NUNOBIKI WATERFALLS.
6ewitchins Night Scene at . Popular
Japanese Resort.


A sight In the summer life Of japan
not easily forgotten is procured In a
night visit to the Nunobiki waterfall,
just outside Kobe on the northeast.
There are two falls. the lower or fe-
male fall of forty-three feet and the
upper or male fall Of eighty feet, the
water gushing in each case out of the
hill above and falling down the gorge
to whirling pool below. 1t is reached
by an easy, winding climb up the cliffs
of the Million Firefies"-tiny electric
bulbs in thousands among the trees
and the thousands and thousands of
gayly clad women and children visitors
shepherded by the more somber clad
men give the traveller two distinctly
delightful sensations before reaching
the Illuminated falls themselves.
the tiny lights come and go among
the trees in a bewitching way. The
single light, says the Kobe Chronicle,
which Eliminates the higher fall will
perhaps appeal TO many rather than
the colored lights thrown on the lower
fall. and the lamp rays giving the foun-
tain the hues of the rainbow NAV be
regarded as artificial. Nevertheless the
general effect is attractive.
TO any one who knows China it is
impossible not to draw a comparison
favorable to the Japanese In viewing
the crowd Entrance to the gorge is
perfectly free, yet thousands flocking
there every evening are neatly dressed
In summer garments, every one clean
and respectable, while the conduct of
the great crowd is orderly and marked
by sense of quiet enjoyment. Such a
scene would be almost impossible in
China, and until the idea of personal
cleanliness can be introduced among
the swarming millions Of that country
we are afraid the japanese will con.
t1nue to look down upon their neigh
bors as inferior.

accent of the true Partisan. But Du-
mas was more than a Partisan; he was
cosmopolitan at a time when there
were no cosmopolitan Frenchmen, and
he gave me the impression of a man
who had seen life in every aspect.

many words: MY mind is made up.

Talking about superstitious players
reminds me of Slim Sallee's notions
along these lines. SAILS pet supersti-
ton is that it's bad luck for him to
warm up with any catcher but the
one who is to work with him.
IF the playing backstop has ybatted
last and has put on his shinguards
and armor before warming up, Sal will
never throw a ball to the plate to
any man who may come out of the
dugout with nit. He will throw
either to the first or third baseman.

Cards he tried to josh Sal out of these
