China. ShutsUp Treasure Trove
LANUIUW, Kansu, March 10- iAPl- Gbina has served notice that it will no longer play Santa Olaus to the museums of the world.
Phr many years, Chin's priceless art treasures-relics of a. WOO-year- old oi inaction-have been flowing out of thc country.
Archaeologists say, however, that what has been taken out i: as boihing compared to what still lies underground. The Chinese govern- ment has awakened to the value rod importance oi these undis- covered treasures and is taking decisive steps to protect them.
None of the national art trea- lurs ls being more closely guarded fliousand-Buddha caves, near hers, described by some who have seen hem as the most important cultural find in China in the precznl, century. Many valuable P1901». including manuscripts more than 1.000 years old, were removed burn . e caves st the time oi their discovery, but recent British and American expeditions have been frustrated in their efforts to obtain Iuecimens oi the superbly executed wall-painting and sculptures with which the underground galleries are crowded.
The Thousand-Buddha caves re- main in much the same condition as when they were discovered. An enormous task of excavation lies ahead of the Chinese government before the true extent or the cave: can be known and before

LEXINGTON, Mass, March 17- A house built on the vacuum bottle principle here may be the forerun- ner a Northeastern University pro- fessor said to-nightioi the alr- conditioned home of the future.
Its walls are 14 inches thick, its windows never open and its heating system function without registers or radiators.
Frederick Biearns. assistant pro- fessor of mechanical engineering at Boston University, has had it under observation for a year During that time, he said, because of the automatic air-conditioning system built into the dwellins. inside tom- perature and humidity have re- malrled practically constant regard- less of outside conditions.
The system, he explained, was based on the use of the double wall, separated by a four-inch air
In effect, he said, the con- struction insulated the ulterior from exterior climatic fluctuation.

LOWLY CODFISTI 1S LUXURY IN MEXICO
Oodflsh, considered as a rather lowly article of diet, is classed as a luxury in Mexico. It is consum- ed for the most part by the ‘foreign population, mainly Gennanr and Scandinavians. The native depends on local fish o.‘ which there is a variety of both fresh and salt water types. oodfish finds its big market at Christmas-time and during Lent. Norway is by far the leading source of supply, followed by the United States. Dried codflsh as against the salted variety, split and headless, both boneless and with bone, ls in demand. Price is a great factor in securing a share in this market. Oansda heretofore has not figured in tile imports, due, mainly to high- er of the Canadian article, according to the Natural Resources Department of the Canadian Na- tional Railways.

LQlDOii. March IS-Thebattle- ship remains st sea, and is an essential part of the fleet, Lord Stanley told the House of Commons today in introducing the naval estimates.
“Our experiments lead us to be- lieve that though damage may done and individual ships put out of action by bombs from Idle air and below the surface, battleships willnotbemadeimpotentbyair attack and will remain supreme at see," Lord Stanley said.
Counter-attacks by anti-aircraft batteries had been intensively de- veloped. It was the unanimous view of naval opinion in Great Britain and abroad that battleships were an essential. part of the fleet. They need not necessarily be very large. The British view had always is/vor- ed 26,000 tons, but there had t0 b0 sufficient disparity between battle- ships and cruisers to prevent a suc- cessful concentration of the latter, and while other powers had battle ships Britain's must be powerful enoug‘ to engage them on equal terms.
Somerset do Chair, 24-year-old son of Admiral Sir Dudley de Chair, said he hoped he was not betraying a great naval secret, but it was a foot that Britain had an
marine device operated on the sys- tom oi the reflector ray. If a. sub- marine came within torpedo range of a ship it would be in danger of instant destruction.
De Chair added that by convert- ing an old cruiser into an anti-air- craft ship the admiralty had con- structed an entirely new type of ship capable of developing terrific volume of fire for the defence of harbors. very!!!‘ ’
Lord Stanley, replying earlier to various points, had mentioned that Britain still maintained the sbper- lority over the submarine menace which she had secured by the end of the war.
Quebec Steamer Among Earliest To Cross Ocean
(Canadian Press)
LONDON, March 18—-When Brit- ain's latest liner, the Queen Mary, puts to sen. this spring for her first Atlantic crossing, another ep- ochal entry will be written in the log-book of steamship development.
Step by step throughout the cen- turies the romance of water-travel is clearly marked, from the dug- outs fashioned from tree trunks by primitive races to the “wooden walls" of mediaeval times. The gradual evolution oi the sailing ship saw the globe encompassed by giant clippers. ‘Then, in the 19th century, came the slow transition from sail to steam power for pro- pulsion, and. from wood to ironand steel f0: construction.
The Royal William was the first vessel to cross from West to East dependent largely. though not en- tirely, upon her own steam. Built at Quebec by James Goudie for the Quebec and Halifax Steam Navi- gation Company, she was 170 feet long and 26 feet broad. After trud- ing for a time between Quebec and Nova Scotisn ports she left for England Aug. 4, 1838, arriving at Gravesend Sept. 11.

