Despite; all that has been said to the contrary, | there aro still suit-water sailors who aro able to save a windjammer and her cargo from Davy Jones’s locker. The Sterling hailed from Seattle and was one of the best known of the old-timers that traded in Pacific waters. She was as sturdy a craft as ever bucked the typhoons of the Oriental coasts and sho had rounded the Horn without the disturbing creak of a timber or the loss of a sail. She was just the vessel that an enthusiast would choose for his ideal long, lei­ surely voyage in the seven seas. If ho had taken this particular voyage ho would have had his fill of ocean adventures, The mere' official details as made on the log are to the effect that the Sterling left Adelaide on last April 15, and, reached St. Thomas October 15, and, crossing the Atlantic, arrived at Horta, Azores, on January 10, and two days later started under tow for the end of her trip. To these bare facts the captain add­ ed that from the time he left Ade­ laide ho “faced weather which I had never seen before.” Near the Falk­ land Islands ‘we were struck by a squall that carried away the mainmast and mizzenmast; 300 miles west of the Cape Verde Islands we struck an­ other storm, breaking the foremast off short.” He left the brlcge during; this part of the voyage only at short • intervals; “for day after day we were battered by mountainous seas.” It is possible that the Sterling may have made a-record, on this voyage. Sailors, however, are not so desirous of preserving records of slow trips as they are of fast voyages. They have pride in the performance of the Ther­ mopylae, which in 1890 made the run ix'oin Java to London, 13,000 miles, in f evenly-two days; in tho famous American China tea’clipper ships, the Natch', z, v.liich in 1853 sarled from Caiit .n to New York, 13,955 miles, in •a vz.mty six days, and tho N.

A. Schaeffer, the University of Kansas, reported recently in describing new experiments before zoologists of the American Association for the Ad­ vancement of Science. Says Service Daily Science News (Washington): “Dr. Schaeffer made over periments with blindfolded persons on the open prairie of Kansas and Color­ ado, on the ice of a reservoir in Mas­ sachusetts, on a race-track in Tennes­ see, and in a 160-acre field. The sub­ jects walked, swam, rowed, and drove auttomobiles blindfolded, and in each case they steered essentially the same kind of a curving path. Usually they Started out with a straight stretch, and then began to turn in circles, and these circles usually became smaller in diameter. A twenty-four-year-old mental imbecile, with the mind of a four-year-old child, was tested, and I the path he took was like that of a ■ normal person, indicating that intel-I lect does not play any large part in ■ directing the spiraling mechanism.; No connection between right and left handedness and the direction taken by the spiral turns could be found. 'There is no doubt that the same me­ chanism that produces theser experi­ mental spirals, when blindfolded, also makes one go in circles when lost,’ the zoologist -stated. To be lost, he explained, means that the orienting Senses are not functioning. The spir­ aling mechanism appears to bo lo­ cated in the central nervous system and to operate when the mechanism that controls balance and orientation is not in normal control,” Story of a Printer’s Blunder.

Baby’s Own Tablets Are Fine for Nervous, Sleepless Children.* From Canada the fame of Baby’s Own Tablets is spreading over the world. Mothers recommend them to other mothers and wherever they are tried nothing but words of praise are heard for these pleasant tasting little tablets that promptly relieve the minoi' ailments of young children. “Baby’s Own Tablets are one of the best remedies for children’s ailments I have ever used,” says Mrs. Arthur T. Allen, of Auburn, Me. “My little girl was nervous and could not sleep. I tried the Tablets and she was re­ lieved at once. She was also troubled with constipation and nothing to help her. I had used the but a short time before her were regular. All mothers keep Baby’s Own Tablets in the house for they are a valuable remedy.” Baby’s Own Tablets are sold by all druggists or will be mailed on receipt of price, 25 cents pel’ box, by The Dr. Williams’ Medicine Co., Brook­ ville, Ont. seemed Tablets bowels should ■& Why Prince of Wales Was Named David London.—Most of us know the Prince of Wales is called “David” by his relatives and Rever “Eddie,” there will be some interest in the Dowagei' Lady Radnor’s claim in her newly pub­ lished book of reminiscenses that it was she who suggested this name. Lady Radnor believes the Britons are descended from the ten lost tribes and the ro^aT family from King David, the chap who slew Goliath. She sent a message to the Queen, then Duchess of York, asking that if a son was born to her he should be called David. The Duchess liked the name, but “won­ dered what reason Bhe could give” for calling her son by it. Lady Radnor suggested that it could be included among the other names of the four patron saints of these Islands and that, she Writes, “is how the Prince of Wales cafrie by the name of David.” ovor- Wash- of the —.. ...........

A few years ago Canadians were In­ clined to be apologetic concerning their Winter climate and to resent public mention of its seasonal peculi­ arities—as Kipling learned when he wrote about “Our Lady of the Snows.” Now It Is all different. We have learn­ ed to capitalize our Winters and the publicity agencies tell the world in words and pictures about the beauties of the ski trails and the invigorating and beneficent- Influences of zero tem­ peratures. This is more than merely making the best of an inevitable situation. Canadians themselves have been sold on their own Winters and out of the fulness of personal experience they recommend them to those of softer climates. Ottawa, for Instance, takes to its skis with the first snowfall, and on afternoons and week-ends the wooded hills and open spaces in the vicinity are dotted with thousands of the young and middle aged venturing their skill on the precarious runners against the forces of gravity and the perils of hidden stumps. Summer to them is but an inconvenient Interval between skiing seasons. ----------*---------- Canada and the Empire Toronto Globe (Lib.): The "new status” question is entitled to a rest. Canada has done well in the last six­ ty years, as waa made plain during Diamond Jubilee year.
