R0UND. WORLD TIME
 CUT THREE YEARS.
(9SGd lsIII moLA panunuoO)

gressed we'll up 10 Drake's Bay north of San Francisco, and thenc" across the Indian ocean. He took this latter course fearing the Span ish might be somewhat asgrieved at him for some of his plunderirSs of their vessels Drake returned 70 Plymouth in 1880 with only one Of the five vessels with which he started,
 From then on the race to chop down the around the world time started.
 Thomas Cavendish started in 1886 around the world with thr"e vessels and 12S men. He returned with one vessel after travelirg two years and 50 days.
 Cock Lost Only One Man
 Then Captain James Cook started a different kind of race. He started to race against the death that had overcome so many of the other around the world cruises and in l77f made q globe girdlinG tour in three years and IS days with inc loss of only one man. This was marvellous as just few years prior Captain George Anson started with 259 mon and the entire expedition was lost.
 In was in 1872 that Jules Verne
 
 in 80 days" The book was a best seller and tictled the fancy of everyone but one, least of all Verne, thought the thing was possible.
 Nellie BIy Shattcrs Mark
 The late Joseph Pulitzer, publish CT of the New York World, got to thinking about it and in 1889 as- signed Nellie Blythe first news paper sob sister'-to break th" record of Verncs fictitious FoGS, Nellie By stopped and chatted with Verne in England on her way about and then rushed on around the world completing the tour in 72 days, hours and il minutes.
 In 1890 George Francis Traim cut that time to CT days and l2 hours
 In 1901 Charles I'itzmaurice cut the time to GO days and 13 hours.
 In 1903 Henry Frederick cut the time to 54 days and hours.
 In 1907 Col. Burnley Campbell cut the time to 4o days and 19 hours.
 Tn 1911 Andre Jaeger schmidt cut the time to 8 days and 12 hours.
 In 1918 John Henry Mears cut the time to B days.
 Enter Aviation
 Then came aviation. The United States army flying team comnletcd world cruise in 1926 in 3G5 ac- tual flying hours Ca trifle more than IS days) but they were gone for six months, being held up by ac- cidents and bad weather.
 On June 1G. 1926, Edward s sevans and Linton Wells started around the world using steamships and airplanes. They finished tn" globe girdling in 2S days, II hours and 36 minutes.
 McarS Rcgains Record
 Mears, who once had held the record, hated to see modernity spoil his feat and with Captain C. B. D. Collyer started an around the world cruise in 1928. They flew from New York out to where the Olympic was at sea, and used air. planes across Europe. They flew from Cherbourg to Tokio in five days, 21 hours. a record; they crossed the Pacific by boat and flew from Victoria to New York in two days.
 Now the Graf Zeppelin, complet- ing the first flight around the world by air. has broken that rec ord.
 It is curious to note also that Magcllan's expedition cost approXi- mately S25O,00O, including the five ships, whereas the Graf Zeppelin; construction cost more than S3, 900, 900 in addition to the costs of the travelling.

POKAGON STATE PARK

Pokagon State park is the first in
Indiana with shores on an inland
lake. It has 700 acres of hilly mea-
dow and wooded area with approx
matelv two miles of frontage on
Lake James. which is the third larg-
est in the state and has an area OF
LOO acres. Undoubtedly Pokagon

STATE STOCKS
STREAMS WITH
11.428,6O5 FISH
Good Catches Assured for
Anglers in HooSier
Waters.

