Fate Of The Stowaway

Not As Severe Now As In The Olden
Days
The fate of a stowaway in the
“good old days” was summary and
Severe. He could have little doubt as|
to what he would get—an introduc-|
tion to the rope's-end, and a voyage
of slavery in working his passage.
To-day the stowaway meets with a
far more prosaic reception. Repeat-

New Northern Passage
Discover Warm Water Channel
Through Arctic Ice

The Soviet ice breaker Sadko=re-
ported by wireless it had discovered
@ warm water passage through Arc-
tic ice which might be a section of
an open channel through which
steamers could navigate to the far
east from Europe by way of the polar
regions.

George Ushakov, head of the expe-
dition exploring Arctic areas, said
the passage was 650 feet wide, cut-
ting through previously unexplored
territory between Franz Josef Land
and Nicholas the Second Land. He
reported the water Jane was flanked
by fields of impassable ice.

Ushakov, who also announced the
discovery of a new island, said he be-
lieved the water was a part of the
Gulf Stream. The passage was re-
ported extending due north from the
position of the Sadko, given as 8114
degrees northern latitude, approxim-
ately 700 miles from the north pole.

The position of the island was
given as 80,51 degrees northern Jati-
tude, 75.25 longitude, placing it east
of the Franz Josef group in a prac-
tically unexplored area.

Selassie Has Secret Fund

Former Emperor Left Millions
Defend Country Against Italy

Reliable sources said Emperor
Haile Selassie has a large secret fund
of gold and silver to pour out in
fighting Italy in the event of hostili-
ties.

The money, amounting to several
million dollars, had been left by the
late Emperor Menelik in his last tes-
tament for the defence of his country
and is deposited in secret caves
known only to the emperor.

To

d at the ports of any civil-
ised country, even could stowaways
remain concealed for a whole voyage.

Today the life of a stowaway is
still fraught with danger. Examples
have occurred of men trapped like
rats by the shifting of cargo, or suf-
focated through lack of ventilation.

The Great Eastern, that wonder
ship of the reign of Queen Victoria,
carried a grim secret below the wa-
terline all the days of her seafaring
life. From her very first voyage to
her last she carried an involuntary
stowaway—the body of a dead man—
but the fact was never discovered un-
til she reached the shipbreakers’
yard. Then the skeleton was found in
her hold, and proved to be that of a
workman who. had been engaged in
her construction.

A curious stowaway story is told
by Captain John Attwood, who has
just retired after nearly 47 years at
sea. His last command was the
Union-Castle liner Balmoral Castle.

When he was second officer of the
Goth in 1901 he found an escaped
Boer prisoner who was six feet three
inches tall hiding in a case described
as containing “curios,” and measur-
ing less thah five feet in length.

This interesting curio was consign-
ed to an eminent officer of the Buffs
(East Kent Regiment), and the box
is still to be seen in the museum on
the island of St. Helena.

During the last war vigilance at all
ports was great, for as far as Britain
Was concerned the sea provided the
only route for escaping prisoners.
Nevertheless, one or two enterprising
Germans managed to get away, and
a particular individual for whose re-
capture loud clamour had been raised
by a national newspaper sent a post-
card to that organ of public opinion
announcing his safe arrival in Den-
mark,

Found Fortune In Pillow

Chinese Spent Last Coin For Purchase
That Brought Wealth

A poor Chinese who bought a little
red satin pillow with his last coin—
because he thought his wife would
like it—now finds his purchase has
brought him a fortune. The lucky
man, Chen Ting-ngoh, had borrowed
a dollar (1s. 5d.) from his brother-in-
law when he met a destitute Russian
who offered him the pillow. He knew
his wife would be pleased with its
marvellous embroidery and paid over
his last dollar. But when he reached
home he was afraid to tell her how
he had “wasted” the borrowed dollar.
So he lay down, with his head on the
pillow to think matters over. The
pillow was so uncomfortable that
Chen became irritated and began to
tear off its covering. Embroidery of
even greater beauty was revealed
and he went on tearing off successive
coverings till he came to a ball of
cotton wool. It contained 49 pearls
of great beauty and size. Now Chen
is richer by £3,867—the sum he ob-
tained for the pearls. The pillow is
said to have been lost by the Empress
Dowager Tsz Hsi during the boxer
rising, when she fled from Peiping.

