such as sail under the cover of night
and hide their booty on desert islands.
Such a story came the other day
from the Philippines. Two censtabu-
larry officers of Mindanao. C. F. John
son and George Hermann. both OF
whom had acquitted themselves with
distinction in the regular army were
said to have stolen $4,000 from safe
and@tos have put -teese in the thirty
ton vessel the Victoria. After over
awning the captain, they compelled him
to sail from Mindanao for the Borneo
coast. On the way the pirates were re-
ported to have held up the steamship
Irene and secured a large supply Of
coal. The CAPTAIN of the Victoria, how
ever, showed that he had sagacity
enough for the occasion, and in spite Of
the pirates orders he ran the boat into
mud bank. At this turn of affairs
johnson and Hermann transferred
their booty to the native dugouts, such
as are used by local smugglers and
traders. Tt was in such a boat that
the two men were attacked by native
crew of six Filipinos. The encounter
occurred off the west coast of Negroes,
and one of the pirates showed that he
possessed all the daring which belongs
to his fraternity. Though stabbed in
the neck, Hermann fought with such
vfciouspess that he killed four men be-
fore he escaped, After he had band
aged his wounds, Hermann navigated
the boat ashore. He abandoned the
I dugout and took refuge in the neigh
boring mountains. Johnson might have
won as bloody victory as his COM
panion pirate had he not been killed in
stantly in the first attack. The con-
stabulary afterward recovered the boat
and much of the booty which it con-
tained.i 1T was then discovered that
the attacking Filipinos were also brig
ands, who had hoped to get the loot
for themselves.

If one follows the history of piracy
back as far as the. legendary times OF
the Greeks and Phenicians, one will find
that satan as a buccaneer tempts hui
mainly more successfully than in most
of his other aliases. Again and again
men have become freebooters upon the
main who were able to live honest lives
ashore.
The poets of all ages and languages
tell of the inspiration to lawlessness
which comes with the very odor of the
sea, and how the sailor is apt to reflect
in his own character the WantonneSs
and the wildness of the waters he sails.
Thus Byron has written in 'sThe Cor
Sair":
Ger the glad waters of the dark, blue sea,
Our thoughts as boundless, and our souls
as free,
Far as the breeze can bear, the pillows
foam,
Survey our empire and behold our home"
of the pirates life this black mustach-
ed cartridge belted parsonage has all
ways appealed powerfully to the small
boy. Every lad, if he has had nor
nal mind and healthy body, has wish
ed to be a pirate and tits safe to say
that he has read such books as Davis,
the Buccaneer," which contains such
passages as these:
"a dead calm was on the sea, and
the ocean slept, while the 1noonbeams
played soft and bright on its bosom.
But the pirate frigate which lay mo-
uonleSs on the waters was awake with
life of the widest and most tumuitous
kind. The lower gun deck was one
blaze of light, revealing fierce, in
famed countenances and brawny
forms, as in the madness of their rev.,
erly they Joined in a frantic dance,
which was indeed an orgy OF fiends,"
When full-grown men leave ciYiliZa :
ton and adopt career of theft and
murder, it may only be that, this boy
ish impulse at last breaks OUT In ma
tured form. Such seems to be the way
the famous Sir Henry Morgan became
a pirate. Born in Wales, the son of
respectable merchant. young Morgan
went to sea apparently as good boy
as ever kissed his mother good-by. He
sailed for the Barbados, and there he

dies and the Campeche coast swarmed

of his audacity and his personal mag

ering about him band Of outlaws, with
whom he ravaged the Spanish Main.
In those merry times the pirates and
the gentlemen were oftentimes COM
bined. Sir Francis Drake in many of
his expeditions was nothing more than
a pirate, yet he also enjoyed the dis
tinction of being a member Of parlia-
ment, a knight and a defender of her
majestys realm" When England was
nomina1ly at peace with Spain, Drake
captured ships and sacked cities. On
his return to England after one expe-

Here Are Some
Queer Chinese Kites


The new Asiatic and Chinese collection
recently received at the American Mu-
scum of Natural History, New York, and
which will be shortly displayed to the
public in one of the unopened west halls,
contains many rare and interesting OBJ
jects new to the eyes of the Western
world. One of the most striking and
spectacular features is a series of Chinese
kites, Iavishly ornamented, and con-
structed in the most astonishing and
fanciful designs. The ordinary kite of
the Yankee boy, with its primitive shape
and plain surface, is a decidedly crude
and Insignificant continuance alongside
the scientific and gayly decorated pro-
auctions handled by the Chinaman. These
kites came from the vicinity Of Pekin.
They form part of an extensive ex-
hibit now being gathered from Eastern
Asia by DIR. Berthold Laufer, a disting-
uished Oriental traveller and scholar, who
is versed in the language and customs OF
Asiatic peoples Through the generosity OF
Morris K. Jesup and several others, this
special collection has been procured. the
scope of which is designed to fully IL
lustrate the everyday life, popular amuse-
ments, beliefs and industries of the
Chinese; in fact, to thoroughly empha-
size the general characteristics of thelI
culture on a larger scale than hitherto
attempted in this country. This Is
thought to be most opportune and neces-
sary, in view of the increasing political
intercourse and rapidly expanding com
merce between our country and Eastern
Asia.
Their great love of art, which pervades
the whole life of the Chinese people
is most wildly portrayed in their kites
IN their varied shapes. ranging from ami
mai to human forms, they are at all times
extremely picturesque, artistic in shape
vary from one to six feet. The frame is
made of light bamboo sticks. says the