"Sportsmen cast your flies here"
is the invitation from Indiana's
streams.
For 11,42S,6O5 game fish were
planted in Hoosier waters by the
state conservation department in
1928.
Surely with a year to grow, this
number affords an opportunity to
the most amateur of Izaak Waltons.
Besides the fish there is also
ample opportunity in HooSlerdom
for nirnrods.
Creates Game Preserve
Here also the state has aided by
creating and maintaining a 10000
acre game preserve in scenic Brown
county. No hunting is allowed on
the reservation, but it has become
base of game supply by affording
protected breeding place for both
animals and fowl.
All fish and game supervision is
under the direction of George N.
Mannfeld, superintendent of the
fish and game division of the state
conservation department.
Five large hatcheries are main
tanned They are at Riverside park,
Indianapolis; Avoca, Lawrence
county; Wawasee, Kosciusko county;
Bass Lake, Starke county, and Tri-
Lakes, Whitley county.
City Hatchery Largest
The Avoca hatchery. just COM
pleted, is the second largest, the one
in Indianapolis being first.
IL these hatcherieS seven species
of fish are Matched and planted in
the waters of the state to the num-
Der of several millions.
The main hatch is bass, the most
difficult fish to propagate, bit witt
which Indiana has been notably
successful. The spawning season is
May and June.
Buys Tract for Game
Through the great increase in the
sale of fish and game licenses, the
division of fish and game has Sc
cured sufficient funds to purchase
the Brown county game preserve.
The tract lies just south Of Nash
vile in Brown county.
BY an act of the legislature the
state was authorized to sell the me-
ander lands of the Kankakee river |
in the old English lake districts. !
A portion of these, consisting Of
approximately $500 acres lying be-
tween the great levees in this dis
trict, has been decided to the state |
by the adjoining owners and is now
known as the Kankakee game pre-
serve.
This district was, before its drain
age, the resting and feeding place |
of myriadS of waterfowl, the habitat |
of thousands of fur-b bearing animals, |
the greatest fishing grounds in the |
midwest and contained magnificent |
flora.
It is the ambition of the depart
ment to restore it to its original

During the past year the council
has conducted an extensive survey

E4. D. Beach, Born In This City, May Revolutionize Photography
 By New Camera Lens Invention
Distinguished Son of New Britain Makes Discovery Sought by Scientists Throughout World.

X problem which baffled leading icientist9 in the field of photography
 or years was solved by Howard D. 5each, associate Of Royal Photo { graphic Society or Great Britain, 'orn ln this city and educated in he public schools here the inten- Ion Of photos~a nhic lens which completely reyolutiontzes the field of photography giving it an entry into me fHld of fine arts which has
 herto1ore been denied.
 Mir. Beach was born here on March T, 1867. After being edu-
 2ated in the public schools he en- cred the field of photography in he employ of the late J. B. David son, who at that time maintained photographic studio here. He con-
 lnued in the work of photography |ndtr the supervision of the late ].
 \. Lewis, who bought out David-
 on. In 1881 he went to Buffalo.
 \. Yr where he studied rhoto-
 -r2phE under Andrew Simson. one 7t the finest photographers in the country 2t that time In 1HG- he bought half interest in the concern
 nd later the other half Mir. Beach still maintains the business in Buf- alo. He has been visiting in this cty for several days.
 When Mr. Beach worked with
 onses he always fixed the lens to
 suit his own ideas In January. 1929, the idea which photographers of all nations have been searching for came to him. He began 10 de- .Neiop it, but at every turn of the road he was told that what he had
 n mind was physically impossible. Through patient efforts ha invented 7 lens which he named the Beach 3I1lltifocal l.ense. The greatest foa- tHre Of the new lens is the ability .!o produce draWin:-in perspective which has never before been ob- talnel before in optics For the first time in optics it gives pin hole perspective. Besides that it gives increased speed superior textures, correct planes, and a richness to the , image which has l never before been obtained l. cor . rects and does away with all wirv- <. 'tess on one hand and fuzziness on
 he other hand It has depth Of !
 ocus reaching to universal focus at 1
 T instantaneous speed. This lens
 IS said, will revolutionize the talk
 of pictures.
 The lens, says its inventor. will he
 Ii" means of the entrance of the :conco Of photography into the field 9f fine arts.
 D 10 this time speed in photo-
 raphy has never been accom- panied by depth of focus but here hey go hand in hand, Mr. Beach avs. For instance if one wished 10 ake picture of an automobile at the opposite side of the ''reet with a house behind the vehi- T" making back9round-the 1ouse would bc blurred and out of oeus. With this lens all comes into 'i"ar delineation, Mir Reach says.
 Scientists all over the world. but specially in Germany, were per
 jrhod at not being able 10 obtain '3ch a lens, and while keeping it in hlnd had practically given up Harch for it saying that it was physically impossible to invent such | lens.
 Mr, Beach also has two distinct photographic processes which arc ecret and invented by him, that he lSe5 in developing pictures. He also
