RuffaIoes in Java.

One of the favorite as well as one
of the most useful friends of the ma
tive of Java is the "karbau' or buff
falo. This animal, so powerful yet so
gentle, shares his Iabors. With sure
foot it plods through the soft, muddy
roads or along the stony mountain
paths, drawing carts laden with rice
or other products into the villages.
One of the most delightful pastoral
pictures which one carries away from
this beautiful island of the East is that
of little brown children sitting on the
backs of these creatures flicking the
flies off them and guiding them from
one green bit of pasture to another

Vikings May BE Said TO Have Pos

The Vikings were not only great
warriors, but they were equally distin-
guished as maritime explorers. "They
were so vigorous in their activities, so
dauntless and daring, such genuinely
strenuous shipmen, that they were
bound to do great things, or fail where
none could have succeeded" said E.
Keble Chatterton, in "Ships and Ways
of Other Days" And Doctor Nansen

"And truth is this to me, and that
to thee."-IdyIls of the King.
A color-bIind person sees neither
red nor green. but a neutral color.
You say the grass is green and he
agrees; but the color you see as you
look at the grass is not the color he
sees as he looks at it. Green is one
color to you and another color to him
yet each one takes it for granted that
the other one sees just what he sees,
for the color blind person rarely
knows that he is color blind.
A near-sighted man and far-slght-
ed man will look at the same hillside
and see two totally different pictures.
One will be but a greenish blurr; the
other may see a grove of poisoning
chestnut. IT, however, any discussion
about the hillside arises, each man
will believe that the other las seen
just what he himself has seen, and
will probably believe him. a willful
liar If he says he saw more or less.
All of US are more or less mentally
color blind and mentally near-sigated.
Unfortunately the tests for defective
mental vision are not SO simple and
reliable as those for defective physical
vision. Most of us go through life
without any suspicion of our infirmity.
Defects of mental vision are due to
ignorance, to prejudice, to race, to
faulty education, and to such like
causes. To such defects are due po-
litical strife, religious prosecutions
wars, and all the other disagreements
that mar life.
If each man saw the truth as his
neighbor sees it, there would be no
cause for disagreement. We are all,
however, in the same state as the
blind men who went to see the ele-
phant-we see but part of the truth,
while fancying we see it all You re-
member that when the blind men be-
gan to examine the elephant, in order
to find out what the animal was like,
one caught hold of the trunk, and
thought the elephant resembled a
snake another got hold of the tail,
and thought the elephant resembled
a rope; a third got hold. of leg, and
thought the elephant resembled tres
trunk, while a fourth leaned against
the elephants side, and insisted the
animal resembled a wall.
While it is highly improbable that
anyone of us will ever be able to learn
the whole truth, the real truth, on all
subjects, all of US can at least remem-

al made voyage to Grand Cairo, on
purpose to take the measure of a pyr-
amid."-Sir Roger de coverIey Papers.
If we had to gather all our informa-
ton at first hand as the Spectator did,
we should know much less than we
do; but what we did know would be
more likely to be accurate.
Stefansson, the great Arctic ex-
plorer, has recently written short
article on Educated Ignorance, in
which he speaks of 1.-THE self-perpetu-
ating quality common TO the educated
mans ignorance" The primary pur-
pose Of his article is to set us right
on the subject Of Eskimo dwellings,
These dwellings are ordinarily made
of sod and wood, earth and wood,
wood and moss, wood and skins, or a
combination perhaps of bones, stones
and wood" They are not made Of
snow except during emergencies, such
as being caught abroad in a storm.
Practically all textbooks state that
Eskimos live in snow houses, and
leave the impression that all Eskimos
live in such houses all the time. Many
of them state, too, that the tempera-
ture inside the houses cannot be al~
lowed to go above 80 degrees, or the
house would melt. Stefansson says he
has been in snow house when the
temperature indoors was 60 degrees
above zero, and that the roof was per-
fectly dry.
Take the matter Of the porcupine as
a further example, Some hundreds of
years ago a book on natural history
stated that the porcupine threw his
quills at his pursuers. The statement
has been disproved by scientist after
scientist, but the makers of textbooks
keep right on copying the error from
older books. It Is possible to find
books of quite recent date that say
porcupines throw their quilts, yet the
best-fnformed scientists say such a
thing is pure nonsense.
There is, too, the matter of the
ostrich and his habit Of burying his
head in the sand when danger threat
ems him. Explorers who have spent
years in Africa declare the ostrich
never buries his head in the sand I'M
der any circumstances.
1t always comes as something of a
shock to me to find that some bit of
information that have chung to for
years is erroneous. Time after time
l have cleaned information from
printed sources that seemed authentic,
only to discover that statistics quoted
for last year were the ones that be-
longed to year quarter century
past, or something equally disconcert-
ing

FIRE AND WATER
GUT Z DWELLINGS
Blaze. In Frame Structures On
Carroll Street Loomed Men
acing For Time

Two dwelling houses of frame con-
struction, at Nos. 81 and % Carroll
street, were gutted by fire and water
shortly after 10 o'clock this morning.
The blaze. starting. 1t is believed,
from a defective fiue in a chimney,
for time proved a stubborn one to
fight The houses are adjoining and
the flames had gained considerable
headway among the rafters beneath
the shingle rooves, before bursting
through the sides, and the volunteer
firemen did good work in preventing
them spreading to adjoining houses
just across narrow alleyways.
Blaze Soon Under Control
The fire laddies soon had several
streams of water playing on the L'aze
and got II under control only, how
ever. after the upper sections of the
buildings were badly burned and the
interior gutted by water The work
of the firemen was especially COM
mendable in view of the fact that a
fairly stiff breeze was blowing from
the northwest, and the street on both
sides. is network of frame resi-
dences
The blaze appeared to have started
near the chimney in the dwelling oc-
cupied by the family of Frank Joyce
and soon spread to the adjoining
house tenanted by Harry Colburn.
Many of the furnishings in both
houses were saved by the fremen,
neighbors and others, who were
brought to the scene by the fire alarm,
and gave help willingly until driven
back by sitting smoke. Meanwhile,
other residents nearby began remov-
ing their belongings to places of
safety in the street, but desisted when
assured that there was no danger OF
further spread of the flames. The
partly destroyed dwellings are owned
by William E. Feldmeyer. The DAM
age has not been estimated.
