MEANING OF THE WORD CAD.
What Writers and photographers Say
on the Subject.

What Writers and photographers Say
on the Subject.
speaking Of words, did you ever
stop to think about the meaning and
origin of the word 'cad,' which we now
use to slur man." said man who
takes an interest in the study Of words
in the New Orleans s-Democrat.
IF you have not few moments with
some good book on the subject of
words, their origin and meaning, will
prove worth your while. Cad is still
used very largely in what we may call
its low English sense, though in its
purer Specification, if we glance for
moment at words intimately related
meaning. Brothers, the younger broth
er, for instance, bring up suggestions
that are not only pure, but poetic and
ennobling. But we take the other view
of cad the Dickens view. if we may
accept Webster's reference, a person
who stands at the door of an omni-
bus to open and shut it, and to re-
ceive fares; an idle hanger-on about
inn yards or even the still worse def
milton of low-bred, presuming per-
son, mean, vulgar fellow"
In general way these definitions
find ready acceptance in the modern
mind. These are the things we mean
when we call a man cad Of course
we followed the English in this as in
many other matters in connection with
the language. But why shouldn't we
hold on to some of the purer signf-
canoe of the word? Cad is the short
way Of saying 'cadie,' which means
'errand boy or boy and which in turn
may be traced to cadet which means
"a younger brother a little Tor young
err head Cadet in this country means,
in it's military sense, something quite
different of course. Cad will suggest
to us, too, the words 'cadaver' and Ca
daverous' are more intimately related
to the poetic word cadence which
in turn is from 'cadere,' TO fall or TO
fall dead. These observations are
more sidelights.
If we were inclined to be frivolous,
in this connection, we might insist that
cad was related to scadaver,' and that
therefore the cad was a dead one
But there is a more substantial, and
yet gentler side to the question, the
one which has to do with the poetry
and the romance of the language, with
it's changes, and offshoots resulting
from the progress we make, and the
new demands which must needs twist
words out of their old places in the
vocabulary"

LAKE OF SOLID ICE
Found in Rocky Mountains in Region
of Perpetual Snow.

While the people Of Denver swelter
in the hot weather Of the summer Il
little mountain lake, only forty-fve
miles away, calmly enjoys perpetual
freeze-the lake is solid ice, says the
Denver Times. This is what was found
by G. A. Parker, in charge of the tele-
graph construction of the Moffat rail
road, in the shadow Of the James
peak, on the continental divide.
Perpetual SHOWS blanket the noun
tain on both sides not reached by the
sun, and amid the wintry scene Of
glacial whiteness lies the little lake,
one big lump of ice. How long the
lake has been frozen no one knows.
Sometimes it melts, but this year it
has not shown any signs Of succumb-
ing to the higher temperature.
Mr.. Parker enjoyed the cooling prox-
unity of the lake when Denver was re-
ceiving the first real share of hot
weather. He also inspected the enor
nous banks of glacial snow, some Of
them extending hundreds Of feet on
the mountain side and scores of feet
deep.
Officers of the Moffat road are much
interested in the finds. They knew
that the glaciers were there, but the
lake was something they did not ex-
pect Now every one from General
Manager Ridgway to the Office boy is
trying to determine how long that lake
may have been frozen solid.
Many wonderful scenic features are
reported by Mr.. Parker, who rode
from Mammoth over the divide, select
ing the locations for the telegraph
poles. He says that the James peak
country is wonderful region and will
be q surprise. The Moffat road tenn
porary line will pass within a short
distance of the peak and fine view
of the SHOWS will be afforded.

Worlds Best Timekeeper.

The best timekeeper in the world il
said to be the electric clock in the
basement of the Berlin observatory
which was installed by Professor
Forester in 1865.
1t is enclosed in an alright glass
cylinder, and has frequently run for
periods of two and three months with
an average daily deviation of only fif-
teen one-thousandths of a second.
Astronomers are making efforts to
improve even this and to secure ideal
conditions for the clock by keeping it
not only in an alright case, but in an
underground vault, where neither
changes Of temperature nor of baro-
metric pressure shall ever affect it,

BEAR AND LEPARD FIGHT.
Indian Story of Struggle Between the
Beasts for a Buffalo.

Indian Story of Struggle Between the
Beasts for a Buffalo.
A GUAR was grazing his buffaloes
in the Kangra Valley about sunset
when suddenly a couple of bears put
in an appearance, one monster, the
other about half grown. They started
stalking one of the buffaloes that was
somewhat separated from the others.
He never thought they would be able
to kill it, so lay low and watched their
operations.
They approached from different di-
rections. At first the buffalo seemed
to think it great sport, and chased
them when they came too near him.
All this time the big bear used now
and then to run up to the little one
and appeared to be giving him direc-
tons how to proceed. The little one
gradually drew the buffalo toward a
drop of about fifty feet. When the
buffalo again made a rush at it the
big bear, seeing his opportunity, made
rush from behind, and over went the
buffalo, breaking it's neck at the bot
tom.
The little bear was first on the car
cass, and thought he was going to have
his share, but the big bear coming up
gave him couple of cuffs on the head
and drove him away. The GUAR was
horrorstruck, but wishing for revenge.
drove the other animals home and set
out in quest of the local "shikari." By
this time the moon was shining bright
ly, and when they came within some
distance of the scene of the encounter
they heard great growing and roaring
going on, aud thought that the young
bear had returned for his share, in
stead of which they saw large Loop
ard and the bear at it tooth and nail.
The sight was such an uncommon
one that they waited within striking
distance, the "shikari'' knowing that
he could take his shot whenever he
liked as one or other animal was sure
to return to the kill. After time the
leopard, feeling he was getting the
worst OF it, gave a huge growl and fox
! like seemed to subsde as if dead. The
bear shifted at his enemy long and
| lovingly, and after giving him a few
| more blows with his paws proceeded
| to enjoy the repast from which he had
! been disturbed. Before the men could
| recover from their astonishment the
| leopard was up and on the bears back,

