People are getting puzzled as to the correct
Pronunciation of the name of our great sum-
mer resort, Mount Desert. We incline 10
the belief that it should be called Mount
Desert, as in the past. In the frs, place
this pronunciation has an historical signin-
eanee in preserving the French origin OF the
name. Though the French has no accent
yet in speaking the language the tendency Is
odwell upon the last syllable. Hence our
'ofefathers. in taking the name of the island
rom the French, gave 1t its present pronuh'
uation. Again, custom should 60 for some
ming. From the earliest times the people
@New England have placed the accent on
~e last syllable of this name, and have thus
gwen IT distinct character. But the strong
est reason for not changing the established
remuneration is the fact that the Engiish
word desert is a misnomer as applied to the
"'ahd, and does not convey the meaning
mich Champlain intended in his "Lfsie O
M Aonts Deserts" The word desert IN oiu
french does not mean desert or waste, ou'
IMPLY clear of trees. Champlain meant u
~ that the tops of the mountains were clear
uees. as they are to this day. He haa NJ
thought Of calling the island desert, ana We
