In his search for knowledge the antHhas
the companionship of the cockroach, which
grows here to the length Of two or three
inches. can fly and stains what it cannot
devour. The house lizard is always in
evidence. One evening we counted twenty
four of these interesting little reptiles in
sight at one time on our porch.
At night large lizards in the trees call
h~oarsely to each other, and when it rains
the air is vocal with the croaking Of frogs
and the singing of insects. In the botanical
garden at Handy we saw hundreds Of flying
foxes which look like buzzards. Some of
these foxes measure four feet from tip to
tip.
find that there is a disease in these
attitudes called tropical frenzy-an I'M
comfortable anger which sometimes mani
tests itself when European officials deal
with native subjects. This has peer seri.
ously discussed in medical meetings. and
it has been argued that acts of violence
on the part Of officials should be excused
on this ground.
TIE subject has been scientifically con-
sidered at Il meeting of German physicians.
This disease seems to be confined to
Europeans, the natives being immune
from it-at least, it il not considered a
good defence when urged by a native as
an excuse for doing violence to a European.
FINANCIAL QUESTIONS OF THE ORIENT.
My experience with the money changers
of the Orient has made tire money changers
of America seem %virtuous by comparison.
This is the worst place for sha ving, for
discounts, for premiums, for commissions
and for exchange that | have visited.

hips. Curves not natural to the ma 10
figure al re supplied by the skill Of the cutter.
The coat IL 30 long as to fall vel between
the waist and the knee. This particular
garment We made up in dark blue flannel,
relieved with a white stripe at intervals
Of an inch. Like all flannel suits, il was not
supplied with a waistcoat. The loose
trouse re-, worn with a belt are rather broad
and long enough to he turned up with a
deep roll
Nothing 80 pronounced in style asthis saok
coat has been seen here this spring. 1t
is fair to say, however, that June or July
will bring them out and Newport and the
late summer will undoubtedly see speci-
mems made by New York elilors.
1t is the sack coat which seems this year
to invite the improvements of the designers.
Equally out of the ordinary was the new
tweed sack suit shown on the English chart.
1t was cut to a point below the hips, supplied
with a breast and two side pockets, put
on at an angle and has narrow set or cuffs
OF the material. None Of these summer
suits has regular turned back cuffs, as the
material is too thin to wear for more than
a very short time. This particular coat
had three buttons at the sleeve.
1t was the collar, however, that was it's
most distinguishing feature. Practically
there was only one button on the front
of the coat, where under ordinary circum-
stances there should have been three. The
single button used was at the bottom Of
the coat. The sides Of the coat were so
turned pack from this button as to form a
roll collar of the kind used on dinner jackets.
The lapels were not pressed at any point.
They were simply turned back from the
collar and fell away in a loose roll down
TO the single button. There were no other
button holes on the long roll collar. 1t
was simply intended to be caught at the
bottom and thrown back on each side.
The coat front, below the single button,

the fact that each leaf stem catches and
holds sufficient water to slakc a travellers
thirst.
The TALBOT palm attracts the attention
of all visitors, not only because its leaves
formed the parchment for tho early books
Of Buddhism, but because it flowers ONLY
once, and then, as if exhausted by its half
oentury's effort, dies. The sensitive plant
grows wild here and seems almost human
in its perception, at it shrinks from the
ali ghtest touch and folds its leaves as if
withered.
l nave already spoken of the fruits OF
the tropics, especially those of Java, but |
think | ought to qualify my words. Since
revealing in mangosteens, Iambutans, &c,
i have eaten an apple, and am convinced
tina no tropical fruit can compare with
it; and when to the apple are added the
peach. the pear, the plum and the cherry,
and to these fruits of the tree are added
the grape. the stra wDerry, the raspberry
and the blackberry, not to speak of the
p%ineapples, oranges and bananas Of our
Southern States. who will say that the
temperate zone is not as highly favored
as the warmer lands?
TORRENTS OF ME TROPICS.
We not only have an abundance Of both
the necessaries and the Injuries, but we
escape some of the torments of the tropics.
Animals, reptiles and insects run riot here.
The tiger is man-eating, the serpents are
large and poisonous and the insects are
omnipresent.
We sometimes complain at home Of the
mosquito, which seems to be Il universal
pest and is found everywhere from Green

smoke by his royal mamma, and no doubt
he is very proud of the accomplishment.
His mouth is open in a surprised sort OF
way. Maybe n daring photograph man
bobbed suddenly up among the PUSHES and
sedges and snapped him before he knew
what was toward.
From the looks Of the gallant Spanish
soldier near 10y one wouldn't want to be
tint photograph man, would one? Down
in the field is another soldier, a captain or
a colonel, or something from the look of
him with medals on his breast. All Spanish
soldiers wear medals on their breasts.
The King, however, looks free and easy
and democratic, which is pretty much the
reputation the young man has, despite the
Bourbon in him. He is a fair shot with
small game, and he is the possessor Of
enormous preserves, which are maintained
and tended carefully.

