"Figuring UiAVot Ercnti f Socy-fy, U4hin?on. D. C, Co Drptmnfcf Interior, 'Carrot of C MANILA: KANSAS CITY OF THE PHILIPPINES In connection v.ith the continued discussion of Indcitendencc for the Philippines the capital city of the? islands, Manila become of special Interest. As a transport winds inward from the China sea. It passes the Island of Correghlor, heyond which Stretches Manila hay, whos llM-ziillo circumference could surround the navies of the world. Its rival will not bo found In the far Kast. On the right of its, entrance stands Cavite, when; Dewey mnk the Spanish fleet. From the hay the city of Manila fccius to lie almost at water level with hazy mountains for a hackground. Hefore the United States came to the islands Manila was a slr-py town, Kpruwletl lazily heyond the hay and the wharves of the river Pa si;:, which Insects it. Its streets were quiet and almost deserted at times, its suhurhs shady and pretty, and a general air of "manana" pervaded it atmosphere. Today its estimated population equals that of Jenvy City, Indianapolis or Kansas City; the river Is alive with launches and vessels of every description, including the househoats of a literally Moating population of fifteen thousand; and through Its port It sends yearly to other countries nearly a hundred million dollars' worth of hemp, sugar, copra, tobacco and other comodit ies. A unique Might in Manila is the Pace cemetery, which at present has fallen Into disuse. It Is conq.o-vd of two concentric walls ahout six feet thick, honeycombed with holes Just large cnou-h for a coffin. In the olden days these were leased for periods of five years. At the end of that time If no one was suiliclently Interested In tlie remains of an inmate to pay his rent for another live years his hones were thrown on a heap at the hack of the cemetery. Imagine the "shimmy' the Ileh on an ancestor-worshiping Chinaman's hackhone would perform should he deltoid the queue of one o his progenitors protruding from Hum (lolgothn. nut from the walled city near the hay shoie Is lameta, a small amusement par!, and Wallace field, used for sports and the annual carnival. In the i lay.", of Spanish rule Wallace field a? an eecut!o:i ground for political prisoners, and here Ir. Jose Kind, the Filipino surgcou, novelist and patriot, was cecutcd. MaelhAi chief shopping district Is north of the river, and enterprising Filipinos, Americans und Chinese have set up vtnres, hanks, factories nud restaurants, giving this portion of the city an up and doing air. WHAT'S IN THE NAME "AMERICA" Million; in:c "America"; comparatively few know the origin of the name. Its history and Its symhollsm ate described in a communication to the National Geographie society hy John 11. Fi nicy as follows; "America n name that was first heard on the pbvet, or at any rate first put on a piloted page, according to the hev't authorities, in the village of St. Pie, nr.ong the Vosgcs mountains in the east of F ranee, often called the baptismal font of America. "On a pilgrimage to this valley of the, Yosics some years ago, I found still standing the cloisters where the scholars had lived who wrote 'The In troduction to Ptolemy's Cosmography the lo,k In which it was shggestoU that the name 'America' he given to the nevIy-dhvoercd fourth continent and ln prepared the now famous map on which the emerging continent wr.s identified. There, too, I found the site of the old printing shop, and tin house Itself in which the printer, Jean las!n. had lived. "At the beginning of the war the Cermans had ix cupled It, and in 1P17 their guns looked down upon It from the 'blue line of the Yosgt-O The cloisters, i lo-e under the mountains, I found in a recent and second jilgrlmage had not been damaged, but there were many houses that had been deMroytd by Hiell or by wanton fire, though .lean Itasin's was still standing. "I'.urope could not readily forget the geogrephy of its infancy and childhood, but America began from its Clodfearing settle: lent with an astronomy of Infinite distances, with a geography partaking of the ky as ell as of the sea and land. "As there was no feudal system of society for America to unlearn, beginning as it did with the 'compact and 'constitutional.' so there was no physical theory of the universe for it to abandon. It was democratic and Copcrnlcan from Its first national conFCloUsiies. "With this Copernlcan consciousness of the universe. Am "rica should be the least provincial of the continents, for Asia and Africa, as well as Kurope, Ktlll remember the old cosmography and in some darker regions still cling to it."