Whether as a consequence Of the
exercise Of greater care, the employ
ment Of more or better safety de-
vices, Or whatever else the cause may
be, it appears from statistics recently
published by the British Home Of
ice that the death rate from accidents
III coal mines and quarries is greater
In the United States and smaller i'll
France than anywhere else. The rate
per 1000 persons is 1926 in the United
States and only 100 in France. In the
United Kingdom it is only 124, and
In Germany 1893.
The reputation of Manitoba as a
wheat-producing country adds inter
est to the results Of recent expert
ments in wheat growing conducted by
the Canadian government on two ex
perlmental farms, one at Nappan,
Nova Scotia, the other at Brandon,
Manitoba. Out of So varieties tested
In both places, 40 produced a larger
yield per acre and heavier grain on the
Nova Scotia than on the Manitoba
farm. Over two-thirds of the varie-
ties tested were more successful in
Nova Scotia than in Manitoba.
The annual report of the Cancer Re-
search Fund was recently submitted
In London. From this it appears that
the disease is not, as has sometimes
been asserted, product of civilized
life. 1t pervades the whole world,
civilized and uncivilized alike. It af-
fects animals as we'll as human beings,
and fishes are not immune to it. But
II Is not infectious and not transmits
slDle from one species to another. 1t
is not attributable to a parasite and
Is not increasing. The experiments Of
the past year have not shown that ra-
dunn exercises curative effect.
Three singular preparations of grape
juice are known in Turkey, and our
consul at Harput thinks they might
all be made and liked in this coun-
try. Basduk consists of sheets resem-
bling leather, made by evaporating
grape juice to the consistency of mo-
lasses, then mixing flour with it and
drying it on cotton cloth in the sun
shine. Kessme is in cakes half an inch
thick. 1t is made by using coarse
wheat grits instead of -four to mix
with the grape m0lasses, and is dried
on metal plates. Suzuki, a still more
savory preparation, is made by string
ing walnut meats on Irvine, and then
1mmersing the strings thus formed in
the mixture of flour and grape Juice.
When coated with about a quarter of
an inch thick the strings are hung up
to dry.
interesting experiments showing the
influence of a tuning fork on jets Of
water have recently been made at the
Royal College of Science in Dublin. A
jet of falling water consists ordinarily
OF two partS-a clear column and 4
troubled portion. When the troubled
part is photographed, with the aid Of
the electric spark, it is seen to be COM
posed of q succession of Drugs follow
ing one another too rapidly to be sep
arately perceived by the eye These
drops are irregular in size, shape and
distance from one another. But if a
vibrating tuning fork is placed in con-
tact with the stand from which the
jet starts, the drops fall into order
with beautiful precision, a drop be-
ing cast off with each vibration. Many
remarkable effects can thus be pro-
duced. A continuous jet may be
thrown into form like that Of a vi
brating string.

The Hoffman, Recital.

After such a feast of fat things as
the Hoffman, piano recital at hte First
Baptist church afforded last evening, it
is difficult to analyze the banquet and
pick out the viands which have proved
most toothsome. Hoffman, is a con-
summate artist, a veritable virtuoso,
and whatever he does appeals to his list
complished with the utmost success.
Despite his technique which is, of
course marvellous, the young Polish play
er is to be char!acterized, first and fore
prets the different numbers on his pro
grams, using his technique to bring out
the intellectual analysis to which he has
subjected them. The result cannot but
be delightful to the musician whether he
agrees Intellectually with the player OF
not: Another element that enters into
Hofmann' 8 success, is his catholicity Of
whether he plays dainty caprice, full
Of the most bewitching and fairly-like
measures, or tremendous fantasia that
seems to crowd all the thunders of ma
ture into one mighty climax. With equa
skill he plays them both and nothing
better could be desired.
| The program last evening was
grouped effectively into three parts, thu
first being devoted to the old masters
the second to Chopin, and the third tx
more modern works, including one o:

TO PUSH THE BONDS
Campaign in Behalf OF New PUBIC
E.t. School Buildings.

At a largely attended meeting Of
voters in the Lowry Hill district, held
last evening at the Douglas school,
it was unanimously voted to approve
the two bond propositions urged by the
board of education. These propositions
authorize the city council to issue bonds
to the amount of 100000 for graded
schools and like amount for another
high school.
Superintendent G. NJ. Jordan and
School Directors Frank G.. Mcmillan
and N. F. Hawley spoke at length on
the conditions as they existed in the
public schools and the many expedl-
ences the board was compelled to en-
ploy in order to provide schoolroom.
Assembly halls had been cut up into
classrooms, children were quartered IN
all kinds Of annexes, in Easements and
attics, and yet there was not room for
all.
| Among the other speakers were Judge
J. H. Steele, A. H. Bright, H. A.
Barnes, G. A. Quist and others. A COM
| mittee consisting of Judge Steele, Il: A.
Barnes and N. F. Hawley was author
lied to promote the cause of the bonds
in that part of the city.
Meetings will be held next Monday
evening in the Hariert, Calhoun and
Lynda1e schools.
