Gotham to Have Coral Reef in Water!

NEW YORK.—Dr. Roy W. Miner of the American Museum of Natural History, who has Just • returned from a trip to the Bahamas, tn the vicinity of Mangrove bay, collected a series of coral pieces for the construction of a coral reef which is to be installed in the new Hall of Ocean Life soon to be com i pieted at the museum. This section of a coral reef will l>e I under the gallery of the hall so that a ; visitor may look down through what ' appear to be the waters of a coral lagoon and see the reef as It ordinarily appears. Upon descending from the gallery, the visitor will be able to see the coral reef as If he were at the ocean bottom. The ocean floor represented there will be 18 feet below the water’s surface. Above the gallery It is planned to surround the group with a painted background representing the shore of Andros Island, where the coral was gathered. The shore will be shown with its palm and grape trees with the Quiet waters of the lagoon in the foreground. The representation of the tropical sky will rise some 19 feet above the gallery to form a dome. The creatures of the coral reef will be

One Cent Postage Stamp Worth $32,500

UTICA, N. ¥.—A black ink impression of a crude wood cut on a small piece of red paper, sold for one cent in British Guiana In 1856, now is valued at $32,500. It is the most valuable postage itamp In existence, being worth twice as much as any other, and is owned by Arthur Hind of Utica, who also Is •aid to have the greatest collection of •tamps in the world. The stamp is the only one of Its denomination of the thirteen Issues of British Guiana. It is about the size of tn ordinary two-cent United States •tamp, but the design is lengthwise. The design consists of a plain etching of a sailing vessel, with the words “Damus Petimus” above the ship and “Que Viclssim" below it. Outside of the border of the design is printed: "British Guiana. Postage One Cent." The Initials “E. D. W.” are written diagonally across the face of the •tamp, indicating its cancellation. Mr. Hind also is the owner of the second most valuable stamp, known

Prince of Jind Visits the Windy City

CHICAGO. —A prince of India has been visiting the Windy City. He was quartered In a fashionable hotel. He was accompanied by his wife, the princess. Likewise there were with him his three •mall children. The three small children were In the custody of a prim English governess. And the secretary to the prince was attended in turn by « second secretary. And If it be not carrying the matter on ad Infinitum, is one may say. the second secretary was supported by a third secretary. The princess carried with her a secretary, too. This one was called Mrs. Mody. Mrs. Mody was accompanied by a small giri. Mrs. Mody is an abundant East Indian lady and she is draped in a blue chiffon cloth. Two more persons were in the party. • pair of Sikh guardsmen. They were tall, mysterious and gloomy. They were clad in white garments, white turbans and white trousers, the trousers being very tight all the way down to the ankles. They did not wear •ocks, their feet being protected by i sandals. ’ And. most fearsome, they I carried long shiny snickersnees, like 5 cheese knives. The prince s party occupied nine bedrooms. five bathrooms, a large drawing

Eight New Mountain Peaks Ascended

VANCOUVER. B. C.—Eight new mountains have been found and ascended and the remarkable bnt hjxherto unknown Cariboo range In British Columbia definitely located by Prof. R. T. Chamberlin of the University of Chicago department of geology and Allen Carpe. New York engineer. One of the peaks, yet unnamed, ranks nmong the highest In the Canadian Northwest. Only a vague sketch on the map of British Columbia, the Cariboo range Into which the Tomson river disappears. has long been a mystery to geologists and adventurers. It is reported that evefi the old-timers In JasI per park. Alberta, were unfamiliar with Its alpine slopes, and wary of the heavy storms that assaulted the ' peak. * In addition to the discovery and : ascent of the big glacier peaks, Chamberlin and Carpe hare located the headwaters of the Totnsou and Canoe rivers, the latter of which follows rhe Rocky mountain trench to the Columbia river. They are the first white

“Hook and Eye” Baptists Get Giddy

Through the use of this | tube the party from the museum de I scended to the floor of the ocean and | made sketches, measurements and photographs from the " observation [ chamber, quite tn comfort and in nor- j mal atmospheric conditions. Dr. Miner | said it was the first time that scientific artists have made sketches on the floor | of the sea In the Williamson tube. More than Aslxty water color sketches j were made and more than 1.000 pho- : tograpbs and 2,000 feet of motion pic- . ture films. ! The most important result of the use i of the submarine tube.

