TIL position OF literary men in ia.

ut prominence in the western world.
writes Paul :. Reinsch In the North
American Review. The individuality
OF literary fame and literary person.
atty in its various aspects have not
been developed b the orient to nearly
the same extent as In the west. The
great books to which men return again
and again for guidance and inspiration
have been written thousands of years.
and those MEN who earned fame there
after won their laurels by writing com.
menturies upon the classics. No merit
attached to originality. Moreover.
most writings were anonymous Es-
pecially If they We're original was it
advisable that the author should not
make his personality too prominent
While learning was always respected
authorship never had the position in
Japan and other oriental countries
that 1t has enjoyed in the west from
the Greeks down to the present.
The Japanese mind will excel in the
future in many directions. but the
greatest development may be expected
in those activities for which racial
and social experience has best prcpar,
ed the intellect. A strong but selective
realism IN literature, delicate word
painting. the successful search for
mastery over the forces of nature. a
grasp of social and political relation

may expect from the Japan of the

Interesting tests were recently made
to determine the respective pulling
power of horses. men and elephants.
Two horses weighing 16OO pounds
each together pulled $3.50 pounds, or
$50 pounds more than their combined
weight. One elephant weighing 1900
pounds pulled $3.50 pounds. or $3.50
pounds less than Its weight. Fifty
men. aggregating 1900 pounds in
weight, pulled $3.50 pounds, or Just as
much as the single elephant; but, like
the horses, they pulled more than their
own weight One hundred men pulled
10000 pounds.
