Pierre Lott Describes the Personal APP
pearance of japanese Women.
Very ugly. those poor little japanese
womenl prefer to make this brutal state
ment at once, to alternate it later with
mincing preytiness, graceful drollery, ador-
able little hands, and then rice powder,
rose and gold on the lips, all manner of
articles.
Hardly any eyes at all, SO little as to be
almost nothing; two narrow Sits, oblique
and diverging, where roll willy or cabling
eyeballs, as between the barely opened lids
Of those cats whom the glare of daylight
makes weary.
Above those little updrawn eyes-but
very far above, highly perched-are out
lined the eyebrows, as fine as pencil marks
and not at all oblique, not at all parallel
with the eyes that they accompany so
badly, but straight on the same line, con-
trary to what it has been the custom to
represent in our European pictures when
ever the artist has had to portray Jap

believe that the particular strangeness
of those little faces Of women is entirely
due to that disposition of the eye, which is
general and also to the development OF

roundness like dolls; moreover, in their
pictures, the artists of the country never
fail to reproduce, exaggerating them even
to improbability. those characteristic signs
of their race.

A Bow Deem in Love.

One of the most delicious love letters
that the listener has ever read was inter-
cepted the other day by teacher in one of
the public schools. The boy who wrote it
was 10 years old, and the girl presumably
of the same age. Here is the charming
missive:
DEAR EMMA love you and I wish
you would write to me I love you and I
wish could kiss you. Emma you look so
rosy. l love you, don't you love me? 1
wish you would write to me. I guess YOU
love me. don't care if you don't, will
write to you anyway. want you to write
to me and if you have no lead pencil will
give you one and some paper. 1 am so
glad that you love me. Emma, did you
tell that boy that lives beside your house
that you was going to slap my noses
Emma, | could not help but cry when that
boy told me. Emma, I thought YOU
thought more of me. l have given you
about twenty-five cents worth of candy,
and you don't treat me well, besides give
you some gum"
There is no doubt about the condition of
that boy. He is in love. He may be only
10 years old, but if he lives to be 100 he will
never be any more in love than he was
when he penciled this letter.-Boston

Hnu Moving Air Looks.

In photographing projectiles in motion
no results of any importance are obtained
till the velocity of the shot exceeds that of
sound. But at higher speeds wave of
compression is found preceding the bullet
in IFS flight. The shape of this wave is a
hyperboloid of revolution, with the apex
some distance in front of the shot. Behind
the projectile there is conical wave
formed, the angle of which is less the
greater the velocity.-New York Times.
