Relie. es SEA sernent Exists]

The naturalist Of the Belgica expo
djtion lately told the Geological Sc
ciety Of France that he believes the
sea serpent to exist, and that it is
not at all an imaginary creature Of
song and story. He says it is not q
reptile, bat mammal Of the order
Of the pilanipeds, to which family the
seals belong. In form it resembles
somewhat the extinct plesiosaurus,
attaining \ length Of 200 feet, the
head and neck being one-fourth OF
the length, the trunk one.fourth and
the tail one-half. It never approaches
the coast except in pursuit Of the fish
on which it lives. IA

Why Nations Wear coisrs.

70 30 ~ % i + . .
Did It ever occur to you that the
bunch Of colored ribbons you wear
in your huttonhole- pinned on your
dress If you are girl-at commence
ment, o, at q baseball or football
game, is really a flag? asks . writer
in st. Nicholas. 1t tells to what class
or school or college you belong, or
which OF these, for the time, has your
interest and sympathy. And for some
what similar reasons do nations wear
their colors. At first, maybe, It was
to tell one another apart; but after
awhile the colors-the flag-came to
represen. the nation itself; and the
way the people acted toward the ma
tion's flag was supposed to show the
way thes felt toward the nation.

There is an effort on the part
of the sporting world, especially
in California, to get a match be.
tween Jim Jeffries and Sam Nc.
Vey the big heavy weight colored
man. IN.
- will never fight a Negro un.
less the public forces me to-" said
Jeffries before leaving for Los
Angeles last Thursday.
Have you stopped to consider
what would become Of the boxing
game if a colored man were
champion of the world? said Jeff
ries. why it would come pretty
near to killing the game. Now,
I think / have shown that I am
not given to picking and choosing.
II believe I would be top
heavy favorite if was billed to
box McVey and / am quite conf
dent | could whip him as easily
as | have whipped other fighters.
But l don't intend to take a chance
of the thing going the other way.
! have the interest of boxing at
heart and I am sure the sport
would languish if a colored man
were at the head of the principal
class. 4
In the above Jeffries admits
that the coloreu man might whip
him. It is not impossible and
may be probably. He is using the
above to adroitly evade meeting
Z acolored man-like John L. Sulli-
van did by making some fliinsy
excuse. The very idea of color
ed champion killing the game.
That statement wont. bear the
searchlight Of investigation. Did
Dixon, who was champion light
weight pugilist for ten year, or
Peter Jackson hurt the game?
Did Major Taylor, the champion
bicycle rider of the world hurt it7
Did young Bruce who led his class
at Harvard last year and was the
class orator; did that fact hurt
education? No. There is no
reason in Jeffries' utterance. It
is simply silly, illogical and un-
reasonable. In fact it is a way
to evade fighting colored man
if possible. While We are not
pugilists OF even favor the sport,
yet we hope that the pugilistic
world will either force him to
take off the championship belt or
fight any man who may challenge
him with sufficient backing.
