BY THE WAY HIPS at the bottom of the ocean will probably remain where they are, "Shipping" says, though many daring schemes for raising vessels were developed soon after the armistice, including even several for raising the Lusitania. The reason for the abandoning of these schemes is, it is said, the great fall in the values of ships, which have receded to a point where the disposal of the salvaged property could hardly be effected at any profit. This is quoted by London "Punch" as coming from a Canadian paper: "Any effective plan to replace the hewn woodlands of Ontario must come from experienced lumbermen of whom is emphatically not one Annual Spring Real Estate Hon.

A report published in the "Railway Age" says that the number of deaths from railway accidents last year was less than that from automobile accidents. The fatalities from railway accidents are placed at 6,978, while those from automobile accidents approximated 8,000. The rural correspondent of the county paper is often responsible for queer statements, a subscriber says; and offers in proof the following item: who lives north of our village, died suddenly Friday night. He complained of pains around his heart; he was never married." Another subscriber sends in a headline from a local paper which "qualifies" for a wider circulation: "Rabbi Levinowsky Here. Noted Jewish Rabbit Speaks in Chapel." The "footprint" system of identification for babies, mentioned in a caption in The Outlook for February 23 as having been used in the Jewish Maternity Hospital in Philadelphia recently for the first time in this country, has been in use at the Chicago Lying-In Hospital and Dispensary, we are informed, since late in the year 1914. Philadelphia medical papers please copy! The interest in the sea serpent recently manifested by several of our readers may make the following extract from the "Bombay Chronicle" about a stranded sea monster worth publishing: meas This evil-looking monster ures, as it lies stranded, 25% feet from "stern to stem." The huge face has something of the human in it. The mouth runs inwards for over three feet and the well-preserved rows of teeth are as sharp as spikes. Should the mouth be fully opened, it would probably disclose a capacity to swallow three men at a time. Its small twinkling eyes resemble those of an elephant and likewise its fin the ear of an elephant. It has appeared mysteriously, and the marvel is that, though looking sick and sorry, it is alive and keenly sensitive to the interest taken in its unfamiliar position. The fishermen in the neighborhood and a great many others believe it is an omen of dire portent. It lies stranded on the Jehu Sands, ten or twelve miles from Bombay, and fully ten thousand people have been to see it. Illustrating the loyalty of the Jew to his race, General O'Ryan recently told this story: A brave Jewish soldier became ill and reluctantly went to the rear. The hospital doctor diagnosed his illness as a bad case of smallpox, which would probably terminate fatally. He felt it his duty to inform the man that he was fatally ill. "All right," said the soldier; "then you'd better send for the priest." "The priest! you mean the rábbi, don't you?" "No, sir, the priest; do you think I'd want to pass on the smallpox to the rabbi?" Years ago the compiler of "Beckwith's Almanac" lived in New Haven. The white tall hat which he wore made him a conspicuous figure, and his portrait in this white hat adorned the "Almanac's" front cover. It is from this publication that a reader has selected the following rhyme under the question "Can you answer?" Where can a man buy a cap for his Or a key to the lock of his hair? of his house The nails on the end of his toes? Can the crook of his elbow be sent to jail? If so, what did he do? How does he sharpen his shoulder blades? I'll be hanged if I know, do you? Or beat on the drum of his ear? on his toes? If so, why not grow corn on the ear? In a recent number of the magazine "Asia" an article entitled "A Camera Man in Borneo" contains a picture of some Tenggara women who are described as feminists, apparently because they smoke cigarettes and do all the work of the village. Can feminism be more tersely and accurately symbolized? Apropos of the possibilities of obtaining beer by prescription, the "Arizona Phoenix" has this: "Are you Dr. Smith?" "No, but I know where we can get some." The photograph used as a heading in the article "Vendettas of the Marsh," by Archibald Rutledge, in The Outlook for March 9, was inadvertently published without the credit "Copyright, 1898, George Shiras 3d." The picture was taken by Mr. Shiras by flashlight and was awarded a gold medal at the Paris Exposition and at the St. Louis World's Fair. The rights under the copyright are now owned, we are informed, by Mr. D. Fred Charlton, of Marquette, Michigan.
