Physique of Country and City 8oya,
Under the selective draft law, regis
trants were given two physical exami
nations, one by the local draft boards
and another by the army surgeons af
ter the men who passed the local
board examination reached camp.
Analysis of these records of physi
cal examinations shows that, the coun
try boys made better records than
those from the cities ; the white regis
trants better than the colored, and
the native born better records than
those of alien birth. These differ
ences are so considerable that 100,000
I country boys would , furnish for the I
military service 4,790 more soldiers i
than would an equal number of city
boys. Similarly, 100,000 whites would
furnish 1,240 more soldiers than would
an equal number of colored. Finally,
100.000 native born would yield 3,500
more soldiers than would a .like num
ber of foreign. The Importance of
these figures may be' appreciated by
noting that 3,500 men is equivalent to
an infantry regiment at full wr
strength.

WILL AGAIN HONOR MAGELLAN
Quadrlcentennial of His Famous Voy
19s Likely to Be Appropriately
Observed in 1921.
March, 192 1, wiir be a good "time 'to
visit thev Philippines, for it will then
be an even 400 years since Fernando
deMagalhaes, as he was named in his
native Portuguese although better
known, as English usage afterward
changed it, by the name of Ferdinand
Magellan, first visited the islands, dis
covering find taking possession of
them for rrnwu of Spain. ,And
nlans are rn-.v under consideration to
celebrate that anniversary in a way,
tc outdo any celebration ever held in
theOrient. One will hear, no doubt,
a great deal about Magellan in the
next 12 months, and the first naviga
tor of the Pacific will reappear in
newspaper columns and magazine ar
ticle's; nor is it unlikely that his
counterfeit presentment- will redis
cover the Philippines in a proper
pageant. The celebration, indeed,
comes at an appropriate time, for the
Pacific ocean Is only just assuming
reality in the thoughts of the great
majority of Americans, and it provides
historic background against which the
modern islands can display their prod
ucts, their development, and their op
portunities for the Investment of
American capital.- Like Columbus,
Magellan was not seeking, new lands
for Spain. He set out to find a pas
sage from the Atlantic to the ocean
that EiOboa had seen some years
earlier on the other side of the con
tinent, and having passed through the
straits of Magellan, he believed that
he was steering for the Moluccas, or
Spice islands. And so, incidentally,
he found the Philippines.

Danish Minister to Iceland Traces
Origin to First White Man Born
in America.
Information has been received from
Copenhagen that the Danish consul
general in London, J. E. Boeggild, has
been appointed Danish minister to Ice
land. Mr. Boeggild is widely known
In America, having been Danish con
sul in San Francisco and Chicago,
consul-general in New York and com
mercial adviser to the Danish legation
In Washington.
Mr. Boeggild seems especially fitted
for this post, as he has Icelandic blood
in his veins. On the maternal side he
is descended from the Tulinius family
of Iceland, which traces its origin back
to Thorfinn' Karlsefni, one of the fa
mous Norsemen who discovered Amer
ica nearly one thousand years ago.
Karlsefni, of whom a statue was re
cently erected in Philadelphia, was the
first white man to settle in America,
spending two s years in "Wineland,"
where his wife, Gutrid, gave" birth to a
boy, who was called Snorri. From
Snorri descended a numerous and dis
tinguished lineage, among whom is
numbered the Tulinius family, and the
new minister to Iceland can thus lay
claim of being descended from the
first white man bora in America. De

Cook With Oil on Warship.
The Hood, the monster mystery bat
tleship, launched from the Clyde ythe
other day, is fitted out with a large
oil-fue! cooking galley. , For several
years past the use of oil fuel has been
common In the British navy for pro
pulsion purposes, but its employment
for cooking Is quite an innovation.
The galley referred to is capable of
cooking for 1,200 men. The heat la
obtained by means of special burners,
which consume the oil 'under pressure,
compressed air being used to atomize
the fuel. 'The result is a white flame
of extraordinary heat and cleanliness,
which leaves no residue whatever and
is easily controlled. There is an en
tire absence 0 smell a usual disad
vantage in cooking by hieans of oil -and
there is no chance of the food
being contaminated v

The Earth's Crust
The most important scientific In
vestigation of the past year in any
country has probably been the at
tempt to measure the earth's crust.
We know- very ' little . about the shell
on which we live. Scientists have
been studying the problem in Hawaii,
Tuscany and Salvador, where the op
portunities for investigation are espe
cially favorable. Many data new to
science have been collected concern
ing the shell, its composition and prob
able age. Still other tests have been
made in New South Wales, where a
great reservoir concentrates an im
mense weight of water on alimited
area, and instruments have been de
vised to measure the, movement of the
earth's crust under this weight. New
light has thus been thrown on the ac
tion of volcanoes. .
