When You Don't See II.

patiently to instill ray of light into
her mind on the subject, finally sue
ceeded in getting some good examples
from the child which would seem to
prove that the difference was at last
recognized and appreciated. The
teacher paused for moment and de-
manded of the child correct explana-
tion of the difference as she saw it.
The girl answered beamingly. She
was sure of herself. but 1t took some
thinking to express just what she
wanted to say. However. after much
inward tumult and obvious effort. the
following statement was heard:

well, 1t is fact. A queen bee can
hypnotise her whole hive whenever
she wants to. She makes a curious
humming sound, and within moment

Into a hypnotic trance.
"The death's-head hawk-moth is also
a hypnotist of great power. This
creature, indeed. makes its living out
of hypnotism. Entering a hive, it
makes a sound not unlike the queen
bees note, and, the bees Immediately

Willy NATIVE KING
HAS PROVED MATCH FOR AvARI-
cIous WHITE MAN.
Indian Monarch Of the Mosquito Coast
Of Nicaragua Both Far-seeIng
and Wise - Refuses to
Grant Concessions.

Dr. L. E. Flanagan, a former citizen
of Charlottesville, Va. but who has
for the last five years been living at
Cape Gracia. an important town on
the east coast OF Nicaragua, is at the
Belvedere, says the Baltimore Ameri-
can. The doctor is a friend OF Gen.
Zelaya, president Of the republic OF
Nicaragua, and has been honored by
him with several important Offices.
There is probably no richer coun-
try In the world than Nicaragua" said
DR. Flanagan. "It is, however, almost
In a virgin state, as there has been
scarcely any development OF its great
resources. President Zelaya. the able
and energetic chief executive, Is CIV
Ing the country a most excellent ad-
ministration and enjoys the absolute
confidence of the people. The natives
OF the Mosquito coast, as my section
is called, are known as Mosco. or
sambo Indians. and are queer mix
ture of Indian, negro and Caucasian
elements. with the native Indian type
predominating. though most of them
show their strain of African blood by
kinkiness of the hair, while others
are fair-haired and light of skin, as
reminder of Scotch buccaneer progen-
itors Not one in fifty of these Sambos
ever slept in bed and not more than
one in five ever handles a piece of
money. The older members of the
family sleep In hammocks woven from
the fbers of the hennequin or the
banana stalk, while the Juveniles curl
up on the floor. They are about as
near to nature as any people under
the sun, for nature supplies them
with everything necessary to sustain
life.
These Sambos are nominally under
the Nicaraguan government, 1t Is true,
but they pay direct allegiance to a
king, monarch of their own tribe.
His authority extends over many vii
lagos and settlements, embracing
coast line of $50 miles, and he is by
no means a figurehead TO. in periodi-
cal revolutions he often holds the bal
ance of power a7d dictates terms to
the contending leaders. The Mosquito
coast is the most backward, CONNER
cially and industrially. of all the re-
gions bordering on the Caribbean, and
for this the Sambo king is directly re-
sponsible. He is shrewd enough to
know that wherever the white man
gets a footing the native soon van
ishes and therefore has he refused
the granting of concessions for the
exploitation of the valuable forests of
his kingdom, nor will he allow his
subjects to sell their lands. Thus this
willy Indian ruler, who can't write his
name. has managed to hold his terri
tory in Its primal state against the
avaricious schemes of the white man.
His people obey him unquestionably
and the general government is con-
tent to let him alone"
