CoREAN PEDDLER IS STRONG

The Corean Is of sturdier physical
structure than either the Chinese or
the Japanese. He. can bear much
greater burdens. The muscles of the
heels and back seem never to tire.
Many Corean coolies can vie with
donkey in burden-bearing. On rack
made of two forked sticks fastened to-
gether in the crude resemblance OF an
artists easel. Corean porter can car
ry 300 to $50 pounds, and sometimes
400. With a load Of deer hides, or OF
pottery, weighing 200 to $50 pounds,
he can go steadily up precipitous
mountain path. Yet, generally, the
Corean is an idler when 1t comes to
steady work. He will lie for house In

sands are yellowish, but when dry are
pure white. They are firm and unyield-
Ing, like wet beach on the seashore,
and one can walk across them almost
without leaving footprints. Taken in
the hand, the grains OF sand are dull,
but when viewed from distance they
sparkle with an uncanny brightness.
II one walks a little way across the
white sands, in the middle of one OF
the hot, sunshiny days common in
New Mexico, the glare proves almost
binding, while the heat radiated from
this sea of sand is terrific. A pecull-
arity about the sand is its perfect SOL
utility Taken in the hands, grains
OF the white sand can be rubbed into
powder with little effort.
Oldtimers in New Mexico, who have
known Of the white sands for many
years, assert that the white sands are
constantly moving. The Indians tell
all kinds of uncanny stories concern
ing the white sands, which are sup
posed to be bad medicine" and the
red men are careful to keep away from
the place. 1t is estimated by careful
observers that in about twenty years
the white sands have advanced east
ward one-half mile, and that steady
movement in that direction is going
on. In fact a wagon road leading
around the edge Of the sands has been
changed several times, because the
shifting sea of sand has obliterated
parts of 1t.
Nobody has ever made the trip
across the white sands, to the knowl-
edge Of white men in the southwest.
1t would be easy for ''tenderfoot" to
become lost In the sand dunes half a
mile from the edge OF the Tularosa
desert proper. The dunes look much
alike. and, unless one had a compass
he might wander for days in the maze
OF glaring white sand hills and never
find his way out. 1t would require but
a few hours In such blaze of heat,
however, for a man to succumb, un-
less he had taken the precaution to
provide himself with an ample supply
of water.

SHOOTS A 7oO-PoUND ELK
Dayton Aikens, Hunter at Lewiston.
Pa, Presents Animals Carcass
to Hospital.

Lewiston. Pa.-An elk weighing 700
pounds was killed at Seven Mountains

hunters fired at the animal, but Aiken

Education.

Education is the whole effect OF en-

way affected by everything with
which he comes in contact, from. the

Teaching is therefore a factor in
