LEARNED TO SHOOT

That the japanese know how to shoot
has been made apparent to the nations,
but it would puzzle most people to say
who gave them their first lesson in the
use Of firearms. 1t might possibly be
supposed that they borrowed the art,
as they have borrowed other things,
from their Chinese neighbors, who We're
certainly acquainted with the virtues
of villainous sa1tpetre long before gun
powder was introduced into Europe.
But it was no Chinese musketry in
structor who taught the Jap to handle
a gun. The lesson came from a Portu-
guese traveller and soldier of fortune,
one of the companions of the renowned
Fernand Mendez Pinto, who tells the
story. Pinto has been called the prince
of liars. but the libel is quite without
justification. He was an accomplished
Among other things, he went
to Lhassa and took down a sermon
preached by the Dalai Lama, but that
is another story. His adventures in
