The Correct Writers.

There is not single great author in
our literature in whose works numer-
Gus errors have not been pointed out,
or thought TO be pointed out. They are
charged with violating rules involving
the purity ii not the permanence Of the
language. a somewhat depressing in
ference follows from the situation thus
revealed. The ability to write English
correctly does not belong to the great
masters of our speech. 1t is limited to
the obscure men who have devoted
themselves to the task Of showing how
far these Wanted writer's have fallen
short of the ideas of linguistic pro
priety entertained by their unrecog-
nized Letters. AS result OF these
critical crusades there is no escape
from she dismal conclusion that the
correct use of the language is not to
lie found IN the authors whom every
one reads with pleasure. but is an &C
cOmplisnm,nt reserved exclusively for
those WON nobody can succeed IN
reading at all.-harper Magazine.

NEW TYPE OF RHINOCEROS.
small Herds OF the Species, White in
.CoIor, Lately Discovered In
Darkest Africa.

There are albinos in nearly every
species of created things-white ne /
groes, white elephants, white mice
and white deer-but up to a recent
date no one had ever seen white
rhinoceros. 1t is now reported that
these are in existence in a recently |
explored portion of Africa. They are
almost extinct and probably not more |
than a dozen or so are left. The Re-
vue Scientifque prints an account of
a recent meeting with small herd
of these animals in Natal. Fortunate
ly, they are strictly protected by law,
and, fortunately also, the party that
met the animals included the governor
of the colony, otherwise the species
might have been now more nearly ex.
tinct than ever before, for hunters are
not very scrupulous in such matters.
They (the rhinoceri) were moving
at a slow pace toward jungle and
easily allowed the observers to APP
proach. The party came within 81
yards of the huge quadrupeds, which
were cropping the grass on the plain.
The rhinoceri apparently were not At
J all disturbed. The horsemen ois
mounted and approached yet nearer
stopping about 20 yards from the herd
During a minute or two the animals
seemed to pay no attention whatever
to the human beings who were watch
ing them and kept on browsing. SOor
they began to sniff the air, as if they
had discovered some thing disquietine
or disagreeable, yet, curiously enough
they seemed not to see the visitors
although the latter were not hidden
After a short time, during which they
showed a sort of vague preoccupation
they withdrew, first walking and final.
w trotting Doubtless it is very sci.
dom that these animals may be seer
for so long at such short range.
The herd was composed of fouI
adults Zone a powerful male) and OF
one animal about three-quarters
grown. The same day herd of three
other rhinoceri were seen, one male
one female and young one. Thus
eight individuals were seen, and Prob.
ably these comprise all that is left
of the species in the region, except.
perhaps. one or two animals. 1t is
estimated that there may be ten alto
gether. 1t is believed that there are
also few in the Ubombo chain. but
this is doubtful. The white rhinocer ri
are as strictly protected as possible
1t is absolutely forbidden t o hunt them
on penalty of a fine of $3.50 to $500 OF
imprisonment. and the governor him.
self cannot give permission to xii
them. This is very wise, for even il
there remain as many as 20 white
rhinoceri in the world there are GER
tainly no more. And It is rather late t.
take up the work of preserving thii
5 interesting species.
