AMINO WOULD KEXTAIR FEAT Some Aviator Expected to Emulate Magellan by Long Cruise. i itrui m iiiuu 9 mno 51 ILL NtW !U NiftM LAPiUO National Geographic Society Says There Arc Many Places Where Airplane, Automobile and Even Horse Woulc Be Curiosity. Washington.?"Now that the" Atlantic has been crossed and there are plans afoot to tly over the Pacific, the day may not he far distant when some aerial 'Magellan will make an airplare tour around the world," says a bulletin of the National Geographic society. i "There are still many corners of the world where airplane, automobile and even, the horse \>fould be curiosities. And if a,man set out to tour the globe and Mo lis the Romans do' in respect to adopting native conveyances be would have to: "Resort to a donkey in Spanish America and In the Holy Land. "Climb aboard a camel to traverse African deserts. "Cross some rivers of India on the Inflated skins or duiiocks, ana omers by a bridge of one rawhide rope. Using Elephant as Taxi. "Submit to the sea-going motion of an elephant when he continued his Journey on land. "Get into a man-borne palanquin at Calcutta. "Jolt over far Eastern roads in a non-shock absorbing cart drawn by oxen. "And in China he prepared to climb Into a jinrikisha, a sedan chair or a wheelbarrow." A few of these curious means of travel are described in a communication to the society by O. P. Austin, as follows: "In all parts of that great line of deserts, stretching from North Africa across Central Asia to Northwest China, the camel is everywhere in evidence; the total number in the world being estimated at about three millions. "Sot only is the camel a valuable freight carrier, but he serves as the traveling car of the Rockefellers, the Carnegies, the Morgans atad the Har? rimans of the desert. When he is chosen for this more pretentious service a light framework is placed upon his back and covered with cloths to / screen ttie occupants from the sun j/ and the observation of the passers, k and decorated with pompons of.vari Ions colors. In this gorgeous comportment, which may be not inaptly termed the "palace car of the desert,' the master of the camel train places his wife and children, his choicest merchandise, his cooking utensils and daily requirements, and travels In state, the 'observed of all observers, the envy of the- wandering native of the desert. Craft on the Euphrates. "On the Euphrates and the Tigris are still retained the curious water transports of centuries ago?the rafl of skins and the circular boats, These rafts are sustained by inflated s'-.ius, prepared for this especial purpose, and after the raft floats dnwD the river to its destination the inflated skins are removed, the air permitted to escape, and the skins carefully ' folded and carried back to the upper waters, where they are again inflated and used as the support of another and still another raft. "Even more curious to the eyes ol the traveler from other parts of th< i world j\/e the circular boats, made ol' wickerwurk and covered with skins'! ' ,or made watertight with pitch, whicf j are still In dally use on the Tigrk j and Euphrates rtvers. "The three princ'pal methods oi transportation of people in centra: and southern China are the sedar chair, the jinrikisha and the wheel barrow. "Probably more freight and mor* passengers are transported in, Chins' by the wheelbarrow than by any othei, land method. The wheelbarrow ther*, used differs from that us'ed by as in' the fact that the wheel is .<tet in thf1 center and thus supports practical!} the entire load, while the handles art supported in part by a strap or ropt i over the shoulders of the man whe operates it. As a result, the wheel barrow coolie In China will transport nearly a half ton on his vehicle." HERE'S NEW FINANCIAL "WIZ" John Fixes the Pump So That Hie Wife Can Take in Washing; L Charges Her $1.
