EFFECT OF CLOTHES ON COLOR
New Theory as to Why People are
White or Black.

1t has long been known that climate
alone is not sufficient to account for a
coored people. Dark skins are by no
means confined to the tropics; they are
to be found in races even beyond the tenn
perate zone This diversity, according
to a writer in one of the American maya
zines, can only be accounted for by con-
sidering the different modes of life that
have acted for centuries upon the vari-
Gus classes and castles of the country.
The coolie who works in the fields with
a strip of cotton cloth about his loins is
very dark; the merchant and trader who
never go abroad without being thorough
~ clothed are many degrees fairer.
1t is said that a colony of Jews on the
west coast of India have been established
for nearly eighteen centuries, but be-
cause they have not followed the habits
of the people as regards clothing, they
remain to this day a white people. On
the other hand. the Aryan population Of
India and Persia. originally a fair people,
by adopting the customs OF those coun-
tries, have become in great measure a
colored race. Accordingly, it is argued
that the steady march of nature is to-
ward the evolution of a fair people all
over the world. The layer of dark pig
ment beneath the cuticle prevents the
skin from blistering, and when proper
clothing renders this safeguard unneces-
sary, nature dispenses with it altogether
1t IS also limited that color has something
to do with the mental and intellectual
condition of a people, but into these ques-
lions the writer wisely forbears to enter.

A Lost Explorer.

DR.. Ludwig Leichhardt, one of the
most brilliant of Australian explorers.
is almost the only prominent discoverer
ia modern times who has disappeared
from view and of whom NO trace has
ever been found. Men still living remem-
Der the famous journey that this young
German made in the interior Of Aus
tralia, when he and seven comrades
tramped for sixteen months from More
ton bay, near the site of the pleasant
city of Brisbane, far north through the
heart of Queensland, discovering many
mountain range many a river and saw
age tribe that had never been met be-
fore. He passed from the temperate to
the torrld zone, and reached one of the
most northern points of the continent.
From end to end this journey, which
cost only S625, was a revelation of the
unknown. 1t was a great journey. and
the book IN which Leichhardt described
it has many readers to this day. The
explorer never saw his book, for while
it was being printed in London. he set
out on his second undertaking. which
he. never completed, and the m stery of
his fate was never sOlved-Harper's

The wife of William Allen White, the
Kansas editor and author is said to be
responsible for the following story on her
husband: Some years ago Fred Harvey
gave Mr.. White a pass at the Harvey
eating houses along the Santa Fe, and
Mr.. and Mrs. White started on a trip to
Colorado to take advantage OF Mr.. Har
vey's generosity. At every eating station
Mr.. White ate enormously and then
proudly produced his free eating ticket.
He had had it year and never before
found an opportunity TO use 1t. Mrs.
White, who was compelled to pay for her
meals, ate very sparingly, and some of
the other passengers remarked how much
the husband ate and how daintiiy his
wife nibbled.
When they reached the last station
where the free ticket was good Mr..
White ordered evrything in sight and
simply stuffed himself. Mrs. White re-
maned in the car and nibbled Il little
lunch she had brought along. When MIR.
White returned to the car his wife no
ticed that he looked mighty unhappy,
considering that he had previously been
enormously enjoying the Fred Harvey
free ticket He continued looking I'M
happy and his wife feared that possibly
he had foundered himself and pressed
him for an explanation.

THE WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY.
They say the wireless telegraph,
The wise folk in their grating jargon,
Is half of Hertzian waves and half,
| think, Of Roentgen rays or argon;
They talk to US of molecules,
Of currents, coils. and oscillation,
And we might understand poor foolSj
Could they explain their explanation.
The wireless telegraph they VOW
The rarest use of natures forces;
Their gods are all Marconis now
And all their demigods are Morses,
And still its praises day by day
The press chat is, the wise folk utters,
And in it's figurative way,
1t takes the cake the public mutters.
Yet we are not surprised, my own,
1t cannot rouse us twain to wonder
Too long have we been glad and prone
To use it when we are asunder.
If table, ballroom, stairs or street
Divide Us, by the swans of Venus.
Fair wireless messages, my sweet
Fast as Marconi's fly between Us.
O love, our wireless telegraph
(And what for lovers use is ftterO
Needs no machinery, no staff,
No batteries, bObbinS, tranSmltter.
When signals flash, love, from our eyes,
Swift, eloquent, yet unsupported,
I here should the wise folk recognize
The wireless telegraph perfected!
