Modern Treasure Islands.

Nauru, a barren bit Of rock only
twelve miles in circumference. Thirty
or forty years ago almost anybody

to the belated discovery that the whole

mass of phosphate rock, soil fertilizer

most entirely Of iron ore. Fol years

JUNGLE MONARCH "B|G GAME"
Tiger Can Always Be Relied On to
Furnish Sport for the Most Ad.
venturous Hunter.

The tiger is n variety of game
which is in no danger Of extermina-
ton. Tigers have been hunted for
centuries. They furnished sport to
the ancient Romans, both in the arena
where they faced the gladiators and
in the open field. Before that, they

archA It is doubtful whether primi-
tive man was able to kill the tiger at
all.
Today tigers are comparatively easy
game for the wealthy sportsmen who
hunt them with the great d~Ouble-bar-
relied English rifles carrying express
bullets. A great crowd Of heaters u.s.
ually assists at the sport, and drives
the tiger into the open, though occa-
sionally he is killed by watching at the
carcass of an animal he has killed. o.
%casionally a tiger kills a hunter, but
not often. In India and also in Korea
many unarmed and half-naked natives
are killed by tigers ever year. In the
war between men and tigers 1t is hard
to a. which is winning.
Tigers are found in almost all parts
of the continent of Asia, from the trOp-
ical jungles of India to the almost arc
tic heights of the mountains In ST.
oeria and northern China.

her friends had scarcely assumed that
she was likely to forsake her spinster-
hood. suddenly surprised them by m
nouncing her engagement to a local
bachelor who was considered rather

upon herself to express some little
surprise at the engagement, and when
the fancee replied: But what is 1t In
him YOU don't like?" answered: "Oh,
I don't dislike him at all; it's only
that everybody thinks him-well, not
exactly eccentric, but, at any rate,

allied what the extravaganza actually
amounted to before the Treasury De-

MODERN DOLL WORK OF ART
Children Of the Long Ago Were Salts
Ned With Very Ordinary Counter
,feits Of Nature.

E interesting to contrast the
plump, really truly looking American
don Of today with the crude, legless,
Ong-armed wooden dollies with which
the little Egyptian girls used to play.
These Egyptian dolls had wooden hair
and funny long arms that reached al
most to the knees and they never had
any feet at all, says the Boston Post.
For clothes all there ever was for
them to wear was just a strip of cot
ton cloth wound round and round
their bodies like a bandage.
Worse than that, the poor little Mo-
hammedan children had to play with
headless dolls because the queer rul-
ings of their religion would not allow
of any imitation of the human figure.
Biblical children, Esther and Ruth,
probably played with wooden dolls
very much like the Egyptian dolls,
never a bit more beautiful.
Queen Elizabeth had a doll made of
tree bark. 1t was said to be 25O
years old before 1t came into her pos
session and since she died it has
never been located.
Dolls began to get better about that
period and Mary Queen of Scots
owned a collection of dolls that would
move their arms and legs, they being
operated with springs. As early as
1413 came dolls with voices that
would squeak. Wigs came in 1920 and
walking dolls in 1925, but they were
all queer and unlovable compared to

SAILORS HOLD ODD BELIEFS
Salt Mater Mariners Cling With To
nacity to Many Superstitions at
Which Landsman Laughs. ?

Nearly all ships carry a horseshoe.
Usually it is nailed somewhere In the
stern. The horseshoe has been a fe-
fish with sailors ever since Nelson
nailed one to the mast of the Victory.
Sailors have many superstitiOns. A
sailor who wears a baby's caul feels
himself immune from death by brown
ing. And after a long trip the sailor
who first sights land will have a good
voyage home. Jack becomes decided
ly uneasy if he hears "land-lubber
lingo on the cean. Therefore, II
we you are a passenger don't let him
hear you refer to the deck Of a cabin
as the floor" the companion as the
"stairs" or the alleyway as the lobby
or passage" 1t is bad form, and un-
lucky. Whistling at sea stirs up evil
winds. A cuttlefish swimming on top
of the waves also bet0kens a storm.
A squall may be expected when an al
batross alights on the deck or when q
seagull flies between the foremost and
the mainmast. But If the seagull flies
between the mainmast and the mizzen-
mast fair winds will prevail. Cats are
considered unlucky to have on board
ship. W to the last twenty years
most sailors wore earrings for luck.
No sailor will shoot at birds for fear
of destruction of his ship. 1t is unlucky
to kill a petrol. These birds, called by
sailors Mother Carey's chickens'-a'
corruption of Mater Cara" (mother.
dearest)-are the sailors friends
They give warning of an approaching
storm. Legend has it that each OF
these birds bears the soul of Il dead
standardization Times.

Worlds Longest Car Ferry.
