A MARTYR TO SCIENCE.
Frank ii. Cushing Who Devoted HIS
Life to Research Among Ii
Huni d

The westerner had been saying that
the zeal of no other man quite equals
the enthusiasm of the scientist, wheth-
er he is grubbing for the dry bones OF
a remote epoch in u w northwest
or labelling during seven years, like
Haeckel of jena, the several thousand
sorts of minute organisms in a tea
spoonful of mud from the deep sea-.
"And that" said the westerner, who
had been around a bit, reminds me
of the late Frank Hamilton Cushing,
a martyr to the scientific spirit if ever
there was one. You may have noticed
that the book reviewers have been writ.
ing almost rapturously about his Il
Folk Tales recently published. Zuni,
in New Mexico, is, you know, IL OF
the seven cities of Cibola, discovered
by Cushing, and perhaps that discovery
and his contribution to literature and
ethnology in the folk tales was worth
losing his health and finally his life
for. But it does seem a pity that the
nan capable of this and who afterward
turned up the remains of the Florida
gulf sea jewellers for the Smithsonian
Institution say it does seem a shame
that he should have wrecked his health
when still a young man.
Gushing, you know, did as the In
1ians did in Zuni. He ate their food
and slept with no covering to speak of
on their bare earth floors. Unlike their
hardy n%eighbors, the Navajos, the Zu-
mis- are pueblo or housed Indians. Once
when | was in Zuni with a ranchman !
gladly slept in the street in preference
to passing a night in n of their i'll
smelling adobe caverns. But Gushing
wanted to learn all about them, and SO
he was adopted into the tribe, and pref
ty soon he had to exercise his keenest
wit to keep out of matrimonial entan-
clements.
well, the food finished him. No or
binary American stomach could stand
the awful stuff. Years afterward, or
about three years ago, / saw him in
Washington. He was slowly but sure
ly starving to death as the result of
the outrage upon his digestion, and his
death came, when it did, as a foregone
conclusion.
"That wasn't the worst of it. Cush-
ing fell sick at Zuni and he sought the
nearest and perhaps the only medica
aid in the country, at Fort Wingate
That was before the days of DR.. Wash

who has written so interestingly about
the Navajos. The post surgeon them

What gives the STORY of Mary McLane" its only excuse for
publicity? Its suggestiveness? its brliancy of wit? its subtlety OF
sarcasm? its originality Of ideas? None of these! The book is not
strikingly nasty; its flashes of wit are not SO frequent as to blind the
readers eyes; its attempts at irony are often ponderous and tar
fetched and its boldest originality consists in a 5razen confession OF
shamelessness-a lack of the sentiment Of common decency.
But still the book has a legitimate claim upon the interest of the
respectable reader, despite its commonpaceness and crudity. And If
that claim is the hope of the obscure and embryo writer.
No matter how crudely it may be done, there is a sure welcome
waiting for the author who lets us WATCH the workings OF an
AVERAGE HUMAN MIND, who uncovers the SENSATIONS OF
an ORDINARY SOUL, who takes the cap off and allows us to
SEE THE MENTAL WHEELS GO ROUND, who lets us look
upon the Decentralization of genuine human emotion. THAT
WRITER is GOING TO AVE HEARING! And he need not
descend to nasiness to gain his audience, either. 1t will not be nee
essary, so long as he gives us the real thing in other lines. The
truth about trivial things is often interesting and EVERY HUMAN
HEARTS BEATS QUICKER when it is INVITED TO SHARE
Fl SECRET THOUGHTS Of another mind on the deeper prob
lens Of life. And how seldom are those thoughts actually shared!
Often we pretend to do so-amost every book published is a pre-
tense of this kind-but the drapery Of conventionaity is generally
Rugged about our mental nakedness.
On many lines it is far better thus-and the exposure of a mind
vulgar and deformed is revolving. The soul which can boast of moth
ing but its nakedness has no call to reveal itself
But there are sure laurels for the literary novice Of average
mental and emotional force who will THINK OUT LOUD-which
is to say on paper-about the INSIDE EXPERIENCES which are
COMMON TO ALL HUMANITY.
THIS is HI SHORTEST OAD POSSIBLE TO QUICK
I LITERARY SUCCESS, and it need not lead into the nire, either.
One thing is sure, however. 1t will take NERVE to do it with
the thorouehness that means success. Only a brave heart can travel
that path to fame.

"But do you think it's nice to make
fun of a deformity?" asked Mrs. EN-
mons, only half convinced; there's
that poor little Smith boy. You know
his ears stick out, so the youngsters
call him 'Wing-and-Wing.' Do you
really uphold making fun of ones per-
sonal appearance?"

even that is valuable. You know

Rird THAT emit he PatrOniZed.

One may pet or %patronize, accord
ing to ones nature, a chipping spar
row, bluebird, or phoebe, but he is in
deed we'll coated with self-esteem who
does not feel a sense of inferiority in
the presence of a jay. He is such a
shrewd, independent, and aggressive
creature that one is inevitably led to
the belief that he is more of a success
as a bird than most men are as men.
Conspicuous by voice and action dur
ing the fall and winter, when other
birds are %quietest, he becomes silent
when other birds are most vocal. If
he has a love-song, il is reserved for
the ear of his mate. At this season he
even controls his fondness for owl
batting, and with it his vituperative
gifts. The robin, the catbird, and the
thrasher seem eager to betray the To-
cation of their nest to every passer-by,
but the blue jay gives no evidence of
the site of his habitation by being
seen in its vicinity.-Frank NJ. Chap

Cargo of Tramps Wrecked.

Chicago, July IA freight wreck
on the Lake Shore & Michigan South
ern railway at Nineteenth street Sun
day, resulted in the injury of seven
men who were beating their way to
Chicago. Eight cars filled with tramps
were telescoped and shouts of pain
came from men buried in the wreck
age. Many of them were not severe
ly injured, and as soon as they
gained their liberty they ran away.
There were at least fifty tramps
stealing rides in cars that were de-
rallied, and it is remarkable that 0
were not injured.

Chimerical schemes for the flooding
of the desert of Sahara have often
been discussed, but a far more inter-
esting and useful engineering feat of
just the opposite kind is about to be
accomplished by that most practical
of peoples, the Dutch. The proposed
scheme is for pumping dry and turn
ing into arabic pasture land the Zuy-
der Zee, that inland sea which covers
over 1,4O0 square miles in the heart of
Holland. This undertaking, which
will take many more than 90 years to
accomplish, should result in providing
homes for $4,000 people and in adding
greatly to the wealth and prosperity
Of Holland. AS all example of interior
expansion, this undertaking is unique
in history, and no more stupendous
engineering feat has ever been
planned.-Leslie's Monthly.
