THE SENSES OF sAvAGEs.

There is a widespread notion. chiefly due. per-
haps, TO the pages of romance, that man in a
primitive state is possessed of far finer senses
than his more civilized brother. His practsed
eye will detect a moving object the distant
prairie which would be quite invisible to a
European, and his would at the same time
give him warning which would be quite in
audible to his educated brother. The superb
GRITTY of savage man in these respects was put to
the test during the Cambridge AnthropolOgical
Expedition to Torres Strait in 1899, the second
volume of the reports of which has recently
been published. This is the first time that any
attempt has been made TO test the senses of
savages by skilled observers and modern in
struments. Most of the observations referred to
were carried out by DR.. Rivers and MesSrs.
Myers and McDOugall on Murray Island; and
the natives seem to have heartily co-Operated
with the eXperimenters when they learned that
the trials were designed to show how superior
they were to white men in seeing and hearing.
The result of four months careful tests was the
deduction that the visual acuteness OF the
natives was only slightly superior to that OF the
average Observation-Disclosures Journal

MOON SIGNALS.

Mr., Rookesby is a well known inventor in the
colony. Brought up as a seaman, this grand
old man educated himself by reading such
works as The Scientific American; ard he has
perfected several scientific Instruments, such
as a new and star dial besides erecting on
his plan shield lights that have been
very useful in preventing shipwrecks. He also
erected the heograph between Turkey Station
and the lighthouse but failed to make cOmmUni-
cation with Gladstone, thirtyfOur miles off
either because S-inch mirror was too small
or because of other conditions peculiar TO the
lie of the country. He then experimental with
signalling by moonlight and discovered that
Notwithstanding the feeble light of the moon as
compared with sunlight-owing to the darkness
of the night, the moons reflections were quite
powerful enough to carry the intervening ten
miles between the two stations.
But what, il may be asked is the value of the
discovery? Why for example. moonlight
night il might save six eight hours, by en-
abling a soldier to moon signal at once instead
of waiting for the rise of the next days sun, and
the issue of battle might depend on certain
information being at once communicated TO the
general in cOmmand-(Chamberss Journal.

turn to protection would only make our posi-
ton worse. An analogy to such policy may
be found IN an Illustration recently used by Mr..
Balfour. He hkened the conduct of an internal
tonal commerce to the management of a bal
loon, and suggested that by abOlShing every
protective duty We had thrown out every sand
bag. What should think of the aeTOnautS
who finding the balloon still falling, agreed that
something must be done, and then, happy
thought, determined in lieu of sand bags to let
out some gas? This is really a precise parallel to
the wisdom of the statesmen who. in view Ct our
being distanced in manufacturing production by
another nation. propose to increase our own
efficiency in the competition by Gripping the
resources of our workers and denying full free
dom to their activity.-CLeonard Courtney, in
The Contemporary Review.

ARBoR DAY IN AUSTRALIA.

The State schools in South Australia have
pretty annual festival, called Arbor Day, when
all the scholars and teachers assemble in the
open space before their schoOlhouse and plant
young tree, which it is the special duty of the
children to tend throughout the year. The rest
OF the day is devoted to sports and merTymak-
ing. The trees are provided by the government,
and forwarded gratis to every State schoolmas-
ter in the colony. Rapidly growing varieties are
usually chosen, such as the graceful pepper
tree with its delicate tasses of greensh white
flowers and coral pink berries; or the Moreton
Bay fig whose glossy green leaves will resist
almost any heat. In a surprisingly short time
the dusty playground will be surrounded with
a fringe of trees, forming a welcome relief for
weary eyes.-(E Nj. NALL, in Longmans.

Allied with this interest in the Eastern
Churches was the wider dream of reunion. The
confirmation of Oriental rights and recognition
OF decree of autonomy among the Oriental
Communions in 1894 bore great practical
fruit But it was the public manifestation of
great thought. And this aspiration for the
union of the churches eIoquently expressed
in letter published in the same year, with
the truly Papal address, "Principibus populisque
universis," on the high ideal of unity in the
faith.
In the same connection must be recorded the
letter Of 1895, "Ad Angles which also marked
a spirit Of charity and Cancellation toward those
external to the Papal communion. This letter
probably bore permanent fruit, although doubt
less the complex state of the ecclesiastical word
Of England was not fully understood by tn
Pope The POpe's action could in circum-
stances have led to practical negotiations for
reunion. And what won by the subsequent
announcements the constitution Of the
Church (the Salts cOgnitum'D. and on Anglican
orders 0he ''ApostolicaE cura') in TescUing the
original appeal to the English from misunder
standing, VIII probably prove in the long run
equally important, even though the immediate
irritation produced by the brief on Anglican or

makes toward the Japanization of China. In

Swallowed the Bottle

Human glass eaters are extremely
numerous, but it isn't often that an
animal or reptile sets himself up in
that business. However, here IS a
story Of a snake glass eater from the
Coffeyville Journal, which has all the
elements of truth in it: Mrs. J. VI.
Creath, who lives seven miles nor h
east of the city, went out to her hen
house a morning or two ago, and find
ing a house snake about four feet
long lying on the foor of the hennery

the snake, the reptile was cut open.
Imagine their establishment when a
shoe polish bottle popped out. Mrs.
Creath had been using shoe polish to-
mark eggs which had been sc, and
had left it lying on the ground in the
chicken house"
