KING ARTHUR NO MYTH.


u 018h O0lc4f among tho Wf1eeoo U0fHoo
the Roman Occupation.
When Geoffrey Of Monmouth wrote
his history of the Britons he wrote 1t
like q classical epic, but with the in.
spiration of French chivalry and le-
gend. Thus Caxton had little difficulty
in making acceptable Sir Thomas
Malory's translation of the Arthurian
legends as they had been written in
France His edition was published In
1855. with a preface in which he says
that the nine most celebrated men in
the world are three pagsns, three
Jews and three Christians, the
pagans being Hector OF Troy.
Alexander the Great and Julius
Cesar: the Jews, Joshua, David and
Judas Maccabeus; and the Christians,
Charlemagne. Godfrey Of Bouillon,
and King Arthur. He says that many
men believe ''there was no such Ar
thur. and that all such books as be
made Of him be but feigned and fables,
by cause that some chronicles make OF
him no mention nor remember him no
thing nor of his knights
But the skepticism of the time Of
Caxton, which continued until the end
Of the eighteenth century. is not ut
present scientific. The moderns do not
doubt that King Arthur existed. He
was q superior officer of the Britons,
whose rank was known in tho time Of
Roman rule "A ''Comes Britanne." He
moved about in Britain rs Agricola or
Severus would have done. His position
naturally entailed the association with
his name Of heroic legends. Malory's
originals were romances written
in French. which he translated
literally. but reduced in length. The
stories were based on Breton folk
lore which came from Great Britain
and was transmitted through the Nor
mans in the eastern portion of Brit
tany. The entire Arthurian legend. as
used by Mallory. is Breton, but the
great legend is Welsh. John Rhys,
who writes the preface to this new
edition, is persuaded that Mallory,
whose birthplace is IS unknown as
that of Homer, was q Welshman.
Mallory made of the Arthurian legend
the lliad of English prose literature,
and used many of Hcmer's set phrases
His knights, when they leaped to the
ground, invariably avoided" their
horses- The strokes they dealt were
sad" and there are keen touches Of
feeling in every incident. His style is
admirable. Tennyson. in the parting

press more pathos than Mallory in the

THIRTY FEET OF SHARK.

Antonio Nicolas, a fisherman with

for years been the terror of fishermen
plying their trade about Point Reyes.
For forty years BLACK Jack" a. they
call the great sharlA has ravaged the
vicinity of Point Reyes, watching for
human blood. He is of the man-eating
species, and occasionally gets an appe-
tizer in the shape of bits of fisher
flesh. There are many of the or
dinary size in Acapulco, and it il said
that San Diego is occasionally visit
ed by them. But "Black Jack" tow
ers above them all with ferocious
majesty. He was first seen in the early
Rfties by the pioneer fishermen, and
somewhere in the sixties he Robbled .

rocks by the surf. Since then he has
had his ominous cognomen, and has
been regarded.a as an objec: of menacing
