An unfortunate man stands rigid, hour after hour, bis arms outstretched, never moving. He was found in that condition In a corn field, his hallucination making him believe himself a scarecrow. Science will deal with him, and perhaps cure him. But who or what will cure this Nation, that assumed a scarecrow attitude in 1929. and still sticks it? That poor cataleptic needs only to realize that he is not a scare- to Thrilling Spectacle of a (Prepared br the National Ceorraphlo Boelxty. Washington. l. C.) lowly but romantic tramp whose rust; Iron and smoky stacks are known to every seaport la the THE world, has largely joined the sailing ship at anchor. Whereas but a third of the world's tonnage was carried In regularly scheduled liners s In 1913, now more than Is transported in this fashion, leaving very little for the Independent roving steamer or sailing ship. Canadian grain once crossed In tramp steamers. Now a regular lines ply the North Atlantic Norwegian timber and Pacific coast timber, even, are moved on big liners following a schedule. Changing economic and social conditions are last vestiges of the pioneer spirit of the seamen of another day. The seamen themselves are different They want steady work and fixed wages, and they like to ship on steamers with a regular schedule, allowing them to make plans In port. parts of the world are again becoming the lonely, isolated spots they were before the day of the great explorers or the era of sailing clippers. The number of ships that round Cape Horn, for instance, now Is fewer and becom ing steadily fewer. Steamers have no need to go that way. If they are coming from Australia to Europe, Suez and Good Hope are shorter and kinder routes. If they are bound from or to New Zealand, there Is Panama. If they are outward or homeward bound In the West coast trade, Panama canal, too. Is much more convenient, even for the far southern port of Valparaiso. In the unusual event of a steamer passing to the south of the American continent say, on passage from Buenos Aires to nine times out of ten she will use the Magellan passage, or, falling that (for visibility Is often bad there and currents treacherous), she will pass between Tlerra del Fuego and the small Island the southern tip of which. Is the dreaded Horn. Some Sailing Ships Around the Horn. Even sailing ships avoid Cape Horn now, when they can. It Is a regular thing for the guano barks, coming op from Guanape, Lobos, and Santa Rosa for Jacksonville, Wilmington, or Falmouth for orders, to pass through the canal instead of using the old highway to the south and doubling the Horn. Indeed, In the grain race of 1930 one sailor d from Australia, the Swedish bark C B. Pedersen, actually made her way Into the Atlantic by way of Panama Instead of the Horn an entirely unprecedented experience that would make a thousand old shellbacks - turn In their graves. But there still remains a small coterie of wind ships regularly using the Cape Horn road. There are the German nitrate carriers, the big of the Hamburg Laelsz line Padua, Passat, Parma, Parmlr, and Peking all splenbarks, did, upstanding, speedy, and powerful, clean-lineeconomical. They remain In commission to carry nitrate from German mines In Chile to German factories on the Elbe. They are manned largely by boys who must see servsquare-riggeice In ships before their country will allow them to 6lt for examination as officers. They are well found and make good voyages. Some of them are comparatively new ships. Two have been built since the World war; one of them, the Padua, as late as 1925. They carry no auxiliary engines of any kind.

