about $4,000 square miles and a popu-
lation of about 100000, lies on the
northeastern coast of the island of
Borneo. It is fertile country,
drained by many rivers, and remark
able for it's spices, tobacco, coffee,
rice, gutta percha, sage, and, it should
also be remarked, orang-outangs. Gold
is exported and diamonds and coal
are mined. Although it lies in the
torrid zone, its lowest boundary reach
ing within fifty miles of the equator,
it has fairly good climate, and the
fact that Europeans may live there
comfortably is borne out by the long
residence of the Rajah's family. Sar-
awak, declared independent by the
first Rajah Brooke, the adventurer

that has found it's way into print, in

eminent
Sir James Brooke was the son of
civil service employee of the East In
dia Company, in the military service
of which young Brooke entered as
cadet. He spent the early years of
his active life in Bengal, and was later
commissioned lieutenant. In the
Burmese war he was shot through the
lungs, and returned home to recuper-
ate. He recovered, but the ship in
which he had taken passage back to
India having been wrecked, he reached
there the day after his leave had ex-
pired, and was told he had lost his
commission. 1t was in vain that he
explained he was victim of a ship
wreck. His explanation was not re-
ceived, and the victim of red tape
turned from his military career to one
of adventure.
Turned from India, young Brooke
accompanied the ship which had
brought him out to China, and on the
way he got his first glimpse of the
wonderful Indian , archipelago-of
which Twelve Thousand Isles" Bor-
neo is the pearl. The idea Of explor-
ing the mysterious islands and the
value of the products from them took
his fancy, and upon his return to Eng.
land his mind was made up; he had
decided on life Of adventure.
In 1888 his father died, and James
Brooke succeeded to fortune so
handsome that his life of adventure
was assured. He bought schooner
yacht, the Royalist, 142 tons, put
crew on board and then sailed into
the Mediterranean, where, for several
years, the crew was trained, and then
selected with the care Of pirate
chief. He wanted none but trusty,
lusty and true men aboard the Royal
list. Finding a crew to his liking, he
weighed anchor and set out for the
China Sea. When he reached Singa-
pore he decided to take a look at |
Borneo.
Borneo at that time was under the
rule of the Rajah Muda Hassim, as
fine an example of cutthroat as ever

VARIOUS KINDS OF DAYS.

Word Said to Have No Real Meaning
Without Defining Adjective.
Five kinds of day are recognized,
and 1t has been said that the word
day" has no real meaning without an
adjective defining what kind of day
is meant. There is a civil day. the
astronomical day, the apparent solar
day, the mean solar day, and the sid.
ereal day. The civil day begins at the
midnight preceding mean noon, and
consists Of twenty-four hours counted
after twelve o'clock; the astronomical
day begins twelve hours after the civil
day, or at the mean noon Of the cor.
responding civil day. These hours
are reckoned from 0 to "a. 1t will be
seen, therefore, that while 10hr.
12min., January list astronomical time,
is also 10hr. 12min. January 1st civil
time. yet 22hr. 12min., January LIST as
Economical time, is also 10hr. 12min.
a. m, January End civil time. There
are many anomalies growing out Of
this use Of the civil day, and there are
many arguments in favor of using the
astronomical day. 1t Is one Of the
reforms which undoubtedly will come
some time.

ing chorus was on, and it was plainly
his cue to appear with recitative.
So the yacht Royalist set sail, with
numerous presents for the Rajah.
He found Muda Hassim to be gen.
erous and well affected to the English,
and he found the rebellion had been
moderated. The Rajah intimated that
he would like to have him stay a
while, but instead Brooke pushed into
the interior and visited several wild
tribes. He saw enough to convince
him that Sarawak was a golden OPP
portunity; but he left the country
after having satisfied himself. In 1910
he paid another visit, and found the
rebellion had increased. The Sultan
OF Bruni (Borneo) was bestirring him
self, and the Rajah considered it time
to make move. He approached
Brooke and asked his assistance in
putting down the rebellion.
Brooke enjoyed the scheme, and led
parties Of Malays and Dyaks against
the rebel chieftain, Shereef Moksain.
He built forts in the jungle, and rein
forced his native troops with men
from his yacht; finally, after terrific
battle in which Brooke was wounded,
he drove the rebels into a river.
There was a whirlwind action in the
methods of the European which
showed the rebels that they were con-
tending against training and skill, so
they agreed to truce, and in Decem-
Der, 1910, after four years of hostili-
ties, a treaty of peace was signed.
Brooke made the rebels burn their
stockades and surrender their arms,

ton, and then turned his attention to
the pirates which infested the coast,
and soon that business, which had
been an honorable profession for 1000
years, was wiped out. Brooke began
to organize government. He ruled

laws, had them properly executed, de-

An enthusiastic motor cyclist in In
dia, to escape the heat OF Bombay,
rode his machine up to Khandalla. 1t
Is seventy-odd mile run and the
road, until the foot of the CHATS is
reached, is perfectly fiat. Upon the
stiffest gradient he overlook a herd
of water buffalo. Hardly had he gone
yard in front of the animals when
one of them took offense at the smell
of the gasoline. or regarded the la
bored "tuff-tuff" of the engine as a
challenge to mortal combat. 1t gave
a grunt, lowered its head and charged
heavily upon the intruder. The road
was more than steep. 1t was dan
gerous. On the right hand lowered a
cliff, on the left there was a drop Of
nearly 1000 feet on to the tops of the
trees in the valley below. The lum-
bering beast gained rapidly. Luckily,
the rider carried revolver. He drew
1t and fired back over his shoulder.
The first shot missed, the second
passed along the animals side. With
a roar of pain the huge beast started
aside, slipped on the edge of the
"khud" and the next minute crashed
down on the tree tops below.