Per Capita Distribution Is One To
Every 75 Persons

Although Germany in the early
days of the industry was an impor-
tant producer of automobiles, and
still produces and exports far more
than Canada, it has fewer motor
Vehicles in use by a couple of hun-
dred thousand than this country.
According to Paul Sykes, Canadian
trade commissioner in Hamburg, a
Survey showed 866,000 passenger and
commercial motor vehicles in use
throughout Germany in 1934. The
Per capita distribution was on a basis
of one to every 75 persons. In Can-
ada it is about one to nine persons,
and in the United States about one
to five.

Germany would therefore appear
to be a long way from the saturation
point, and a wonderful market for
cars is awaiting manufacturers at
home or abroad, Evidently it will be
for German manufacturers, and they
ought to do pretty well out of it, un-
der the trade regulations set up. In
Canada we think the tariff pretty
high, but Mr. Sykes summarizes the
German situation as follows:

“The import duty amounts, -in the
case of a medium-weight car of
whatever price, to from $400 to $600
(Canadian currency) per unit. Also,
it has now become difficult, and at

Miners’ Strike Threatened

British Miners Are Dissatisfied With

Wages And Working Conditions

A national miners’ strike will be
declared in Great Britain if demands
for higher wages and better working
conditions are not met, Ebenezer
Edwards, secretary of the Miners’
Federation, declared in a manifesto
in London. The manifesto asked the
public to help the miners to avoid a
crisis.

“The hour has struck,” it said.
“After years of patient submission to
conditions fit for slaves, the miners
have decided to enforce their de-
mands for the payment of reasonable
wages. Their wages are a shame for
a civilized community,”

Creature Said To Resemble Man And
Eats Human Flesh
Inhabitants of the Amoy coast,
China, have been terrified by reports
of a sea monster with a yast appetite
and a partiality for human flesh.
The world’s latest marine terror
bears little resemblance to the fa-
mous sea serpents of British Colum-
bia and Scotland. The Amoy monster
is said to closely resemble a man
when seen from afar although no one
has been close enough to obtain an
accurate description of the creature.
The monster is modestly clad in
léng black hair and is reported am-
phibious. Apparently it does not
possess the long sinuous body and
camel-like head attributed to
Canadian serpents.

Appointment Of Commission Will Bo
Made This Fall

Action in regard to appointment of
the royal commission on health ap-
proved some months ago at the Do-

inion-provincial health
held in Ottawa will not be taken un-
til the fall, Col. the Hon. D. M.
Sutherland, minister of national
health, said. The whole subject was
one of such extreme importance that
it could not be rushed, the minister
added.

Much preliminary work had to be
done in the way of consulting the
various interests involved—doctors,
nurses, dentists, druggists, labor,
agricultural and financial. These, said
the minister, will have to be co-relat-
ed in order to get “preliminary
action” before definite steps towards
instituting the inquiry can be made.

Civil Aviation Covers China
Length Of Airlines Now Totals Over

Civil aviation is gaining so rapidly
in China that every province, except-

definite airline crossings, and even
these will soon be reached through
regular service. The total length of
airlines is over 7,625 miles, according
to the Ministry of Communications.
Before the end of this year the China

National Aviation Corporation ex-
pects to complete its entire new
equipment program providing the

latest and most improved type of
equipment for all divisions. The com-
pany also plans to make a feature of
excursion flights from Peiping over

Resort To Old Remedy

Natives Of Trinidad Still Use Leeches
As Cure

The judge of the workmen's com-
pensation court at Port of Spain,
Trinidad, was surprised to hear that
natives of this British island colony
still resorted to the old-time remedy
of using leeches to cure an injured
person by bleeding.

But H. Hudson Phillips, barrister-
at-law who was arguing the case,
was not surprised and told the court
SO.

“There is a roaring trade between
Martinique, Guadeloupe and Trinidad
with leeches,” he said. “They are
procured from the rivers of the
French colonies. They are fed on
charcoal and sold in the eastern
market here.”

Sharing The Worry

The bride of a few weeks noticed
that her husband was depressed.

“Gerald, dearest,” she said, “I know
something is troubling you, and I
want you to tell me what it is; your
worries are not your worries now,
they are our worries.”

“Oh, very well,” he Said. “We've
just had a letter from a girl in New
York and she's suing us for breach
of promise.”
