Word blindness.

Some curious instances Of the physic.
al defects Of word blindness" are Civ
en- in the Lancet The disease is for
tunately uncommon. In one case the
sufferer, an Englisman, thirty-four
years Of age, who knew Greek, Latin
and French well, suddenly lost all
knowledge Of English, though he could
read and understand Greek perfectly
and Latin and French in rather
smaller degree. Another and almost
more curious case was that Of a man
who lost the power of reading at sight.
This patient was able to write accu'
rately from dictation, but was COM
pletely unable to read what he had
written. Word blindness is apparently
akin to color blindness, but is certainly
attended by much more inconvenient
consequences.

The Mississippi 100000 Years Ago

Did you ever figure on what was the
probable condition of the great Mis-
sissippi river 10000, 100000 or even
100000 years ago? Scientists suggest
that the erosion of it's bed was ac-
complished by q mighty cataract,
which began far down the river, prob
ably at the place where it then emp
tied into the gulf, and by gradual re-
progression dug out the valleylike
gorge through which it now flows.
That this theory is tenable may be in
ferred from the high, wall-like bluffs,
features so characteristic Of the upper
part of its course.
A wearing away Of monster cata'
ract would Of course necessarily leave
high walls or bluffs on either side
These are the we'll known features OF
the father of meandering streams. 1t
would seem, according to this theory
that st. Anthonys falls constitute the
remnant Of what was once the most
stupendous cataract in the world. Ge-
ologiSts estimate that it has taken the
river 100000 years to carve out the
mighty ditch through which 1t now
flows.

OlVERG ENT OPINIONS.

Daily States.
1t appears that Gov. Taft's
estimate of the Filipino character
is widely different from that OF
some of the army officers who
have served in the islands. Gov.
Taft recently contributed an ar
ticle to the Independent in which
he has this to say of the natives
of the Philippines:
''They are not warike race;
they are not proud people: they
they are quiet, decorous and
timid Deople. Even in
their uneducated and super
stitious condition of mind, how
ever these people have one bond
of union with US and that is their
Christian training for two hund-
dred years. The Filipino is
attached to his church. He is a
good Roman Catholic. They are
timid people who have been op-
pressed in times past, and who
have sougth to oescapeoppress
as oppressed people in history
always have sought to escape
oppression-by dissimulation and
what the army calls treachery
and lying" ,.
Concerning the present politi-
The Lafayette gazette., 1902-05-24

cal capacity of the mass of the /
people he is very skeptcal, but
believes it is entirely possible to
train them and lead them by |
the example of Il government hon. |
estly administered and progress
Sivcly autonomous to a condition |
of fitness for ultimate self-govern-
ment. 1t is evident, however,
that not a few army officers dis
agree with Gov. Taft and belive
that the FilipinOs are fit only as
food for gunpOwder. An officer
of the regular army now at home
in Philadelphia on a leave OF
absence uses the following Ian
guage in discussing the char.
acteristics of the people described
by Gov. Taft as good Roman
Catholic Christians"
THE Philippines are all right
enough or rather will be when
we get the damned niggers
properly licked. The country
is fine, but as long as you people
at home keep on crying for free
dom and such rot for the treach-
erOus robbers, you will never do
anything with the islands. 1t is
one thing to fight men, but it's a
different story when you have to
march through wild country
and fight a crazy lot of monkeys,
who stick a knife into you the
moment you turn your back.
Its all right to sympathize
with them in America, but in the
island swamps it IS another thing.
All you want to do then is to
thrash HI out of 'em and get
back to camp. AS a rule this
fighting is too much like work,
and the boys aren't for it a bit
but Lord! if you want real fun.
you ought to see a good live
''nigger drive" It beats all
When our boys get them on the
run and corner the devils ther
look out. 1t don't take long tc
clean 'em up. OF course, it's not
exactly war, but then they are
not real human beings. America
has got to grow, and any damned
nigger people who get in the way
had better look out, for wei
walk right over them every
time.'
Between these two very OppO
site opinions the American peo
pie are left to pay their money
and take their choice.
