The imaginative man in a great city like New
York alternates between two possessing moods
one a mood of resentment against the impris-
onment of granite walls, of longing for nature
for the great quiet of the woods; the other
mood of appreciation for the picturesque. the
underlying, even the fantastic aspects of city
life. for the human countenances of buildings
and the mutiform suggestion of squares and
crowds and architectural masses. record of
impressions caught when this latter mood is
prevalent doubtless exists in more than one
writer's notebook. And some of the leaves torn
out at random, might read something like the
following sketches:

06e Plot That Failed.

Going to Canada. are you?' asked a young
NewYork business man of friend about to
set off on his vacation the other day. Where
abouts in Canada are you going? To the
Muskoka Lakes? Well, if it's not too late
should like to sound note of warning. for I've
been there. my boy. Since that summer have
classified three things dangerous to trihe
with in my ictionary-Muskoka. moonlight and
Canadian girls. 1 must tell you my experience
so you can profit by it and be wary.
Il was there in August. and late in the month.
The girl who attracted me had had a gay sum-
mer and had all the accomplishments of a
summer girl in excellent practice. and was. of
course, as pretty as a picture-an Canadian
girls are.
There was another fellow there-a confound-
ed Toronto bank clerk, 1 think-and to my
sorrow she seemed to prefer him to me. laugh
ing at my swimming and padding, and telling
me was at my best in a ballroom. 1 was not
perfectly at home in canoe. but made pretty
good showing, l thought. beside her precious
bank clerk. and at the rather scarce dances We
did have pretty good time together, she
and l.
And when she let me take her out in the
moonlight on Lake Rosseau, with its dark pines
against the sky making the most romantic
background, she and l in light canoe on the
my Yale cushion-weIl. my boy. you'll find out
what it feels like before you're many weeks
older or I'm much mistaken. Of course, I made
a fool of myself-for any mans a fool who
persists as 1 did with so little encouragement.
But We did have a pretty nice time, only she
would continue to laugh at me.
Time went on and 1 had only one day more
to spend at the hotel Things were getting
serious. She offended with me for a faux
pas l had made the day before, and evidently
meant to give me the Id shoulder-and it was
my last day. 1 decided on action as absolutely
essential to bring things to a point and after
thinking it over very deeply 1 decided that she
might love me if she could respect and admire
me more than she did then. So 1 must compel
this emotion. and how better. 1 thought. than
by saving her life at the (apparenO risk of
my own.
Now, am a good swimmer, though not as
fast as the other fellows up there who spend
long summers on the water, doubtless which
I have never done. They called me 'Ferryboat'
and 'Molasses' when We all went swimming to-
gether So I determined to give the lie to their
odious epithets and win my lady's gratitude and
admiration at one fell blow. by getting her out
in my canoe. upsetting US both. and doing a
grand rescue act.
Tine first and most difficult part Of my plot
was getting the girl to come out with me at
ALL but by being very pathetic about my last
day 1 managed that much and my courage
rose.
Where shall we go? I asked when had
her in neat white dress and sunbonnet in the
bow of my canoe.
LET US go to Port s. she replied de-
murely. 4 want to get film for my camera.
Is that too far?'
Nothing could be too far to me when YOU

A GAILY DECORATED CAR
The Chief of Modern Gypsy Band Travels
in an Automobile.

The gypsy has always been known as a
horse trader. Possibly he is about to change
his business from horses to automobiles.
Atsany rate, a band of gypsies is this season
travelling across the country in a gaily deco
rated automobile car. It is divided into
three compartments, bedroom, dining room,
and kitchen. The body of the vehicle is
painted deep green and the running gear
is red. - The decorations are in gold. The
chief of this twentieth century gypsy band
is enthusiastic over the automobile. He
is able to make fifty miles a day without
any trouble. AS yet he is still dealing in
horses, but his successor may prefer to
abandon horses altogether and to go thru
the country with a number of automobiles,
which he will be ready to barter in horse
trade acknowledgements Spy.

Even blinded prawns were periodic in
their color changes altho they changed

More recent study has shown
that this is a manifestation of a

Color change in the frog and

light, by contact of the toes with
different substrata, by variations
in temperature, and by the
amount of oxygen available for
respiration. These causes pro-
