March 28, 1918 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on two volumes of the book "Japan Day by Day," by Edward S. Morse. The writer of these two volumes has made a reputation in the fields of zoology and ceramics, and for several years was in Japan carrying out investigations in brachiopods and other of the lower forms of life. It was in the wilds of the northern islands of Japan that Professor Morse first learned to straddle a horse, and he records many amusing, sometimes painful, experiences when on and off the backs of these untrained brutes. As the northern island of Yezo or Hokkaido is being rapidly colonized, his remarks on the interesting aboriginal people, the Ainus, are of considerable value.
