How to Pronounce Arkansas"
From HarDer's Weakly

"
In the very interesting article in the June
Harper's Magazine, THE Pleasant Life of
Pere Marquette" by Henry Loomis Nelson,
Lid, the statement is found: They were
among the Akamsea. This is the way in
which Marquette spells the name of the
Arkansas Indians, writing the word. of
course. as 1t struck his ear: and so we may
sympathize with the people Of the modern
state, who 50 determined that the name
shall not be pronounced as IL 1t were
heightened Kansas that they have enacted
a statute condemning all. by inference at
least, who do not say 'Arkansaw- The
correct pronunciat ton of Arkansas Is not
Arkansaw, but Arkansa. This terminal is
not infreQuent in Indian words received
through the French. and the final s is silent
and the a Is long. For Instance. Tensas
river land parish) in Louisiana Is pronounc-
ed Tensa, as Arkansas Is correctly pro-
nounced Arkansa The statute referred TO
Is no statute at all, but mere concurrent
resolution of the general assembly OF 1881
expressing its opinion of the correct pro-
-nunciatfon of the name of the state In order
to secure correctness and uniformity in
oral official proceedings. The body of the
resolution is as follows: BE II therefore re-
solved by both houses of the general assem-
bly,, That the only true pronunciation or
the name of the state, In the opinion of this
body, is that received by the French from
native Indians and committed to writing
in the French word representing the sound
and that 1t should be pronounced In three
syllables, with the final s. silent, the a In
each syllable with the Italian sound and
the accent on the first and last syllabies-
being the pronunciation formerly univer-
sally and now still most commonly used
1t is conceded to men to pronounce their
names as they see fit, and their pronuncia-
ton is binding. The same privilege might
well be accorded state, and yet the
Heightened Kansas" and the overdone
Arkansaw are still frequently heard with
out the state. but rarely, and then only
from newcomers, within the state.

Pennies in Slot Machines.
From the London Express.


The enormous decrease in the coinage
of pennies, half-pennies and farthings
from f14S.499 worth in 1902 to f77.S95
worth in 1904, is an aftermath of the
boom in pennies caused by the greatly
extended use of penny in the-slo ma
chies few years ago. The experts In
coin production state that there was
something like a penny famine" few
years ago, and this led to a large produe-
ton of new coppers by the mint.
The. circulation of the penny is a Curl
Gus thing" said one London and South
western bank manager. For instance
we think nothing of receiving at one city
branch of our bank f10o worth of pennies
in one week. and the great producer of
pennies Is Peckham. Many branch banks
where business men run in and ask for a
sovereign's worth of pennies get their
supply of coppers from Peckham.
The secret of this Is the penny-in-the-
slot gas meter.
we have 1S2, 900 penny In the-slo gas
meters A large corps of inspectors spend
their time In going round emptying these.
They get around this enormous number
OF meters about once every five weeks. 1t
is quite usual thing for them to empty
out 2.5o0.000 pennies in few days. These
millions of pennies have been locked up
for five weeks in many cases. and IL we
let the emptying process stand still very
long we should make material differ
ence to the stream OF coppers in circula-
ton"

Boston Architect Proves Earth is Plane

Apparently having noted the statement In
recent issue of the Republican that
Springfield is 65.s feet above sea level,
Aurin r. Hill of Boston, who is described
as an architect, sends the following highly
interesting letter:
Springfield is about 100 miles from Bos-
ton. Is this grade at Springfield correct?
II the earth were globe 5000 miles in
diameter. Springfield ought to be about 1890
above or below Boston. Is it? Can our
engineers survey level and straight line
q horizontal line-from Boston to SPRING
field? l think they can. / think they did
1t, and by their works prove that this earth
is a plane and stands fast. They prove by
their works that water is level-straight on
its surface Consider the curvature on
globe 5000 miles in diameter at the center
circle: also at what we call forty-two de-
grees north latitude, going east or west.
We are living on plane that stands fast"
