Of English Oririn

Many sO-called Americanisms are in
reality archaisms of which the English
origin Is forgotten. The phase "let
slide is supposed to be an American
ism, but students of English literature
will call to mind the following stanza
from Chaucer's "Clerkes Tale:"
II blame him not that he considered
nought
In time coming what might him belittle
But on his lust present was all his
thought,
And for to hauke and hunt on every side;
Well nigh all other cures let he slide.
And exc he n old land that was worst OF
Wedden no wifi for ought that might
befall.''
Chaucer:
with him Their was his some. Younger
squier,
A lover and lusty bachelor,
With locks crulle as they were laide i'm
presse,
Of twenty year of age he was l gesse."
Americans have been criticized for u.s.
ing the word "homely" to express the
absence of beautiful-as a "homely
girl for ''plain girl" An example
of such usage may be found in Shaks-
peare:
Upon homely object love can wink
After ALL life would be unbearable If
everybody talked like book. It is far
better to use "isms'' than, in the words
of an illustrious Irishman, to 'hide
ones nationality under a cloak of per-
sonal affectation."

Puzzle jugs.

Water or puzzle jugs were made in
England as early as the seventeenth
century, and at the beginning of the
present century were still being pro-
duced. They are now seen only in mu-
seums or private collections. These
tantalizing vessels, though not always
equally complex, have generally some
features in common. In spite of their
many spouts, a perforated neck usual
~ prevented the abstraction of their
contents in the ordinary way. But q
secret passage for the liquor up the
hollow handle and through one spout or
nozzle afforded the means of sucking
out the contents. OF course all other
spouts and small concealed hole un-
der the top of the handle had to be
closed by the fingers judiciously en-
ployed during the imbibing process.
The inscriptions found on some Of these
puzzle jugs usually relate to the diff
Guilty of getting at their contents; the
following is an example, written in
scratch blue" on a salt-glazed jug:
"From Mother Earth I claim my birth.
I'm made joke for man; But now I'm
here, filled with good cheer, Come,
taste me if you can"

SDun Glass.

A French chemist brought spun glass
into practical use about fifty years ago,
although the art Of spinning glass was
practiced long before that time. He
first succeeded in softening the hard,
shiny effect of the glass fabric, giving it
a silky effect that was much more pleas
ing. Next he endeavored to reduce it's
brittleness by making a spun glass,
whose threads were much finer than
those of silk, and whose texture was
much like that of WOOL This glass
could readily be woven and all kinds
of articles were made of it. It was
found especially suitable for surgical
use, owing to it's antiseptic properties
and it's cleanliness. The fact that glass
is unattached by most acids made the
fabric useful for laboratory filters, and
nearly all we'll equipped establishments
of the kind now use them. The cloth is,
beside, on-combustible and poor con-
ductor of heat AS the individual
fibers are perfectly non-absorbent,
grease spots and stains can be readily
removed. For this same reason the
cloth cannot be dyed, but it can be spun
of colored glass and the color is abso-
lutely fast and unchanging.

Color Music.

For some years Mr.. Rivington, "a
wealthy amateur artist, has been in
vestigating the theory Of the intimate
connection between form, sound and
color. He has constructed a color or
gan by means of which he has produced
results inexpressibly beautiful Ac-
cording to the undulatory theory of
light, the rates of vibration producing
different colors vary in much the same
ratio as the intervals in vibra tons pro-
ducing musical notes. Mr.. Rivington
in his color organ has provided prac-
teal means of delighting the eye with
music played in color There is key
board attached to delicate mechanism,
and upon depressing any key the color
answering to that note is flashed upon
screen at the end of the room in which
the instrument stands. At a recent
exhibition, while some of Chopin's pre-
ludes were played, the piano screen
was flooded with successive rhythmical
waves of harmonious color from simple
to complex, glowing scarlet, gold deep
.ening to orange, exquisite half-tones
in mauve, grays, browns and turquoise
blue. A waltz Of Dvorak's showed the
higher possibilities of lovely complex
ity, and the overture to "Rienzi'' was
strikingly beautiful in half-tones of col
or Everybody agreed that Mr.. RiviIs-
ton has provided a new joy for Gull
tured humanity, and everybody was
equally unanimous that the evening
was very fatiguing, for the rapidity
with which color ousted color from the
retina produced a painful effect upon
all observers.

ably the only woman in Europe en-
gage in the business. She visited one
of the Berlin breweries not long ago
and after tasting its products she stated
that her own beer was not much in

he pronounced it excellent and not in

Feat of a Wire-WOund Gun.

"That's big piece" said the man in
military trousers and sweater, who
was experimenting the transfer of a
great ten-inch gun from the wharf to
Fort Hamilton. But the world has
never known what was accomplished
with the Andrews wirewound gun.
When we went down to prove the gun
we all thought it would be failure.
We set the target, ten-inch nickel
steel plate, {; mile from the gun. The
missile smashed the plate, went
through twelve feet of solid pine lum-
Der behind it. then through seventeen
feet of sand bank, then travelled three
miles down the shore, ricochetted on a
cliff. went six miles out to sea on an
angle, cut the bottom out a big three
masted schooner. and sank her where
she lay. The newspapers, of course,
obtained the fact that the schooner was
sunk. but, say, we concealed from the
press the real performance of the gun.
1t was too big thing to let out"

There can be no doubt that in these
times Of dynamite and submerged tor
pedo boats battle ship will have to use
extraordinary caution in the vicinity of
a hostile port. Intense vigilance must
be exercised at night to discover the ap-
proach of torpedoes, and the crew will
get very little rest under such circum-
stances. When Lieut.. Gushing sunk the
Confederate ram Albermarle he stole
past the river picket boat in the dark
ness and drove his boat over the Gordon
of logs with which the Albermarle was
surrounded. The wire netting and
searchlights now used are by no means
certain protection against torpedo
boats: The latest experiments in our
navy indicate that they are dangerous
to startling degree.

This Bluff Worked.

A good story on the late S. s. Merrill
cropped out in a certain law office yes
terday afternoon, while a knot of at,
torneys We're commenting upon the
portraits of prominent Milwaukeeans
in a recent work Oh Milwaukee. Mr.,
Merrill's likeness was reached when
one of the gentlemen, in relating anec-
dotes concerning the railroad builder,
told of the trouble he had with a certain
conductor on the ST. Paul road.
Mr.. Merrill had discharged the con-
ductor half a dozen times and quite
regularly reinstated him. On this par
ticular occasion the conductor had been
summoned and entered the room in
fear and trepidation. He found the
general manager glowering with rage.
and was speedily Informed that his
services were not needed longer, and
that this time his dismissal was Tor
good.
whats the matter this timer" VEN
tured the culprit.
'Tts this" blurted the general mana
ger: "I'm tired of listening to stories
of my conductors buying $1,000 dia-
monds OH ST, 900 salaries
Il suppose this is the diamond you
refer to, Mr.. Merrill,' returned the
uuick-wittcd conductor, pointing to a
small headlight in his shirt front.
II suppose so,'' assented the irate
manager.
WELL" continued the conductor,
calmly, as he proceeded to unfasten the
gem, you may have it for ST."
That settled the conductor with Mr..
Merrill. and he never received another
reprimand. Mr.. Merrill used to relate
the incident at times, never for a mo-
ment suspecting the bluff and that the
stone had really cost 1900 as he had
heard.-Milwaukee Wisconsin.
