Walter Camp, the athletic adviser OF
Yale university, was recently entertain
ing a gathering of his undergraduate
friends with experiences of his own, says
the New York Tribune.
He told of a dinner where a charming
young woman was seated next to an ex-

her best to interest him, but had found
it necessary to shout out each remark
unto the third and fourth narration BE-
fore the old man could catch the point.
So the time dragged aong, till the din.
ner was waning and the fruit was passed.
The young woman determined to make
final effort at being agreeable, so she
threw her voice into saying:
DO you like bananas?"
'Hows that?" asked her neighbor, in
a surprised tone.

DEMANDS EKTRADITION
OF SHANGHAI REFORHERS
Chinese Government Addresses
Note to Foreign Ministers.

PEKIN. Aug 5.-The Chinese gov
eminent has addressed a note directly
to the foreign ministers requesting the
extradition OF the editor and stan OF the
"Supao," the Chinese reform organ at
Shanghai. who are charged with sedi-
tious writings. thus reinforcing the de-
mand of the Shanghai officials upon the
consuIs.
The demands state that the prisoners
are wanted for execution. A trial is not
mentioned, and it is therefore inferred
that the authorities propose to dispense
with such a formality.
Public opinion continues intense on
this affair and all the newspapers pub
lished at the treaty ports exhort the
ministers to refuse the demands. The
supporters of the Dowager Empress
have adopted an Apologize tone and as
sert that the severity Of the whipping
administered to Shen 'Chien. the reform
er journalist. who was killed at Pekin
July 81, has been exaggerated and that
he was strangled before he had suffered
greatly.

FEARED PHONOGRAPH
AS AN EVIL THING
Indians Could Hardly Be Induced
to Aid Science.

BERKELEY, Cal. Aug. 5.-The results
OF the Phebe A. Hearst expedition, just
returned from work among the indian
tribes of Northern California, are con
sidered most satisfactory. according to
PIiny E. Goddard. who directed the in
vestiEation.
The nature of the work was twofold-
first. to establish the generic connection
between the languages of the Athabapa-
sean. or Digger" stock, which is scat
tered in isolated districts from Alaska
to collect the myths and folklore OF this
rapidly disappearing people.
Goddard spent several weeks among
the TolOwes of Del Norte county about
Preston City and Smith River and later
visited tribes in the Silety Reservation
in Oregon
1t was with the utmost dificulty that
the Indian could be induced to Groom
their weird songs into the phoDogIaIh,
as they were told by the wisest OF their
elders that they would breathe their
souls into the machine never to Tegain
them. When the cylinders were reversed
and their words were resung, the Indians
were overcome with fright, believing
evil spirits to be concealed in the box.
The only records which could be Sc
cured were the dance songs and the gold
luck hunting and gambling songs. as tie
Indians are very reticent about their
love ditties and the mystical medicine
songs, which they claim the Great Spirit
teaches them and which they Will not
repeat to a stranger.
The collection and classification OF the
myths are almost as important a matter
as the comparative language study. The
most universally distributed of all the
myths was found to be the story OF the
flood. Every tribe has a deeply rooteI
tale of how some great tidal wave long
time ago rushed over the land and de-
strOyed the world.
Each tribe. moreover. has its theory OF
the creation of a Great Spirit. whose
nature seems to be quite indistinct
Even the natural qualities OF birds and
beasts are accounted for, as the olack-
ness OF the crow, who wanted TO be red
all over like the tuft of the woodpecker
but being too vain was painted black by
the Creator. and the NANCY coat of the
coyote, whose glossy fur was taken away
for gambling.
