REGARDING MEDICAL TERMS.
Rules AS to Certain PIurals That Are
Applicable Also to n Number
of other Words.

How to form the plural of some med
zeal words is a puzzle to many physi-
clans. We have beena.kcd especially
as to the proper form of the plural of
neuritis, nephritis, ETC., and of iris,
formula, etc. 1t seems to us the gen
eral rule must be that if they are Eng
lish words, i. e., written in Roman and
not in italics, they should form the
plural just as other English plurals
are formed. If they are still foreign
words, of course, the plurals must be
those commanded by the language
whence they come. There is hardly
better proof of the decentralization
than the adoption of the English form
of plural, says American Medicine.
If the Latin form is preserved, then
we should print the words in italics
and use it as little as possible. But in
English we are compelled to use ne
phritis, ETC., because there are no other
English words descriptive of the facts.
Such words are as thoroughly angli-
cized as they can be. If not, we should
use the Greek alphabet in printing
them. Why, therefore, preserve the
Latin or Greek forms of plurals? Who
would say lexica instead of 1exicons,
factota and ultimate instead of fac
totums and ultimatums? In the same
way we think that chondromas, carci-
nomas, fibromas, etc, addendums,
ovu1ns, erratums, mediums, focuses,
funguses, formulas, genuses, stamens,
indexes, apparatuses, appendices, cher
ubs, seraphs, bandits, criterions, ETC.,
are the proper plural forms. In words
ending in is, the change to es, in form
ing the plural, is SO well established
and 50 simple that it should not be in
terfered with.
In this way we have accepted and
habitually use analyses, bases, crises.
hypothesis, GASES, parentheses, theses,
etc. Why should we not form the plu-
rails of our words ending in tits in the
same way, instead of the Greek -itides?
The forms neurites, nephrites. ETC.,
seem preferable to neuritides, nephrit-
ides, etc. We would prefer irises to
rides and iritises to iritides. The OBJ
iections to -itides are so evident that
they need not be discussed, and -itises Is
scarcely likely to be accepted, although
it is perfectly proper and preferable to
-itides.

STRONG VOLTS IN HOUSES.
Much Electricity Escapes from Wires
and Renders Some Residences
Untenable.

An article has been going the
rounds of the newspapers recently
maintaining the existence of house
that is so completely electrified as to
be untenable. Such articles are not
uncommon and display a woeful
amount of ignorance of electrical phe
nomena, says scientific authority.
1t is usually stated that some one has
discovered that everything he touches
in his house, the radiators, picture
frames, banquet lamps, etc, give him
an electric shock. Hence, he fears
there is some connection between the
arc light wires and the water pipes
near his residence. The electric light
inspector is therefore summoned and
reports that the wires of his company
are intact and that the electricity
must come from some other source.
1t does not dawn on any of the peo-
pie consulted that the discoverer of
the phenomenon is unconsciously per-
forming one of the simplest and old
est of electrostatic experiments, the
shutting of his shoes over the dry
carpet raising the potential of his
body to several thousand volts, which
discharge at every opportunity. One
may even get electrical discharges
from his knuckles to the brass lock of
a handbag which he may be carrying
while walking on a stone pavement
during cold, dry weather. But, dis
missing newspaper science, it is some
what astonishing, in view of the many
ways in which in cold, dry countries
electricity is unintentionally devel-
oped and manifested by sparkling, that
the first knowledge concerning this
phenomenon did not come to the an
clients in this way rather than by the
attraction of light substances by am
Der. The explanation of this, how
ever, may be that the scientists of by
gone days did not reside in cold, dry
countries.

CANCELLED ALL ENGAGEMENTS
How Two Friends Came to Quit Leo
turing Each Other About Their
Bad Habits,

"Men have a curious habit of quar-
reling at each other about each others
faults" said an observant citizen, to a
New Orleans Times-Democrat repre-
sentative, and there seems to be very
common belief that the beam is always
in the other fellows eye. 1t is one of
the curious infirmities of human judg-
ment that the little things of rep
rehensible kind always fall to the other
fellows lot. TIL other fellow is al
ways to blame. He is not merely re-
sponsible for his own condition in
life, his own little misfortunes and
mistakes, but he is actually blamed
for many of the things which befall
his acquaintapces and associates, and
members of his family. l overheard
a conversation some time ago which
seemed to fit the situation like tailor
made garment, and it was simply a
polite exchange between two friends,
who were in the habit of lecturing each
other about each others faults. One
of them was passionately fond of to-
bacco. He was worse than worm
about the weed and simply had wad
in his mouth all the time. He took big
chews, too, and was in the habit of
going around the streets with his face
pulled out on one side like man with
the humps, The other was a whisky
drinker. and he was In the habit of
getting his legs tangled at close Inter-
walls. Jim said the whisky drinker
one day. why on earth don't you quit
this vulgar. filthy habit of chewing to-
bacco? What do you chew tobacco
for anyhow Because like the juice
said Jim quietly. by the way, BILL
said the tobacco user. why don't you
quit this dirty, lowdown habit of
drinking whisky? What do you drink
whisky for anyhow?' Because like
to get drunk said Bill. and the two
friends shook hands and Cancelled all
lecturing engagements for the future.
There is good lesson in these honest
answers, and while they may not sat
isfy the overscrupulous. there is after
all much of wisdom in this little bit of
humor."

