Is there a difference between grey

not feel that way let him not be
ashamed 10 speak up. Dr. Murray. the
editor Of the great new dictionary that
IS now only partly published. went
about In 1898 making an inquiry as 10
usage and found that opinions IN Lon
.on varied. The replies 70 his Ques-
tions showed that In Great Britain the
form grey Is the more frequent IN use.
despite the authority Of Dr. johnson
and later photographers. who give the
preference to gray. Many correspon-
dents said they had used the two forms
with a difference Of meaning OF appl-
cation, the distinction most generally
recognized being that grey denotes a
more delicate or lighter tint than gray.
Others considered the difference 10 be
that gray Is a warmer color. or that Il
has a mixture Of red or brown. The
Academys own opinion is that gray
has more OF sentiment grey more Of
color. which means that gray Is a sug-
gsstion rather than a positive outline.

James Lcathernan, deputy game
warden for Wyoming, who found q
waterfall 800 feet high, which he
named Lost Falls The falls were

easily cut to the place, and believes
it will become more popular than
Yellowstone Falls, owing to its at
tractive surroundings.

ISTHMIAN CANAL TREATY.

In agreeing TO insert in the pro-
