TOO HEALTHY FOR MEDICINE ' k r . i People of Tristan da Cunba Throw Supply Left by Briti?h Cruiser Into the Sea. The Island of Tristan da Cunba Is described as ''an unspoiled haven of rest for the weary soul, a meeea for those who long for relief from worries of life," by the chaplain of the Brit ish cruiser Dartmouth, which has Just returned from a visit to 'that isolated spot. . * "No need to worry .over money there, for there Is none," said the chaplain. "There are no taxes, no doctors, no lawyers, no clergymen, no policemen, not even a head man. Newspapers and mail arrive, with luck, about once every two years. "There is not even any medicine, for the latest supply of remedies was thrown into the sea by the Inhabitants, who are remarkably healthy. Epi demics are unknown.

Aw h in at tor of fact, onl.v n very small traction of the whole ai;oa of deep sen hot torn has been nurveyvd. Attention I* particu larly called to ti vast sttlmqueoua re gion around the Falkland Islands and tip as far as Montevideo, which is al must unknown, arid which, having a depth of lews than KM) fathoms, may offer opportunities for the development of lucrative fisheries. The first deep-sea exploring expe dition, that of ttye famous Challenger, was set on foot Just W> years ago. The ship lAft port In lN71i, and Ideas on the subject were in those days so primitive that there was dispute as to whether she ?should use wire or hempen rope for soundings. It took a whole day to make one sounding, or ? single cast of the dredge for bring Ing tip fishes and other animals. Since then deep-sea sonneting ap paratus has heen much Improved by Cable ships, and fishing gear has been greatly modified by steam trawlers, which use dredges. Besides, a great deal that Is of value has been learned by oceanographlc expeditions subse : quent to. that of the Challenger. Hence the new exploring vessel \tfill start out with a prospect of accomplishing a very great deal of work of real Im portance. TOO MUCH FOR SMALL MINDS Childish Messenger* Have Hard Time Remembering Names of Books They Are Sent For. "1 want 'JtessurectlOn In the Parks,' " demanded h little chap of the librarian at tile West Indianapo lis branch library. "My brother sold for me to get it for him." The librarian did not wish to let the little chap know she whs puzzled. She knew It was something that went (?i in the pnrks that the boy wished. The "resurrection," she decided, might be. "recreation," and that was what she suggested. "That's It," j smiled the little chap, "I knew I had that word wrong." Librarians often deal with little brother* and sisters who are running erran<Js for big brothers and sisters_ In high school. When one of the tots asked the librarian at the West Indi anapolis branch for ^Europe's Fa bles," the librarian smiled, for that was simple to translate into "Aesop's ba bies." It was different when another asked for "Out of the Twist," the librarian then had to inquire diligent ly before she found that the child patron meant "Oliver Twist." ? Indi anapolis News. / Explanation Briefly Made. Harold Knutson, Bepublloan whip of the house, tells a yarn about an old fellow up in his country who has a Job carrying the mail from the depot t)o the postolllce, for all of which he gets $1 a trip. Some of the hoyS around the gro cery store the other night got 'to kid ding the old chap about his Job and, eventually, they asked hlrft how much he made out of It. "I make -SI a trip, three trips 11 day, * 1 'jr. n month, or $.T<hh) n year," he sit Id. These figures not sounding just rlghr, one of the hoys sought to pin him down on his calculations. "How do you make m year?" he asked. "A-carrj In' the mail," responded Ihe carrier. ;? i > ? I with those few word* he depa rted. Saturday Change.

"The Para rubber, one of the best j of the grades of raw rubber, which got its name from the port of Brazil from 'which so much of It is shipped, Is obtained from trees that thrive in the hot damp forests of the Amazon.

Then .the natives dip paddles in the rubber latex and hold them in the smoke until the fluid coag ii lat es and forms a layer on the paddle The paddle Is dipped into the latex again and again and smoked until a sufficiently large quantity of rubber Is collected. It is then removed and rolled into loaves for export. It cmiics to the manufacturer in this form, brown or black on the outside. gray on the insbb'. and with a peculiar smoked fish odor.
