these out to their needs they pro-
nounce them in different tones" each
tone" giving an entirely altered mean
ing In some parts of the Empire as
many as eight tones" are in use, Civ
ing eight Specifications to words
whose actual pronunciation is ether
wise the same. No wonder the Euro
pean ear jibs at the taski-ths
ninth meaning Of Greek particle Is
nothing to the eighth tone" of a Chi
nese noun. Chinese has no grammar,
as we know grammar According to
its position in a sentence a word is
either noun, adjective, verb, or ad-
verb-the word itself remains the
same. In this respect Chinese is a
baby" among languages But, like
SO many other things that the Celes-
tial has invented and left as he in
vented, the Chinese tongue has never
grown up. And yet, with all its draw
backs, the literary men Of the Flow
cry Land have contriyed to make 1t
serve their purpose. But almost all
the classical philosophical, and histori-
cal works of the Chinese are written
in the queer characters that only mean
something to the eye, and cannot be
made to mean anything to the ear.
Where the Chinese nguage-written
or spoken-came from nobody knows,
any more than they know where the
original Chinese themselves came
from. But it is probable that the
primary Chinese characters existed s.
900 years ago pretty much as they do
today. They are written in vertical
columns, which begin on the right Of
the paper. The instrument is a brush
and e thick solution of Indian ink is
the medium-the paper the familiar
fiimsy material made froA rice straw.
oddly enough, though tna Manchus-
who are the ruling race in China-as
well as their Tartar relatives, the
Mongols, speak a language related 70
the Chinese, they have a proper al
phabet, derived indirectly from the
West. It has borrowed from the Sy-
riac, which came from the Phoenician
alphabet. And the Roman letters Of
today owe more than little to the
Phoenician. SO the Tartar writing
is at one end of the chain that which
was derived from the Aramaic,
stretches to our own A B c. The Tar
tars owe their alphabet to the Chris
tian missionaries known as the Nes-
torians. But that is another story

CHINA'S QUEER BOOKS
LANGUAGE WITHOUT ALPHA
BET is CURIOUS.
The Written Language Cannot Be Read
Aloud So That Listener May Com
prehend It-Eighth "Tonoy of n Chinese
Noun.


: A language without an alphabet
sounds sufficiently curious. especially
when 1t is added that it is a written
language and the medium of communi-
cation throughout that enormous ex-
panse of territory, the Chinese EN-
pire. Not only has the Chinese Ian
guage no alphabet, but it is actually
true that in its purest form, though
it could, literally speaking, be read
aloud, the sounds would have abso-
lutely no significance whatever to a
listener. To the reader, of course, the
written or printed page would con-
vey all that the author wished il to.
But in order to convey its meaning,
say, to a blind person, the reader
would be compelled to find his own
words, chosen from the spoken Chi
nese language. And his translation"
would be much more roundabout than
the written version Some idea of
this singular fact may be gathered
from the estimate that the fable of
The Fox and the Grapes" which
can be told in 100 English words, could
be narrated in eighty-hve Chinese
written characters. To tell the story
in spoken Chinese would. require 16s
words. Written Chinese is practically
uniform throughout tho Empire. and
has hardly altered during the entire
course Of Chinese history. The spok-
en- language, on the other hand, is
constantly changing, and prevails in
several dialects, some of which are
quite unintelligible to Chinese from
the different provinces. But even the
purest form Of spoken Chinese is al
most incomprehensible to a foreigner,
except by the most arduous study, and
after years Of application the Euro
.pean continues to make the most lud-
ferrous blunders. The reason for this
is that the Chinese tongue has but 500
to 1000 elementary words. which form
the base of their language-as the al
phabet does Of ours. In order to spin

that the excavations in Italy have

The tennessee Rivers Grsat Change
Several years ago, members OF the
Geological survey suggested that IN
former times the Tennessee river, In
stead OF Joining the Ohio. as at pres
ent flowed into the Gulf Of Mexico
through the channels OF the Coosa and
Alabama rivers. This conclusion has
recently been coTroborated in singu-
lar manner by Mr.. Charles 7. Simpson
OF the Smithsonian institute. The orig
iual suggestion was based on the ap-
pearanees of the land. but Mr. Simp-
sons confirmation depends upon the
distribution of a particular form OF
fresh-water mussel which. although 1t
is peculiar to the Tennessee river, Is
also found in the Coosa and the Ala
bama. AS these creatures cannot
traverse the land. the inference is that
formerly the waters OF the Tennessee
flowed southwark into tho streams
above named.

In recent lecture at the Royal in
stitute, London, Sir Andrew Noble
mentioned that in experiments with
high power explosives used in guns
a chronoscope had been employed
which registered the velocity of the
projectile at 16 successive points be-
fore 1t left the bore. 1t was pos
sible with this apparatus to register
time to the millionth OF a second. In
the older experiments, where the We
locity did not exceed 1900 or 1000 feet
per second, the projectile recorded its
time by knocking down a series of
steel triggers projecting into the
bore. But with yelocities Of $500 feet
and more per second. the trigger, in
stead Of dropping, frequently plowed
a groove in the projectile, and another
device was necessary.
