Some readers vs Mr. Fleming's Asia" articles in "The Tumes," written in what he calls his "three pile, fireproof, Printing Hodac Square prose," may possibly have feared that the high serious ness of Central Asian polities and a-Special the responsiblities of Correspondent might affect that

lively and humerous outlook on men and things, that keen enjoy ment of his own sallies and sorties, which distinguished the "Brazilian

phical Society. But the reader need not go far with him to discover that such fears are groundless.
