DISTANCE AND SPEED.

tionably q measure Of distance, as when
we say that ship has Travelled 1000
knots, where we merely wish to Indicate
the distance covered without any refer.
ence to the speed; but when the term Is
qualified by statement of time, whether
written or understood, it becomes u
measure of speed.
Strictly speaking, when used to indi-
cate speed, the term should never be
written without a qualifying phrase
Custom, however. has sanctioned the oc-
casiona1 use Of knots without the
qualifying ian hour" Our own practice,
says the Scientific American, is to use
the abbreviated form only when the full
form 'knots an hour" occurs in the con-
text.
Parallel cases are to be found in the
description of the velocity of guns or
the speed of railway trains, where the
phrase velocity of 5000 feet" Is used,
meaning 5000 feet per second, OF where
train is spoken of as running at
forty -mile speed, meaning that 1t Is
running at a speed of forty miles an
hour. The tendency toward abbreviatiou
is strong In this busy age, however much
the pursuits may depiore It, and this ten
dency Is nowhere more manifest than in
the English language, especially as used
In America.
1t Is not improbable that before the
next century is far advanced the term
"kECtS, where the context is such as to
show that it cannot refer merely to dis
lance, will be in universal use TO desig-

Mischievous people who know Detective
John Christensen's zeal In following out
Mayor Kiefer's orders respecting gam.
bling resorts are sending him about on
all kinds of wild hunts for the tigers lair.
One of these individuals gave the Mid
get Detective" a hot one" last Saturday.
Meeting Detective Christensen on the
street the wise guy buttonholed him
into a doorway and told him the toughest
poker game in town was running In
certain block. Into the detectives willing
ear he poured a story of fiim-fammins,
big mitt tricks, marked cards and cold
decking that amazed the detective. Nc
one could get In where this game was
run, the "steerer' explained, without the
password and key, but the "steerer Of
fered to furnish these so he could RAID
the place. So Detective Christensen
sought out a brick block on Seventh
street near Sibley. After careful re-
connoiter, he carefully assembled to the
third floor, as he had been directed. Room
No. was the one that the key opened,
the 'steerer'' had confided. Creeping to
the door, Detective Christensen tried to
insert his big brass key. 1t might have
unlocked the cells at the central station.
but never the tiny lock on the door. Try
ing the knob, he was surprised to find the
door opening. Jumping inside, with the
declaration on his lips that all within
were under arrest, he was suddenly
checked in his raid" The room was
empty save, for the contents of severai
clothes lines bearing a miscellaneous as
sortment of feminine wear. The block Is
largely occupied by women who use Room
No. as a drying room on wash days.
Detective Christensen left the building In
deep thought.

ROMAN COOKING.

What curiosities those old Romans
must have beeny' was the remark made
by a man in a story, as he rose from
a table where he and his friends had, by
way Of experiment, been regaling- them
selves with meal a fancienne. One
agrees with the remark, for Roman
dishes, with the exception of few wou q
hardly appeal to the modern palate. No
doubt ''salaeaeaby" tasted nice to tbs
diners out, but one doubts it.

time of Tiberius. may have suited the
fastidious taste of the gourmets of that
might possibly raise storm of we'll
bred protest If it were offered at a party
in Chicago. The first of the above
named dishes was, so far as can be gath
cred, the invention of certain Apicus
Coelius. He was suffered to live during
the reign Of the emperor Tiberius ana
held the position of concocter of new
dishes to the court. He was the Boeton
of the Romans, and wrote cookery
book, the manuscript of which is still
extant, it's title being Ode Re Coquin-

many millions, which he spent entirely

And such eating. tool The following is
the recipe for ''salacacaby:" Bruise in
a mortar parsley seed, dried mint, dried
pennyroyal, ginger, rue, coriander, stoned
raisins, mustard seed and a few boned
anchovies. Pound them well and add
salt, oil, wine, pepper, vinegar and
honey, the Roman equivalent for sugar.
Stir these until they are thoroughly

dressing, so to speak. To continue: In

warm place for three days. At the end
of this time pour soup over 1t, gar

did not end here.
Almost any dish which had to recon-
mend it rarity, costliness, indigestibility
and, to our way of thinking, repusive>

epicure. And if he were unable to make
1t costly any other way, he would add
powdered precious stones or gold dust.

A SERIES OF COLLISIONS.
One Steamer Wreck. Damage Amounts to
Thousands of Pounds.

tBy Ine Associated 1TeSS.J
Liverpool, Oct. 13-A singular series of
accidents occurred in the Mersey today.
The Norwegian steamer Veritas collided
with the Leyland Line steamer Devonia,
from Boston October Bird. Unsuccessful
efforts were made to beach the Veritas
on the Cheshire shore, after which she
was towed over to the Liverpool side,
where the cable parted and she collided
with the steamer Earl of Powys causing
the latter to break from her mornings.
Thereupon both steamers drifted down the
river and the Veritas crashed into two,
thick, iron booms stretched from the pier
at ST. Georges landing stage. Everything
above her deck was carried away and she
is now a submerged wreck. The Earl OF
Powys, while drifting smashed her boats,
lost her propeller and her crew leaped
upon the dock wall. The south end of the
landing stage was extensively injured.
The aggregate damage done will amount
to thousands of pounds.
