To the eastern traveller the statue
of Buddha is a familiar sight. From
Colombo in Ceylon, to Kobe, in Japan,
he is everywhere greeted by the same
calm, impressive and mysterious face
of the eastern preceptor of perfection.
But in no city in the Orient do the
form and face of Buddha constitute
SO frequent or so essential a part Of
the city's decoration as in Rangoon,
the starting place Of Mr.. Kipling's
famous Road to Mandalay," the
stronghold Of Buddhists. Notable even
among the countless statues Of Ran
coon is the mammoth Buddha, repre-
senting the strange teacher, not stand

majority of statues, but reclining on
a huge raised coach, his mighty form
stretched out for 200 feet, while his

working to aid the blind to overcome
their handicap and to make their

provide a means for the blind women
known to the association to meet and
"see" one another, talk over the mu-

that arose from the matters in hand.

nance as ever was dreamed of by a
writer Of fiction. The legal tender,
which bore a message of despair writ
ten on its face, fell into the owners
hands after fifteen years of wander
ing through the west and the gold
fields of Alaska.
The man who had written the mes
sage was Roy Denton, native OF
New York state, who fifteen years ago
went west to find his fortune. Bad
luck followed his undertakings and
sickness followed. He spent his last
dollar for medicine, and in his dis
heartened condition he wrote on its

The medicine did not give the de-

Of mind, being without funds or
friends, he wandered down to the bay,
with the intention of ending his life.
On the way to the wharf he was dis
covered by a former schoolmate, to
whom he confided his troubles. The
meeting resulted in Denton changing
his mind, and the following week the
two schoolmates started for Nome,
Alaska, where Denton took a claim
which yielded him a fortune.
For the last three years he has been
travelling in the orient, returning to
America last month, and was on his
way to his old home. He stopped off
in Chicago between trains and ac-
companied by friend, went to local
theater.
He gave five-dollar bill in payment
for two seats and received in return
two one-dollar bills. AS the money
reached his hands, Alfred S. Witsen'
hansen, the ticket seller, noticed the
man scrutinizing the bill, turning v1si-

he revealed the story Of his bad luck

HEROES ARE NOT PENSIONED
This Is One of the Forbidden Features
of the Business of Life
Saving.

Boston, Mass.-Few persons know
much about the life savers stationed
at dangerous points along the Atlantic
coast What they do, how they live,
what sort of men they are. In the
first place they are obscurely living
fellows, in the second they attract no
tice only rarely by some heroic deed.
And even in this bushes the chances
for heroic deeds come seldom.
The life saving service pays poor
ly, judged by most standards Sixty
five dollars a month for ten months is
the pay of every life saver or surfman,
as he properly Is called, except the
keeper, who gets SIS, and surfman No.
l, who gets $40.
There are no pensions. Even the
man who is crippled for life in the
work Is not entitled to pension.
There is at least one case on record
in which such a man was pensioned,
but 1t was through the special interest
and command Of a president Of the
United States.
Not to be pensioned for disability is
the most forbidding thing about the
life saving service which, by the way,
got started under the direction of the
treasury department and has been
under it ever since. This has kept
more men away from 1t than any other
one thing. 1t argues no lack of cour-
age in a man that he hesitates a long
time over this condition, especially If
he has others to provide for.

DISCARD FISH yARNS|
They Are Deaf, Dumb and Nearly
Blind, Says Professor.
Brains Are Comparatively Small and
Old Stories Must BE Regarded aa
Merely alphabetically Does
Not Think at All.

London.-All the popular notions
about fishes are exploded by Profess
sor Harold Russell. the zoologist. He
announces, after series Of expert
ments, that fishes are deaf, dumb and
practically color blind. They cannot
cry, much less shed tears, as many
generations of comic artists would
have the public believe.
The old stories of fish which came
to be fed when called or when a bell
was rung must now be regarded as
mythical. All that the fish possesses
is a rudimentary inner ear, and it is
modified part Of the socalled lateral
line the most mysterious thing in
fishes. BY taking the calcarious stones
out Of the ears of fish, the fish lose all
sense Of equilibrium and roll about
as if crazy.
The brains of fishes, says Professor
Russell, are comparatively small,
though the parts and the general po-
s1tiOn Of the nerves correspond with
those Of monkeys and mankind. In
trout the brain does not half fill the
cerebral cavity, the roof of the space
being occupied by q greasy fluid.
In the front of a fsh's brain are the
olfactory lobes, from which the nerves
OF smell issue. Behind these lobes
are the cerebrum, the thinking part,
very small and insignificant The
trout has no cerebra cortex Or think
box" Behind the cerebrum are the
optic lobes. into which run the nerves
from the eye. Lastly comes the cere-
bellum, which controls the power of
movement
Discussing these and other curious
features Of fish life in the Natural Re-
view. Professor Russell says a fish
really does not think at all, but acts
by refeXes. A message is sent in
ward to the brain, and the muscles at
bnce contract Sensations are changed
into movements, and actions take
place without thinking. Reflex actions
are, therefore. Immediately suggested
and directed by the influence of ex-
ternal things
a fish is thus an impressionist. Fear
and anger are its chief emotions, and
the search for food and for mate
chiefly occupies it's activities.
Most fishes hunt their food by sight
alone, though the cells depend solely
on their sense of smell. The structure
Of a fish's eye does not essentially
differ from that of q human eye. A
trout has no eyelids and sleeps with
its eyes open. Fishes have no tear
glands. Their vision Is poor. AS a
rule, fishes are short-sighted. The
fish's eye is at rest when regarding
something close at hand. A mans eye
is at rest when it is directed to some
far-away object such as star.
How little taste or smell is pos
sessed by fishes is shown by expert
ments on a conger eel in an aquarium.

with ague would visit at dead of night
the nearest crossroad five different

the disease would be buried. If the
