UNCLE RAYS CORNER

The Belgian Congo Is cut by the
Equator, and the sun beats down
on 1t steadily. Whether the month
Is January or July, the sun is strong
This part Of Central Africa is
mainly lowland, and a person can
not easily reach a high place where
he will find cool air. During several
months of the year, much of the
Congo country Is treated to heavy
downpours Of rain.
Rain and heat work together to
bring about fast growth of plant
life. The Belgian Congo has mil
Hons of trees. If any one tried to
count them one by one he would
be an old man before he was one
h.ndredth of the way through.
The trees give shade, but the
suns heat is so heavy that it gets
down into the forest It makes the
forest air too warm for comfort.
Another trouble is the dampness.
In the rainy season the forest floor
Is soaked. A traveller gets his feet
wet. He may brush against low
branches Of trees or against bushes
taking of water which vets his
clothes.
That is on a morning when there

is no rain pouring from the sky.
When the rain is falling, few per-
sons travel about.
If the day goes on without rain,
the traveller finds that his clothing
will dry out. In late afternoon, or
early evening, a thick fog is likely
to settle over the forest, and this
may again give him wet clothing.

White men in the Great Forest
OF the Belgian Congo usually are
carried from place to place. They
lie in hammocks which are handled
by natives.
Here and there in the Great
Forest is a village. It may contain
hardly dozen huts, or it may be
a large village with hundreds of
people. Most of the natives are of
the Bantu race, but there are vii
lagos Of little people"-the Pygmies.

Grammatical Error

From New York: "You state that
grammatical error is correct. How
absurd you are! Grammar, like the
multiplication table, is absolute,
fixed. There can be no error in it."
Answer-Man did not invent arith-
metic; he discovered it. 1t is based
on changeless, natural law. But
English grammar is recent human
invention. Shakespeare, Milton and
the compilers of the authorized
version, or King James Bible, lived
and wrote before the grammarians
descended. on us in the 18th century.
No error in grammar? Hark to
the late Prof. Francis James Child
Of Harvard: II never saw an Eng
Gsh grammar which would permit
my children to look into, so great
the chance that they would be
taught something false"
Hark to Richard Grant White,
author, philologist: From the
heterogeneous union of Latin and
English sprang that hybrid mon
ster known. as English GRAMMAR"
No error in grammar? Ask the
writer's of dictionaries. Ask the emf
nent grammarians. Ask any teacher
OF English. Ask any grade school
pupil. Ask any editor. Ask the un-
happy creature whose duty 1t is to
proofread this column!
These, and many more, will testify
that English grammar, like all other
man-made things, is imperfect .
yes, very imperfect.
