followed the treatment adopted. and u
was not until some weeks had elapsed
that the symptoms entirely passed

In the course Of time he noticed a

From the London Truth a queer
race was run IN South Africa a few
weeks ago. For some time the question
OF the srocd OF an ostrich has been a
subject Of some discussion. and a noted
oyclist determined TO test his speed
against the powerful bird. A smooth
course was selected and the chase be-
gan. The who6lman drove the pedals
around with great velocity aud came
abreast oi the bird. No sooner dld Il

Usher, q. Hoepll OF Milan Is bringing

interest and rarity which bear upon the
question OF the naming of our country
Most important OF these Is little

between 1905 and 1919. It's authorship
Is attributed though on insufficient
authority. to Henrlcus Loyitus Glar-
canus. a geographcr and mapmaker OF

memorable as the FIRST book In which
the name America Is formally given to

foreigners and this viii be accom-
pllshod by the use Of the Cosmo-Roman

Robert w. Mason, a young New Yorker.

sionary Training institute at 600 Sth

Young men who wish to labor In the

occurred 10 him that II would be a
potent aid 20 such persons II an alpha
bet could be invented which diiIercc
less widely from their native Ian
guagcs. After two years Of study he
invented what he calls a Cosmo- Roman
alphabet OF fifty characters with an
