War on Rats and Mosquitoes.
IChicago Tribune.1


In their efforts to prevent and stamp
out various virulent diseases scientific
men are recommending that certain an
iinals and insects be exterminated For
a year or two relentless war has been
waged on mosquitoes, at least in the
pages Of medical and other scientific
journals. Mosquitoes. it is declared. are
responsible for malaria, yellow fever,
and other kindred diseases, and should
be destroyed. Now, on the authority Of
a Japanese scientist his government is
about TO propose a World wide war on
rats. They are blamed with spreading
the bubonic plague. and the japanese
savant declares that If the rodents be
exterminated the plague will disappear
With them. Within the last few weeks
both cats and dogs have been charged
With spreading the smallpox. and a
movement TO wipe out these animals
would not be surprising. The greatest
difficulty in the way of exterminating
either mosquitoes or rats lies in the fact
that both are exceedingly prolific AS a
rule, the smaller the animal the greater
its power OF reproduction. Thus, it
would be easy enough to exterminate
the elephant, and in fact. that process
lis already we'll undcr way, while the
American bison and other large animals
have already been sent to join the dodo.
But mosquito reproduces its kind by
the million, and rats multiply with as
tonishing rapidity. as any housewife
will testify. Again in undertaking to
destroy rats or any other species of liv-
ing creatures. science is. to certain
extent, in the dark. The rat is. to a GER
tain extent, scavenger. and in the
economy of nature every living thing is
supposed to have it's place. What would
be the result IL rats We're destroyed no
man can tell with certainty. However,
there is small reason TO worry about
such a remote contingency, as. in the
nature Of things. it will take a century
or two to accomplish either of the OBJ
1ects at which scientists are aiming

.AueH1u FOR "HAueAI."
TChicaro Tribune.l

It Is to be feared that the well-meap-
Ing purist who has started to preach q
crusade against the use of "aught" for
"naught has hopeless undertaking
before him. He is correct, of course, in
saying that the use of the word "aught"
to designate cipher is wrong. The
word means the exact opposite OF what
Is intended. Yet 1t Is in almost univer-
sal use to denote a zero. Probably nine
tenths of the people who talk over tele-
phones use the word in this form. and
the girls at the central office long ago
adopted 1t as steady feature OF their
numerical code. Nor could the girls re-
form the rest of the telephone-using
world ii they We're to mend their own
cabulary and then try to instruct the
public on the subject. as the aforesaid
purist suggests. The error has gone too
FAR to be corrected by a whole army of
telephone girls. Much less vocal effort
is required when the IN" is dropped and
one says one aught" for one naught. +"
This persistent decapitation OF the
word "naught" seems to be the result
of natural law of erosion that is con-
stantly at work grinding down the
words of all parts of speech so as to hit
the tongue mare easily. Just as .'if"
was once 'gif,' and though, was once
pronounced with final gutteral, so
there are many words which have
cropped the initial M Thus adder"
and .augur," and umpire" were origl-
rally nader and ''nauger.' and
''numpire." The word orange has like
Wise been decaptated as may still be
seen by comparing IT with the Spanish
raranJa. Apron was once napron. of
which we have a survival OF napery.
The tendency to drop the m" from
Taught seems to be a part OF the same
phenomenon.
This whole class of changes can be
traced to the curious shifting that re-
suits when the indefinite article is
placed before such word. Thus "a
napron" or "a madden" glides into IAN
apron" and AN adder" and in time Is
SO written. g naught" sounds like IAN
|naught," and such it has become In the
common speech, in spite OF the fact that
we still have legitimate word "aught.
which means the contrary of zero. 1t
became so in New England fully cen-
fury ago. 1t is doubtful whether any
amount of protest can have the dlsap-
Fearing M 1t is but one more Illus
tration of the fact that the most care
fully educated people do moi always
have the greatest influence in shaping
the language.
