BALTIMORE, (#) —The end of the Rainbow willfbe found shortly in the scrap pile of a marine junk yard. The Rainbow is a boat that has had a colorful and varied experience in the fleets of the United States Navy since 1898. The ship was built in England in 1890 and named the Norse King. She was steam propelled and built with a clipper prow which was graced by a figurehead. After serving as a freighter for eight years the Norse King was bought by the United States Navy and her name was changed to the U. 8. S. Rainbow. Since that time she has served in the fleets in the Philippines, the Asiatic squadron and during the World War was flagship of a submarine squadron. The Rainbow, at various time, has been, used as torpedo flotilla tender, convoy, flagship, transport, submarine tender, and. in 1907, carried Willlam Howard Taft. then Secretary of War, to Viadi- vostok. During_her career it is esti- mated that the Rainbow has traveled a greater distance than two round trips to_the moon. ‘The ship was recently towed into harbor at_Baltimore to be broken up at Curtis Bay.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, (#).—Dangerous snails are relatively few when it is con- sidered that they are confined, as far as is now known, to not more than- 60 among about 60,000 species of mollusks which make up their great division of the animal kingdom. ‘They are sufficiently numerous, how- ever, to be indirectly responsible for a variety of parasitic diseases which af- flict animals and to a less extent human beings in various parts of the world. ‘The mollusks which for this reason are of interest to medical science, Prof. J. Bequaert of the Harvard Medical School has found, all belong to class which includes the marine, fr water and terrestrial snails and slu Their danger to human and animal health, he explains, lies in the fact that they harbor the larvae of disease-pro- ducing worms which without them would not be able to develop further. “The effective control or total ext mination of potential molluskan ho: he says, “may therefore be included among the prophylactic measures. The possibility of eradicating the disease by habits of the particular snail involved.” Some can be exterminated by remov- ing the water from their habitat, but others are capable of surviving several months of drought. These and the spe- cies that live on land seem to require the use of toxic chemicals, such as cop- per sulphate and unslaked lime, which, Prof. Bequaert points out, are inexpen- sive, powerful and not very dangerous to human beings and domestic animals. KING’S RED BEARD RELIC AT EMORY UNIVERSITY Donor Vouches for Fact That It Once Adorned Royal Chin of Edward IV. ATLANTA, Ga. (P).—The beard of an English king—and a red one at that —has been added to the museum of Emory University here.

Howiett of Norwich, England. The donor vouches for its authen- ticity. It was given to him by an inti- mate’ friend, Sir Frederick de la Pole, Baronet, whose ancestor, John de la Pole Duke of Suffolk, married Elizabeth, a sister of Edward and Richard III. The beard now occupies a prominent place in a glass case among the uni- versity's ‘collection of Egyptian mum- mies and relics for which its museum has long been noted.
