Harbor is probably the best developed
 harbor in the West Indies. and is
 naturally protected except from ex- ceptionally strong hurricanes. Coral
 Bay, though entirely undeyeloped
 constitutes an even more eommodious
 and better protected harbor of refuge ! These harbors were valuable to the United States in themselves. but it was even more important that the
 United States prevent their falling
 into the hands of possible enemies.
 "The Greater Antilles, made up of the larger of the West Indies, and the Lesser Antilles, composed of the
 smaller islands, together form a | gigantic crooked arm enclosing the | Caribbean Sea. The Virgin Islands
 are at the elbow the closest point to traffic between Europe and the Pana-
 ma Canal, between New York and both
 the east and west coasts of South and Central America. and between the | Greater and and the Lesser Antilles.
 It has heen said of St. Thomas liar
 bor and the town of Charlotte Amalie that they are on the road to every | where. To this fact has been due
 the importance of the town; and the
 town in turn has given to the islands
 of St. Thomas and St. John what inn portance they have had in recent years
 Its accessibility, it's good harbor, its
 facilities for coaling and storage, and for dry dockage and repairs to steam.

million dollars have been sent to the relief of those people. The work is being made to secure the Hast five million which will make it possible for the fam inc sufferers to avoid devourng their growing crops before they are Tnatured and give them subsistence for the future Crop conditions are promising but the people are in just as serious situation until the harvest time GOmes as they have been all winter and it is with the idea of tiding them over the short per- iod that the final appeal is made.
 That there will be the same generous response that has characterized the at titude of the country in the past toward such conditions is to be expected. When 1t is realized that a dollar will feed a person for a month it can be readily ap- precated what the amount sought will do for those who are facing death for the lack of something to eat.

 In the autumn the regicides left New Haven and went to Hadley. While there, eleven years afterward, King Philips war took place.

Improved Airpiane Propeller.

Announcement Is made in the Times
of the invention of an ilnpro,td type
OF airplane propeller whereby engine
power necessary for driving tie air
plane will be leSsrned and the vibrn-
ton of the machine will be much re-
duced. The new type of propeller
arises from the addition of n nuIaber
of veins" or tlanges made of alumni
NUN TO the existing type Of propeller.
These "vCinS" are about G inches In
height and run parallel across the SIR
face Of rhe propeller at distance of
about one foot from each other. There
are eight at the drive side, four mt
each end Of the bndo. and six on the
wind side in similar position. II l.
claimed that by this arrangement the
mir Is properly directed pnst the pro.
pellcr blade faces with the result that
there is an avoidance Of the air losses
from the blade ends, which through
natural causes take place in the pres
emf type of propeller. making possible
q maximum thrust with minimum
expenditure Of power.
