Sunshine OME figures of speech are too often allies of falsehood. A would-be ir resistible advertisement offers residence in a land of perpetual sunshine.”* How inviting! At the same time how re- pelling! What normal man sine. hu being could ask for perpetual sun shine? In the first place, if he be a white man he could never remain sane normal, nor human in such a land. A member of the nonpigmented race can not tolerate the perpetual rays of the sun; they are sure to turn him into an abnormal human being if not an insane one. He needs the occasional fog, the smoky, mysterious atmosphere, the misty haze of an occasional day in lands where weather is iever monotonous, but, on the contrary, forever keeps one guessing And he does not have to remain indoors to do his guessing In the lands of perpetual sunshine (if there be such, indeed!) man—the white man—would have to remain in the house most of the time, out of the glare There would be no delightful guessing to do. Everything would be so plain that guessing would be useless. What is there to guess with no change in shad ows from day to day and day after day?
