Der turned it over in her mind. She
was the mother. and she admitted
to herself that it was more than a
joke-that in many instances it was
sober truth. 1t came home to her
heart with great significance, for she
acknowledged to herself that "the

AME ERICAN ACCENT.

An American correspondent protests
against the phrases American accent
and nasal twang," which were used
in many reports of the Torrey- Alex
ander mission at Liverpool. For "the
impression is a general one that all
Americans talk through their noses.
The idea is quite as erroneous as if
one should assert that all English peo-
pie talk cockney.' The protest is
Justiflable. There is no such things as
the American accent except in few
words, such as advertisement -
wherein America is superior as to
pronunciation and practice.
Nor does the American-born man
talk through his nose" The real diff
ference that we all notice is differ
ence in the general pitch Of the voice.
The American voice is pitched in a
slightly higher key than the English;
and here you may find the reason why
the American assimilates French so
easily. Put roughly, the case is this:
The Frenchman talks from his palate,
the American from the top of his
throat, the Englishman from his chest
and the German from his diaphragm

A WONDERFUL CHILD.

At three years of age John Stuart
Mill began the study of Greek. with
arithmetic as an evening relaxation :
as Samuel Wellington puts it in the
Westminster Review.
At eight he began Latin, Euclid and
algebra, and had to act as tutor to the
younger children. He was a stern and
efficient tutor.
At twelve he began scholastic logic
and political economy-the latter his
main lifework.
At fourteen, while paying long
visit to Sir Samuel Bentham in South
ern France, he learned French as
relaxation from studying two or three
hours before breakfast. five hours be-
tween breakfast and dinner and two
or three in the evening Being for the
time master of his own hours and not
subject to a stern father, he took les
sons also in his spare hours in music,
singing, dancing, fencing and riding,
but never became proficient.
At sixteen Mill could speak in debate
with adults with ease and freedom. AT
eighteen he contributed to the West
minister Review. AT twenty-five he
was made assistant in the India Office
and received a large salary for those
days.
\ But--Mill was bald at TWENTY-FIVE.
He did not marry until he was forty
five. He himself said: Il never was a
boy. 1t is better to let nature have its
own way

ELECTRICAL ENERGY
WITHOUT ANY
WIRES.

Some of the latest wonders of wire
less are described by Eugene r. Lyle
Jr. in the February Worlds Work. He
says: An inventor is in the field with
a wireless telephone. Another with a
submarine wireless telephone. A
Frenchman declares that he has tel
autograph which by wireless repro
course wish to communicate with one
another; at the st. Louis Fair one has
already talked with the earth by
wireless. And can a torpedo be guided
to it's victim without a wire?
Indeed, the most astounding prospect
of all is that suggested by Nikoa
Tesla-for Tesla proposes the use of
wireless in transmitting energy. Pom
der a moment on what such thing
would mean. A central plant would
generate power and send it out to Gus
toners via the air alone, whether
across desert or over the high seas.
An automobile climbing the Alps might
get its push from London or Paris.
An ocean liner would need no boilers,
no engines, no dynamo, no coal. Steam,
heat light, would all come to it from
the land. A lone ranchman in Arizona
might set up pocket-receiver and
learn the latest news. Millions Of such
little receivers might be operate from
a single central station. Even the man
tei clock in a country home might tick
in unison with every other clock IN
the world, all responding to the same
wireless impulse.
Other inventors say that the wire
less transmission of energy can never
be- it is impossible; it is contrary to
all natural laws. But, before now, ex-
perts have declared a thing impossible
which has later come to pass.
