There are some wonderful mountains
in the vicinity Of Ajmera, India. A
traveller describes them thus: "All Of
these mountains seem to be metamorphic,
of marble and quartz and fissured sand
stone. Often the crests of the hills were
great lodges of quartz, which cleaned in
the hot sun and looked as if they were
masses of ice. The road was ballasted
with this stone, and the plains were COW

say that at one time, for good many
miles, the eye was panied by the spark

We entered these mountains and found a
most wonderful formation. As far as
my glass would enable me to see the hills,
rising several hundred feet, were mass

GIuttony versus intellectually.

Gluttony tends to cynicism. Coarse
ness and extravaganza Of speech and
manners go hand in hand with dietetic
excuses, as, for cognate reasons, the re-
pulsiveness of voracious animals is gen.
orally aggravated by want of cleanli-
ness. Among the natives of the Arctic
regions, where climatic causes make
gluttony pandemic vice, personal clean
illness is an almost unknown virtue, and
Kane's anecdotes Of polar household hab-
its depict degree of squalor that would
appall a gorilla. Habitual abstemious-
ness, on the other hand, is the concomi-
tant of modesty, thrift, self control and
evenness of temper, and is compatible
with heroic perseverance, though hardly
with great energy of vital vigor. The
dietetic self denials of Luigi Cornaro, a
Venetian nobleman of the Sixteenth cen
fury, enabled him to outlive the third
generation of his epicurean relatives.
During the latter decades of his long life
he boasts of having enjoyed peace Of
mind unattainable by other means.
There are intellectual voluptuaries
whose enjoyment of mental triumphs in
controversy or cogitation seem, for the
time being, actually to deaden their crav-
ing for material food. Isaac Newton, on
the track of a cosmic secret, would send
back plate after plate of untasted meals.
