Lum inOus Paint as Night Lights.

The connection between earthquakes and luminous paint would hardly be apparent to any one without explana- ton. It nevertheless exists. and the use to which it is put invests it with the utmost importance just for the few critical moments of the shock. In the Philippine Islands. where earthquakes are not uncommon, small metallic plates coated with luminous paint are so placed about the premises that at the first warning the inmates are quickly guided to the door and thus to the street In Manila 1t is laid on In patches about the bedrooms and stair cases. serving as guides for the door handles and the stairs. night lights be- ing considered especially dangerous, as likely to set fire to the falling houses and thus to roast the inmates in their own homes.

The Ori.in of il Word.

The London Chronicle tries to trace the origin of the word 'typhoon, v "Tai-fung" it is explained in some dictionaries, is Chinese for "a great wind. and since the tEphoon is q phenomenon of the Chinese seas it seems conclusive. But there is no doubt apparently that typhoon, which Iakluyt spelled "touff0n and Dampier 'tuffoon," comes to us through Portuguese for the Arabic, Persian and Indian 'tufan." and it is almost im- possible not to see in this relation of the ancient Greek .'typhos' or "ty phon." whirlwind But these are practically identical with the Greek word for smoke or vapor, from which come our "typhus' and typhoid. So perhaps the Chinese part of it is only an extraordinary linguistic coincidence after all

Sir Richard Burton's Translation of
 the Tales.
 "I'he Arabian Nights was first in troduced to Europe by d Frenehman named Galland. and the first English versions were simply translations of his Then q Dr. Scott gave a very SUI periOr edition .occasionally corrected from the Arabic" In 1889, however. appeared An English translation entire ly from the Arabic, with copious notes and illustrations. It was Edward Will liam Lanes. d gentleman whose long residence in Egypt had fully qualified him for his work. This translation may be said to have held the field un- til the appearance of one by Sir Rich ard Burton. Sir Richard was a daring and successful traveller, who had q re markable facility in acquiring eastern languages He performed d pilgrim age to Mecca disguised as pilgrim, a feat as difficult as it Was daring. In 1872 he was appointed 10 the post of British consul at Triest. Here he applied his knowledge of Arabic to making q faithful translation of ..The Arabian Nights Entertainments" sup pementing his work with eopious notes and terminal essays which have been called q mine of curious aud diverting information. It's publication caused a great seuSation Details were freely given that had prev viously been SUD- pressed. But the accuracy of the trans lation as a whole was candiuly ac- knowleuged, and Burton may be cred itcd with having made into the Eng fish language the finest translation of these wonderful Arabian tales Lon don Answers
