WAYFARER'S NOTEBOOK
Nan from Madagascar

When Christy. the full blOoded native
Of Madagascar, was given a position in
the dining room Of the Clayton House
much excitement followed. His ways
and language indicated that he was of
another cline. but his face shows the
regular dark brown Of the genuine
African. His language is a mixture of
French English and African. which.

man, manages to interpret Christy's
lingo. however.
He is a willing worker" said the
chef to the Wayfarer, but it was some
time before the old walters became
accustomed to him. He was quiet and

walters undertook to impose upon him.

ORIGINAL SPEECH.
In All Probability II Consisted ExcIu-
siveIy OF vowel sounds and
Hnd No Consonnnts.

The original speech, the true prime
val tongue of man, was quite unlike
any language we have ever heard; yet
we have all the tongues of to-day,
saws the New York Sun. The primeval
language was n vowel language al
together; il had no consonants, or con-
sonants, or contacts as we ought to
call them at all. Its words consisted
of vowel sounds following each other,
repeated or varied-or words like
aeaca, aoao, ala, auau, aeoia, iaua, ioio,
ouou, uaua, ueue-all of which, may
say in passing, are taken from a Ian
guage in use to-day. The sentences
were intermittent streams of vowels,
each stream held on as long as the
speakers breath allowed or whim die
tated. When all literature was re-
cited, the same consideration, the ca
pacity of The lungs, determined the
length of the bardic line; so we have
our shlokas, our heXametcrs, our
AleXandrines, and so forth, each n
lung-full of verse; in the primeval
tongue it was likewise, but the SEN
tences were vowels only.
There are about ten or n dozen pure
vowels to go upon, and vowel words
may run up to five syllables, so we have
very considerable fund to draw on
for our vowel streams. And these
streams of vowel speech corresponded
to, and expressed, streams of emotion
or feeling, rather than descriptions OF
concrete objects. For we hardly realize
how terribly overladen with material
trifles our life is to-day, and therefore
what great demands we make on Ian.
guage for concrete words. But our
eXclamations, each of which indicates
n single emotion, tend to remain pure
vowel sounds even at the present day.

Here Rev. DR.. Harcourt made grim

GIRLS LAUGH AT RED TAPE
land Invade II Government Build
ing In Spite of Protest

At Washington the other day 25 stu.
dents from girls seminary in New
England state forced their way into
the state, war and navy buildings
after hours, pushing aside the remon.
strating watchman by sort of wedge
which strongly suggested football
practice or knowledge.
The girls arrived after the two
o'clock closing time, and, being told
by the officials they were too late to
visit, were about to leave. One of
the number in the outer edge of the
bunch took command and gave a short,
sharp order. Push him aside now"
That was obeyed instantly. They had
been grouped in sort of "V' in front
of the doorway, and as they swept
through it, those in the rear with
their hands on the shoulders of the
girls in front, they almost brushed the
grizzled old veteran off his feet and
left him so dazcd that he did not even
demonstrate when they laughed at his
discontinue.
No official report was made of this
violent infraction of the rules, but the
watchman evidently thought the fair
trespassers were sufficiently pun
ished in that the warship models
which they said was one of the special
objects of their visit have not yet beoI
returned from the Paris exposition.

Teaching Parrots by Phonograph.

A bird fancier in London is using a
photograph to teach parrots how to
talk. He educates about 40 birds a
month by this method entirely. The
parrots classroom is divided up into
little compartments, which are kept
dark. Each bird is placed in separate
compartment, and two or three times
day phonograph is left with it. The
machine is automatic and will repeat
a sentence or number of sentences
over and over again for hours, so that
the birds very soon learn toimitate the
weird mechanical voice that comes out
of the darkness.

THE ISLE GETS SMALLER.
Something Interesting About shrink
age of the Island of Great
Britain.

With regard to the cast coast a
sorry story has to he told. The county
of Yorkshire, for instance, from Brid-
lington to Spurn Head, has been disap-
pearing, it is calculated, at an average
rate of six feet year. 1t is said that
careful observation of certain 12-
mile stretch shows that the cliffs 40
feet high have been eaten away by the
waves for 1872 feet in 40 years, says
Good Words. 1t is, however, at Spurn
Head that the greatest ravages have
taken place.
In Edward Is time the village of Ra-
venspur, a seaport near Spurn Head,
sent more than one member to parlia-
ment; in 1899 and 1471 Henry ". and
Edward w., respectively, landed there,
but very soon after the latter's visit
the entire town was swep- away by the
sea. To-day the village of Kilnsea
alone stands upon the head; the old
site of the village-once fair place on
hill, with fine old church, destroyed
by the waves, in 1S26--is now some
hundreds of yards below high-wate1 Ell
mark, and when New Kilnsea joins it
the sea and the Humber will not take
long to destroy the entire promontory
and make things very unpleasant at
Grimsby. The Blue Bell inn, half way
between the sea and the river bears a
stone upon which is inscribed: Built
in the year 1S47, 534 yards from the
sea-" When measured early last spring
the distance 334 yards.
