ual part was rendered was little less
than remarkable. While T. cannot he

Sane Literature Sure to Be Anat1ema-
tixed by High Priests of Art.
There was time when Latin was
the language OF aristocratic literature,
and Dante had to defend himself for
writing his poetry in his native but
vulgar tongue, and even Edmund
Spenser was criticised for refusing to
use Latin meters in his English verse.
The same tradition of aristocratic ex-
preston in literature has animated
academic criticism at all times. Amer
lean literature viii have to endure its
condemnation. IF we produce Itera-
ture that bears the same relation to
American life that American plumbing
does, for example, we shall be doing
sane thing, but thing that will sure
Iy be mathematical by all the high
priests Of art. And they will anathe-
Matte it although literature has to
be vital to be anything at all, although
it has to serve life, not aesthetics; al
though the religion of "art for arts
sake is a religion that ministers to it's
idol, but not to humanity; although
such religions are dying everywhere
and the. religion Of social service is tax
ing their place, and although the
priests of art also, in their turn, will
have to come down out of their tenn
pies to serve among the people or be
mocked.-Haryey J. O'Higgins in Cen

EarIx story of Rern1uda.

Discovered In 1915 by Juan de Ber-
mudez, whose name was given to the
delightful Bermuda islands, they lay
for nearly century in obscurity, until
Admiral Sir George Somers and a
party OF Virginia colonists were wreck
ed on the islands, remaining there sew
eral months, while they built two small
cedar pinnaces. In these vessels the
voyage to the coast was continued, the
coIonists arriving at jamestown only
TO find the people there without food
and on the verge Of starvation. Som
ers volunteered to return to; Bermuda
to obtain a cargo of Wild hogs, which
were plentiful but his mission ended
In his death. In 1912 the Virginia com
pany sent out the first party CT colo
nists to Bermuda and hoisted the Eng
1ish flag over the islands, which now
rank as Britain's oldest colony. The
Virginia company sold it's rights to
the Bermuda company, which sent out
other colonists from time to time and
endeavored to build up a profitable
community for its shareholders.

The Eyes Of: the Musk OK.

The skull Of the bull musk OK is re-
markable for the development of the
eye orbits, which project sufficiently
beyond the plane of the frontal bones
to compensate for the interruption the
horns would otherwise make in the
range of vision. The musk OK, how
ever, does not seem to rely greatly on
keenness of sight, far less on acuteness
Of hearing, for the ears are of small
dimensions and are completely covered
by the heavy growth of fur about them.
The organs of scent are evidently more
highly developed, and they exact OF the
hunter his greatest cunning.
