DECEITFUL APPEARANCES

The traveller hailing from cities or a
rolling country near the sea level usu-
ally finds it difficult to properly gauge
distances when on the water or plains.
The plains forming the western sec
ton Of the high plateau commencing
west of Missouri are especially decep-
tive by reason Of. the dry and rare air

rupted stretch, Of level. From these
level mesas, acting intellectually as
pedestals to the rampant and green noun

Peak, it is frequently possible to see 20
to 100 miles, and occasionally more. =:
An Englishnnan travelling throughout the
state Of Colorado determined to walk
from his hotel to a near by: mesa before
breakfast. After walking 21a hours he
wheeled about and, returned home dis
gusted; he had apparently covered. no
ground. He was surprised to- learn from
the proprietor: of the hotel that the near
by mesa was 80 miles; distant.
The next morning ~ Elarge party OF
guests of the hotel, including the English
man, started out for a long tramp. AS
they were about to jump over. a. three

ground, took off his shoes and rolled up

remarked: /; what you say about that

IND1ANeVERsI0N OF ,AEsoP
Not the Rabbits somnolence but the Tor.
tolse's DupIlcIty the Cause of Molly
CottontaiPs Defeat
Lippincott's MAGAZINE.


According to DR.. Otis r. Mason; one of
the curators of the Smithsonian institution
at Washington, Aesop's story Of the race
between the tortoise and the hare is one
of the most widely diffused fables in the
WHOLE category of folk tales. Following
is a version related by the Botocudo In
dams of the Amazon valley, in South
America, one of the choicest in DR.. Ma
sons collection:
"Once upon time the rabbit bantered
| the tortoise for a race Of one mile up the
public highway .'' :=,;E
"''Your challenge is not fair one re-
piled the tortoise, for it is almost impos-
sible for me to run over hard ground like
that of the public highway. NV feet are
soft, and can only run to advantage over
the leaves and grass of the forest. If you
wish, you may run up the public highway
to the goal-post, while I speed through
the forest parallel with the road
'"The rabbit reasoned to himself in this
wise: The tortoise is a great fool. Any
| one can see" that it is easier to run over
the smooth and level public road. free
of all distractions, than through the forest
where trees, briars, logs, stumps and vines
are in the way -
! $50 thinking, the rabbit agreed to all
that the tortoise proposed, scarcely able
to restrain his glee over what he: consid-
cred the stupidity Of his rival in choosing
| -.
Now, as Gin South America j all tor
toise look alike, on the night preceding the
day set for the race the tortoise gathered
together all his relatives to the number ri
a thousand or more. He took them to the
| race course and made them form in single
| file, until he had a line of tortoises extend
| ing parallel with the public road. through
| the forest and bushes, from the starting
point to within five feet of&the goal-post
At the head Of his long string Of relatives
the tortoise established himself; SELECTING
a position in some bushes that Commanded
a clear view of the public road for seyera

"Along about 10 o'clock the rabbit ar

father at the starting point, but, as befor,
stated. all tortoises look alike in the ANA

FIFE WILL BUILD THE
NEW CUP CHALLENGER
Sir Thomas Upton Awards Contract
for Construction of Shamrock III
to the Fairlie Yacht Designer.

order for the new yacht was given TO and
accepted by Mr.. Fife
In view Of the probability OF big re-
vival of British yachting and the fact
that designing and experimenting a cup
challenger necessitates constant work for
at least a year. Mr. Fife was somewhat
disinclined 10 accept the big job.
Sir Thomas, however. found means Of
overcoming his objections George l.
Watson has promised 10 assist Mr. Fife
In every way by handing over 20 him the
details of the construction OF the Sham
rock III and all the calculations and de-
tails of the tank experiments made az
the Dennys' yard. With these and the
experience gained with the Shamrock /
Mr.. Fife starts with a distinct advantage
over his first efforts.
In a recent conversation with a friend
Mr.. Watson indicated that he still be-
lieved the Columba's victory over the
Shamrock III was largely due 10 luck and
that he believed the Shamrock III was
quite Columbia's equal.
Mr. Fife is already collecting material
and will commence designing the sham
rock III so soon as the boats now on
hand for the next British yachting season
are fairly started. which probably will
be at the end of this month. The Sham
rock III is To be ready early in the spring
OF 1903.

As for the honesty of these people,
l appeal to every English merchant
or banker, from Peiin to Hongkong,
to answer if he ever heard of dis
honest Chinese merchant or banker.
So far from that not only has every
English bank two Cinnamon to re-
ceive and hand out money but every
bank in Japan has the same. The
English will tell you, half in jest, that
the Japanese is an Oriental Yankee,
and does not trust his own people;
and they will tell you, half in earnest.
that the English bankers employ
Chinese to handle their money be-
cause they never make mistakes.
These people of China have never
had anything like bankrupt law. If
a man cannot pay his debts, or some
one does not secretly come forw"r rd
and pay them. at the end Of each
year, he has "lost his face and SO
he dies by his own hand. Yet, with
all their piteous poverty, they have
no such words as hard times" for
everything must be settled mp at the
end of the year. There can be no en-
tension of time. Confucius forbade it.
Joaquin Miller, in the North Ameri-
can Review.
