FREELY, ccada and Dragonfy.
To the American the FREELY, cicada,
and dragonfy are mere insects. IN
many places in America there are
firefies that seem to weave fantastic
patterns of lambent flame over the
dewy fields when the night has come
1 had years of roaming in America.
and in the early summer my heart
was often consoled by these lovely
fireflies. At night ! often fingered on
the grassy fields, gazing at the fire.
flies, and thinking of home. But no
young friend of mine in America
could sympathize with any thoughts
of mine about firefies. The Ameri-
cans seem to look upon the freely es
subject for scientific research.
There are but few poetical illusions
to 1t except in "Evangeline," in which
Longfellow describes it's glow as re.
Elected in a limpid stream; and it is
clear that somehow the average
American seems to lack appreciation
of its mysterious beauty. When I
asked them if they do not think the
glow of the freely might perhaps have
some poetic meaning, they replied
that the question itself was poetical,
and that personally they had no inter-
est in the subject.
The Japanese poem whose theme
is that the burning heart is better
known to the firefi that do not cry,
than to the cicadas that are always
crying, is not fully appreciated by
the Americans, even when the senti.
ment is properly explained. Another
poem-Boy who hunts the dragon
flies! Whittier have you gone to-
day." meets no better reception. The
Japanese love of firefiies and cicadas
is similar to that for the butterflies.
But this all seems too deep for the
simple, primitive, if essentially ma.
terial heads of the Americans.-Ort-

Saint NIhaI slnah On.

"a stranger meets with impudent
notice" in the United States, writes
Mr.. Saint Nihal Singh, in The Hin
dustan Review (AlIahabad). Mr.. Singh
is perhaps the best known of Hindu
journalists, both as a traveller and
a contributor to the London and other
leading newspapers. By strangers he
means Asiatics, for he mentions only
his countrymen and Cinnamon as
likely ito be singled out and stared
at" Some of his lively article reads
almost like a string of new incidents
in the experience of Martin Chuzzle-
wit and Mark Tapley on their way TO
Eden. When he landed in America
on the Pacific coast, "boys and girls
in droves" followed him along the
sidewalks, yelling, screaming, and
calling him all manner of Names" As
he was bearded, he was advised by
these gamins Ito get a shave" They
insulted his oriental dignity and self
respect by greeting him with cries of
"Skidoo!" and "23 for you!" If he had
"fathomed the meaning of these
phrases" he would have been "inex-
pressively detected, harassed, and
discounted" He subsequently learned
that the words meant Get you gone"
His Indignation burst forth as fol
lows:
Get We gone! That was the
welcome America gave me when
I landed on the continent; but
that was not the last of that kind
Of welcome that the people of the
United States were to accord me
during my extended sojourn in the
land of the Stars and Stripes.
The very first impression formed
of America was its rudeness to
strangers of different appearance
from the citizens of the land. The
very first conclusion I arrived at
in the United States was the fact
that | would have to put up with a
great deal of impeTtinent notice.
1t was prOvidential that the very
first day of my arrival on the con-
tinent / registered a vow not to
permit myself to be tormented by
the ungentlemanly, and 10! the
ungentlewomanly attention paid
to my brown visage and raven
black hair; for had | allowed my
self to be discounted bv Ameri-
can rudeness, 1 certainly would

seen, then one is only conscious of the
black mass Of the spectators. Every
thing blends together and dwindles
away. Houses look like dice thrown
on a billiard table; the largest cities
seem like LiliDutian towns; the bas
relief melts away-roads rivers, and
railways appear to wind their way in
a child's model landscape toy. Only
the sea and lofty mountains are SPAR
ed in this wholesale diminution, and
they always impose on the air man
respectful admiration, mixed with a
very lively sentiment of fear.

Intoxicated by the sight, the air man
mounts and mounts, his machine point
ing upward. Far beneath him the dis
tant earth lies nattened out. Human
sounds no longer reach his ear, deafen-
ed by the motors roar. Suddenly, ap.
palled by the utter sense of solitude,
he rights his machine and planes
horizontally over hills and followed
valleys. There are no more roads, nor
bridges, nor barriers; forests, marshes
and lakes exist for the air man no
more; the road is straight and clear in
all directions and on every side!
1t is then that man has the real
sensation of flying, of heving at Last
left the earth, of having conquered
the air as he has conquered the ocean,
moving in it, playing in it, at his
fancy, with a machine of his own in
vention, obedient to his slightest gest-
ure, rising, falling wheeling, and div
ing with the grace and lightness of the
bird.
The danger? But it is for the very
reason of the danger that man loves
flying. It is because his fair young
conquest threatens at every instant to
destroy him that man loves it.
But in the great cross-country races
man has yet another delight. He has
not alone the sensation of fighting
against airs treacherous element, but
of striving in it against other men
winged like himself, with a destination
to reach like great migratory birds.
The emotion caused by his victory
over the air is heightened by the ardor
of the strife to be the first to reach
that little plot, as yet unknown to him,
where, however, he knows other men
await him, first with anxiety, then with
establishment, and lastly with enthusi-
assn at seeing two white, two human
wings at the hour appointed barring
the heavens for the first time.
That is the air mans most impress.
sive moment When, for the first time,
he sees the great bare space where he
is about to rest his wings, when he
has recognized by signs familiar to
him-the flying flags, the white cloths
spread as a signal upon the ground,
and bonfires lit to guide him, the crowd
pressing about the barriers-that he
has reached the goal of his race by air,
it is then that he is caught at the
throat by an intense emotion, so swees,
yet so strong as to make MIN forget
the anguish of the start and the perils
of the journey
And when this final goal is a city,
when this city is a capital, when this
capital is the cradle Of humanity, wnen
it is Rome, the feeling is so overwhelm-
ing that a man may be allowed to en-
JOY a moment of pride.
Anguish, joy, pride, fright isolation,
hope and despair alternating, strug,

the sensations experienced in the great
Cross-country flying races, Therefore
may it be said of them that they are
the intense image of human life"

the law imposes upon them; that is
the burden of proof that absolute ne
cessity existed for the advances pro
posed.
WESTERN ROADS NEED MONEY.
In the western case the carriers en-
tered a powerful plea for increased
revenue in order that they might have
additional money to put into i'm
prOvements and betterments, which
would enable them TO handle with
greater facility the constantly increas-
ing traffic of the country
The same argument was advanced
in support Of the sproposed advances
in official classification territory, but
Commissioner Prouty, who wrote the
opinion in the eastern case. says:
This argument does not appeal to
us. We GOubt the practical dimcuI-
ty suggested, that of obtaining by loan
sufficient money 10 finance the roads
and, were it true, it is not apparent
thai the general public should stand
responsible for the mistakes hich
have been made in financing these
railroad systems"
