I Ortolan, minesweeper detailed by Secretary Wilbur for tempor ary duty with the California Academy of Sciences, has return ed here from a trip S of several months to islands off the west coast of Mexico, whither it took a ' party of scientists. . The expe dition . brought back many rare specimens of birds, plants, fishes, reptiles, fossils and Insects for the museum of the academy. The party, in charge of Dr. G. Dallas Hanna, curator of paleon tology In the academy, sailed Ap ril 15. bound particularly for the little known . . Revillagigedo Is lands, 400 miles west of the Mex ican '.mainland. ,. - f'One of the most striking col lections made," related Dr. Han nal "was of fishes about the coral reefs of these Islands. Here abound great numbers of gaudy and1 grotesque species showing close relationship to the fishes of . Hawaii. .These species are slow swimming and persistently live in shallow waters. The question for the ichthyologists to answer Is hqw did they get where1 they are. Vast a by as ma l depths separate the Revillagigedo islands from all other known land. Can It be that these volcanic peaks , are ' the above-water remnants of a form- - er "continent or archipelago now lost beneath tlie waves? ; - y "The deep: canyons of Socorro Island are' heavily .forested and here we found a veritable botan ists' paradise untouched by human bands. Strange trees, flowers, vines and shrubs were on every side. Among the trees' was one 'which Immediately attracted our attention because of the large number of parrots and other birds whlchj-were feeding on the fruit. Our Mexican companions Informed us that they knew of no similar fruit in Mexico and thus far it has not been learned even . to what family it belongs. It is about the else, shape and color of a ripe bltve but there the similarity ceases, because the pulp is sweet and delicious. It was verr nse- fm to m on some of our long Journeys overland, where all food and . water had to be carried on our bacVs. A sufficient supply of seeds of the tree was brought back for experimental purposes. ' "We found the region about the IB Revillagigedo islands inhabited by tended funeral wherein the grand many whales, mothers and young, daughter was cast for the chief Just as our fathers did la the early role Is current teahouse gossip, days of whaling. They called the t.m w affianced to Mon place the Cow Pasture for that reason. "A spring ot fresh water was re-located on Socorro island and marked In such a way that hence forth It can be readily found. This. the only fresh water within hun- dreds of miles, was first found by Col. Grayson, a California pioneer who was wrecked In the Island In 1869. While getting ! his scant supply of water ashore from his stranded vessel his; Mexican boy noticed a small land bird drink ing from a tide pool, j Investiga tion showed a' large spring of ex cellent water flowing! out of a laya wall below high tide line, and the lives of his entire party were saved thereby, j Although he. described the location of the spring and printed it in 1872, many people who searched for it after ' that failed to find It."

Through the torn of san industrial ; by-product which has hitherto been wasted, Stockholm Is "henceforth " to . be made a free-dust city. After conclusive tests the auth orities have discovered that by sprinkling . streets or roadways that are either macadamized or uapaved with the, lye In which wood pulp has been dissolved, they become coated with a resilient substance which holds the dust down even in heavy traffic. At ursr, me sireeis so treated are a bit sticky, but as soon as the liquid Bas evaporated the residue forms a brown coating that In many re spects excels crude oil or any tar- lite substance. The slight odor1 also disappears very quickly. In the past the puli mills have been in the habit ot pouring this chem-1 leal laden liquor away. i i f r . : In the suburbs of Stockholm a piece of roadway has been treated" with -the new liquid every two weess, and now the surface is smooth and hard as though coated lth some kind of asphalt. ; Tell your eastern friends about the progressive .spirit of the city of.

At all times those rulers and statesmen enjoyed the greatest prestige who had suc ceeded in Increasing tteir na tions prosperity.

By what right then Is Germany stigmatized as a wouid-ne c-evourex or. ine rest of the world?"
