Some Curious Instances Of How They

Some amusing instances of translators'
misunderstanding are mentioned by the
London Daily News. An Italian paper
not long ago turned Kipling's absent
Minded Beggar" into Distracted Men
dlcant." A foot-note to the same YER
sion explained ''son Of Lambeth pub
hGan" as reference to Mr.. Kruger! An
other Italian editor, who translated
passage from an English paper about a
man who had killed his wife with
poker, added an ingenious foot-note to
say: I'VE do not know with certainty
whether this thing, 'pokero,' be domes-
TIC or surgical .instrument.''. :. In the
French version Of one Of SCOTS novels,
q; Welsh rabbit has to be dealt with.
The translator, never having met with
that article of food, naturally turned it
into "un lapin de: Gales and in d foot
note note explained THAT the peculiarly deli,
clous flavor Of the rabbits of Wales Gre
ated large demand for them in Scot
land, whittier they were exported in bulk
that would compare with the trade of
Ostend. The desperate expedient Of the
French translator Of Cooper's "Spy,"
who had to explain how a horse could
be hitched Ito locust" is also worth
recalling. He had never heard of a To-
Gust tree, and rendered the word by
,isauterelle, or grasshopper. Feeling
that this needed some explanation, he
appended a foot-note explaining that
grasshoppers grew to gigantic size in
the United States, and that it was the
custom to place stuffed specimen at the
door Of every considerable mansion for
the convenience Of visitors, who hitched
their horses to it.

DR.. Mcnamara, in a lecture recently
delivered before the Royal College Of
Surgeons in London, supplemented the
Darwinian theory Of mans descent from
the ape by explaining why the latter can
not talk. 1t has been proved, he said,
that man and the anthropoid ape come
from the same stock, but the ape cannot
talk because it lacks the nerve center
that in man controls the faculty Of
speech. The anterior lobes of the apes
brain. containing the part that controls
speech, are defective, because the skull
