On this ideal circle tour of about 6,000 miles through a dozen states you see practically every kind of scenery, every phase of topography, every variety of plant life every species of animal life, every sort of mineal wealth and every beauty of landscape that our West affords.

SHIPS THAT FATTEN SAILORS 1 • Modern "Tankers" Are Now Blamed for Added Weight Taken On by the Seamen. Shipping experts continue to argue regarding the advantages of oil fuel over coal. At present the question is occupying the attention of medical men. The adverse effect of oil fuel upon such surfaces as steel, canvas, rope and other rflipping accessories are widely known; ships’ doctors are now divided’on the question as to whether it is harmful or beneficial in its effect upon sailors, a writer in London Tit Bits states. % Sailors on oil-fed vessels are fatter and plumper than those who work on coal-fed ships. Some naval surgeons declare that the fattening effect is pro duced by the slight fumes exuded by the dormant oil fuel; others ridicule the suggestion, and maintain that the former are fat simply because they have less work to do. “Coaling ship” is one of the finest exercises in the world for reducing superfluous flesh. It is hard work that has to be maintained at high speed all day. Ships vie with each other In get ting their coal aboard in record time, and even after the operation is finished the sailors still have a few more ounces of avoirdupois to work off in cleaning up the mess below decks. Usually three days are occupied in cleaning a vessel after a bout of “coal ship.” On the other hand, oil-fuel ships perform the task In about three hours. Doctors nre asking themselves: "Is the fat a healthy fat, or an injurious parasitic growth?” If a hammock is splashed with oil fuel, all the scrub bing and boiling fn the world will not prevent a hole from appearing in it; nhd If it eats through double-ply can vas, what will oil fuel accomplish in the case of human beings? "Tanker” hands are noticing that after two or three voyages they begin to put on flesh. FAMED FOR ITS MARASCHINO Dalmatian Town of Sebenico Really Has Little Right to Other Claims to Honors. Sebenico vainly boasts of being the Roman colony Slcum, where Cladiua quartered his veterans, and so styles Itself in public inscriptions and Latin documents. But Slcum stood farther south, near Salona, at n spot still marked by Roman remains. It is to be feared that Sebenico had a sadly ignoble origin, says the Manchester Guardian. The name is said to be derived froni a word that means the fort from whence bandits watched the sea for ships which they attacked and plundered. The little Dalmatian pirates’ lair remnined quite unknown until selected in the early Middle ages by Croatian kings for their favorite residence. Apart from pos session of a picturesque land-locked harbor, the only cathedral in the world built entirely of stone gnd metal, and the nncestral house of the Orsini, Se benico hns few claims to distinction. However, by some people Sebenico will always be held in high honor for being the place where they make maraschino, an insidious liquor dis tilled from small blqck cherries. The Wrong Saint. Childhood’s propensity for getting names mixed was well Illustrated a Sunday morning or two ago when little Richard, on the way to Sunday school with his mother and sister, met' another little boy afflicted with St. Vitus’ dance. '*• Richard was deeply Impressed by the Incident and asked his mother what was the matter with the little boy. ‘‘Poor child,” the sympathetic moth er replied. ‘‘He has St. Vitus's dance.” Back at home, Richard rushed In to tell his father of the Incidents of the morning and closed with the re mark : “And—and—and we saw a poor lit tle boy who jerked all over. He had the Ritcomb Riley.’* s ,1.11 .»" -.'ll l.l I , ... I. The Man in tne Moon. Observations made from August, 1920, to February, 1921, by Prof. Wil liam Henry Pickering of Harvard, who is one of the world’s leading astron omers and an authority on lunar and Martian plienomepa, tend, he asserts, to prove beyond doubt that life exists on the surface of the moon. The fu<J?es9or bases his assertions on a series of telescopic photographs of a crater with a circumference of 37 miles. Hundreds of photographic re productions have, it it stated, proved Irrefutably the springing up at dawn, with an unbelievable rapidity, of vast fields of foliage, which come into full blossom Just as rapidly, and which disappear In a maximum period of IT days. The plates also show that great blizzards, snowstorms and volcanic eruptions are frequent. “We find,” says the professor, “a living world at our very doors where life in some re spects resembles that of Mars—a world which the •astronomical profes sion has in past years utterly negle ted and ignored.” Ship Has 18,000 Spoons. We may be cutting down our war ships. There is no reduction in our liners. This applies to size as well as to number. Take the White Star liner, Majestic. The largest steamer in the world is aptly named! Its tonnage ifj 56,000 and it is to carry 14,000 Knives, 10,000 forks 18,000 spoons, 45,000 piecA of plate in all, 178,000 pieces of linen and 270,000 pieces of crystal and glassware. When one adds it cargo, crew and passengers, one’s brain almost stag gers at the responsibility which will rest on the shoulders of the captain. —London Answers. Shoved Off. The Chasseurs Alplns, those classy French fighting men who helped train the “marines who first went to France, could never quite get accustomed to some of the marine corps lingo. One of the Blue Devils had learped the meaning of the sea-going phrase “shove-off,” but when he had his first chance to use it lie was—as the say is—not there. “Hey, French,” said a Leatherneck, “have you seen our lieutenant around?” “Oul, monsieur, oui,” said the poilu, struggling to remember the elusive phrase, “he have—wliat you call pushed over.”—The Leatherneck.
