FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1939-1940 Then we went to the Mines, Metals, and Machinery Building. Here you may pass fifteen minutes of your time going through about 500 ft. of underground passageways, and see all the details and operations of typical western gold and silver mines. Treasure Mountain is one of the most interesting things in the Hall of Mines, Metals, and Machinery. It is 50 ft. high and 170 ft. long. On its surface are represented gold and copper mines of Nevada and open-pit mines of l'tah, with models of machinery in opera- tion. The next place visited was the International Hall. Here Czecho-Slovakia has famous Bohemian glass, shoes, toys, garnet jewelry and other arts, crafts and industries. Denmark has tableware, Royal Copenhagen porcelain, sterling silver, and other crafts native to Denmark. Of course, these are only a few of the many countries with exhibits at the Fair. There were many other interesting buildings there, but unfortunately I did not have time to visit any more. At night we took a ride on the Elephant Train which ran us all around the Fair Grounds. The lighting effect through the whole Fair is magnificent. After a most enjoy- able time at the Fair it seemed a shame to have to leave for home. P, K., Form 3. Q School Bay.

SELWYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE Qu iincihent at bca. H.lNl.S. Hood was ploughing her way through the Atlantic in a heavy swell. She was hunting for the German raider Deutschland , but so far she had not caught her. Sub-lieutenant Bob Saunders was sleeping like a log when somebody threw open his door and yelled, Your watch, Sir Bob got out of his bunk and sighed regretfully, but duty was duty. He pulled on his heavy rubber boots and oilskins, and headed for the bridge. Arriving there, he settled down to a steady pace and walked to and fro across the bridge. Suddenly he stopped and peered ahead. He thought he could see a dark shape, but was not sure, so he whipped out his night-glasses. Derelict bearing down on our port beam , cried the lookout. 4' Ah, that explains it , said Bob to himself. Bob got the ship away from the derelict and yelled for a messenger to go and tell the Captain. The ship directed a searchlight on the derelict, which showed it was a three-masted barque. Meanwhile the Captain was ordering the whaler's crew away. As Bob was in command of the whaler, he jumped in with the crew who took their places in the boat. Oil was being let out of the ship in order that the sea might be made as calm as possible for the Whaler. Reaching the ship, they found that it had been a case of mutiny, but that the captain was still aboard, though wounded. Rowing back to the ship they took the captain aboard, and the ship proceeded on her interrupted course. D. W., Form 2 B. Swan Jfrantiscn Jfair. XYhen l went to the San Francisco Fair the First thing l saw was the Hall of Science, which included Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Astronomy, and significant chapters of modern medicine. There is a Radio Active Klan in this Hall. All of these wonders can only be understood by seeing them. The l'nder Sea Gallery discloses the mysteries of the water kingdom. Then again you may see how X-Rays are taken, listen to lectures, and see the moving pictures of the world of to-morrow. The most interesting thing of all is the Hall of Air Transportation . It consists of Doug. Corrigan's i900 crate in which he flew the Atlantic from New York to Ire- land non-stop in 1933. You can also see some old planes built by Robert Fowler in 1912. One of them is an 80 H.P. bi-plane. There is also a good display of gas models weighing from l lb. to -l lbs. llfil
