How an Alphabet is Developed

@4OW Au A4p0AO9C Ii developed.
Suppose that some old nation of
Asia, after having for ages drawn an
OK when they wished to recall an OK.
began at last to draw the picture of an
OK also whenever it was needful to write
about blowing. Then instead of an OK
It would convey an idea relating to an
OK, and would be what is called SYM
Dol. After awhile some one would say
to himself: What is the use of draw.
ing oil of the OK when tho head alone,
which every one will know from its
shape and its horns. gives just the same
thought Now suppose this ox-hcad
gradually gets to mean the sound of OF
in all words of the language wherein
that syllable occurs. as in the name of
the river Ox-us. Then the ox-head
would appear in words having nothing
whatever to do with cattle or blowing.
Then it is called q piece of souMd-writ-
ing, because it does not recall certain
given thing, but a sound. Sonnd-writ-
ing is thus IN improved kind of picture
writing, and have probably composed
sentences in it, but you know it under
another name. Hardly magazine for
young people is printed in which you
will not find refuses. Well, many re-
buses are nothing but sound-writings.
And many, many thousand years ago
our ancestors had no other kind Of writ.
ing,
And the next step onward from sound
writing was syllable-writing. Rcmem-
Der that people who had reached that
stage thought Of sign or SYMBOL as
representing one syllable ut the least.
Suppose the ox-head was called aleph.
It would soon be found more convenient
to employ it in all words where there
was the sound or syllable of al. And
this was the process with Us many other
letters as there we're in such early
writing, We will call this the syllabary
stage, because signs stood for slylla-
bles. and SO distinguish it from the al
phabet that came later.
The next advance would be to take
the little picture for the sound alone,
and thus begin to use real alphabet.

Then there is the mast-of- tho Hyltcn-

make it possible to punch a hole in the
bottom of such an ark as the Oregon,

it would be necessary to fix the mast at

fectly immovable up, down or sidewise.
II we were to draw circle a furlong in

there would be but one point on tho
circle towards which the mast would
point in just the right angle to punch u

million to one that no such accident
would occur. But supposing that YES

always in movable base, and vessel
of half tho weight of the Oregon, would
either sink the mast by pressing it down,
swinging the sunken wreck triile, OF
it would break the mast off at the deck.

Mr.. Cullom defended tho bill. The com.
mittes had given the subject Of long and
short hauls good deal Of consideration,
and had not felt it sale to 90 further than
the State Of Massachusetts had gone in
that matter. No country in the world had
an absolute long and short haul law for
railroads. There was in this country .
belief that the short haul people were
swindled in order to make up for losses ON
deavored by this bill to prevent the posi-.
bility OF the railroads recouping themselves
out OF the 'short haul" people for losses
on the long haul. The committee had not
been uble to bring their judgment to the
conclusion that 1t would be wise to insist
that there should never be q greater charge
for a shorter than for q longer haul. IL
