AZ One way of conducting spell
ing bee i'll England is to let ono person
begin with letter, the next one must
add to it, having complete word in his
head, and so ON, until some one finishes
whatever word may eventually be man
ufaotured. Says a writer in the Court
Circular, 80 1t is astonishing how unfa-
miliar certain common combinations of
letters sound when said in this way
Thus | heard of bee held in COM
mercial room i'll large hotel, when the
word has got as far as Il | \. What
on earth can zin' be the beginning of?
said the next man, and he was SO con-
WINGED there could be no word in the
language beginning in that way that he
made various bets against it, then chal>
lenged the last speaker-that is, asked
him to complete the word, Zine was
the answer, and thereupon the puzzled
one jumped up With o spasm of agony.
BY Jove. be said, and l travel in it
myself. That was the fact; he repre-
sented hardware firm and sold zinc
every day Of his life"
