DROMEDARIES FOR SPEED.
Rudyard kipling's "Goat" Is Said to
BE the Fastest Thing
Four Legs.

''The horse is a noble animal" as
all the world knows, and perhaps we
never feel him nobler than when he
is associated with the pomp and cir
cumstances of glorious war. But
when it comes to speed and staying
power he is not in it with the camel
or, rather, to speak quite correctly,
the dromedary, since it is the drom-
edary which is bred for swiftness, the
true camel being the beast of bur
den, says the London Express. In
most uncivilized and open countries
the bearer of important communica-
tions who is denied the aid of the
railway might with advantage to him
self exchange his korse for a drom-
edary. The thoroughbred dromedary
in the pink of condition can do his
20 miles an hour for surprising num-
Der of hours; c 100 blood horse
would be hard put to it to exceed,
on a long-distance gallop, some IA
miles an hour, and the fifth hour
would almost infallibly find him
played out to the point of exhaustion.
With half dozen hours rest per
day. not necessarily including food
and water, the 'crack" dromedary
can be pressed to its utmost speed for
week on end.
Famous as the Tartars are for their
small, swift horses, they yet reserve
their greatest enthusiasm for their
camel races, in which there compete
some of the purest- -blooded animals
in all Asia. Bad though the character
of the average 'Noont" is, there are
among his aristocratic representatives
beasts as loyal and gentle as any
that ever wore hoof. Every school
boy has by heart the dromedary's
wonderful capacity for storing boil
nutriment in its hump and water il
| its species of cellular stomach.
Add to this the fact, not too wei
known. of its almost incredible speed
when highly bred and trained, and WI
are left wondering that Europeans
and especially European war officials
have not paid more attention to it
marvellous qualities as a means o
rapid communication.
1t is useless. of course, for civilized
countries with paved roads, its fee
being too soft to stand the hard. mo
notonous level of modern highways
But on suitable ground there is moth
ing that can compare with it for spec
and bottom" except perhaps the dog
which, however, cannot carry a rider
The elephant, though, can outsta
the horse, and its numbering trot o
eight miles an hour can hold on fo
half day at stretch, and keep this
its greatest degree of speed going fo
many days. A horse pressed to it
limit of swiftness must rest on alter
nate days, or it will collapse.

missionaries in China have been pur-
suing an extremely risky and regretta-
BILE policy. The originator and leader
of the Tai-Ping insurrection was a
pupil of the English missionary, Rob
erts and, though there is no proof of
any direct connection between the doc
trines taught by the missionary and the
insurrection of Hung, there is never
theless no doubt that a large number
of English missionaries, including Rob-
erts himself, sympathized with the Tai
Pings almost to the end of the uprising,
and even expressed their sympathy
publicly.
During the unfortunate and i'm
practicable reform movement of 1898
English missionaries also played
leading part, just as they did recently,
their zeal being manifested in an en-
deavor to show that every movement
in China, even though it may have no
political significance, is directed
against the empress. For this rea-
son, it is not to be wondered at that
hatred and mistrust of England
should manifest themselves by many
tokens, both great and small, and
there will be less surprise if we bear
In mind the fact that most China
men are naturally disposed to hate
and mistrust England, and that as far
back as 1912 a league was formed in
Canton for the purpose of withstand
ing Englishmen
'It is quite probable that the Chi
nese government is not displeased at
| the movement which has been started
by the Boxers, since her aim ever Is
to cosvince foreigners that there are
difficulties and dangers to be encoun-
tered by those who would recklessly
| interfere with China.
ut is also, however, probable that
the movement has now become more
| powerful than is pleasing to the gov
ernment, and has even become thorn
in it's siGe. In China there is always
the danger that an insurrection
which is not quickly suppressed will
become so great as to threaten the
peace of the empire. Between the
wears 420 and 1914 China witnessed
four great revolutions. and since the
latter of these years she has passed
through four other great ones, as
we'll as countless small ones. For this
reason the Chinese are wont to regard
such incidents with a sort of equa.
nimity and to deal with them after
their own fashion"