SHE USED THE Triple.
bridget Thought She Was Using the
ChamOis and Made Had
Work of It,

There is a prominent doctor in Ger
mantown who is busy telling little
joke on himself, says the Philadelphia
Evening Telegraph. 1t appears that he
employed an Irish servant, who had
just arrived from the "ould sod" Start
ing out one morning, he noticed his
Office windows were rather dirty, and,
calling Bridget, he instructed her to
clean them before he returned. At the
same time he told her that he would
stop and purchase new channels skin
and send it home, and with this she
was to clean the windows. After he had
gone his rounds, he returned to his
Office. CHANGING at the windows, he
found them thickly streaked with
grease. He called Bridget, and the fol-
lowing colloquy took place:
Bridget, didn't tell you to clean
the windows?"
Eyes, sor."
"And didn't tell you to use the new
chamois?"
Eyes, sor."
well, did you use it?"
''Sure, did, sor."
LET me see the chamois," said the
doctor, and Bridget promptly brought
it. Then for the first time he learned
that his wife had left the house half
hour before he did i'll the morning, and
had sent home some tripe. The doctor
declined to say what happened to the
channels skin.

HEAT FROM THE EARTH.
.. gcientist's Novel and ExtraOrdl.
nary scheme for Bringing 1t
Into Practical Use.

Certain scientific men now believe
that the enormous internal heat of the
earth may be utilized for some prac-
teal purpose. Prof. William Hallock,
of Columbia university, expresses, in
Worlds Work, the opinion that the
plan is feasible. He says:
at is not merely a question of get
ting steam; it is question of the guam
tity of steam that can be had. Near
Boise, Idaho, hot water is now drawn
from a well, and used to heat dwell
ing. The Pittsburg and Wheeling wells
are capable of heating the water left
in them overnight; but even if their
depth were sufficient to turn the water
to steam, it would requiEe SO many
hours waiting as, to rob the process of
all commercial value. In other words,
there would not be the slightest diff
Guilty in obtaining steam from the in
terror of the earth, because that in
wolves only little extra labor in bor-
ing into the hot area, and it is almost
as easy to bore 10000 feet as 5000; but
in order to give the steam commercial
dropping the water to the hot area.
allowing it time to heat, and yet hav-
ing it returned to the surface as steam,
without interrupting the flow.
1.-TWO holes might be bored into the
earth, 10000 feet deep and perhaps so
feet apart. There would bea temporal
ture far above the boiling point of wa
ter. Then, if very heavy charges of
dynamite or some other explosive
were lowered to the bottom of each
hole, and exploded simultaneously,
sufficient connection might be estab-
lished between the two holes. The
rock would be cracked and assured in
around the base of the holes would
turn the surrounding area into an i'm
mense water-heater. The water
poured into one hole would be heated
and turned into steam, which would
pass through the second hole to the
earth's surface. The pressure of such
column of steam would be enormous;
for aside from its initial velocity, the
descending column of cold water would
exert a pressure of at least 5000
pounds to the square inch, which
would drive everything movable
through the second hole. The problem
is therefore a mechanical one, eon=
cerned chiefly with connecting the two
holes. This accomplished, the water
heater would operate itself, and estab-
lish a source of power that would sur
pass anything now In USE"

VISION TOO RESTRICTED.
The Eyeaight of City Residents Suf-
fers from the Continuity of
Many Objects.

Speaking of the practice of wear
ing glasses" said a well-known opti-
clan in Canal street, "there is curl
Gus thing about the human eye that
the average person is constantly over
looking. We talk a great deal about
the influence of color, about glare and
all that sort of thing. Unquestion-
ably color has great deal to do with
the weakness of the human eye at this
time. Glare figures as an important
factor in the impairment of the hui
man sight. In the matter of color
there is so much rioting in these lat
ter days that the eye is kept in an
almost constant strain.
''Red is violently red, green violently
green, and so on, until the eye is SIM
ply strained beyond the normal in an
effort to visualize the hue. and hence
the optic nerves are in measure
strained and injured. But this is not
the greatest danger when we come to
think of modern tendencies so far as
the human eye is concerned. There
are other conditions than the matter
of color. The glare is bad enough,
too. The electric and incandescent
lights are simply fearful on ones eye
sight.
'But the thing quarrel with more
than any other influence is the con-
dition which limits the scope of ones
vision. The eye should have a broad
range. One should have the oppor-
tunity of seeing a long distance. We
are denied this opportunity. We are
hemmed and hedged in until the dis
lance we are capable of seeing is very
short indeed. This is why l am a
strong advocate of parks and prom
enades. Green is naturally restful
color" said the optician in conclusion,
according to the New Orleans Times
Democrat, land if the city could be
provided with long avenues and splen-
did parks where ones eyes could
stretch out in long vista it would be
a great thing"

The HOni Indiana

The Indian is an always interesting
study. Wherever his haunts and
whatever his habits. he possesses pc
culiar characteristics that are full of
the interest which always attaches to
primeval race. The Hopi tribe, which
is "at home" in northeastern Arizona.
in the province of Tusayan, is one of
the most interesting of all the tribes of
the west. 1t belongs to the Uto-Aztec-
an stock, and that its past has been
nomadic is due to force of circum-
stances rather than to natural choice.
The Hopi. the name signifying people
of peace refute by their peaceful lives
the popular SANDER that 'there is no
good Indian, but a dead Indian" These
peculiar people are not only peaceable
among themselves, but have sought
their present isolated abodes, among
the cliffs and peaks in that compare
lively barren section, in their persist
ent efforts to get beyond the range
of their warlike neighbors, that they
might dwell in peace, asking only to
be let alone.-From ''The Children of
The Cliff" by John X. lie Baron, in Four
Track News.
