Mr.. Editor: Since you have been
good enough TO entruSt ne with the
task OF inditing an answer TO the
above communication. ! viii .nd-avor
to do so according to my lights. The
question proposed by your CORE
spondent possesses peculiar interest
just now, inaSmuch as The Hague
has become the cynOSure of the whole
civilized world as being the rendez-
vous Of the Peace Conference, the out
come of whose deliberations may so
materially affect the welfare ot all
mankind in the future.
To the best of my knowledge, then,
and disclaiming the least Iretensions
to being an authority on matters ap-
pertaining to the science OF philokOgy,
| contend that the reason for prefixing
the definite article in this instance
must be sought in the fast that the
word is not a proper name in the
usual acceptatiOn of the term, but
may perhaps more correctly be cIassi-
fed under the category OF descriptive
nouns. THE Hague, in plain English
means a hedge or ".haw''-i. &, all en-
closure or garden adjoining q dwell
ing. l believe it to be an admittedly
historical fact that the beautiful city
referred to was in early times the site
of hunting lodge, and a fayorite re-
sort of the Counts of Holland. As a
consequence, the Dutch gave the place
the name of IS Craven Hage," liter
ally translated, the Counts hedge or
haw" Afterwards IL was changed to
Den Haag' by way OF abbreyiatiCn;
the Germans term il Der Eaag," and
the French La Hage." The word is
probably of Scandinavian derivation,
the Danish version being "Hauge.
The practice of preixirg the def
mite article to geographical nanes is
a pretty common one. AS most of
your readers are aware Sahara is
simply a slight corruption Of an Ara
bian word synonymous with desert "
When we speak of The Sahara" the
word is used specifically, and rs take
it, in order to emphasize the fact that
the great African desert is meant, just
as we know that the appellation The
Channel" is given to that vast water
way which separates the British Isles
from the Continent of Europe, and
that "The Peninsula" is understood u
signify the Iberian Peninsula, com
prising Spain and Portugal.
All of which, Mr.. Editor, IS respect
fully submitted.

PHOTOGRAPHY IN DARKNESS.

\ curious experiment Is To hand
from Paris. where VI. L. Bon claims To
have photographed metallic substances
in complete darkness without the aid
of the Mays. He shuts up parafiin
lamp in a box of sheet iron, having on
one side a window filled with black
paper Next to this window ne places
wooden box containing the key or
other object To- be photographed. and
on the side furthest away from the
window a screen covered with sulphide
of zinc, which has previously been eX-
posed TO n strong light. At the end OF
a short time, although the operation
may take place at night, or in a room
artificially rendered entirely dark. he
sees the image of the object to be pho
tographed appear upon the screen in
luminous outline. His theory Is that
every lamp emits, besides luminous
rays, rays of what he calls black
light" and that these are capable OF
penetrating all known substances eN-
cept lamp black.

Near Death by Drowning.

SOLOMON, Aug. 22.-Grandms
Smith, mother Of 0. N. Smith, start
ed out last evening to feed the chick
ems. In her walk she became be-
wildered and when found at 1890 D.
m. was hanging to the sunhowers,
over the steep bank Of the river south
OF the old mill. For nearly an hour
before her discovery the people had
heard her calling but supposed it to
be the boys playing. A distinct call
for help started number Of men in
search Of the voice, and with great
difficulty they pushed through sun
flowers 10 feet high and finally found
her clinging to tho bank. 1t is the
supposition that she was standing on
the bank when it gave away throwing
her into the water. The growth Of
weeds along the waters edge was
the only thing that saved her from a
frightful death. A bruised back is
the only i'll result felt by her this
morning Her son Oliver was hunt.
ing through town for her when the
rescuing party brought her home.

HORSES IN DEMAND.
Market Shows Great Improvement
Over Previous Years.

The consignment Of 1900 range
horses to this market resulted in
what is considered somewhat Of a
sensational event, inasmuch IS they
were all disposed Of in carload lots
at an average price Of $35 per
head. They were Wyoming branded
horses and ranged in age from foals
to five-year-olds, and some Of them
weighed around 1900 lbs. Dealers
took those that were Of services BILE

breeders Gazette, Aug. l6.
The above shows conclusively the
change that has taken place in the
horse industry within q very few
years. Two years ago these horses
would not have brought freight in
the same market. Instead Of being
in the horseless age, as was predicted
some time since, it now looks as
though we were about to experience
time of extreme activity in the
horse industry, which is but natur-
al result Of neglect Of this branch Of
farming. Those who have kept
steadily breeding good horses will
certainly reap a merited reward.
When the masses neglect any branch
of the live stock industry it is always
good time for conservative men to
engage in it more extensively, while
all branches are subject to depres-
sions, the result is invariably salts
factory to the man who has the nerve
to stay with it.
