QUEEN MURDERS ENGLISH.

Many Errors Made In Her Address to
Parliament.
II Corbett were alive he could still
criticlse the English grammar of tho
Spce6h prepared for the sovereign at
the opening OF parliament, says the
London News. The queen adopts this
speech at her council on the advice Of
her ministers and 1t Is then given to
parliament as "her own words" II is
important to observe that the presi-
dent OF the council and the minister
who last saw the queen at Osborne In
reference to the speech read recently Is
also the head of the education depart
ment. Is there an inspector Of schools
under him who would pass reference
to expenditure which is beyond for
mer precedent? A question In Eng
Iish grammar might be set In the
schools from the following sentence:.
"A portion OF the Afridi tribes have
not yet accepted the terms offered to
them. but elsewhere the operations
have been brought to successful
close" In the reference to Crete we
read: THE difficulty OF arriving at
an unanimous agreement upon some
points has unduly protracted their de-
liberatIons q. e.. the deliberations Of
the powers). but I hope that these OBJ
stacles will before long be surmount-
ed" What obstacles? As the difii-
Guilty" is the subject In this sentence.
that obstacle" would appear to be
the appropriate phrase. Observe also
IAN unanimous agreement" AS In
these days Unanimous" is not pro-
nounced oonanfmous but younanimous,
ian" before the word is an abomina-
tfon in speech and in writing but lame
ly defended. like certain rhymes. as
satisfying to the eye although Offend
ing the ear. As for the literary style
OF the speech. 1t is not likely to be
used as model in the secondary
schools.

SNAKE OR Roor7

Curious PetrifnctIon Found In Ken
tucky.
A strange pctrifaction was recently
found in Kentucky which closely re-
sembles huge rattiesnake. Whether
or not 1t be that Is q question upon
which scientists are divided. The Gu
rloslty was found by Farmer John N.
Brown In the mountainous regions OF
Wayne county. When he came upon II
suddenly he thought II big live snake
and was frightened. But when he saw
his mistake he made an examination
and decided that the find was worth re-
moving to his yard. where II now lies.
Mr.. Brown describes II as follows, say
the San Francisco Examiner; ut has
head exactly like rattler's head,
but is little large In proportion TO
the body-not enough, however, to dis
pose OF the thory OF its having been n
snake. Its head measures eight inches
across In the widest place. II wns 2l
feet long when first got 1t, but relic
hunters have broken on and purloincd
about three feet OF Its tall II Ia 16
inches in circumference In the largest
part, OF It's body, which Is some nearer
the head than the tall. IL has the
natural taper of the snake: In fact, In
every particular It resembles n huge
rattler in coiled position" There
are number of others who agree with
Mr.. Brown In believing the petrifac-
tion to be a prehistoric snake, among
them Col. s. NJ. Duncan, well known
Kentucky historian. In opposition 20
this view Is one brought forth by Prof
II. X. Taylor. whose explanation Is un-
doubtedly correct. He maintains that
this wonderful snakc-like discovery is
valuable relic OF an age OF the world
about which little is known, but IL
petrified vegetable matter and not a
reptile. He claims 1t is the root OF
prehistoric tree called the stlmgarIa
a root which formed much Of the ma
terial out OF which coal beds were
