greater pluck, but because he pos sesses something of the capG>>ity to withstand fatigue shown by the lower animals. If such man were educated, if his mind were brought up to the standard where the nerves would have full play in competition with others, where he would think and worry as he ran along, it is probable that his en- durance would be seriously impaired.
 There is much the Indian could be taught in the way of running so as to save himself-for instance, he chops his stride badly. But even that might change Longboat's whole capacity. He is marvellous running machine as he is now, and any attempt to improve or alter his own natural methods might only result in spelling the machine.
 Two Types of Perfection.
 In any trial of skill or speed requir- ing alertness, brain work, the sudden application of all the athletes powers, the Gould type of man would be vastly superior to the Longboat athlete. Ner- vous energy would be drawn upon, the quick response of body to the will of the mind would land the higher type of man a victor. But in any event where stolid patience and ability to stand grueling punishment without ap- bearing to feel it were required, the Longboat type of athlete would be found invincible.
 Gould lives amid the surroundings which only great wealth can procure. Longboat pounds nails with hammer in box factory in Toronto, Can. He knows enough not to hit his thumb.
 Gould has acquired the persistence his grandfather had to such marked extent. Longboat has the endurance which his copper-skinned forefathers possessed. Each is a striking example of the transmission of characteristics. Each is about as near perfection in his own branch as humanity can approach.

may not appear so at first, Is literally
true The fish had all over Its body a
soft, dark brown fur and the Indians,
fearing that this portended some great

to praying.
It may be that in al the experiece Of
the aboriglnes they had mover seen or

rience with fish IS. new 1t is therefore
incredible. New things are happening IN