BARBADOS: ISLAND OF VAST RESOURCES Barbados Is one of the most interesting and least known of the possessions of Great Britain. y Pear-shaped, solitary, farthest east of the West Indies, Barbados generally Is accounted the most healthful of the group, even though it is the most populous country In the world, per square mile, except China, and George Washington carried to his grave the marks of .smallpox contracted on a visit there. The island there Is hut one despite the misleading plural name Is hut "an eighth the size of our Rhode Island, hut lias 'twice as many Inhabitants Ier square mile as our .smallest and most densely iopiilated state. Seldom, does a volcano become an asset, hut volcanic eruptions have contributed largely to the fertility of Barbados. When the sun was obscured throughout one-day' In May. 1012. the Itarbadajis were panic stricken, but when the gentfo rain of black dust subsided, the deposit was found to be ashes from an eruption of St. Vincent Soufrierv, nearly 100 miles to the west, which enriched the soil. Long before that time, though, Barbados was productive. Oldest of British colonial possessions except Newfoundland. It also was the first plaeo In the British empire where sugar cane was planted. Its average crop of this now high-priced commodity Is 50.000 tons. It also has 2,000 acres planted In sea-Island or long-staple cotton; raises 40.000 bunches yearly of the Chinese banana, and exports molasses. One phenomenon of Barbados has not been accounted for. For years the .o-called "Barbados Collin Story" furnished a mystery which would interest present-day psychic Investigators. In the yard of a church near Olstln's Town is a churchyard burial vault, hewn from rock and arched with cemented stone. A woman was buried there In a lead cofl'm, according to Barbadan custom. Several years later when the vault was oimtwhI again to receive another body, the collin had been removed from its original position. Upon the second occasion special precautions were taken to seal the vault. Several tlm?s thereafter, though seals were unbroken and then h'cemed no other mode of entering the solid rock and masonry, the eoflltis were displaced. Finally the mouth of the vault was cemented, and when It was time to receive another body olhclals of the Island and an immense crowd gathered for the cere mon. Once more all the leaden caskets' were found to have been disturbed and the family had their dead removed to another burying ground. No satisfactory solution of these strange occurrences has rleen offered. A natural curiosity of Barbados Is the "Animal Flower Cave," the socalled Mowers being sea worms. Not so agreeable are the Mauehliiool, or poison trees, along tin' shores, who.'v leaves blister the skin and contaminate tin water. WHAT IS THE UKRAINE? In the heart of the Ukrainian terrltory Poles and Ukrainians participated In a struggle with the Bolshevik!. "What Is the Ukraine? The Poles and the Lithuanians of a few centuries ago knew well this most turbulent sec tlon over which they attempted to rule, and Imperial Russia for a long time was greatly troubled by this very unruly part of her expansive domain. The Tatars and the Turks felt Its proximity because of the many raids made upon them by the wild warriors of the steppes," says Nevln O. Winter in a communication to the National Geographic society. "The Ukraine Includes southeastern Russia, with the exception of the province knowui as Bessarabia, which

The great waport of Odessa and surrounding country' have been added to it under the new alignment. "The Ukraine does not reach much north of Kiev or east of Kharkov, but It is a large state In Itself, about large a the former (Icrman empire, with some twenty-llye or thirty millinns of iM.pU living in it. "There Is a lure about the limitless stretches of the stcpjKvs in the Ukraine. In wide, level spaces, or In gentle undulation, they reach out un

til sky and hori7.rv meet It; a barely perceptible line. Parts of It remind one very much of our own western prairies. In spring and summer it is an ocean of verdure, with the varied shades of green of the growing vegetation Interspersed with Mowers of many hues; later, in the autumn after the crops are harvested, it becomes a brown waste of stubble and burned-up pastures; In winter it Is a white, glistening expanse of snow. "There are not many old towns In the Ukraine. Kxcept in Kiev and Kharkov, one will hardly find a building more than a hundred years obi. No old medieval churches built up by the toil of generations of devout hands, no old chateaux of the nobility, no palaces rich -in pictures will be encountered. The great majority of the towns are still big, overgrown villages. "The towns are separated from each other by enormous distances, with Imperfect communication. The peasants plant their villages in the lee of some swell in the surface or by the edge of a stream in which they can water their Mocks during the drought which may come."

