Professor Hyatt In an article on the nau-

that the leading characteristic of parellel-
ism In all genetic series of nautiloids Is a
tendency toward closer coiling and greater
involution in the more specialized forms OF

The scientific reporter on our daily paper
writes up an account of a runaway acci-
dent in which the driver was thrown out
and broke a leg. He puts 1t this way: THE
unfortunate individual was projected trans
versely from the vehicle, fracturing the
tibia and fbula and luxating the tiblo-tar-
sci articulation" 1t was probably the Sumo
reporter who described a farmers weed
killing machine as an "aberuncator." All
this is about on q par with the barber
whose advertisement reads:

Nowhere do we find bigger words used
than in medical science, and nowhere is
there better reason for them. but there are
times when it does seem as il fewer syl-
tables might fill the bill. For instance, a
physician invents a new surgical int:u-
ment. but what earthly reason Is there for
describing IT as a new apparatus for the
armamentarium Of the clinician?" Another
writer wishes to say that cancer Is an I'M
natural growth. He takes a long breath
and does so as follows: Carcinoma arises
from any subepithelial proliferation by
which epithelial cells are Isolated and made
to grow abnormally." Doctor Edmund An

a number of such instances. among them
the following definition by an insanity ex-
pert: 1.-THE prodomic delirum is a quasi

Tho big rail-breaking machine of the st
Louis Transit Company-the invention. by
the way. of st. Louis ~people-has been
doing considerable more work than usual
the past two weeks. Il has torn up most
OF the track Of the Broadway Cable line
south OF Chestnut street, and has also torn
up most Of the 'east-bourd'' track of the
Chouteau venue lire from Jefferson ave-
nue to Grand avenue. All OF the Broadway
track, from one end to the other. will be
torn UP and the road made IN electric one,
with more space between the tracks so as
to permit Of the use OF larger cars. The
Chouteau avenue track is being torn UP
for the purpose Of putting in new ties and
now and much heavier rails from Missis-
sippd venue west to the railroad tracks at
vandeventer Station.

not that It is hydrogen monoxide elevated

But there are SO many scientists OF the
highest rank who take delight in these big
words. Take Herbert Spencer's remarkable
definition Of evolution, quoted in the first
paragraph of this article, for instance. MIR.
Spencer's language is perhaps very scholarly
and all that. but. for any one to under
stand what he means. it is necessary to
read the first 400 pages of his book. The
late George John Romanes was another
scientist who fairly reveled in big words.
He played with them, juggled them into
sentences, and the average reader cannot
! help lose himself in the bewildering maze.

not do all the work, by any means. 1t only

breaks them into pieces of from six to ten

the work OF building the track is proceeded

form the walls Of the long caverns through
which massive cables have been dragged
for thousands OF miles will be left buried
in the ground, and there will be nothing to
indicate that they are there.
Not only is all the Broadway cable track
to be torn up, the conduits destroyed, and
new tracks laid for electric cars, but the
Same work is to be done on the Olive

This work will be done later in the summer,
after the Broadway line is completely

IDEAL COVER FOR THE FEET.
Advantages of Moccasins Over the Or
 dlnary Shoes or Boots.


 From Harper's Magazine: The moe easin is the most rational and com foftable of all footwear. In moccasins the feet have full play; they can bend and grasp; there is nothing to ehafe them or impede circulation. In moe casins one can move like an acrobat crossing slender and slippery logs. climbing trees or passing with ease and security along dizzy trails on the mountain side where slip might mean sure destruction. The feet do not stick fast 1n the mud. in the north, where the mercury is far below zero and no civilized boot will protect the feet rom freezing, the savage suffers no in- convenience. His moccasins, stuffed With dried grass, let the blood course freely. The precipitation may freeze on the nay in solid lump of ice, but the feet remain warm and dry. The buck skin moccasin. Indian tanned with deer's brains and wood smoke always drys soft after a wetting. Tn autumn, when all the leaves and tWigs are dry as finder, man wearing shoes makes a noise in the forest like a troop of cavalry, but in moccasins he can move swiftly through the woods with tEa stealth or panther. The feet are not bruised, for after enjoying for a time the freedom of natural covering, these hitherto blundering members become like hands, and feel their way through the dark like those of a cat, avoiding obstacles as though gifted with spe- eial sense. Best of all the moccasin Is light Inexperienced sportsmen and soldiers affect high-topped laced boots with heavy soles and hobnails, imag- ming that these are most serviceable for rough weather But these boots weigh between four and five pounds, while a pair of thick moosehide moe- easins weigh only eleven ounces In marching ten miles a man wearing the clumsy boots lifts twenty tons more shoe leather than if he wore moccasins
