DAYS FOR
INTERPRETER
Edward Sell, of This City, I'm
pOrtant Man at the
County Court.

These are busy days for Edward
the court interpreter, says the
New Brunswick Home News. When
ever the Grand Jury is in session MI.
services are continually in de-
mand. Many of the cases which come
up for an airing before the grand
jury are the result of disputes be-
tween foreigners. Sometimes it is a
cast of a mar using his wife as a foot
ball; sometimes it is the case of a
maiden wronged by a lover; some
times it is the story of a man who
wants to show the scars of how he
was carved in a bar-room fight. 1t is
then that Mr.. Sell has to be called
into interpret for the iurymen.
Many of the witnesses could speak
broken English If they would, but
they fear that they would make some
blunder in court and so demand that
they be heard in their native lang
uage. The man or woman with a
smuttering of English wants to use
the most words. as they all want to
tell every detail about the people they
would have punished.
There are dozens of different
tongues spoken by witnesses in the
grand Jury room, but Mr.. Sell seems
to have a command OF all of them.
A reporter asked him this morning
just how many languages he did com
mand.
''If you ask me how many distinct
languages | will say four,' he re-
piled, but if you ask me how many
dialect, l would have to count them
up and that would be u job. Take
the Slavonic language, for instance.
There are many dialects to it. The
Russians, the Bohemians, and the
Poles use it besides u number of
others. All have their distinct Ian
guage, but by mastering the fonnda-
tion language you u understand all.
Its about the same as u person under
standing English would be able to
understand the Scottish dialect, the
cockney dialect, the Southern negro
dialect and the many other dialects.
Then there are as many dialects to
the Hungarian language. Every town
seems to have its own dialect.
'My other two languages + Ger
man and English. With a knowledge
of the German and the English Ian
guagea man would be able to get
along in any city in the world over
900 population. He could always find
someone with whom he could talk.
They are the great languages of to-
day. When | was a boy French was
the language which was taught, but
today it is German.
Mr.. Sell is a well read and as well
versed in the worlds history as on
would meet in a weeks travels. He
vas a hard student when young and
he has retained the knowledge he
then gained. He is educating his two
sons for professional lives. One son
is taking a course in chemistry in
Columbia and this year enters uDon
his third postgraduate year, having
spent six years at Columbia. He has
already discovered some elements in
chemistry and three of his paper
have been regarded with much salts
faction by noted chemists. The other
son enters Rutgers today, having taken
the four year. High School course at
Perth Amboy in three years.
In private life Interpreter Sell is a
dry goods merchant at Perth Amb0y.

PROF. PICKERING HOME.
Recognized Volcanoes Of Hawaiian
 Islands as Old Friends.

San Francisco, Sept. s-Professor w. H. Pickering, of Harvard, thS astronomer, is here en route home from a visit to the Hawaiian Islands. He makes the interesting statement that although he had never seen the volcanoes Of the Hawaiian Islands previous to his recent trip there, he recognized in them old familiar friends. He says he met their anccs- tors from afar, as it were. through a telescope, and that they are similar to those of the moon. that is those of the engulfment variety.
 While in Honolulu Prof Pickering delivered a lecture in which he adyo- cated the theory that the moon was originally part of the earth and was thrown off and that the Hawaiian Islands were about in the center of this lunar gonosis. The space that was left when the moon material was thrown off was the Pacific ocean. The large volcanoes of Mauna Loa and KiI- auea, on the Island of Hawaii, and Haleakala, on Maui. were. Prof Pick ering stated. in many ways exactly like those he had observed through Q telescope on the moon.

ABOUT SHOES.

Earliest Reference Is Found fin the
 Old Testament.
 What is regarded as the earliest reference to shoes is found in the Old Testament, where Abraham refuses to take as much as a shoe latchet from the King of Sodom. Among the Jews the shoe played an important part in many social usages. When buying or selling land 1t was customary 10 de liver shoe. and the act of throwing down a shoe implied occupancy. The finding of sandals on Egyptian mum mics proves that the wearing of shoes is almost as old as the race itself Tn Venice In the seventeenth century ev- cry lady of any pretension to fashion or position wore what were called "chOppines." high clogs or pattens tO elevate them from the ground. ThOm- as COryat. a trayeier who visited Ven ice fin 1911, says of them: They are so common in Venice that no women goeth forth without either in her house CT abroad. It is a thing made of wood and covered with leather fin sun dry cOlors. some white. some red. some yellow.

 Fortunes have been Iavishesi upon shoes. Men as widely apart in every circumstance Of life as Sir Walter Raleigh and Callgula had their shoes enriched with precious stones Co the value of thousands of dollars.
