Just returned from South Africa. II
was one day so annoyed by mosquitoes
that was compelled to take refuge in
an old iron safe which lay discarded
on the veldt.
"My first emotions of joy at my
happy deliverance were hardly over
when the mosquitoes, seeming me, be-
gan to drive their stingers through
the safe. Fortunately, had ham,
mer in my pocket, and as fast as their
stingers came through the iron I
clinched them, until at length such
a host Of them was fastened down in
this way that, when they started to

Leonar*p da Vinci Was Prolific.

Although Leonardo da Vinci was a
voluminous writer, he never publish
ed a single line during his lifetime.
Only within thp last thirty years have
his writings been made known to the
world. After the masters death in
France his manuscripts were brought
back to Italy. His heirs proved un-
worthy, and the precious writings
were gradually dispersed. Loose
pages were often detached, and were
either given away as relics or stolen.
No attempt was made to publish any
of his treatises except that on paint
ing, for more than three hundred
years after his death. This was part
ly owing to the great difficulty of de.
ciphering his handwriting. Da Vinci
was left-handed, and always wrote in
oriental fashion from right to left. Be
sides this, his photography is peculiar
to himself; he abbreviates some
words and joins others together AMI
employs neither stops nor accents.
