Pacific Ocean, slighly south of the equator and about a hundred miles. ;ou,h of the Caroline Islands. This ..egion is to the north of New Guinea; it is out of the way of steamer tracks ,Ind has never been adequately charted. But, on the whole, Robinson Cru sot would have a difficult time to -da trying. to find an unknown deser Island to get wrecked upon, In hi .ixne, a little more than two hundre years ago,'tlie Pacific Ocean was dot .ed with thousands of unknown, un charted islands, both verdure-cia and barren, The • profueeon of these oceani oases, especially in the equatorial re gion, and the fact .hat they were no placed on any sailing charts, made i an easy matter to pick out a nice lonely island as remote` from tin world of men as a corner lots on Mars. Alexander Selkirk, the origina Robinson Crusoe, lived on the islanci of Juan Fernandez, three hundred tad sixty miles west of Valparaiso for three years without, setae anothe 'human being. The story: cf the discovery .ane hafting of, the Pacific's islands is escinating tale, replete with rouianc, and studded with the names of man doughty adventurers. Islands hav ween discovered, lost, and in some ;aces, rediscovered. The Solomon Is :ands, for instance, were lost for tw' een:uries and then fcund again. Most .hteresting, however, are thosa phau .tan isles, sighted once, or twice bj aaariners of sailing ships and then • ever seen again. A great deal of 'lis island hide-and-seek was due tc uncertain methods of determining •atitude and longitude at sop.. The 'est was due to the sighting of fleet. 'ng patches of marine life which, a' a distance, looked like 'islands', •to ,ubmarine earthquake and volcanic action which might push a mass above the surface of the water tem- porarily, and to the ever -active imag- inations`6f deep -water sailors, ly ifty years ago, more than a thousand tiny phantom isles were re- ported to freckle the Pacilic's seventy million square miles. The United hates Hydrographic Office, at that ime, pu;lished a "List of Reported )angers in the Pacific Ocean." The ._et, in three volumes, contained over :tree thousand reported shoals, reefs, ..nd islan:ds,,. most of them with the �.otation "Existence Doubtful" or 'Position Doubtful." To -day, the ma- lority of these reported dangers, es- ' leciaily the islands, have definitely 'disappeared;" So have sea serpents ad the other chimeras which once ,lid the adrenalin act' to adventurous tilors' hearts. Although possible, it is improbable hat other'islands may be discovered .a the vastness of the Pacific's wit- erness of waves. The improbability this lies in the fact that siib- eatene volcanic and earthquake ac - Oxides have caused, wrinkle -like tile- 'ators of the ocean's bottom on ,^hich the many groups of islands oc• ,ur and the general direction 01 these "wrinkles" may be fairly easily traced. 3, t 5 d c. c • t a c Y A GIFT TO ROYALTY.

An entirely new kind of pon'.00n, said to be of great Importance fo ;marine salvage work and far easili to handle than the old type which it bulky and unwieldly, has just been invented by- a Swedish engineer, Rag- nar Blomquist. The new device is collapsible and can be folded togeth ed and thus easily taaneported. When submerged, it opens into ite na ural • size and is filled with air through a hese leading from the com- pressor of the salvage ship.

It is reported that, shaking the Duce by the hind, he said quietly,, "Italy has need' of you, it was time that you eame,�' He has grown up' during en . excit- ing time in Italy's life. Too young to r really participate l/f'the war, he has watched the triumph of the Fascist movement with interested eyes. The feet that Mussolini has inspired ;faith in this modern, up-to-date young prince shows something of what his power must be over the masses. The prince, like his father, has a scientific mind. King Victor, as is very well known, is a monarch of; many parts, and he has always'en-' 1- couraged the prince in his twin hob- bies - science and the army. The n prince is probably the best -qualified electrician of any of the Europeao. e princes, having his own. laboratory, e and working out his own experi- ments. These include X-ray: experi- e meats, and often he and his father spend whole mornings In the Tabora- • tory, so interested uo they become_ The success ,of obtaining an Inter- n nter n view with the Crown Prince, if this t interview is not of State importance,'y depends on whethoi' "or not he is. ia. the middle of an experiment..' The prince, like moat modern o young men, is fend of motoring; arid ✓ often drives at a considerable speed. Once he was driving his car when,,oa' ✓ turning a corner in the road, he nar- rowly escaped colliding' with a car- _ coming in the opposite direction.. The owner of the car, an American, was not unnaturally indignant,. and asked the young man -of whose identity he had no idea -what he meant by scorching like that. "You ought to be hanged and quartered!" he finished up. "What, in front of my own pal- ace?" good - humorediy retorted the prince. "I don't care a button where it is, continued the American, "so long as it is done! Such men as'you are a public nuisance." Some days later at' a reception Ile came face to face with the prince, and. when he knew who he was, hard- ly knew. where' to look. The prince, however, shook hands with him kind ly, saying that he had'quite deserved all he had got. The prince's home life is a very simple one. Queen Elena of Italy is a splendid mother and all her chil- dren are very fond of her, low that 1 the prince's two sisters are married, he naturally does not see so much c them; but he is very attached to theta and often pays them visits. The prince's marriage to Princess Marie Jose of: Belgium, about which there have been so many announce- ments and denials, is to:take place early next year at. Turin. The two young people, who are genuinely in ,love with each other, are glad that at r�last all the preliminaries are over, for these State decisions which are of ne- cessity so formal and slow are a great trial to those who know their own minds only too well. The arrangements that• are being+" made show that this wedding•wiLY'be one of the most regal displays of, modern times, surpassing the wed- ding of Princess Astrid and the frown Prince of Belgium. ROME'S BiJRIBD IN JARS. Mystery of Huge Porcelain Vessels Explained In Philiiipines, Scientists. exploring caves and old burial grounds in the Philippines have been puzzled by the huge porce- lain' jars which they found in some Of the caves.
