Il. pay Of Glory Forgotten.

You will perhaps remember that
when Dewey got through with the
Spanish warships in Manila bay, about
the only one left of any value was the
Isla De Luzon, a small gunboat which
the navy refitted and used effectively
in the archipelago for some years. Last
winter l saw her in one of the shall
low harbors of the West Indies. The
Navy department had sold her for a
song to some skipper who had refitted
her as wrecking boat and was living
on her with his family among small
wilderness of ropes anu winches. OF
course, with so many demands on the
treasury as there are, 1t would be non
sense to spend money for mere senti-
ment but / felt something of pang
of regret that the only memento Of
this glorious naval victory should meet
such fate.-Few York Correspondent

NAMED BY EARLY v0YAGERS
Saw Certain Degree of Re.
sembIance to Venice.

Columbus while cruising in the Gulf
of Paria, on the coast of Venezuela,
during his third voyage, caught a
glimpse for the first time of the west
ern hemisphere. Since he was Ill with
the gout, and his eyes troubled him,
he did not 90 ashore; but as he lay
in his cabin his mind was full Of great
imaginings. He was convinced that he
had discovered the Garden Of Eden,
At the first opportunity, says an Eng
lish writer, he sent messenger to
Spain, announcing the great news. One
effect of the dispatch was to cause an
old comrade, Alonzo de Ojeda, to set
out at once for the new land. He did
not go with a hallowed wish to gaze
upon the tree of life, but TO make
money; for Columbus had said that
pearls were to be found in the region.
and perhaps seeds Of the apple that
Eve had eaten.
With Ojeda sailed Amerigo Vespuc-
ci. Skirting the coast of the mainland
upon their arrival in the gulf, they
reached placid bay where the natives
had built their huts ion piling in the
water. Their little village reminded
vespucci of Venice; so they called the
place Venezuela, or little Venice, and
the name gradually came to be applied
not merely to the village but to the
whole region, and became the name Of
the country.

TO STUDY FElsHI. OF BIRDS
Students Of Aviation Seek to Solve
Riddle Of the Aibatross and
Other "Soarers.'

Students of aviation are trying to
solve the riddle Qf how the albatross
and other great 'Soarers" maiae effort
less flight without wing beats.
Special investigation of this phe'
nomenon will be made during the mo
torless flying carniyals in France, Ger
many and Switzerland.
All birds which have this wonderful
power of gliding here and there. with
motionless outstretched wings are
alike in one respect. Underneath their
widespread wings as they extend them
sin soaring. are clearly marked trans
verse ridges.
What purpose those underneatli-wing
rays or ridges serve is, at present, a
mystery; but the significant fact is
that all great soarers have them
whereas birds which do not soar, but
move only by constant wing beats
have no such ridges
An Ingenious theory is that by means
of these ridges" the birds focus, OF
compress, wind eddies as they sweep
beneath the wings, and so manage 10
extract not only an upward lift but
also pIppulsire effort from them.
Another explanation is that the bird
is able to vibrate it's apparently mo
tionless wing, so that the transverse
rays" accelerate the wind flow under
the wing and obtain reaction which
drives thp bird forward wit holIt any
visible wing effort.

Junior classes swell the total. This
enrolment exceeds the total enroll
ment of all last year.

tion at present. The squad out this
year is exceptionally small number
ing about 25. Nine Of these men have
had previous experience on regular
