challenge to or accept one from a
French officer, did what he considered
the only thing left him, knocked the
Frenchman down and later refused
him satisfaction in duel The latter

THE BURMESE WOMAN.
with All Her Fai1ings, She Is Held
In High Esteem.


Burma, as in many other things
writes v. G. Scott in his book "The
Silken East" lis in advance Of more
reputedly civilized countries in the
status it accords to its women. The
infant marriage and shutting up in
walled houses, the polygamy, the ha-
rems, the social punishment Of widows,
the denial Of spiri tual rights which pre-
vail in India are unknown n Burma
Here women marry when they are Of
age and after they have seen some
what of the world. They marry. for
the most part, Whomsoeyer they will
ard from love. They are not handed
over as chattels to man whom they
know not, but arc courted and won.
The married women's property act has
In effect been established for centuries
In Burma. In this country, where the
women earn SO much, the woman's
earnings are her own. Divorce is cas-
lily obtained, but seldom asked for. The
lightness of the marriage laws, the
readiness Of the Burmese women to en-
ter into an easy alliance, shock the vir-
tue Of the strenuous foreigner, but
within her ideals she is a perfectly
proper, modest and well hammered Wo-
man.
''She has failings. Who has not7 Her
practice of chewing betel is inelegant
and destructive to her teeth; her voice
is apt under the pressure Of adversely
to be shrill; her keen business faculties
detract a trife from the romance in
which, as in halo, all women are en-
veloped; in old age she is very ugly,
and even in youth her nose is stumpy,
her lips little thick, her cheek bones
high and heavy-but these are eau
casian objections.
I'm the eyes Of the young men of the
land the Burmese girl is a peerless
creature, and her influence over their
hearts and their passions Is immense.
What is more, few men in Burma ever
undertake anything of magnitude with
out first seeking the able counsel Of
their wives"

AN ODD VERDICT.
why an Indians Horse Was DecIar-
ed winner of q Race.

Why an Indians Horse Was DecIar-
ed Winner Of q Race.
A man who has travelled extensively
in the west among other anecdotes told
this one
II was present at horse race in
New Mexico one day, where a horse
belonging to an Indian had been
matched against swift footed pony
which was the property Of a cowboy.
The pony was known by the white
men to be better racer than the other
animal, and the race had been ar
ranged for the purpose Of fleeing the
redskins. An ir1promptu course of a
mile had been arranged and the race
was to be four times over the course
The cowboys gave their rider instruc
tons to hold the pony back until the
finish, so that they could induce the In
dams to make big bets.
"The Indians horse took the lead at
the start and retained it. The cowboys
offered more money as the race pro-
crossed, and the Indians, seeing their
horse in the Lead took the wagers. So
it went until three and half miles
had been covered and the Indians had
bet all their possessions against the
money of the cowboys. Then the COW
boy rider put the spurs to the pony.
He passed the horse In the last quarter
and crossed the line five lengths ahead.
There were three judges. Two OF
them were Indians, and the ether was
a cowboy. We winp cried the cow
boys and started to collect the bets,
when the Indian judges interposed.
:" Uh, uh,' they grunted, Indians
horse VIM
'How's thatY shouted the cowboys.
Didn't the pony come in irstY
But Indians horse was in front
most Of the way. Indians win,' came
the final decision of the two Indian
judges, and there was no appeal

ANIMAL IRREGULARITIES.
Fish and Crabs That Can Initiate
Their Surroundings.


Fish and Crabs That Can Initiate
Their SURROUNDINGS.
Many insects, birds, animals and even
fish apsd crabs are wonderfully clever
imitators. They aill take upon them
selves the color, shape or position Of
their surroundings SO perfectly that
neither friend nor enemy can discover
their whereabouts.
There is fish to be seen in the kelp
beds about the island of Santa Catalina
which has clever way OF making it.

a pointed head and prominent eyes.
Along the back is continuous frill.
which is the dorsal fin, WHILE opposite.
the anal fin is equally ornamented. The
fish vary in color. Some are amber, 9TH
ers orange or vivid green, while some
have two hues combined, dark and light
green or olive and yellow. These pecu-
narities Of form and color render the
fish marvelously like the kelp leaves
among which it seeks protection.
A number Of these fish were placed
in the tanks Of the geological gardens,
where they might be observed. They
showed great uneasiness, some Of them
even leaping from the tank. Another
tank was prepared, where the natural
surroundings Of the fish were initiated
as nearly as possible. A branch Of ma
crocystis, with leaves hanging In the
water, was suspended over the tank.
The most uneasy of the fish were placed
in the new home, and their change Of
feeling was soon evident. One swan at
once to the kelp leaves and poised it.
self, head downward. Another, with
head poised upward, became a remark
able imitation of the hanging leaves In
shape and color. The fish made no
further effort to escape.
Another inhabitant Of the kelp beds is
an olive green crab, which clings to the
under side Of the kelp tangles. This
crab also showed great uneasiness
when it was placed In tank. When
the kelp was introduced it crawled up
SO much did it resemble the kelp leaves.
Another crab makes itself look exactly
like a rough stone. When it is alarmed
it draws up it's legs and appears bit
of inanimate stone.
Several deep sea spiders which had
been found at depth of 800 feet were
kept in tank for several weeks. When
taken from the dredging net they were
dark brown, though presumably the
spot where they came from was so dark
that they could scarcely have been seen.
Yet even this type of apparently slug
gish life had sufficient intelligence to
realize that in the light of the tank it
was conspicuous object, SO it began
to add seaWeed to its back. The sea
weed was plucked, then passed to the
mouth and finally attached not to the
back, but to the point of the shell above
the mouth so that it fell over the back
like gorgeous plume, making the crab
very conspicuous. But when it was
startled the plume Of seaweed would
point upward and the crab would be-
come a rock with a tuft Of seaWeed
growing upon it, well calculated to de-
ceive the most observing enemy.-New
