Extra" is an abused word. People say

by indicating that the thing so described
lies outside the sphere or quality named.
Thus, ''extra-judicial" does not mean more
than ordinary judicial, as though a judge
has dredged his conscience in giving an

he was lazy, he went into a drug store i'm

asked if anybody about the square had a

Yes, there was a machine In Mr.. So-and-

She replied that she never did any outside

The Westerner urged that she did not
seem very busy: that il was hot; that he
did not wish TO go all the way into Boston

PUZZLED OVER NAMES.
Some of the Difficulties Encountered
by Washington Scientists.

Washington Letter in New York Evening
Post.
The desirability of a wider popular ac-
quaintance with scientific names is re-
Vealed by the difficulties which the Scien-
tifc bureaus of the government have in
making themselves understood throughout
the wide expanse in which their ppblica-
glossary is necessary.
For example, the division of botany of
the Department of Agriculture recently Is
sued a bulletin on the "chavOte, a tropf-
cal vegetable. Most people Will ask, What
is it?" 1t is a vegetable known by twenty
eight more or less common colloquial
names. although it is not widely distrib-
uted. The English-speaking residents Of
New Orleans call it the "one-seeded GU
cumber;' the Porto Ricans call it 'tallote'
and 'tavote;' the British West indians
call il the vegetable pear" and so on. In
the opinion of the Department of Agricul-
ture this vegetable will in time become
familiar in the American kitchen. Paris
and London have begun TO import it from
Algeria, and il is well known in many
semi-tropical countries. It weighs about
half a pound. is green in color, and re-
sembles a summer squash. 1t may be boiled
and served with cheese or fried like a sweet
potato. Its flavor resembles thar of the
chestnut, with some suggestion of the egg
plant. Its roots, which produce something
resembling yams. may be eaten, as may
the sprouts, which taste a little like as

perts in the Biological Survey are usually
unable TO tell what bird is meant in the

are some obvious objections to this term

that for several years past tests have
been made in different parts of the

the sugar beet and the beet sugar in

seems all attempts have been barren of
results. na
While nanv Of the experiments made
have been quite satisfactory, other
conditions have not been very inviting
to capitalists or beet sugar companies.

with very good results, and especially
upon the Daily ranch, where it was the
