Explorer Gives Some
Facts About Eskimos

Vilhjalmur Stefansson, writing
under the title, Popular Errors" In
the London Spectator, says that Els
kimos do not drink oil. They actually
consume less food for power" than
the average Scotsman or Norwegian,
and for obvious reasons, If you forget
your theories and consider the facts.
Eskimos undoubtedly would De
fond of fat-it is even possible that
they might drink oil--if it were true
that they were more exposed to cold
than the rest of us. This Is the weak
link in the chain. The Eskimos are
really exposed to cold less than the
average American or Britisher.
We are told that this is due to the
fact they they wear fur clothing out
of doors, and that their snug snow
huts are so warm that they sit in mid
winter naked in the oyerheated houses
with streams of perspiration running
down their bodies, which they mop
continually with towels Indeed, the
only time that Stefansson ever saw
an Eskimo SILVER was in midsummer
when his clothes were worn out.

1t cannot be said that light of
literature went out with the passing
of Marie CorellI. but it will be impos-
sible for the historian who essays to
describe the literary taste of her gen.
Grafton to ignore the author of 1.-THE
Romance of Two Worlds" Her APP
peal was not to the intellectual elite,
and yet she was one of the favorite
novelistssof Queen Victoria, was found
fascinating by the exquisite Elizabeth
Of Austria, was read by the elegant
Alexandra of England. This royal
favor denotes nothing as to the ar
tistry of her work, but 1t signifies the
remarkable catholicity of her appeal,
declares the New York Evening World
The melodramatic quality. the weird
touch of mystery. were enough to
have placed her among the best SELL
ers.' But her vogue has been due in
large measure to the spiritualism
which permeates her novels.
The queen In the castle and the
peasant in the cabin are alike in a
hunger for Impressions of the life be-
yond. Miss Corelli ministered to this
desire to penetrate the veil. What
ever the critics may think or say, they
cannot deny her the distinction that
few among the greater artists have
shared. of numbering her followers
from the man with the hoe to the
woman with the tiara and the crown.

WHALE SHARK LARGE
BUT GENTLE MONSTER
Ocean LeUiafhan Is Without
Trace of Ferocify.

A truly delicate monster is the
whale shark. A small-scaIe model OF
30 foot specimen has just been
placed upon exhibition In the Ameri-
can Museum OF Natural History in
New York. and the public pauses to
admire the creature FOR his fancy coat
and his coy eye without approaching
his amiable disposition. The whale
shark Is as harmless as guinea pig.
He has never tasted man. He does
not even eat his brother fish, although
he himself is the largest fish In exist
ence-fhe whale. Of course, being not
fish but q mammal.
Whale sharks have been measured
up to length Of As feet and whale
fishermen, whose keen eyes are ac-
customed to taking such measure
ments, declare that they have seen
whale sharks 70 feet long. How
strange, then, to discover that the
teeth Of this giant Of the ocean are no
longer than one-eighth OF an inch
But he has six or seven thousand Of
them, Including both Jaws. He wears
his tiny eye In the Upper jaw, where
1t can observe his continuous dinner.
Possessing teeth so dainty. the
whale shark has but one weapon of
offense---his tail He never harms men
unless he happens to rub up against
the side Of boat. probably to rid
himself OF barnacles. and If he over
turns or smashes the craft upon these
- t. az
thought.
When he dimes he does not gobhle
large fish. like the other sharks. In
stead, he swims with his mouth open
and collects the small animals that
float upon the surface Of the sea. The
water passes over his gill-rakers, and
these sift out the food. 1t then passes
out through his gill Sits. He swallows
everything that is taken in. and OF
course the quantities of little jelly
fish, crabs and other small fry that he
requires in a day are enormous.
Why do they call him a whale
shark? Because he is whale In size
and In his manner Of feeding. and be-
cause he Is often found with whales.
More generally. he is seen in company
with other sharks, but he is so much
larger than they that by comparison
with him they seem no bigger than the
pilot-fsh or shark-suckers when seen
beside the ordinary small shark. This
statement was first made in 1910 by a
pearl-fshery inspector. who amazed
the world with his account Of giant
fish seen In the Indian ocean.
If the whale sharks behavior is
handsome. so is his appearance. His
coat Is delicate smoke-gray, thickly
covered with white spots. which cause
him to resemble marine Milky way
Unfortunately. one is not likely to
see him on fishing trip. Only five
specimens have been taken In the At
lantic oocean--four off the coast of
Florida and one Off the southern const
Of Brazil. He is encountered through
out East Indian waters. particularly
near Java, and is known in the Phil
Ippines, on the coasts Of Japan, New
Guinea and Australia.

The antecedents of present-day
stockings were first worn by men, says
the Detroit News. The early Anglo
Saxon stockings were known as
.scin" hose and were mark of wealth
and station. They were made of leath-
er and wrapped around the leg like a
bandage King Canute wore stockings
reaching to his knees and striped horI-
zontally in two coIors. The introducer
of what has become the modern sock
was King Robert, while King Edgar
enswathed his legs with garters of
gold The Norman conquest, however.
brought return to the cross garter
ing. and William the Conqueror's hose
were of red leather over which there
was cross gathering of blue with
gold tassels.
The handles of France under Charles
the Wise wore stockings of different
colors on each leg. Black and yellow,
green and purple. and green and vel
low were some of the combinations
they affected The fashion of en-
broidering stockings with colored silks
came In with Edward I, and long hose
became the vogue in the Fourteenth
century. Queen Philippa, consort of
Edward III, had stockings of seven
different colors. 1t was during the
reign of this couple that the circular
garter came into use. Under Crom-
we'll the gay colors and embroidered
hose were replaced by sober black and
brown, but it was not long before the
bright hues returned. Then, with long
trousers for men, came socks, and silk
embroidered stockings took their
places chiefly as intimate associates of
women.
