THE NILE
1t Is of Lovely Sameness Every
where

R. Kitchens in the Century.
Some people talk of the "sameness'
of the Nile; and there is lovely same
ness of golden light. of delicious air of
people and, and of scenery. For Egypt
is, after all, mainly a great river with
on each side of cultivated land, fiat,
green, not very varied. River, green
plains, yellow plains, pink, brown, steel
gray, or pale yellow mountains, wall
of shadoff wall of sakieh. Yes, I sup
pose there is a sameness, a sort of gol-
den monotony, in this land pervaded
with light and pervaded with sound.
Always there is light around you, and
you are bathing in it, and nearly al
ways, if you are living. as was on the
water, there is a multitude of ming
ling sounds floating, floating to your
ears. AS there are two lines of green
land, two lines of mountains following
the course of the Nile, so are there two
lines of voices that cease their calling
and their singing only as you draw
near to Nubia.
For then, with the green land, they
fade away, these miles upon miles of
calling and singing brown men; and
amber and ruddy sands creeping down.
ward to the Nile And the air seems
subtly changing, and the light perhaps
growing little harder. And you are
aware of other regions unlike those
those you are leaving, more African,
more savage, less suave, less like a
dreaming. And especially the silence
makes great impression on you. But
before you enter this silence, between
the amber and rudy walls that will
lead you to Nubia and to the land of
the crocodile, you have a visit to pay.
For here, high up on a terrace, Is Kom
Omoos. And Kom Ombos is the tenn
pie of the crocodile god.

n1ngs Bryan. who, as rule, is somewhat
somber. conf1ded to a democratic lawyer
VINO is well known on Broadway a legal
anecdote. 1t is here repeated In Mr..
Bryans own words:
once out in Nebraska l went to pro-
test against my real estate assessment.
and one of the things of which I par
ticularly complained was assessing a goat
at $S. I claimed that a goat was not
rear property in the legal sense of the
word, and should not be assessed One
OF the assessors, a very pleasant-faced
old man. very obligingly said that l could
go upstairs with him and together we
would look over the rules and regula-
lions and see what could be DONE
I'VE looked over the rules and finally
the old man asked Does your goat run
loose on the roadsT
well, sometimes" said I. wondering
what the penalty was for the dreadful
offense.
Does he butt?' again queried the old
man.
Yes answered, he butts
Well said the old man, looking at
me- this rule says tax all that certain
property running and abutting on the
highway. I don't see that I can do any
thing for you. Good day, sir i"

life,s Dav.

The time that has elapsed since the
first appearance of life on earth has
been variously estimated at 100000
600 to 2000O0.000 years. To tax our
powers of comprehension as little as
possible Dr. FL. Schmidt of Jena has
taken the shortest estimate and has
tried to make understandable the five
great evolutionary periods through
which life has passed by comparing
them with a day of twenty-four hours
This is the result: The archeozoic pc
Rod (52OO0.O00 years. is represented
by II hours 80 minutes; paleozoic GA
100000 years.. hours Z minutes;
mesozoic (11.O00.000 years., 2 hours IS
minutes: cenozoic 100000 years.. Is
minutes; anthropozoic 100000 years..
2 minutes. If the last period. the age
of man. be compared in it's subdivi-
sions by the same scale it is found
that the historic portion covers only
5 seconds, and 2 seconds are sutfi-
cient for the Christian era. 1t seems
incredible. but the evidence is con
vincing that this does not exaggerate
the time relations of our written rec
oFds with the records of the rocks.

Of himself to lady living in another
part of the city, tells Ell. Addington
Bruce in Success Magazine. For about
ten minutes he endeavored in thought
to appear TO her. At the end of that
time he fell asleep,
About four hours later the lady on
whom he had been "exerting his will
awoke with an impression that she
had heard a curious sound. She felt
nervous and uneasy and thought that
if she went downstairs and took a
drink of soda water it might have a
quieting effect.
Coming back. she was astounded to
see the form of Mr.. Godfrey standing
on the staircase He remained stand
ing there for three or four seconds,
while she stared at him in mortified
amazement. Then as she approached
the staircase he disappeared.