This stamp is a two-pence, dark blue on a thick, yellowish paper and is valued at $15,000. The initials of the | engraver, J. Barnard, appear on the bust, the central figure of the design. Only one stamp of this issue remains and also only one of Mauritius No. 1. a one-penny, orange on a bluish white, which is valued at $12,500. The third most valuable Issue Is that ■ of 1851-1852 of the Hawaiian islands, a two-cent stamp which is valued at SIO,OOO. Another unique copy owned by Mr. Hind is a five-cent dull blue stamp, issued in 1846 by the town of Boscawen, N. H.. which is valued at $12,000.

The prince is handsome, perhaps fifty, wears English clothes. The princess is perhaps twenty-five. She wears a diamond In her nose and she is pretty. His highness is the prince of Jlnd, which is a state of the Punjab. It has a population of 400.000. The income of the prince of Jind is some $450,000 j a year. On the street the prince wears Eng- I lish tweeds and a velours hat. with a cane that has a crooked handle. His • pants have very nice creases. His goatee is shining black. The maharajah and his family came to Chicago in care of Mr. Nevin, the man assigned by a touring agency to guide the prince of Jind and his family while they see the sights of America. The prince got tb the hotel at midnight. Then he ordered something to eat for every one. A cook had been kept in the kitchen for that. Every ' 'one had something hot to eat before i they went to bed.

and it is from thia rule that the sect gets its popular name. As a rule the women, especially the younger ones, are fair to look upon and some of them might emerge from a Fifth avenue hair dresser’s and be called “ravishing beauties." With their soft speech, downcast eyes and extreme modesty these demure misses, however, would be strangely out of place In the resorts where Jam, bobbed hair, scant costumes, rouge and flappers flourish. There is no poverty among this sect and the Golden Rule Is ever operative. When necessary they are ready to share their possessions with others. However inspired to reaction. It to a fact that the younger members of the sect have discarded hooks and eyes and actually forced the elders to modify the laws, permitting the use of buttons. Moreover, members have been permitted to purchase trucks and tractors for farm work, and—now prepare tor a shock—some of the faithful i have even been allowed to buy auto * mobiles 1

