THE LANGUAGE OF CRIME.
Some of the Terms Are Very Inter
esting.

Some of the Terms Are Very Inter-
esting.
Every language has a syntax pecul-
lar to itself, but in the patois of the
criminal no attempt is made of chang
ing anything but the lexicon, says the
Popular Science Monthly. 1t bears the
same resemblance to the parent lam
guage that a pile of cogwheels does to
a watch. They are not a watch, but
neither are they a new machine. Thus
we must regard the argot only as a
dialect in which debased terms replace
the words of the parent tongue, in
which the innate laziness of the GRIM
inal has effaced all words of any length
and has simplified the pronunciation
anything but an elementary combina-
ton of sounds.
Let us examine some of these trans
formations and synonyms.
The general tendency of the criminal
to reduce the abstract to the concrete
to denote the substantive by one of its
attributes, is shown very clearly in his
synecdochical phraseology. Thus a
purse is a leather; a street car is a
short, comparing it's length with a rail-
road car; a handkerchief is a wipe,
and a pair of shoes a pair of kicks.
Again, some of the terms appear to
be purely arbitrary and were it not
that the creative power is absent in
criminals as in women l should not
hesitate to state it as a fact. But it
seems wiser to conclude merely that
the origin of these terms has become
a fact. To suppose that they were Gre
ated would be in too distinct contra
diction to all o%btainable evidence, in
direct though it may be. Such express
sions are to kip, meaning to sleep; to
spiel, to make a speech; jerve. a waist
coat pocket; thimble, a watch; to do a
lam, meaning to run.
Some of the expression are very de-
scriptive. To run from a police officer
is to do a hot foot. A person who is al
ways listening to other peoples con
versation is called a rubberneck. The
word push, meaning a crowd, is occa.
sionally seen in the newspapers. To be
arrested is to be pinched; to be con
victed is to fall. To refuse a persons
appeal is to give him the marble heart
Such expressions require no explana,
ton.
The Dupuyer acantha. [volume] (Dupuyer, Mont.) 1894-1904, 1897-07-29

A late circular issued from the Har-
ward College observatory includes in
it's ccoun the most important re-
cent discoveries the spectrum of a star
known as Zeta Puppis, says the New
York Sun, its remarkable character be-
ing unlike that of any other yet OBJ
tanned. the continuous spectrum con
tanning three systems of lines-frst,
the dark hydrogen lines, such as are
found in stars of the first type; sec
ond, W bright bands of lines, which
may be identical with the adjacent
lines in spectra of the fifth type, and,
third, a series of very faint lines. But
the most important features of this
spectrum is a new element, not found
on the earth or in any other stars, an
element which, though similar to hy-
drogen, is yet distinctly different from
it,; just what it is or by what name to
call it astronomers are undecided, the
marked popularity being noted that
it produces a vibration systematic rath-
err than accidental, of three-ten-mil-
lionths of a millimeter, and the action
of which can be traced only on a spe-
cially prepared Photographic plate.
Another extraordinary discovery noted
is a new variable star, in the constel-
lation Crux, with a period of about a
year.
