In Porak, a stale In the Straits Set tlements, the Malnys~huvc one form of amusement which Is probably not to bo enjoyed anywhere elso In tho wide world. There Is a huge granite slope In tho course of a mountain river, down which the water trickles about two Inches deep, the main stream having carved out a bed by the side of the bowlder. This rock, tho face of which has been rendered as fUUOOth as glass by the con stant How of water during hundreds of years, the Malays -uien, women and children have turned Into a toboggan, Climbing to the top of the rock, they sit In the shallow water with thoir feet straight out and a hand on each side for steering and then slide down the sixty feet into a pool of water. This Is a favorite Bp >i't on siiuny mornings, as many as 2t>o folks being engaged at a time and sliding so quick ly one after another or forming rows i of two. four or evon elghj persons that they tun?'.kTInto tho pool a eon fused mass of screaming creatures. There Is iilHe danger in tho game. and. though some choose to sit on a piece of plau tain, most of the tobogganers are con tent to squat on their haunches, ?3 A.

"Wo so habitually Impute thought t,o nnlnisls that we como unconsciously to look upon them as possessing this pow er," writes John Burroughs In Har per's Magazine. "Thus the dog seems io think about his dinner when prompt ed by hunger or about his home and his master when separated from them. The bird seems to think about Its mate, Its best, its young, Its enemies, The fox seems to think about tho hound that it hears haying upon Its track and tries to etude It; the heaver seem 9 to think about its dam, tho muskrnt about 11 i house In the fall, tho woodpecker about tho cell in the dozy limb which it will need as a lodging place lu Hie winter - that Is, all those creatures ncl as if they thought.
