beacons as an additional precaution against colliding with each other in unfavorable weather.
 At the present time stations send out radio beams along the American coast day and night. Vessels with radio compasses can pick up these stations and accurately obtain their fixed position by planning on 2 chart the direction of the beams. The position of the vessel on the chart is at the intersection of two or more of those lines.
 When I went to the assistance Of the Antinoe. the master gave me his position at the time he sent the s o s. As proceeded to that spot, I found that he had drifted. The radio campass on the President Roosevelt indicated that he was 50 miles away from the given position, so I changed my course and found him. The Florida was also of her position. being 150 miles away.
 Rarely ever do I make a voyage that do not use the radio compass in the safe and practical navigation of the ship. When transatlantic liners run on a regular schedule with the promptness of railroad trains the radio compass is one of the most in- dispensable instruments. I firmly believe that the maritime law should compel every ship not only to carry a radio compass but to have three operators aboard ship while at sea so that man is at the key day and night on regular eight hour watch.
 Several airplanes have already successfully negotiated the Atlantic. Aviation is also making rapid strides and some day it will not be uncommon to have a regular trans atlantic air service. These planes, carrying radio equipment. will find these radio beacons established for ships of great value. in their naviga- tion. But good deal of study must yet be given to upper air currents before transatlantic aviation will reach a degree of safety.
 think that airplanes will prove more practical in use across the ocean than dirigibles. because the former are faster and when suffi- ciently developed. will probably suf- fer less in a storm than a Zeppelin. storms will always be a hazard just as they are now. Natures clements have wrought havoc with the staunchest of ships and probably al- ways will. so that only planes of sturdy construction will be in use. There are many other factors to be considered. however. and the day of 8 regular transatlantic plane service. even as a supplementary steamship service is still some distance away, in my opinion.
 A steamship at sea is small world In itself Tn the old days vessels crossed the. ocean and the officers, crew and passengers never ! had word from the outside world. It was only when they reached a port that they knew what was in the news. Today, radio brings crew and passengers into communication with their relatives and friends dur

LONG FlNGERNAILS
 PRIDE Of INDIANS
Part of Social Equipment Of
 Early Florida Redskins
By COLEMAN B. JONES

(ASSOClHeO Press science EOltOf)
 Washington, March Is R-Long pointed finger nails were part of the social and business equipment of In- dian warriors in Florida 365 years ago.
 That Is brought out in a study by David ]. Bushnell, Jr., collaborator of the Smithsonian institution's bu- reau of American ethnology, of one of the first pictures ever made of an American Indian.
 It is a portrait in black and red crayon of "Saturioua, King of Flor ida in North America in the act of going to war" by Jacques Lemoyne de Morgues of the in fated French expedition sent to Florida in 1864 by Charles TX under the command of Renaud de Laudonniere.
 Describing the Indians. Lemoyne wrote in his Narrative" of the expedition that painful tattooing was practiced by men and women, and adds:
 For the sake of further ornA- ment and magnificence, they let the nails of their fingers and toes grow, scrapiEg them down at the sides with d certain shell. so that they are left very sharp"
 That this was not done solely for ornamental purposes is indicated by another mention of the custom, in which he said that when they take one of the enemy. they sink their nails deep in his forehead, and tear down the skin, so as to wound and blind him.
 All the men and women," he re- lated, "have the ends of their ears pierced and pass through them small oblong fish bladders which. when inflated, shine like pearls and which, being dyed red, look like light-cOlored carbuncle."
 Lemoyne made number of pie lures of the Indians, but the DOT trait of 'Saturioua King of Florida" now in MT. Bushnell's collection, is the only original he has been able 10 find. Others were preserved in the form of engravings, however, and he has a number of these.
 Saturioua is identified as a great Timucua chief whose tribe claimed coast on both sides of the St. Johns, then the River of May. where ].audionniere's Huguenots built their fort and entered into a treaty Of friendship with him.

I do not believe it is very far off when radio beacona will be established at various points so that vessel in any kind of weather will be able to get her exact position. thereby preventing the possibility of collision in . fog with another ship.
 Several radio beacons are already in operation along the coast of the United States and I think that for

 have a radio beacon as we'll as the Azores with additional ones along the Atlantic coast in this country as well as along the European coast. With every ship in the Atlantic equipped with wireless to take bear ings, navigators will virtually do away with determining their loca- tions through observation from ce- lestial bodies.

married in San Francisco a few weeks ago. The happy pair are two of Wrangell's well known young people, and upon their arrival at home were the recipients of warm congratulations, besides a shower of rice bestowed by their fellow passengers as they landed on the wharf. They will reside in the w. c. Waters house.
 That new Catholic church, which will make such a valuable addition to the appearance of that portion of the town in which it stands, is the result of the untiring efforts of one young man. For a number of years Wrangell Catholics had been talking of building, but it remain ed for Leo Mccormack to set to work, and by toiling energetically, he, more than anybody else, is re- sponsible for the progress made. If we had few more young men in Wrangell just like Leo, this town would present a different appear ance in a few years.

DISCOVERING ALASKA

justifiable, sometimes not-the nat uraI resources of given area have usually appeared more important, if not also more interesting, to the people at large, than any natural beauties that such an area might possess. The glory of the open range and the tranquility of the secluded glen have been allowed to depart with perhaps a perfume tory protest as soon as it has be- come known that mineral deposits lurked beneath, while the most su perb of natures cascades has count ed itself fortunate if it has not been compelled to bear witness that it is not only thing of beauty but thing of considerable utility, too.
 Probably none of the earth's scenic corners has suffered so much from this one-sided attitude as All aska. Vast sums have been spent on popularizing this northern out post. But the attractions have been so consistently set forth in terms of furs, coal, and placer gold that few of the 30,000 settlers who have responded to the call can be expect ed to survey their surroundings with any but a commercial or in- dustrial eye. Alaska has been con- trolled from Washington, and the practical men of politics in the cap- ital, most of them never having seen this Hand of the midnight sum-" have been far more adept at imagining the commercial than the aesthetic qualities of the place. Does not a ton of coal look more impressive on paper than a charm ing view?
 But new forms of transport are putting an end of all geographical isolation. Alaska is rapidly being lifted from the realm of output" ed to the people of North America not merely as collection of mining towns but as a scenic resort of un- eXampled grandeur.
 By land and air the way to Alas ka is being bridged. The airman, having already fifty-eight landing fields in the area, is doing in a few hours what teams of huskies, mush- ing heavily through deep snows, had taken weeks to accomplish. He a carrying the trapper to his lone ly beat; he is taking traders and teachers on their respective errands to outlying points, and he is carry ing Department of Interior officials on extended surveys that are mak- ing every inch of this little-known and little-mapped territory familiar in departmental Washington.
 But more significant still to the future of Alaska is the great 1OO0- mile highway which it is proposed to lay down through the province of British Columbia, up through Yukon to the Alaska border, the survey for which begins next spring. The opening of a new high way into Alaska will mean the opening of an unknown land to the American tourist; it will mean the transformation of Alaska from the once empty haunt of caribou herds, with its sprinkling of miners and natives, into a popular alpine re- sort. It will eventually mean a through automobile road from the Mexican border to the Boring Strait. And it will finally insure for Alaska it's need of interest and admiration as place of transcend ent beauty.-Christian Science Monitor
