OUR LIMITED PERCEPTIONS,
Scientist Wonders Why We Have No
s More Than Five Senses. ''-, .'e'sS'
tial books

The universe is narrowed to the
limits of our perceptions. It is not
the same to all persons, it may be
very different to the even more i'm
perfect faculties of other animals.
Able Moreaux suggests that if man
could perceive the ultraviolet rays,
as Lubbock has found the ants do,
he might see a whole landscape shin
ing in light unknown to us now,
while the normal man would be in
darkness. TO the color-blind, usual
" unable to distinguish red from
green and black, while some perceive
noyellow or; blue, the world is not the
same as to the average individual.
If our eyes were attuned to the Their
mo7chemical vibrations revealed by
the bolometer, the visual scale would
be transposed, and instead of the
stars now seen, we should perceive
those whose light has been long ex c
tinguisehd, the sun would appear
surrounded by it's ever-changing
corona, currents Of hot air would be-
come come visible Wis like snow squalls, and
the science Of. heat would give. up its
secrets. There are othervibrations
electric waves, X-rays, and SO on
to which we do not respond. The

The Adventures of Two Young Men
g., and Their Automobiles.


and Their Automobiles.
Once on time there were two
young men, each Of whom bought an
automobile. " e'lLa .n5oEt5A5ott5l5 # 1.
One young man, being Of a bold and
.audacious nature, said: q will make
my machine 60 fast, that it will break
all previous records g
% Accordingly, he did so, and he flew
through the small towns Like red
dragon pursuing his prey. q .
Unheeding all obstacles in his mad
career, his automobile ran into wall
of rock, and was dashed to pieces.
Also, the young man was killed.
The other young man, being Of a
timorous and careful disposition,
started off with great caution, and
rode at slow pace, pausing now and
then, lest he might run into some
thing.
The result was that two automo-
biles and an ice wagon ran into him
from behind, spelling his car and kill
ing the cautious young man.
Morals. This fable teaches us the
more haste the less speed, and delays
are dangerous. Smart Set.

Japan, according to the Review Of Re-
views, contributes round half thou

couple of hundred in India-letters
in India still turning to verse in pref

days. The Arab world has its scatter

works are they. Some Presbyterians
aided to equip a reading room for
Arab immigrants, and were aghast at
the new novels when a neat typewrit-

Its vast millions are unlettered, but.
the appetite Of its small educated

The great flood of novels comes,

Of the reading Teuton race from the
10000, 900 who speak German and the
12o, 100000 who speak English. To-
gether, these tongues yearly issue
nigh 1000 titles in fiction, juvenile
and novels together-half the worlds
stories. Implications reduce the new
fiction Of Great Britain and America
to some 1000 separate titles, about
one-third written in this country and
about two-thirds in England. Ger
man fiction, it must be remembered,
includes all greater Germany-Aus-
tria, as we'll as the more northern en-
pire; the German Of Switzerland as
well as of Russia and that of the out
lying fringe in other lands, where,
as in Belgium or Holland, there has
begun a German renaissance on the

tirement of Governor Taft from the
Philippines and his elevation to the su-
preme bench of the United States.
While the diplomatic changes caused
some surprise at the national capital,
this was principally due to the fact
that DR.. Hill has been assistant Secre-
tary of state for five years, during Il
period of more strenuous diplomatic
activity than ever before experienced
by the United States. Only one first
assistant secretary of state, Mr.. Sew
ard, ever held the post longer than
has DIR. Hill. and few have been more
successful in the discharge of their
duties.
DIR. Hill is transferred at his own re-
quest to Switzerland, which post will
be very congenial to him on account Of
the fact that his family is at present
living at Lausanne, where his children
are at school.
+ The selection of Mr.. Loomis for the
post of first assistant secretary of state
is interesting as demonstrating the con-
fidence the administration has in Mr..
Loomis, who was formerly minister to
! Venezuela, from which post he was re-
called because his action in the asphalt
controversy had been displeasing to
President Castro.
| Mr.. Loomis, who is from Ohio, was
newspaper man before being appoint
ed to be minister to Venezuela by Pres
ident Mckinley. He is the first per-
son ever nominated for the post of first
assistant secretary of state who has
previously discharged the functions of
consul, consul general and minister
plenipotentiary and who has had occa-
sion to make an exhaustive compare
tive study of the consular systems of
the European governments.
