PARADISE FOR BOOK HUNTERS
Writer Tells Of Treasures of Various
Sorts That May Be Picked

Book hunting is an agreeable pur-
suit and nowhere can 1t be conducted
with more zest and profit than in
Japan. / think there are more old
book shops and stalls In Tokyo than
in all the cities of the United States
combined. In many Of them one finds
only school text books and cheap mag
azines, but there are shops In almost
every quarter that contain real treas
ures. The greatest number are In
Hongo and the neighborhood of the
university The secondhand book
sellers have a society and club
house where they have weekly auc-
tons for members and once or twice
year they hold public sale on the
second floor of large house belong
ing to the Tokyo Fine Arts club in
Hongo, near Ryogokubashi, on the OPP
pOsite side Of the bridge from the
wrestling pavilion. The entire second
floor is thrown into one large room
by removing the interior screens and
the books are spread out on the mats,
each dealers lot apart, each set of
volumes plainly labeled with It's title
and price. There is a bewildering
variety; Chinese books, often old and
rare editions that cannot be found in

Children and fools tell the truth,

dure the candid eyes of childhood,
fixed upon us in amazed surprise at
our social insincerities. It was a
child and not a courtier who saw
that the king. strutting amid his court
in the garments made by the wicked
magician, had nothing on. Our chill
dren, beholding us in our undraped
moral ugiiness, speak out as is the
witless way of their world Luckily
children forgive us our sins of misun-
derstanding forgive US even our inept
attempts to understand them by med
dlesome supervision and vain cate
chising. We know In our truest mo-
ments that we can hardly show the
best that Is In us to anyone else, be-
cause 1t is too precious for display,
just as we have a sure test for our
best deeds In that we give ourselves
no credit for them, seek no reward of
public fame or Mr.. Carnegie's hero

8 NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

When Mrs. Hastings discovered her
daughter Mildred had promised to mar
ry Harry Prescott she raised great
disturbance and forbade the young peo-
pie seeing each other. She was deter
mined to marry Mildred to one of the
millionaires who visited their summer
resort every year, and Mildred was
equally determined to answer the call
of her own heart only. So there had
arisen between the two a battle royal
in which the community was greatly
interested.
Harry PrescOtt's only fault lay in the
fact that he was struggling barrister,
with no particular fortune save his hon
est heart and steady ways, but that
was sufficient to taboo him forever as a
future son-in-law for the fastidious
Mrs. Hastings.

With the engine In the middle, these

lions, carrying troops and ammuni-

The coaches, made over coal cars,
were plated with steel one-half inch
thick. In the sides were % rifle loop
holes, with sliding doors.
The guntrack had three compare
ments for Maxim guns, an ammunition
storeroom and, a gun platform. On
each side of the machinegun compart-
ment were three observation holes. two
rifle loopholes and three openings for
the Maxims. The ammunition room
had observation and rifle loopholes and
80 pigeonholes, each holding two IL
pound shells for the gun mounted on
the platform. This car was located
at the end of the train.
The locomotive was armored-with
a shield for the brakes and lower ma

Vital Facts Which Are Not Prop
erIy Understood.
Physical Development, More Especially
Among the Lower Animals, Largely
Matter Of Environment
In Human Family.

The laws of heredity are not well
understood. There are many facts
pertaining to heredity which are well
known, but there are so many excep-
tons to the rules, nothing in the way
of positive laws can be stated. Ac-
cording to the supposed laws of hered-
| ity there should be no difference what
ever in the physical appearance of
children born of the same parents.
And yet children born of the same
parents are never exactly alike and
frequently vary to as great degree as
they vary In physical conformation
In shape and size-which might be
accounted for on the ground that
they were reared under different con-
ditions-but they differ frequently at
birth In the color of the hair and
eyes and disposition.
But these variations are not so no.
ticeable among the wild things as
among the domestic animals and peo-
| pie. There is no question as to an an
imal's being influenced in its develop
ment by reason of its surroundings,
its exercise and its food. And, when
so Influenced, its peculiarities are
transmitted to its offspring.
Exercise probably has more to do
with physical development of an ami
NAL than any other thing. This fact
Is demonstrated in the case of per
sons whose ancestors have followed a
single occupation for many genera
lions. In the lower animals it is also
known to be a fact that acquired
characteristics are inherited. The
bird dog inherits not only the deep
lungs acquired by its ancestors, but
the instinct to point birds. The trot
and pace are acquired gaits with
horses and are freely transmitted
through Inheritance, even to the for
nation of muscles conducive to speed.
The wild creatures do but few
things in making a living. The wolf
| hunts after a certain manner; the deer
grazes on the grass and buds Of
plants; the quail picks up seeds and
bugs and worms. Over and over, gen.
Grafton after generation, these things
follow the same routine in securing a
living. So they develop and transmit
to the offspring the degree of efficiency
needed to make a living. So year after
year, generation after generation, the
members Of the tribe, or pack, or
flock are kept at a certain standard
and do not vary. But with domestic
animals, as where horses are used for
various purposes, where cows do not
live under identical conditions-and
with human beings, where there are
so many ways of making a living.
variations are developed and trans
mitted to offspring.
But there ere many uncertainties as
| to what the offspring will be like. We
have not learned enough about the
laws Of heredity even to state posi-
lively that the offspring of famous
race horse will have speed, although
we know that the tendency win be
toward speed. The child of we'll
developed man and woman may be u
weakling, although the chances are II
| will be strong. And certainly we do
not know that the children of very
| brilliant man will be any more bril-
| liant than other children. although.
according to the laws Of heredity, 1t
ought to be.

cretan Soldiers In Attendance on
venizelcs at Peace Conference
Were Gorgeously Uniformed.

Kings, presidents and premiers
ceased to be a novelty at the peace
conference. but the bodyguard Of Pre-
mier Venizelos Of Greece never failed
to attract great crowds. At the hotel
where the American delegation was
housed and at the foreign Office, Ven-
izelos' approach was always hera1ded
by the arrival of one Of his Oretan
soldiers arrayed more brilliantly than
comic-opera bandit.
The Cretans who escorted the Greek
statesman were all more than six feet
tall and apparently had been chosen
from various organizations, as diff
ferent man appeared daily, and the
same uniform was never seen twice.
The swarthy Cretans all had small
waxed mustaches twisted into up
turned points and stood rigidIy at at
tentlon for hours while awaiting NJ
venizelos at the entrance to the hotel
or the foreign Office. The jlbes of
small boys and the jokes of various
allied soldiers who gathered in won
derment never seemed to disturb the
imperturbable Oretana
Perhaps the most startling uniform
worn by one Of the guards consisted
of white tights bound by tasseled
black silk cords at the knees, a red
velvet blouse and sash, red fez sur
mounted by a black silk tassel so long
that it fell below the waist, and black
sandals with upturned toes topped by
great black silk pompons. This cos
tune was completed by an ivory-han-
died knife two feet long thrust care
lessly into the sash.
The knives and swords worn by the
Cretans we're the chief feature Of the
uniforms and made collectors of an
tique weapons very envious. They
were of all sizes and shapes and had
sheaths of great splendor, jeweled and
carved in q marvellous manner.
Some of the guards were bare-kneed
and had costumes not unlike the
Scotch in style, but much gaudier In
color. Others wore marvelously dec
Grated leggings reaching far above
the knees. Capes Of Oriental hues
were frequently worn by the Cretans
and added to the brilliancy of the
Greek uniforms, which made the fancy
dress uniforms of the French and
English look somber.
