AND HE NEVER CAME BACK!
Pursuing Swimmer Had No Idea Of
Letting Chance Like That Gee
Away From Him.

There were mutinous murmurs
aboard certain merchantmen when
word spread among the crew that the
ship would not, after all, put In at
Tahati, but merely drop the mail over
and go on. Tahati, being French soil,
Is little island Of liquor in mid-Pa-
cifc, and the thirsty men aboard had
been lying awake nights thinking Of
the drinks that lay ahead.
The disappointment was too much
for one seaman, who, uttering plain
tive cry, leaped into the sea and start
ed to swim for the visible shore. The
captain, much vexed and little cnva-
GUS, ordered the best swimmer In the
crew to go after him and bring him
back before he reached land. An ex-
cited lookout kept all on deck posted
on the progress Of the race.
Hes gainingl Hes gaining! Two
hundred yards-a hundred yards-fif-
ty yards. In dozen strokes he'll have
him. Five more strokes! A yard to
60. - Great guns!"
"What Is It? What Is it?'

Products From Oceans.

From the New York Times.
The porpoise, as most Of us know.
has long provided lubricating oil Of
exceptional virtues, but the public may
not be aware that the oil from the liver
of the shark and the dogfsh has the
medicinal characteristics which have
made cod liver oil q therapeutic agent
for decades. The flesh Of the shark is
decidedly palatable, SO Is that of the
dogfsh, and what is not suited for can
ming can be converted into chicken
or animal food or else used in the prep
aration of fertilizers. Down south,
where the sea leather fishing stations
are at present established, experience
shows that five sharks are caught to
every porpoise ensnared in the nets.
Tho sharks range in weight from 400 to
1000 pounds, and a 500-pound shark is
pretty common.
From the hide of 500-pound shark
1t is possible to obtain 10 square feet Of
leather, and the stomach furnishes a
raw material which can be made into
leather with the appearance and tex-
ture of glazed kid. The liver will yield
anywhere from 10 to Is gallons of oil
and the dorsal fin, when dried. will
bring about $3.50 among oriental cpl
cures. The teeth Of the shark sell
readily and are utilized by manufactur-
ing jewellers in ornaments of one kind
or anoNer. From the blood of the sea
mammals We now get the basic sub
stance for a very superior kind of
waterproof glue, which is used in the
preparation of laminated or built up
wooden stock from which the Sropellers
and other parts CT aircraft are to-day
fashioned.
Henceforth, instead of importing an
nually in the neighborhood Of 100 900, 600
pounds of hide for tanning. and instead
of depending entirely upon land AMI
mails for these essential supplies. we
shall be able to draw upon the mex
haustible life Of the sea to help meet our
requirements. Quite apart from the
promise OF cheaper shoes. the feathers
so secured will answer admirably for q
Great many other purposes, and. finally.
with the by-produsts Ut the industry.

Motor M adj.

From the New York World.
A writer in British automobile jour
nal who spent some time studying con-
didons in this country reaches tho con-
cluston that America ia motor mad"
Wherever he went It was motors, mo-
tors all the way, motor cars swarming
hike ants everywhere" and Of all va
rfetfes, from the millionatres limousine
to the workman's fiivver. And as for
Fifth avenues "four-way pack of fine
automobiles stretching from Madison
Square to Central park. we have moth
ing like that in London"-an admission
which attests the sincerity of the criti-
cism.
Here at least is foreign observer
who sees American things as they are.
There Is not the slightest doubt that
country is motor mad. and tho only
challenge Of the critics remark is that
what he offers as a rebuke Is accepted
as just cause for pride. That Is one
Of the Characteristic symptoms of the
madness.

English Public Finance.

From RankerE' Trust c., New ySzS.
Vast totals. impressive though they
may be, do not make vivid the amazing
costs resulting from the war. but a
study of English Public Finance" just
published by the Bankers Trust Com
pany, Of New York. striking1y visualizes
the tremendous amount OF money spent
by Great Britain during the past six
years This was moro than the total
costs of running her government, fight
ing eight great wars and multitude Of
expensive '1ittD' wars, of building and
rebuilding navies. maintaining peace
time armies, colonizing. and meeting
cumulative expenses of improving the
social conditions of her population over
a period Of two and a quarter centuries
preceding the world war.
The sum OF s11.z6s,ooo (roughfy
$4,000, 900, o00) represents the British
governments expense from March 81,
1914, to March 81, 1920. In the previous
two and quarter centuries the total
outlay by the government was E10,944,-
600.
The British people have already paid
in various forms Of taxation and was
contributions SO per cent.-about $780,
600, 006, 00G-of their tremendous war
period expense. In other words, they
have paid in six years time on behalf

ously required to pay in 225 years. The
Bankers Trust Company's study also
shows that last year. burdened with in
terest charge for national debt Is times
greater than the national debt charge
before the war, and also with very
heavy peace bulge for running the gov
eminent Britain paid outright about so
per cent. Of her years expenses. Since
the revolution of 1888 England has
scrupulously kept her engagements with
her creditors. The records show that
she has done SO in times Of greatest
stress.
Her burdens today, while heavy, are,
according to the study, not much great
er in proportion to national wealth and
income than those which she has
borne at times in the past. To illus
trate: With estimated wealth OF
s2.7s0,0e0 at the end Of the Napoleonic
wars Britain had q debt of ESQ. zoo, goo.

Too Much Hatred.
From tha MilUa f1kee Journal

Z IOIA Iuc mll"dukSS JOUIIaI.
Republican editors are reminding their
party that there can be such q thing
rs pushing the abuse of President VIII
son too far. The hymn Of hate chant
ed by Senator Lodge did not meet an
altogether enthusiastic reception. It In
long time since Americans listened to
such unbridled abuse Of a president.
When they turn to the principles for
which Mr.. Wilson stood during tho
great war and since, it Is not clear that
he can be pictured as the enemy of his
country.
The Chicago Post, a republican pa
per, calls attention to the fact that the
senators and others who in the months
after Lincoln's death be1ittled him and
destroyed his reconstruction policy
have not found any honor therefore IN
tho pages Of history. Another repub-
lican paper, the Des Moines Register

reaction OF sympathy for the suffering
man in the White House. And Marx
