OLD MYSTERY OF THE SEA
What Became Of Fine Liner Presi.
dent Which Disappeared in
the Year 194t7

Among the modern sea mysteries
none IL more bufiling than the vanish
Ing OF the liner President In 1S4l.
The vessel was the latest word la lux
-urious ocean travel, having but lately
been launched. And that day In March
when he sailed fr0m New York for
Liverpool every vessel In the North
river paid tribute to her size and su-
.periority. She was PCS feet long and
of 2.;}G0 tons.
Early In April reports began tn
after into America from Liverpool that
the PRESIDENT had not arrived, and AZ
the days sped OH far into the summer
the agony OF suspense on both sides
the ocean grew. On her passenger
list had been the names of many proIni-
asrcnt persons, among whom were the
celebrated comedian. Tyrone Powers.
George q. Goodman and the duke Of
tDeyOirsiire. A few more than 100
passengers were aboard the President.
Whether the President fOundered
In some violent gale. was sunk or
crushed by icebergs, or was destroyed
by fire, no man to this day has been
able to tell. for not even a splinter Of
"wreckage was ever reported seen.

Sawdust Diet Progresses,

Hydroliaed sawdust as part of a
ration for cows is apparently giving
satisfactory results in Wisconsin. The
forest service Of the United States De-
partment OF Agriculture reports that
cows at the agricultural college Of that
state are doing as well ON a ration
Of One-third sawdust as they did
when their feed was only one-fOurth
wood meal. That is to say, they are
keeping up their weight and their milk
production and show no Ill effects from
the diet.
The bureau Of animal industry Is
considering the proposal Of the forest
service laboratory to start feeding
trials with dairy animals in which the
wood product will form a part of the
ration and the tests will extend for an
entire year at least. The hydrOlized
wood feed for these cows will be made
at the laboratory. So far all the stock
feed has been made from white pine
sawdust. Other soft woods, particu-
larry the western species, will be tried
in the future.

Antiquity of Porto Rico.

EthnOiogists have reason for think
ing that Porto Rico and the adjoining
Islands may have been peopled from
the valley Of the OrinOcO instead Of
from Yucatan. When first occupied
by man Porto Rico may have been II
part of peninsula connected with
South America. Its fauna and fora
are of the South American type, and
1t contains relics Of forgotten race
which show evidence Of a high grade
Of culture. Few traces OF these abOr-
igines are now to be found except In
the interior of the island. Among the
curious remains are st0ne-enclOsed
plazas. on which ceremonial dances
were performed. The remains of
carved idols and pottery show no small
degree of skill and taste. No traces
Of stone buildings resembling those Of
the Mayas are found, but the houses
are OF the South American type.

For China's Health.

Effective work in health education
has been accomplished through the
school children In China. The Amer
lean Junior Red Cross members have
thrown their efforts into the work al
ready done by welfare organizations.
In the fifth health campaign conducted
by the Y. NJ. Z. A. the juniors loaned
their services In addition to contrib
uting money. They took part In the
health .parades. carrying large models
OF flies, mosquitoes, rats and other
enemies to health. Tho older boys
conducted Open-air classes in the mar
ket places, where regular instruction
In personal hygiene was given to chill
dren and incidentally to the grownups
who were looking on. They distrib-
uted handbills and gave street-corner
lectures on health. Being born actors,
they advanced the cause greatly by
giving health plays. Part of the con-
tributiOn from the national children's
fund is used"in making a survey. Of

In Shanghai, and in furthering the
campaign against blindness.

A destroyer is always a boat; never

the "incfficients" who shelter them
selves from the wrath Of the sea on
cumbersome battleships. They say
such persons might as well go to sea
on drydocks.
A boatman feels he Is just a little
better than other men. He lives hard

more water in his boots. shorter hours
of sleep and more salt In his whiskers
than any other seaman except. per-
haps, the oId-fashioned schOonerman
who fishes for cod. He will take more
chances, get away with more deviltry
and has less regard for the bones
Of his hands than any other man in

A Pointed View.

The farmers field all through warm months
Was rich with verdure green;
And there his cattle, sleek and fat
All summer long were seen.
I said to him, you must be proud;
This field is all delight.
There's nothing lackadaisical
In such a thrifty sight"
The farmer leaned across the bars:
He saw but harmful weed,
And gazed across where star-cyed flowers
Had long since gone to seed.
Said he, IF you should see this place
Each spring, you'd know old pal
That prefer to have my field
More lack-a daisy cal!'
