Teachers in Atlanta Schools to
Tell Children of Noted
Author Monday.
By Dudley Glass

If the West End children who skate
and run and laugh before the shadiest
yard in Gordon street were to hurry and
be dressed before breakfast next Monday
and steal softly up the terraced lawn and
around behind the wistaria vines they
might see-if they had not lost their
children's visions and begun to have the
eyes of little grown folks-they might see
a strange, misty pageant, like little bits
Of cloud blown by a breeze just where
the sunshine melts into the shadow Of the
old frame house.
II they kept perfectly still and be-
lieved in the things their mothers taught
them and didn't think Santa Claus was
all a story, they might see Brer Rabbit
and the Tar Baby and Brer Fox and a
whole story book full of queer folk dane
ing on the lawn.
And they might see MI Man and Old
Mis- Meaders and her daughters joining
in the dance, while Aunt Minervy Ann
and Uncle Billy Sanders. the Sage of
Shady Dale, looked on and smiled.
The Old, Old Negro Man.
And right in the center Of the sun
shine they might see an old, old negro
man, with grizzly gray whiskers and a
shiny bald head and a crooked cane. hold
ing by the hand wide eyed little boy
And the old. old negro would be Uncle
Remus-the real Uncle Remus, who told
the stories to the little boy which other
little boys and girls have heard ever since
their papaS and mammaS were little boys
and little girls themselves. But they
would have to see with children's eyes
You can see anything. you know, il you'll
only believe hard enough.
For next Monday is Uncle Remus
birthday Not the really, truly Uncle Re-
mus, you know, but Joel Chandler Har-
ris, the quiet, soft-voiced man, with the
big black hat and the twinkle in his
eyes, who used to live in the old house
up the long walk, and who wrote so many
stories about the good old negro and the
little boy that everybody began to call
him Uncle Remus when they didn't for
get and call him Brer Rabbit
And they say that on every one Of his
birthdays the animal people and all the
other queer folk he made wake up at
dawn and climb out of the books In the
old bookcase In the study and come
trooping out TO the lawn to dance and

Feeling that the utterances Of Blease
in the presence Of women, such as those
who had just left the convention hall,
was a reflection on Southern chivaIry,
Governor Albert w. Gilchrist, Of F1ori-

Imam to task for his profane speech
and lack of consideration of those pres
ent. He was applauded as he declared
THE first thing that indicates a
manly man or womanly woman is
thoughtful consideration for other PEG

The incident came about when Gov
ernor Joseph n. Carey. of Wyoming,
asked if Governor Blease had not taken
an oath to uphold the constitution and
laws of his state and IL these laws did
not protect negroes as well as whites.

A Reader's Notes.

DR.. H. Ahlenstiehl makes the as
tonishing statement that mankind ia
fast losing its sense OF smell, the
curious degeneration Of this sense
apparently being one of the penal
ties of civilization. The reasons for
this are greatly diversified and Of
somewhat contradictory nature.
When life was simpler than now
there were not nearly as many diff
ferent odors as now, and the odore
of past ages were delicate and evan.
escent compared to the doors OF to-
day. Hundreds of people today are
utterly Indifferent to the perfume Of
flowers, and in many instances they
have lost the power to sense the
flowers fragrance because the
stronger odors OF up-to-date life arti-
6cially produced by new chemical
Inventions have deadened their fac
ulty for percelving the more elusive
odors of nature. Our grandfathers
had hundred diffebent doors,
whereas we have thousands Of
odors, all of them incidental to our
more complex civilization, and all
of them strong. Compare the fra
GRANGE of the lily Of the valley with
the smell OF gasoline or the smell Of
carbolic acid andiodoform. Persons
Of the older generation loath the
automobile" and the hospital
smells and are rayished by the per-
fume of the lily of the valley. Yet
there are thousands of young per-
sons who would sniff and sniff in a
ain effort to sense the fragrance o.
the flower, but who, on the contrary,
not merely do not dislike the sInel
of gasoline and iodoform, but actual
ly enjoy it, these two odOrs being sc
strong that none whose sense
smell is not positively atrophied can
escape perceiving them. There Is
further reason for our inability to
detect lesser odors. We do not need
% perceive them as men and women
formerly needed them, in order t.
maintain our footing in the struggle
for existence Humboldt, in his
"Kosmos," tells of a race of Peru
Wan Indians who were able to track
their game by the scent quite as
we'll as dogs, and the physicians 0.