When Australian wheat harvests are heavy and steamers are Inclined to ask high freights because of the difficulty of getting outward cargoes the sailor still has a chance of sneaking an odd cargo here and there. She Is prepared to accept a much lower freight rate than the steamer. She will go to any outlandish port and register no objection at spending six weeks or more at loading. She will discharge her own ballast at her own expense. She does not mind sailing halfway round the world In ballast If only there Is the chance of a cargo at the end of It, and she carries her wheat well and delivers it In good condition. She has the added advantage, sometimes, of bringing about a gam ble to her charterers. She may load on a falling market and set out with her wheat. .worth shillngs below payable price. She takes months on her voyage, providing good free warehouse on the way, and sometimes has the luck to arrive in time to take advantage of an upward trend of which there was no sign . when she left. For this reason shippers still like to take an odd gamble with a sailing ship, particularly in recent seasons, when wheat prices have been so dull that the grower's hope lies in some unforeseen upward trend when "bottom has been touched." bark The Swedish Beatrice In 1930 was chartered to bring home wool from Melbourne to London a trade which throughout this country has been religiously the exclusive right of the steamer simply because she provided long warehousing by the duration of her voyage, and there was a chance that prices would rise while she was on her way. She was 110 days on the passage, and her charterers had the satisfaction of clearing better prices for the wool they sent in her than they obtained for any they had sent In steamers. The steamers had discharged their wool on a falling market months earlier; the Beatrice arrived to find stocks lower and prices slightly higher. As her freight rate was lower than the steamer's, her chartering was profitable to the wool owners. But against the lower freight rate has to be offset the tendency on the part of underwriters natural, perhaps to charge a higher premium for the insurance of sailing ships' cargoes. "Races" That Are Not Races. Since the World war, a few sail lng ships have been able annually to obtain wheat charters from Australia to the English channel for orders, since they all leave about the same time, and since their scarcity brings them to the notice of the press and of the public, their sail ings have come to be known as "races," though they are not really anything of the kind. Some of those ships are In no fit condition to race; some of them never were. They are not proud clipper ships, built to run fleetly before the gale and to carry steerageway through doldrum calms. g steel They are great and heavy lined, wagons, with bluff bows and heavy sterns, oversparred and undermanned. They make rare visits to dry docks, since costs money and must be a luxury to them. They run upon the border line, with crews of inexperienced boys; their gear is old; sometimes their plates leak a little, here and there, and they are badly off for sails. There are still a few ships which are able to give good accounts of themselves, and generally do the bark Herzogin Finnish llle, which was formerly a Nord- CPfcalW'hpr I.lnvrl training shin fhe deutSvfour-maste- d bark Beatrice, SwedlslNN Clydesider Routen-formerltmOvlishman Archibald Dundee-bulburn; the Husseii, and the Aktf-th- e ships Lawblll but the buVTgreat waters u.uereBB aiowiy over wy come to port and are content if theft. ai mi, wuuoui racin,cerned wltb Bre mure the safe delivery ofculm, tliNhome3 of and the return to their i, i tt,em an inose wno set out to hM than spectacular and thrill fvps and In on of sail lng heavy gifvy,fack iorcing tne ship In short against head winds.. four-maste- d cargo-carryin- wall-side- d g four-maste- d uermans, with uii of the Finnish fleet and one or two Swedes, just about comprise the H'holA Of - thf VnrM'B Ma nnlni. nva-uiu- g ships.

How the Sailor Gets Cargoes. The majority of the square-rigger- s still rounding the Horn are In the grain trade from Australia. This is the last happy hunting ground of the big sailing ship, which has been square-rigge- four-mnBte- d ll sein. j crow, and this Nation only needs to recover from its fright and realize the end of the world has not come. We have everything we ever had, and If we never get back those ten billions lent to Europe, that won't ruin us. Ten billions represent only 10 per cent of one year's total Income In the United States. We haven't lost our farms, mines, lives, men or money. What are we whining about? Why can't we go to work, manufacture, buy, sell, employ and accept the Invitation of the world to be the world's banker? England has had her hundred years, of world dominance, which began after the Battle of Waterloo, and now retires for a rest. The next hundred years should be the greatest that this young Nation possessing everything In the world, but courage, has ever seen. Marconi, unusual dreamer who makes reality of dreams, expects "momentous discoveries" Including a solution of the great problem, What Is the world made of." There is, Marconi believes, only one kind of matter that takes different forms. The dream of the alchemist could have been made reality if they knew how to go about It. Some great philosophers worry because matter, the earth, its mountains, our own bodies are only a collection of atoms, made up of electrons, particles of electricity, nothing real. Bishop Berkeley, two hundred years ago, declared that the world had no existence, except In men s minds. But we worry needlessly. Ice is solid, you can skate on it at a certain temperature. When it is warmer and liquid you can swim in it and sail over it. Still warmer, it becomes vapor, in which you oan take a steam bath, and still hotter it will scald you to death. All this does not mean that Ice, water or steam is useless, or unreal, or that we need worry about Important Chang Itlowltt U tnarrltni; r he's a no longer." now."