Times That Now.
Father Knickerbocker has been very
successful with all his real estate ventures
but never more 90 than in the case Of Gem
trial Park. Less than half a century ago
the present Central Park was a waste of
rocks and swamps. The city Of New York
obtained control Of the territory and issued
bonds to the amount Of 81 5000 900 for the
acquisition OF the land. Bonds to the
amount Of 81 oo, 900 were issued at the
same tim for the improvement OF the Cen:
trial Park. AS this Improvement progressed
other bonds Tor 81, 725 600, known as Cen.
trail Park bonds" were issued, and still
more were sold for the building Of the
arsenal in the Central Park and. for the
reservoir there, bringing up the total
amount Of cost to the city Of the Central
Park to S12, 500, 900.
That was the first cost and an addi-
tioral sumof 81, 500, 600 has been expendedfor
construction and improvement OF the Metro.
politan Museum Of Art, the 10th street and
Eighth avenue entrance and sundry park
buildings. In all SIS, 900 900 has been eX-
pended by the people Of New York for the
acquisition and improvement OF Central
Park. The assessed value Of the land in
Guided within the boundaries Of Contra
Park is now S1ss ,00o, 900. As a matter Of
fact the land included within Central Park
is probably worth $500, 900 ,00G.

Almost any day the peasants in the field
may see the President, in velveteens, boots
and a SLOUGH hat. a CUR slung over his
shoulder, making for the game preserves
Of his or a neighboring estate. Behind him
walks the inevitable soldier, detailed to see
that the President in potting the small
birds Of the country is not himself potted
by a Red.
NJ. Fallieres is of simple and unostenta-
tious habits, but he cannot do away with or
get away from the soldier who dogs bis
footsteps on these little excursions. Preai-
dent Fallieres likes to hunt by himself, but
occasionally he gives a hunting party.
Ceremony and etiquette are dropped as
much as possible. but there always re-
mains the soldier, or several Of him, 10 follow
and watch and guard, maybe to laugh in
his sleeve when his master bangs away
and misses.

If the rulers Of Europe were to form a
sportsmen's club Clement Armand Fall
Heres, President of France, would be adj
mitted as a member in good standing. M.
Faliieres is not particularly well known as
a sportsman, because he has been too busy
making laws and money to shoot as much
as he would have liked, but he is known as
"a capital shot and the best Of good fellows
on a hunting expedition.
He hunts for two reasons, because he
likesth sport and because it is an excellent
way to take off fat, Of which NJ. Falliares
has an overabundanoe. During the sum-
mer, when his duties as Executive of the
French nation do not require his presence
in Paris, NJ. Fallieres retires to his country
house at Loupillon, near Nerac, where he is
a great local favorite.

Alfonso KILL, King Of Spain, who is soon
to be married to an English Princess, Ena
of Battenberg, is the newest recruit to the
Royal Sportsmen's Club. 1t wasn't so long
ago that Alfonso was playing with toy
guns, pretending, maybe, that he was
potting hnretics as his ancestors used TO
do in the good old days before the printing
press and Martin Luther turned things
upside down; but he is quite q husky young
man and has become an enthusiastic sports
man.
OF all the sovereigns Of Europe who like
to throw a gun in the crook of their arms
and go out to sniff the good, clean air. the
young King Of Spain is the most hedged
about and pestered by formality, etiquette,
tradition and custom. In this picture you
ses the youthful sovereign resting a bit
and just ready to light his pipe. 1t wasn't
30 very long ago that he was first allowed to

In his time he has closed with a bear
and killed it with a knife. He is not the
one to take undue advantage Of game.
He goes in with the dogs and takes it rough
and tumble, delighted to the heart of him
with the pure sport Of the tussle.
President Roosevelt OF a hunting trip
vacation is like a small boy let out Of school.
He is impatient to be at it, and he wants no
fuss n feathers and as little formality as
may be. He is a capital companion on a
hunting expedition and he has a way OF
winning the heart Of the most grabbed old
guide or Western plainsman.
His companions in the picture shown
above are Philip Battell Stewart at the left
Of the picture, and DR.. Lambert in the
centre. Mr. Stewart is q lawyer Of Colo
RADIO Springs. Or. Lambert IL a physician
Of this city who has had the health Of the
yRoossvelt children in his charge.