SOME BIG GAME OF THREE MILLION YEARS AGO Speaking of the brontosaurus. if any one ever did, one might paraphrase '(ielett Ihirgev.s: "I never saw a dinosaur, I never hope to see one' Yet, according to reports from African explorers a live dinosaur, a brontosaurus has been found in Africa. Now that the dinosaur is with us. potentially, big game enthusiast. will be interested in this description of prehistoric big game, quoted from a communication to the National (Jeographlc society by Barnum Brown: "Today wo must go to Africa for the biggest game ; but there was a time In the dim distant past when America produced animals larger than any now living. That was so long- ago that nothing remains of these creatures except their bones, and they are turned to stone. 'The anlmalM are dinosaurs; for the moment we w ill call them lizards not the creeping, crawling kind, but Innre reptiles that stalked upright through the Jungles, rivaling in size the elephant, the hippopotamus and the rhinoceros. "The place Is Alberta, Canada, ami the time of their existence o000,000 years ago. 'In those marshes of prehistoric times dwelt a host of reptiles, some large, some small and of various fornei, lle.h eaters and herb eaters, but all sharing certain characters In common and known as dinosaurs. Not any were closely related to any living rein tile, yet they had some characters common to the ll.ards, crocodiles and birds. of the kinds characteristic of the period one species, a herb eater named Traciiotion, was more than J10 feet long ami about 10 feet high when standing erect. Its head, with broadly-expanded mouth, resembles that of a duck, but back of the beak there are more than "J.OOO small teeth, disposed 'in many vertical rows each containing .several Individual teeth, the new ones coming up from below as the old ones wore out. !Th long hbid legs terminated In three largo-hoofed toes, and the shorter, slender front, feet were partly webbed. A long, thin, slender tall acted as a powerful swimming organ, and the body was covered with rough tuberctilate skin. Having no means of defense, It lived ehlelly in the water, where It was free from attacks of the tlesh enters SEA SLEDS FOR AIRPLANES Speed of Giant Floats Makes the Taking Off From Small Space a Matter of Ease. (Haut sea sleds capable of carrying ahplanes out In mldocean are being developed by a Boston concern. Some are equipped with four motors, totaling 1,7o0 horsep wer, and have a speed of r." miles an hour. In the event of war with a foreign nation these sea sleds would be utilized to transport heavy bombing planes acnes the ocean. Thousand.: could be sent at a comparatively lowcost. While It Is possible for an airplane to lo:rvo the deck, of a sea sled, there Is not sutheiont room for n landing to bo made. The Hying machine would have to work out Its own salvation once Its wheels left the sled. TIicm' sea sleds are built to lift and run on the surface of the water. When a speed of oO miles an hour Is reached It Is possible for an airplane to'open Its motors and leave the deck without any further runway. Kxperlments mad off the New England coast show that a small airplane can "take oft" when the sea sled is making but -SO miles an hwir in a heavy sea. Other tests are being made to develop the high power planing sea sleds into pleasure craft ftS well as for military and naval purposes. Oordon S. orme of New Orleans, n wealthy sportsman, has had a Ö'J-footer built for his use in the Clulf of Mexico. Factories have been established in Atlantic City to aid in producing the tsea sleds, which are now being tested off the New England coast. Passing True.

Harding said the last sad rites over the deceased Versailles League of Nations when its "corpse" was brought to the front porch in the midst of a great celebration by his home folks in honor of his election. The bier bearing the "remains" was carried in the parade on the shoulders of six "pallbearers". A "mourner" held aloft a banner telling the identity of the departed. The presidentelect smiled and waved his hat as the cortege passed, a band behind played a funeral dirge and later when the corpse, was taken In front of the steps, he turned to Mrs. Harding and said: There's the corpse." In his speech to the crowd of thirty thousand or more, the first address? since his election, he said in commenting on the League: "I saw in the procession the mournful spectacle of the dead League of Nations and I didn't see as much sorrow in your faces as I rather apprehended. But it was not because you or I question the wisdom, the justice, or the desirability of America having Its part in a new fraternity of nations, or because we question the high Ideals of those who were responsible for the Versailles covenant. "You just didn't want a surrenderd United States of America. "You wnntcd America to bo free and unmortgaged to the Old World. You wanted the America you have seen made under American Ideals to go on under American Ideals. That's why you didn't want the League which is now deceased." Visibly nfected by the demonstration, President-elect Harding told his home folks lie was not talking In a partisan spirit; "election Is over," he added. "The task Is such that It make any man pause. It Is too serious to be exultant. 1 like to stand before you and tell you I don't have to come with a single apology or regret. If I hud to seek tin presidency at the cost of speaking 111 or telling a lie I would spurn the olllce, because It would not l)e worth any honest man's occupancy, "We are the greatest people In the world In America and Jim world looks to us for leadership.

Sometimes they have called me a reactionary or an ultra conservative. , "What -we need is a little slowing tip by the radicals and a little speeding up by the ultra-conservatives so we can come to a common understanding and give the stabilizing Influence of America to the civilization of the world. "I am going Into olllce knowing the heart of the American people Is rlht and in the spirit of compromise and desire for an understanding for the promotion of our national Interests, and America is going on safe and sure at home and giving Its steadying and stabilizing influence to mankind and the civilization of the world.

Hut I don't mean that we want America to lead a selfish existence. We don't want to advance our own country at the cost of discouraging or neglecting the rest of the world.