There was another Royal W11- liam, built exactly 100 years ago at Liverpool. Both these vessels, it is obvious, were called after William IV, known as the Sailor King, The second Royal William though 1n- tended for the mail service be- tween England and Ireland, was

Royal Mail Steam Packet Com- pany, and four ships were launched on the Clyde in 1840. The most notable of these, the Britannia, was 207 feet long, 34 feet broad, 740 horsepower, and 1,154 tons. Her average speed was 8 1-2 knots on a. daily coal consumption of 38 tons. She had accommodation for 115 passengers and was adaptable for the transportation or troops in wal- time.
Binoe the Chm-I I c Dundas, one of the earliest sisiln vessels, was built in Scotland, 134 years have elapsed. The 73,000-t0n Queen Mary, some of luxury that cost nearly 830000.000 to build, sets off in vivid contrast the achievements of the early pioneers in the use of steam.
The tiny Charlotte Dundas prov- ed her capability for towing pur- poses on the Forth and the Clyde canal. American engineers were not slow to take up the challenge and the Clennont was constructed on the Hudson River in 1807, her en- gines belng obtained from England. The vessel ran as a pasamger boat between New York and Albany.
Students of the history of early steamship travel might be tempted to suppose that use of these vessels expanded rapidly but from the time Bell's Comet operated with passengers between Glasgow, Greenock and Hclensburgh in 1812 there was a lapse of 30 years be-
larly across the Atlantic.
In 1816 the first steamboat crossed the English Channel from Brighton to Havre Then came the change riom wood to iron and the Aaron Manby was constructed four years later and employed in a di- rect service between London and Paris.
The honor of being the first steamship to cross the Atlantic fell to the Savannah, an American- bullt ship. Using steam only a small part of the time the vessel made s 25-day crossing from Sa- vannah, Ga, to Liverpool in 1819.
While the steam era in Atlantic crossings was well inaugurated by the middle of the lust century, a rig of masts and sail was part of the equipment of the up-to-date liner as late as the 90s. Seldom if over used except in very favorable winds it was believed sails at least steadied the ship in the rolling sea.
EMPIRE PRODYWED 66.6% OF Till.‘ WORLD'S GOLD
Gold stocks in inc United States at the mad of November, 1935, to- talled $9,8'l-1000.000, approximately six times the pro-war total oi July, 1914. There was a. sharp rise dur- ing, 1935 due to heavy shipments of,,gold to the United States, be-
llcvcd to be the result of the flight of capital to that. country stimulat- ed by European war" fears. The
total gold production of the world in 1933 is estimated at 24,982,408 fine ounces valued at $516,018,675. Of this amount, the British Empire produced 66.8 per cent. The Union of South Africa produced 44.1 per cent, Canada 11.8 pel- cent, accord-- 1118 to the Industrial Department of the Canadian National Railways. Other important Elrrlpire producing countries were Australia, Rhodesia and British India. The United States produced 9.1 per cent.
LOOSE COVERS SERVE MANY PURPOSES
'I‘hc advantages of loose covers for the lounge armchairs are .50 well-known writes an English cor- respondent, that when I saw a din- ing-room the other day in which all the dining chair." had removable loose covcrs for the seats and back- pnncls, i immediately wondered why this ldra had not been thought of before.
The covers were .ied in position with tapes in the lower corners where they could not be seen. Oi course, the covers were washable, and it is easy to have a. new set made whenever the dining-room is redecorated.
If the chairs are upholstered with a. precious material-and in at least oneMayfalr home I know the chairs are covered with tapestry which once belonged to Marie An- toinet/te-this need only be exposed to wear and tear on special occa-

The King said nothing until the animal had gone. Then, one Sun- day afternoon. on his usual walk around the Jarms. he enquired if they had not bought some rather expensive cattle recently.
The farm-manager agreed. But, he added, the bull had won many prises and had been sold at a good profit.
"Understand this." the King re- plied, "I farm as an ordinary far- mer and exhibit my beasts in com- petition with other farmers. They can't pay high prices and neither will I. As for winning prizes by paying large sums for beasts, any Hoggenhelmer can do that. I won't."
