Bert, of soul' is a relic of unique historic sigui ante.• But all the new stamps of our d.are Pictured history. Most of the are specially elesign.od---like those Mucha, a Czech artist, who shows head of President Masaryk, the blase smith ruler of Bohemia. Many of t stamps are old issues, often "su charged" or "overprinted" by invacl - and now masters --like the Greeks Asia Minor, the Roumanians in (Hu garian) Transylvania; the llirrainia in Galicia, and the Italians in t1 much -disputed Dalmatian ports—e pecially D'Aiuruuzio's "Faithful Cit . of Fiume.In sorite cases, the existing stam have been so hastily altered that "e rocs" have arisen, and the issue ha in consequence, been withdrawn, a ter a' very few examples have bee overprinted. It is these which so o ten l�econie the collector's albu -prizes. Sometimes they are worth ver large sums indeed.

To -day stamp -collectors the world over yovng end old, rich and poor, of both eehes--•at'e having the time of theirlives. For never, surely, was there such a flood of new stamps from new Steles, or such a tide of freakish is- el.ee 11 lid local makeshifts. I know a soldier who brought back a seers' of "British Occupation of Bag- dad" stumps, and made $150 each on therm, Ile paid just 81.85 for the lot. In the past year nearly three thous - mid new stamps have been poured out by all nations, from Ireland to Ethire pia.. The Sinn Fein "Republic" - has its own issues; the rarest of these were seized by political officers at the storming, of Liberty Hall, in the Re- bellion of 1916. Poland has portraits of Paderewslri and Pilsudski on her nein national stamps,'to balance the rival claims of statesman. and soldier in the State's regeneration. The Republic of Es- thonia favors a design of birds wing- ing up out of a sternly sea. German Austria has a now series by the artist Josef Renner, Czeclio-Slovakia stamps bear the head of Thomas Masaryk, the new president, whose career of ad- venture and persecution, from his blacksmith days until now, is as lurid a recb'd as anything in a boy's book, This state, by the way, has separate issues for Bosnia, Croatia, Slavonia, and Dalmatia, since the "family" or racial feeling in these provinces is still very strong. Some Freakish issues, Armenia, Georgia,. and the unheard. • of Republics of Ararat and Azerbaijan all esti! exubdrant tales of freedom in colored "scraps of paper," which are now keenly sought by collectors in Western Europe. As for invaders' stamps, these are either special pro- paganda issues --like those of the Italians in Fiume' --or else overprints upon local stamps, often with the Money value altered. Thus the Greeks issued Turkish stamps in Asia Minor bearing the words, "Hellenic Occupation," The King of the Hedjaz ordered flew stamps With his own portrait and that of the Emir r'eisul, who played so lin. portant a part in the Arab liberation. Serbian issues show the rising sun of a new day, and there are similar "oele- bration" issues by famous cities like Liege and Dantzig. Very rare and valuable aro the freakish stamps produced by the West Ukraine Government, when their over- eager forces invaded Austrian Galicia. Even Schleswig has a new stamp.

The Rainbow's Sound. Incredible as it may seem, a beam of light can be made to produce sound. A ray of sunshine is thrriwn through a Iens on to a glass vessel containing lampblack, colored silk or worsted, or any like substance. A disk having slits or openings cut in it is made to revolve swiftly in this beam of light, so as to "cut it up," thus causing alter- nate flashes of light and shadow. When one places his ear to the glass vessel he bears strange sounds so long as the flashing beam falls upon the vessel. A still more extraordinary effect is produced when the beam of sunlight Is made to pass through a prism so as to produce what is called the solar spectrum. The disk is turned and the colored light of the rainbow is made to break through it. Now if the ear bo placed to the vessel containing the silk or other material, as the colored lights of the spectrum fall upon it, sounds will be given out by the dif- ferent parte of the spectrum, and there will be silence in other parts. For instance, if the vessel contains red worsted and the green light flash- es upon it, loud sounds will be given forth. Only feeble sounds will be heard when the red and the blue parts of the rainbow fail upon the ves- sel, Other colors will produce no sounds at all. Green silk gives out sound best 1n a red light. Every kind of material gives more or less sound in different colors and no sound at all in others. • FASHIONABLE GOWNS 1 S261 9291-9145 9276 No. 9261—Ladies' Dress. Price, cents.

She will re- phiee "the Queen Elizabeth as nagehilr oi; the A:tlaatic fleet. Possibly the new , Hood will be the last of her kind; it is certain no other will be delivered in the next four years. r The giant vessel, held officially to be a perfect blend of battleship and battle cruiser, represents the naval architect's idea of a practical realiza- tion of an ideal fighting ship. She em- bodies all the lessons of the war. She is 860 feet long, with a displacement of 41,200 tons, has a horse -power of 144,000 and a designed speed of 31 knots. IIer main armament consists of eight 15 inch guns and her second- ary armament of twelve 5.5 inch and four 4 inch anti-aircraft guns. Her full load of oil fuel is 4,00d tons. .A. "blister" renders her unsinkable by any existing torpedo. When com- pleted fpr sea the Hood will have cost $30,000,000, and the annual cost of her-' maintenance in commission will be $2,5000,000. The Landsman Afloat. Speaking at a dinner in New York, Adm. Sims said some amusing things about the Turkish navy. "It's no wonder," said he, "that the Turks failed to do much on the water in the war. The Turks were never a maritime people. The story goes, in fact, that when they came to set up a navy in Turkey they were very much embarrassed by the lack of naval words in their language. They had no word for mainsail, no word for fore -topgallant, and so on. To get over the difficulty the Turks tied such things as vegetables to the dif- ferent sails and ropes, and the men learned their duties to such com- mands as: " 'Hoist the potato!' 'Now, then, my hearties, let go the tomato with a. will!' 'All hands' aloft to reef the beef- steak!'

A Far Journey. The little boy who thought his father had gone to heaven because Ire had gone to Skye is matched by an aged cottage body of whom the Lon. don Horning Post tells. One,.morn- ing the old lady asked the Post's cor- respondent, who ledged with her, if it was far to Russia. Ile said some of it was much farther away than other parts and asked why she wanted to know. She said that they had sent het son ---a fisherman who had joined the navy—there, and that she would never see him again. and with that she fell to sobblee. Her lodger did his best to comfort her and told her that people carne back from Russia as they did from other foreign parts, "Not from where they've sent him," she said. "I shall never see him again, not on earth." "But why?" "They've sent 111111," said she, "to tiLe Arch -angels." • We must be doing something to be happy— action is no less necessary to us than thought:--Hazlitt. lite 7. ISSUE No. 4---' 0,".' The Wrong ripe. In this age of specialization the day of the Jack -o? -ail trades is almost gone, and -as for the master of none, he spoils his temper - and wastes his time, To illustrate this, a story is told of a newly married couple in a dainty cottage in a surburban quarter. Everything in the house gave com- plete satisfaction. But one evening when the husband returned from b'J j' rtes he found, to leis disgust, that a water pipe had burst. The rooms were flooded, and the carpets, which were his special pride, were being spoiled. "Well," he said impatiently to his wife, "why didn't you hal:nitrer the pipe up? (liv>. me 0 hammer and NI do it in a tw inkling." le got the hammer and pounded away at a pile down in tae celioi ; -but when he paused to examine the result of his labor, he heard the voice of his wife at the top of he stairs, "Howard," she said, "the gas has gone out and the water is still run- ning."
