NEW YORK. Oct. 2. Since Sir Thomas
Lpton's challenge yachtsmen have re-
stunned with new warmth the discussion
as to the advisahility of abandoning the
historic course off Sandy Hook for the
more breezy neighhorhood of Newport:
The question will. of course, be settled
behind closed doors at joint conferences
OF the cup committee Of the New. York
Yacht CLUB ana special COMMITTEES OF
the Royal Ulster Yacht Club.
The course Of Newport presents many
advantages. Good sailing breezes are to
be had In those watefs almost any day,
the Hefreshoff shops are, AFFORDS every
opportunity for quick repairs OF dam
ages. But there Is a very serious draw
bring fogs which preclude racing. More
over, racing on the Sandy Hook course
means many more spectators than would
make II more than likely the old course
will be chosen.

about lions and tigers. That's better
for everybody"

Tie Sioux Indians still share with
the old Aryan and Semitic tribes in the
belief that there are trees that bring
forth human beings and others that
bear various portions of the human
body, and in the fourteenth century an
Italian traveller on arriving at Malabar
was told by the natives that the coun-
try abounded with a tree that bore
men and women. The latter were at
tached to the limbs by the neither ex-
tremities and were full formed when
the wind blew, but when the wind died
out they soon withered. These speci-
mems of humanity reached the length
or height of three feet.
In the first book Of the Mahadharata
mention is made of forms of dwarfs
that were TO be found on a large fig
tree. The Arabs are still strong In the
belief that somewhere in the southern
ocean there is tree that bears a nut

eggs at once. Michael Wragge, the

There was n dyed in the wool Demo-

so much OF the Republican candidate
personally that he intended to break

A Louisville girl who was recently In
Germany met a young English officer
who was in the same city. and, in fact,
in the same house with her for two
months studying German for his pro-
motion Like most Europeans, he had
the usual absurd ideas about the girls
of this country. who. in the minds Of
the untraveled foreigner. are rather
hoyden creatures. who smoke and have
other masculine traits.
After dinner one day in the early sac-
workmanship Of the couple the OFF,
Ger offered the Louisville girl n ciga-

"Why | thought all the girls in the
United States smoked"
$50 we do" replied the girl, ''but
never cigarettes, only pipes. If you will
get that pipe off the mantelpiece in the
next room shall be charmed to smoke
with you"
Not suspecting the joke she was play

and filed it, and it was not until he
saw the wry faces his friend made in
attempting TO carry out the joke that
he appreciated the situation. He was
continually telling the American in a

that the shot Shott shot shot Mott, or 1t

The most savage specimen Of the
crab family is found in Japan, SEEM

delight in nothing half so much. The
minute he spies another Of his kind
he scrapes his claws together in rage,
challenging him to the combat. Not
moment is wasted in preliminaries, but
at it they go. hammer and tongs. 1t
sounds like two rocks grinding against
one another as their claws rattle
against the hard shells. The sand flies
rs the warriors push each other hither
and thither until at last one of them
stretches himself out in the sun, tired
to death. But he does not beg for
mercy or attempt TO run away. only
feebly rubbing his claws together in
defiance of his foe. That foe comes
closer. and. with his claws trembling
with joy nj his victory, the conqueror
catches hold Of one claw Of the van
quished crab. twists 1t until it comes
off and bears away the palpitating
limb as a trophy of his prowess. Such
is a battle between warrior crabs.

day asking for work, and Edison, who
needed help. referred him TO the fore
man, named Fulton. The latter took
the young foreigner on condition that
he would work. This Tesla did. For
three days and nights he never closed
his eyes. At the end of the first fort
night he had cot had 4S hours sleep all
together. and Fulton. the foreman,
made him take a rest. He also said to
the young man that on account OF the
strain they had both been under they
had better have good meal

student went TO n well known cafe
on one of the boulevards and got one
of the biggest and thickest steaks pos
sible. 1t was n whopper and seemed
to be overwhelming for two. Besides,
the furnishings were liberal, and there
was enough good wine Between them.
however, they managed TO make ev-

turning TO Tesla. asked him If there
was anything else he would like.