“Giant Power” a Further Development of What Was Called “Super Power” By GIFFORD PINCHOT, Governor of Pennsylvania. BECAUSE our people must have abundant and cheaper power, cheaper transportation, better and cheaper living, and because these advantages should be made available to all of them without the exclusion of or discrimination against any class—for these reasons and many more Pennsylvania has taken the lead in the matter of what we have named “giant power.” Giant power is not a mere phrase to catch the eye and give a new meaning to an old and limited idea; it was coined to visualize tl.e vast economic and social project which Pennsylvania has set on foot, and for the preliminary survey of which she has appropriated $35,000. “Giant power” is a further development of and a radical advance from the proposals put forth under the name '“super power” some years ago. The ends we have in view which were not specifically included in the super-power idea are the providing of current to the rural population, trunk line railroad electrification, giving the benefit of this saving to all the people of the state, leading to radical reduction in rates, especially to the smaller consumer, and at least in proportion to the reduction in costs. The way we propose to attain these ends is through: The generation of electricity in steam stations of very large size, say I of 650,000 horsepower capacity, so as to secure all the economies possible from quantity production. The location of these stations at or near the coal mines, so as to eliminate wasteful railroad haul. The recovery in these stations of the by-products of coal, often more i valuable than the coal itself, so as to reduce the actual cost of fuel to a point that should put electric current at these stations on an equality as i to cost with current from the best water power sites, such as Niagara. A trunk system of transmission lines reaching 220,000 volts capacity, so as to reduce the cost of transmission. The assembling or integration of power, transmission and distribu- ! tion systems into one physical service unit regardless of ownership, so i that the economies of generation and transmission may be passed on to i the public throughout the state. — Vamping in Politics Isn’t Fair Whether Done by Man or Woman By MRS. GENEVIEVE ALLEN, California. Vamping isn’t fair. It isn’t fair whether done by man or woman. But it is one of the ways in which things are accomplished in politics. Like all people truly interested in politics, I recognize the fact that vamping has been done, and will be done. It’s a great pity laws cannot be passed on their own merits, without injecting anyone’s personality into the campaign in their behalf. Os vamping, in the generally accepted sense, I heartily disapprove. But when you speak of women—or men—making themselves look ,as well as possible, then I’m on your side. It is the duty of every human being to look as well as possible, all the time, and I think it is unfortunate ' if a woman politician needs to look better when speaking before a com-, ! mittee than on ordinary occasions. I’d rather leave actual vamping to both men and women who haven’t j brains enough to think of really good arguments. Mark Twain Was So Thoroughly and Deliciously the American of His Era By CLIFFORD SMYTH, in International Book Review. For this particular period in our development, however, with its striving to give concrete —and often satirical—expression to certain emerging forms and currents of the national life, the name of Mark Twain suggests itself as peculiarly fitted for leadership. In all his virtues as well as his defects- —for he had them—he was so thoroughly and deliciously the American of his era, one can imagine posterity declaring that if he was not the greatest of all American writers he was the one that stuck closest to his native soil and who gave the profoundest portrayals of certain primitive types that had not been attempted until his day. His example, the bracing tonic of his originality and fearless truth-telling gave the initial impulse to a whole literary era, the movement and meaning of which is only now dawning upon us. Without Mark Twain there would have been no “Main Street,” no “Babbitt,” no small-town chronicles, no Western fiction of the type grown familiar to us. The Amazing Procession of Ice Cream Eaters and Soft Drink Imbibers By DR. T. R. THORNBURN, in Woman’s Home Companion. To me, one of the most amazing sights of a summer night is the procession of ice cream eaters and soft drink imbibers as they come from parks and other open spaces. They have had dinner or supper at 6 :30 or 7 o’clock. They have been resting on park benches or lying on the grass while digesting the evening meal. Now that they have burned up all the calories consumed at supper, they feel cooler, and they credit this comfort to the cooler temperature of the open leafy spaces. They dread returning to the narrow streets and their constricted rooms, so on the homeward way they step into a drug store or soft drink parlor and order almost anything that is iced, from a plain sirupy soda to the soda dispenser’s latest concoction of ice cream, fruit and chocolate or marshmallow sauce. Into their calm and comparatively cool systems they pour hundreds of calories which must be burned up. By the time they reach home biey are suffering again from the heat. Pending in Congress Nearly 100 Proposals to Amend the Constitution By R. E. L. SANER, American Bar Association. There are now pending in congress nearly one hundred proposals to amend the Constitution, practically all of them conceived, fostered and urged by highly organized bureaus or associations. Virtually all of them strike at the fundamental principles of our government, and many of them are fostered by the selfish interests of minority factions for” purposes purely selfish. / The insistent demand of this paternalistic movement is for creating new bureaus and departments and offices, vastly increasing the number of federal employees, with a relative increase in the cost of government. If the tendencies of the times are not checked, if a halt is not called, the congress would, if unrestrained by the Supreme court, speedily wipe out state lines and 4 our government would degenerate into a paternal sumptuary bureaucracy, government, directing and controlling every activity of its citizens, even to the method and manner of their living. E. H. Gary, United States Steel Corporation—There are men in congress who are naturally selfish and who act and vote and talk with a view of advancing personal interests. • Os course those men are unworthy of their position. There are other men, with perhaps good minds, certainly good intentions, but who in their actions are just as bad as the first nsned, men of little experience in business affairs, some with poor judgment, some influenced by considerations that are unworthy, without knowing ft, who by their action are bringing harm upon the country, men whn seen to he inconriderste of the best interests of our people.
