of mankind. The childrace-not a
half bestial race. The distinction is
shown very clearly when one regards
as whole the characteristics of the
pigmy races. They are entirely men,
but undeveloped men. Their mind is
a human, a thinking mind; they pos
sess human feeling, and distinct eth
ical will
Their intellectual attainments are
very low, but they are capable of re-
spending to demands made upon them.
One of the greatest inventions of man
in the hunter stag-the bow and ar
rows, according to DR.. Schmidt, to
be attributed to them. In physical in
dications there are, of course, many
marks of a non-human ancestry, but
the upright or projecting forehead and
the frequently large and expressive
eyes mark a distinction which cannot
be overlooked.

THE SIZE OF THE OCEAN.

An officer of liner once remarked
that most men seemed to be as ig-
norant about the size of the sea as
they are of the distance between the
heavenly planets. Here are a few
facts: The Pacific covers $4,000, 900
miles; the Atlantic 3O,o00,OOO, and the
Indian ocean, Arctic and Antarctic
100000. To stow away the contents
of the Pacific it would be necessary
to fill a tank one mile long, one mile
wide and one mile deep every day for
440 years. Put in figures, the Pacific
holds In weight 94S,0OO 900, OOO, O0O,-
100000 tons. The Atlantic averages
depth of not quite three. miles. It's
waters weigh S25,000,000, 1000, 00O,0 0O,-
900 tons, and tank to contain it
would have each of its sides 430 miles
long. The figures of the other oceans
are in the same startling proportions
It would take all the sea water in the
world 100000 years to flow over the
Niagara

The Great Art of Dying.

The Great Art OF Dying.
To die without rebellion and without
weakness is the masterpiece Of man
A mountain guide-whose name the
London Daily News does not mention
in narrating the story of his heroism-
with two others, was leading party
over one Of the most dangerous passes
of the higher Alps.
The men, as Is usual, were tied to
gether by long rope AS they scaled
wall of ice they slipped on the
edge Of frightful chasm. The guide
was at the end of the rope.
Without his weight there was a
chance for the others to regain their
footing; with it, his experienced eye
told him, there was none. With in
slant courage he drew his knife from
his belt and said quietly to the man
next him:
Tell mother how it happened, Ed
mond"
He cut the rope and fell, never to be
seen again.

CHINESE STRUGGLED IN CASKS

The agents OF the government are
kept busy trying to prevent the SNUG.
Cling of Cinnamon into the United
States, and they find that the persons
who make business of bringing in
the forbidden Orientals are as fertile
in devices as are those who attempt
to smuggle other contraband goods,
One of the latest schemes to be dis
covered involves the use of casks In
which the Cinnamon are set afloat, to
be picked up later and hauled ashore
at points that are not being guarded.

Mrs. Roosevelt is said to have kept

BENEFIT OF A FAIR.

This year Oxford held its first coun-
ty fair. which was most complete
success. The exhibits were many, and
Oxford welcomed thousands Of visitors
within her gates during the brief two
days. Some of our people have been
agitating the matter of holding a
county fair in Durham next year, 1t
is a wise idea and some definite action
should be taken looking into this for
next fall.
While many OF the merchants have
complained of the fair In Raleigh last
week, followed here by circus day,
yet We must remember that North Car
olina needs a state fair TO encourage
all. 1t is further good lesson to us.
as by means of fair we would natur-
ally attract many persons TO Durham
and get them interested in this city.
The benefits are many, first in show
ing to the world the progress that
this county is making agriculturaliy
and industrially; second it gives to
every town much free but excellent
advertising, and lastly it draws the
people in our county closer together,
forming tie that will mean much in
our future progress. When all Of
these are considered, in the proper
light, the men of Durham and Durham
county should find the mans to an
nounce that the first Durham fair will
be held in 1912.
