DECLINE OF THE WEEKLY
New York World.)

Colonel Harvey, in turning Harper )
Weekly over to its new owners, eX-
presses doubt as to whether it would
be commercially successful today I'M
der the direction of the men who gave
it great prestige a generation ago.
Would people read even Mr. Curtic'
scholarly leading articles today?" he
asks. What about the pictures? Why
don't they sell great numbers of pa
pers, as they do in England? T2e
answer is the Sunday supplement,
which is a full week closer to the ey-
ent and costs the reader nothing extra.
And the cartoons? When Mast was
making them he had the field entirely
to himself. Now there are hundreds o.
clever chaps turning them out by the
bushel"
These few sentences pretty well
summarize the conditions which have
caused the decay of the weekly period
ical 1t has been crushed between the
daily newspaper and the lively, enter
tanning and finely-illustrated magazin-
es." 1t has lost individuality to each
class of competitors.
1t has suffered also from the decline
of personality in editorship. Neither
Mr.. Bryan's Commoner nor The Out
look, with Mr.. Roosevelts great fame
as an editorial asset, exercises any
thing like the old influence of Harper
Weekly in the days when it was the
country's household periodical What
weekly shapes college opinion today as
Godkin shaped it in The Nation?
There is the additional cause of 4
general elevation of editorial stand
ards to a point where differences of
quality are less conspicuous. The pub
lie is surfeited with reading matter of
grade sufficiently good to diminish
the demand for the highest class of
periodical literature But the main
reason is that the field is too full For
the one Mast there are now a dozen
and for the one Curtis or Schurfi or
Godkin, scores of editors whose quail
fications, if inferior, satisfy a less eX-
acting public taste.

occupied it about 5000 years ago,
coming from Manchuria or Mongolia.
The natives whom they displaced were
the hairy Anus, of whom but about
1000 survive A mixed Asiatic descent
is plainly that of the Japanese Their
arts, including writing, were learned
from the Chinese, but they have i'm
proved upon them in every instance
The Japanese are keenly intelligent
and high spirited, but the question of
race they have raised can never be
settled by diplomatic arrangement. 1t
is as deep as the right of human as
piration and evolution. On reaching
the Pacific border the course of en-
pire is halted in its historical direc-
ton. A great eastward movement by
the hundreds of millions of Asiatics
would wipe out the Aryans in the
western part of North America. They
could not survive poverty which
Asiatics not only endure, but have
found no obstacle to increase until
they comprise half the population CT
the earth.
Estimates of race are a matter OF
opinion, and no race is apt
to underyalue or disparage itself Pro-
found instincts draw lines that can
not be changed by the negotiations of
craftsmanship, and it is vain to take
up the related problems as a part Of
law or treaties. Natural
selection can not be regulated by sta
.ute or legislative compact. Nations
will protect themselves according foI
heir best judgment and knowledge,
while seeking to injure no other.

QUESTIONS OF RACE

Ethnologists are generally agreed
thar the Aryan. usually called the
N13lire race, originated in Southwestern
Europe, or in the northwestern region
Of Africa near the Mediterranean
which is geographically, from a re-
ngoreIy ancient point of view, much
the same thing. The Aryans did n ,,
come from Asia, but TO some extent
r'oved into it, in India, Persia and ad-
ia rent territory.
There are some who have conten6e 1
RAT the Japanese were originally an
van branch that wandered far from
re starting place. But science fini
little to support the idea. They we've

throwing a fly over a shy fish. Outside
the cone of light mentioned vision did
not penetrate beyond the water, but
objects in the water outside the cone.
instead of appearing as silhouettes,
assumed their natural colors, and the
surface of the water reflected exactly.
and on calm days reproduced, the same
colors as the bottom. In the same way
the under parts of birds of prey acted
as mirrors. When heron stood in
the water making it's meal of fish its
legs looked like the stalks of weeds
and the body, with the murderous beak
was quite invisible to the fish until too
late to escape.

THE ANGLER As VIEWED BY THE
FISH
Westminster Gazette.)


A very interesting lecture was de-
livered recently at Fishmongers' Hall,
London Bridge, by DR.. Francis Ward,
entitled With Camera Under
Water" The lecture depicted sub-aq-
uatic life from the fish's point of view,
and was Illustrated by lantern slides
and cinematograph films.
DR.. Ward assumed for reasons which
he stated at length, that the vision OF
a fish Appropriated to our own, and
pointed out that the appearance OF an
object below water, and the way IN
which this varied in different situatlJuS
was entirely a question of sub-aqueors
optics. The angler could only learn
what the fish could see of him by plao-
ing himself in the position of the isi.
1t was the the anglers business 70
keep out of sight, and to do that y :
must learn the fsh's range Of VISION
This varied with the depth of the II p
in the water. Imagine the fish to pc
three feet deep, the range Of vision,
looking upward, was through a cone
of light, the surface circumference OF
which was IS feet. In room with A
single window an object held between
the eye of the observer and the window
appeared as silhouette, and with the
fish every object which came within
the cone of light appeared as a silhou-
cite against a bright background.
The line of vision continued above
the surface of the water at a much
wider angle, so that fisherman stand
ing on the bank might be plainly seen
by the fish, apparently right on top OF
him, while an angler wading deep
might be unobserved through quite
close to the fish. The arms and rod
would, however, be almost sure to
come within the view of the FISH, hence
the advantage of deep wading and OF
