A quaint practice exists at the bishop
of London's palace at Fulham, and this
consists in what appears to be a time
honored custom of waking up the epis-
copal domestics by means of long pole.
At Fulham the palace lodge keeper has

arousing certain Of the servants at sue
cessiye hours, beginning at about half

What's In Worde

If any of our readers, in looking over
articles on electric railways in the Ger
man language should come across the
word strassenhahnwagenuntergestelle
they need not be alarmed or discouraged
nor be afraid to use 1t III good society
Instead of getting at the subject direct
lv, as is done i'll English, this single
word relates quite little story--a sort
of riddle of which you are expected to
guess the answer. The story is briefly
as follows: In about the middle of the
word we find that the object referred to
has some connection with a car, and,
returning to the beginning, it appears
that this car is intended to run on rails
Gas cars usually do, by the way; that
and that the car is supported on some
structure. Near the end it is explained
that this supporting structure is below,
and not above, the car, and, finally, it
is added that it refers to the apparatus
in general and not to any one form in
particular. With the aid of this descrip-
ton it will not be difficult to guess cor
rectly that the German writer would
have said trucks instead had he been
privileged to use the English language
1t seems to us that this verbal machine
is somewhat overcompounded.- Elec-
