queen of Montenegro in profile, very bright. lively and animated, Lady Surma d'Mar Shimum Is only little more than 30 years of age. Of fine physique, she is also a highly cultured woman, so cultured that the arch bishop of Canterbury closed a re- cent interview with the "ambassador" with the remark: "It is extraordinary to find so much civilization where one could naturally have expected bar oAriSm."

Reports received in tie South American republic he said, had indicated that he would have to make his way home without the aid or railroads or even automobiles, be cause of the gasoline shortage.
 When Mir. Bartlett found railroads were operating he decided neverthe- less to make water trip to Easton. So the boat was slung overheard and with his wife and daughter he chug- ged away for home.

Success Through Optimism.

At one time while building the Pana- ma canal there were eight thousand men engaged in the Culebrn cut alone Every night as much soil slid into the cut as could be taken out during the day. But there was not a sign of dis couragement-the men enjoyed the fight. Colonel GeethalS walked through the cut one morning Just after an extensive slide. The foreman had been on the job since midnight.
 "WeIl, how is everything this morn ing, Mir. HOgan?' asked GOethalS.
 "Fine. Colonel, fine. It buried that steam shovel over there and tipped over two batteries of drills and cOv- cred all the tracks through the cut but one, but everythings fine, sir. We're dig@in'."-H. H. Moore in The Youth of a Nation.

Had No Experience.

An artist was showing young wom- an over his studio. After she had critically examined all the pictures, she remarked:
 "I notice several sunsets among your works, but not a single sunrise HOws that?"
 The artist, who was rather noted for his bohemian habits, blushed a little at the question, and then stam- mered:
 "You see. it's this way. To tell the truth, the reason I've never painted sunrise is because I'm never up at that time.'
