Lee and other expert minerato ists and geologists, jand what he .ound by person'al investigation sur )rised aJid gratified him, although he lready kriew something in a general vay of the immense and practically intouched nrineral resources of the 'herokee hills. Mr. Dozier is very much pleased ver the prospects, not only for Kai tit, baukrite, thorium and other min .rals, a-nd is satisfied that before tinany years some great fortunes are roing to be dug from tihe Cherokee lopes. lie is still pursuing his in estigations. but is tnturally not very ommn1unieative as to his plans or as to be exact oedition of the prospects in -hich lie isinterested. MrIt. Dozier's explorations among lie Cherokee hills were undertaken -ith the primary purpose of ascer tiniing whether the coal edposits, of -i4ch indications had been found, -ere sufficiently extensive and of aich quality as would make it com tercially practicble to develop them. [e has had no reason to doubt the xistence of workable coal beds there, e says. and will continue his pros etting in the neighborhood.

Uponr the othter band, the browyn yedi people's assert that the fair are rceherous and cruel. Thlis is a comn ti'n belief in Italy, where it might he rauced to a popular reminiseene of lie blotnd Northerners, who ravaged bat haapaless country friomn genera ion to generation. But it is much lider. Plutarch eites a contemporary pigramn piassedl upon0 Cato, the Cen tar, who w~as red ha ired antd gray ey d, which shows thait it was current von then. And it is an article of atlthi al t hrotugh the East. Sir Edward Malet tells inI his bio traphay how hec once called at Alex madretta, ad the population assem dIed, blcieving him to be the new Gloy ~rnor of Cyprus. To his D)ragoman he ixpressed a hope that they were fav >rably impressed by his appearance at any rate, but the DragQi& n hon estly replied that it wasO ,so-a blue eyed Governor they, 'hought must be harsh and cruel. And he ad ded that the feeling is general all through the Levant. .By, the emous code of enu, an orthodox Rindu is flatly forbidden to marry A woman with gray eyes or red hailrl-Perhips for this reason, though none is as signed. .In all cases dt may be that a tradition of ruthless invaders from the North has caused the prejudice, since many Afghans, and many Per sians of the wilder trItbes, are fair -niot to mention tihe British in m1od ern times. But that is .an assuip tion. We are using the term blue-eyed in a conventional sense. As a matter of fact that color is the rarest by far of all. Some assert, Indeed, that it does not exist, and many doubtless haven't seen it. Perhaps the rarity of blue is not to be regretted, unless by enthusiasts who set beauty above charity and humainity. For all ani. mala which have blue eyes are more or less "hard of hearing.' This is 1rentrally known in the case of cats, and it is equally true of horses and wild creatures. It is an instance of ('(relation, as Darwin terms the mys terious law, and one would expect to fnd it apply to human beings as is alleged. Also we must admit that: blue or green or gray eyes' have a narrower range of expression tha:n1 dark. Perhaps, inded, the rair do iot respond sa quickly to the impulse of the moment; of more sedate or cooler temperament. they cannot meet a Word or a though half-way and flash back the answer instantly. At any rate. brown eyes. which we call black, have an advantage ini power of ex pression. It used to be taken for granted thiat savages possess a wilder range of eyesight and keenpr obsevation than civilized men. Common sense favor ed the belief, and a report published by the surgeon of the Western Op thalmic Hospital some years ago gave a alarming piturc .)f the state oft things among school child:en. But persons who speak with authority have coniradicted the popular no tion of late- especially Messrs. Spencer and Gillen, in their great work on the Central Tribes of Aus tralia, and Dr. Egelmann. Of course, thcse witnesses may have unusi.l pow.., of vision, but their remarks show at least. that the European may be equal in this respect to Aust1alian savages, who are famous for their eyesight. and that exceptional capa city among them is by no means uni versal.
