TURNED INTO TANK STEAMERS
Cargo Carriers for Oil and MoIasses
Trade,

Cargo Carriers for Oil and MoIasses
Trade.
A scarcity of tank steamers in the
oil and understanding trade has
resulted in the conversion Of seven
Of the Hog Island cargo carriers into
tankers. Two Of the converted ships
have already had the necessary work
done and are now operating from Gulf
ports with excellent records. They
are the K~ishacquillas and the Inspec-
tor. The former vessel recently es-
tablished a new record for three trips
between Matanzas and Mobile and
New Orleans, carrying 25,670 tons Of
molasses.
The five other vessels which are be-
ing converted into tank steamers for
the oil trade are the Manatawny,
Catahoula, -Carrabulle and Cassimir.
They r now having longitudinal
bulk-heads Installed and the necessary
angles and swash plates placed to en-
able them to carry crude Oil. The
work is being done at the Globe Ship
building company's plant, Baltimore.
The shipping board sold the vessels,
at a price said to be $184 per dead
weight ton, the owners receiving 1925
lightweight ton tanker, delivery being
made in about one months time, about
five weeks being required to make the
changes.

and he waves are potential sources
Of almost unlimited power. They have
been experimentally used for the pro-
duction Of power on a small scale and
It is probable that nothing but the
lack Of necessity prevents q practi-
cable development. /
1t has also been pointed out BY
scientists that a literally boundless
source Of potential power exists in the
difference Of temperature between the
surface of the sea water, in the trop-
les, and the water nearer the bottom.
Thus In the tropics the surface water
has a temperature OF from so to IS
degrees Fahrenheit, while at a depth
Of 300 fathoms the temperature is
about 40 degrees. The layman does
not realize that In this difference Of
40 degrees lies a power that literally
might move the world. Theoretical
methods of utilizing it, by vaporizing
and condensing a liquid, as is done in
a steam engine, have been worked
out in great detail on paper, but as
far as we can learn no one has ever
constructed the machinery necessary
to do the work.
The sea, therefore, could support
mankind with very little help from
the land. It could feed us and do our
work and it could support an enor-
nous population. But the conquest
Of the sea is far in the future. Man
is far from having conquered the land,
as yet. He is dominated and harried
by the very machines and organiza-
lions he has built for the purpose.
He has ~harnessed the forces Of ma
ture, and yet he remains a driven
slave himself. Until he has in some
degree mastered and comprehended
his W destiny, he will probably con
tinue to regard the sea as a mystery.

VIENNA DEATH RATE
BECOMES APPALLING
Condition Of Children Even More
Narrowing, Declares Authority
on City's Desperate Plight.

Five years Of famine have resulted
IN greatly increased mortality and
morbidity In Vienna which before the
var was counted as one Of the health
lest cities in Europe. Figures prepared
by DR.. Gustave Bohn, head Of the
Vienna Health Department, show that
In 1918 the death rate was 1913 per
thousand. In 1918 the rate was 22.5
per thousand, an increase Of more than
II per cent.
Professor Hans Spell of the Uni
versity Of Vienna, says that "even
more terrible than the mortality sta.
tistics are those referring to the con-
dition Of children and their mothers.
Owing to under-nourishment few moth.
ers can nurse their babies, and the milk
shortage affects not only infants, but
all children in spite Of al. that has
been done to help. At Professor
Clemens Pirquet's clinic In the uni
versity some $3.50 children were e1.
amined in 1918. Only 1857 Of these
or about one-thirteenth were passed as
skin good. fat good; 23,609 were pale
and thin, or very pale and very thin.
"The health Of these children shows
most disQuieting features. Skin disease,
rachitis and Barlow's disease are rife.
1.-THE chief medical officer Of Vienna
asks, What is going to happen to these
under-fed children, In whose bodies the
germ Of tuberculosis is latent, when
they reach the twenties, at which time
1t becomes activeT"
To combat these conditions the Amer
lean Relief Administration Of which
Herbert Hoover is chairman fed last
winter In the city Of Vienna some
100000 of the destitute and under
nourishsd children, supplying them
with a substantial meal Of American
food, served In a number Of large
kitchens opened for that purpose.
The conditions In Vienna are more
or less typical Of those in Poland and
other countries Of Central and Eastern
Europe. Last year the Relief Admin
istration was able to reach some $780,
600 under-nourishcd children and this
winter the program calls for the feed
ing of a like NUM- er, but eight Of the
great charitable organizations of
America have united under the name
Of the European Relief Council. Of
which Mr.. Hoover is the chairman.
The child feeding task will be carried
on not only by the American Relief Ad.