and consumption each exuding an
odOr pertain.n gto that particular
disease AS the symptoms Of some
diseases in the incipient stages art
similar or identical, the method o
making final diagnosis by means
of the sense of smell was generally
practlced throughout Europe in the
so-called Middle Ages. AS medical
science was at very low stage Of
development at that time, this test,
grotesque and unscientiflc as it now
appears TO the veries lay mind, was

became obsolete and is now all but
forgotten. No medical practitioner
Of today would be able to tell a

sound and sight are the more Inn
portant senses that make the protec-
ton against injury Primeyal man
could not always see or hear a beast
OF prey. He relied upon his nose as
the only trustworthy organ to warn
him Of the brute's approach. DR..
Ahlenstiehl points to the fact that
even OF such individuals who are
able to easily distinguish simple
odors very few are able to distin-
gnish complex odors. A man may bt
able to tell the smell Of onions, but
the same man in all probability will
not be able to tell the ingredients
OF an odor In which onions and
phosphorus blend. The eye, how
ever, carefully trained throughout
the centuries, is able at a glance to
tell apart not only individual colors,
but groups of colors and varying
forms and designs. In this sense thu
history of the sense on smell is re-
versed. The highly cultured ancien
Greeka possessed very defective
color sense. The sense of smell is
easily fatigued. A man who works in
fertilizer factory or at sewer work
becomes accustomed TO the smell OF
his clothes In very short time, and
no longer minds the stencil which
emanates from them. Similarly, or
entering a room in which the air IS
foul, our sense of smell, unless i
is entirely atrophied, warns US of the
fact. II we remain in the room fol-
few minutes, our impoverished
sense of smell suffers from fatigue
and we no longer smell the bad air
other ways; we may suffer from
headache or nausea II we remain in
the room long enough and are un.
comfortable enough to possess e
sensitive stomach. II not, no i'm
mediate i'll effects will arise from the
vitiated air, because the sense Of
smell has become such a weakling
through centuries OF disuse that II
cannot continue to follow up its frs
warning with succession Of warn
'ngs.

Why There Wa. No Crowd.

story which he delighted to relate
in the presence OF Mr.. Cumback.

everybody else failed to come. except
one lone man. who came to open the
church and build fire; his charge for
this being a dollar. Even those who
had received complimentaries did not

marveled what the hoodoo could be.
He questioned the janitor.

Testing Intelligence Of Fish.

There are not many precise data
in regard to the intelligence of fishes.
Some observers say they can be
trained little: others, like Edlnger.
deny them even memory. 1t seems
that the brain. of bony fishes In par
ticular, remains at low grade.
NJ. ONner has recently made some
interesting observations at the Ocea-
biographical museum at Monaco. with
fish called coris julis. When he dis
guised the hook perfectly he caught
the same fish as often as he pleased
But that only proved that the dis
guise was perfect and that the fish
was hungry. In another set Of expert
ments he used an equally well hidden
hook, but placed a piece OF red paper
on the outline couple of inches
above it.
For the first week the fish remained
Indifferent on the eighth, ninth, tenth
and eleventh days it took the bait; on
the twelfth day 1t refused the bait till
the red paper was removed; on the
thirteenth. fourteenth and fifteenth
days 1t refused the bait with the red
paper. though 1t examined it careful
ly; on the sixteenth day and on the
following six days 1t began by snap
ping at the red paper. and then turn
ing to the hook bit off the bait in
small scraps without any hurry and
