The Word Dollar.
From The New YORK rrIbnne

From the New York Tribune.
at is remarkable how we accept name
without the faintest idea or care as to how
or where it originated, said John Pardee,
of Chicago, at the Hoffman House yester-
day. For example, take our dollar
How many people do you suppose ever in
quire or care whence the name came? IL
is Of German origin, according to the pre-
ponderance of authority The coin was
first minted at the town of Joachimsthal
in Germany, and received the name Of a
Joachims thaler, which, for the sake Of
breyity, was shortened into tha.er. In
Spain it was called the dalero, which is the
dollar that Spanish conquest brought to
America. When we established system
Of coinage for this country we adopted the
old Spanish pillar sometimes called milled
on account Of its milled rim-dollar as our
unit. This coin was called the pillar dol
lar, from the pillars of Hercules, the two
promontories facing each other across the
Straits of Gibraltar, the emblem of the pill
lars appearing on the coin. The dollar
sign is said to be corruption of the ser
penis twining around these pillars, as they
appeared on the old Spanish dollar An
other authority states that the name comes
from the talent of the Middle Ages, and
that the dollar sign came from certain of
the old pieces Of eight Across the figure
8 on this particular coin two straight lines
supposed to represent the pillars of Her
cules-were cut, and this was the origin
Of the dollar sign.

A Witty Red Man.

In ''Travels in New England and New
York President Dwight, Of Yale College,
tells good story of Indian wit and friend
ship.
In the early days Of Litchfeld, Conn.
an Indian called at the tavern and asked
the landlady for food, frankly stating that
he had no money with which to pay for
it. She refused him harshly, but white
man who sat by noted the red man ; half
famished state and offered to pay for his
supper.
The meal was furnished, and the Indian,
his hunger satisfied, returned to the fire
and told his benefactor story.
'.You know Bible r said the redskin.
The man assented.
"Well, said the Indian, 1.-THE Bible
say, God made world, and then He took
him and look at him and say, He good,
very good. He made light, and He took
him and look at him and say He good,
very good. Then He made dry land and
water and sun and moon and grass and
trees, and took him and look at him and
say, He good, very good. Then He
made beast and birds and fishes, and took
him and look at him and say, He good,
very good.
''Then He made man, and took him
and look at him and say, He good, very,
very good. Then He make woman, and
took him and look at him, and He no dare
say one such word y
This last conclusion was uttered with a
meaning glance at the landlady.

The Biggest steamship Yet.

The three largest steamships afoat are
the Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse, Of the
North German Lloyd liie, $50 feet in
length; the Deutschland, of the Hamburg
American line, CSC feet in length, and the
Oceanic, of the White Star line, 704 feet.
Two of these vessels are flyers. Both Of
the German ships have beaten all rivals in
other companies, while the Deutschland
has beaten the Kaiser. The Oceanic has
not broken a record.
For some time there has been talk of a
new marine monster to be built by the
Harhburg-America line The figures are
now at hand, for the contract has been
given out in Belfast. This vessel is to be
$50 feet long, with IS feet beam and fitted
to carry 20OU passengers and II, 900 tons
Of dead load, but the new vessel is not to
be flyer. She is to cross the ocean at an
average speed Of eighteen knots, which is
ordinary.
II has been contend by various steam
ship companies that profits were to be
found in these immense vessels with mod
crate speed rather than in the ocean grey
hounds. The American line Is building
four great ships today to make the ordinary
time which this projected monster is ex-
pected to attain. OF course, there are
plenty Of passengers who do not mind an
extra day or two on the water if they can
find accommodations; but there always will
be certain number anxious to cross at the
very highest rate Of speed, and willing To
pay the largest prices for that speed. For
the present it would seem, however, that
we are to have no attempts to beat records
already established The American line
is not seeking the highest speed The
English lines are all content with moder-
alton. 1t has remained for the two Ger
man lines to beat everything afoat, and,
having beaten everything, they are resting
upon their laurels. Otherwise, this $50
foot monster would be built for record
breaking.
Captain Randle. long commander in
the American line service, lately Of the st.
Louis, long ago advanced the idea that the
time would come when we should have
steamships 1000 feet in length. That
time apparently is approaching, but the
rivalry Is for bulk rather than for great
speed.

The Most Valuable Spot on Earth.


Values vary. A writer in the Century
has it that ''probably the most valuable
spots on the face of the earth are the four
corners where Wall street touches Broad,
and the two where it meets Broadway,
in New York city. A million and half
dollars were paid not long since for five
lots on Broadway opposite Bowling Green,
$500, 900 each In 1929, one of these
same lots was sold for SO, 800. A year
ago lot eighty mine by two hundred and
twelve feet, on the corner of Liberty and
Nassau streets, brought 81, $50, 900
These values are for the land alone.
Royal palaces, the mansions of miIionaires,
the wealth of Golconda and the mines Of
Klondike, all represent unknown and mu-
nifcent money values But none of these
quadrupled represent the import, the in
trinsic worth, blazoned upon the life insur-
ance policies held today awaiting their
mission among the survivors of their own
ems Who can calculate the significance
Of these promises to pay when death claims
its own? They outsbine ''the wealth Of
Ormus and of Ind. y