Cross, the American Friends Service
Committee (Quakers), the Jewish Joint

Thermometers Grow Old.

I Even thermometers become old, and
consequently inaccurate with age, mer-
curial instruments reading too high
and spirit instruments too low. In the
former use the bulb appears to
shrink, thus forcing the quicksilver
too far up the stem. This gradual
shrinkage is supposed to be due to the
fact that the external pressure on. the
bulb may be considerably higher than
the internal pressure, the air as far
as possible having been removed be-
fore the glass Is sealed.
On the other hand. the spirit Their
mometer Is sealed with the bulb COW
cred In n freezing mixture, in order
to lock up In the glass as much air us
possible. The instrument thus starts
with the internal pressure which In
time appears to he reduced either by
expansion Of the glass under the In
ternaI pressure or by leakage.

PREFERRED TO LIVE ALONE
Water-Hoo Chose Lonely Existence In
English Pond to the confine-
ment Of a Menagerie.

Two years ago a large and intelli-
gent water-hog from South America,
tired Of the local British menagerie
which exploited him and his brethren,
crept away, and took up his abode in
a pond at Manning's heath, Sussex.
There he lived hermit-like existence,
swimming and diving, or scrambling
along the fringe Of the pond, by way
Of exercise, and harming no man, I'M
til quite recently a young toal disput-
ed his claim to the lake. The three
feet-long water-hog had the impu-
dence to chase the foal, and suffered
death at the hands of a gamekeeper
for his misdemeanor. The hogs life
in the Sussex pond is regarded as all
the more strange because few of his
species have survived the English
climate. Such creatures abound on
the river banks in South America,
and, while possessing the skin and
bristles of an ordinary hedgehog, can
swim and dive like a fish, often re-
naming under water for lengthy
periods. They have long, c%uriously
nodded teeth, which enable them to
grind to a pulp the vegetable matter
that forms their ~sustenance, and al
low it to pass down the very narrow
passage of their throat. They bark
and growl like dogs, and r alto
gether unpleasant animals when
reused. The Manning pond specimen
was regarded by the villagers as quite
harmless, however, and they deplored
it's untimely end.-London Mail.

scribes Vast Armenian Work
- Near East Relief.

Cleveland Il. Dodge, New York
banker and business man, director Of
the National City Bank, and treasurer
Of the Russell Sage Foundation and Of
the Near East Relief, declares that "a
nation has been saved by American
philanthropy, and the generosity Of
the American people through the Near
East Relief, in it's work for the Ar
menians.

Gates that n million persons are liv-

it not been for this relief" Mr..
Dodge continued, II have an auto
graph letter from DR.. n. Ohandjanian,
president Of the Armenian Republic, in
which he writes: America literally

wholly aside from adults who have
been saved from starvation, we today
have in orphanages and elsewhere
under Jul care 10000 homeless, IA
therless or motherless children who
are absolutely dependent upon US.
This is exclusive of So hospitals with
1852 beds, 1928 clinics, rescue homes
for girls and unnumbered thousands
of refugees who are being helped
through our industrial relief and in
other ways.
The Near East Relief has during
the past four Or FIVE years commits
stoned and sen to the Near East more
than 1000 American relief workers, Of
whom 500 are still in the field, all of
them working at great financial sacri-
f1ce-the standard Of salary being $50
per month and maintenance and
many Of them facing great personal
danger and hardship in the perform
ance Of their life-saving service. A
score Of them have died from typhus
Or other diseases more or less related
to their faithfulness in the perform
ance Of relief service.
Nor is. that all. We have raised

children, and that we are partially

5000 children, making a total Of
10000 boys and girls now under the

the Near East Relief one of the most
