Gutturals predominant in Norway
and Russia, whereas far to the south
ward in sunny Italy there is profu-
sion Of such euphonious names as Pa
leImo, Verona, Campobello, etc. Even
i'll the British isles, covering SO few de-
gre2s Of latitude, there is a marked
difference between the "'bur" of the
highlander and the soft speech of the
native of southern England.
: theory which may partly account
for these climatic effects is based
upon the contrast Of the stiffness which
usually peryadcs southern lands with
the stormy inQuietude Of northern
countries. Cloudiess skies for months
at time characterize the climates Of
Italy, while Il armament entirely free
from clouds is rare in Norway.
1t requires, of course, greater effort
to be heard in the regions which are
swept by winds and storms than in
still southern latitudes, and to be
heard distinctly amid the noise and
confusion of the elements words must
be used which contain many conso-
nants.
Among the inhabitants of more trop-
ical climes the tendency is toward
soft and musical cadence, alsd travel

America, such as Peru and Venezuela,
where atmospheric disturbances are

BABIES IN HOLES.
Where Uganda Infants Rest While

Where Uganda Infants Rest While
Their Mothers Hoe.
have gone into a field in Uganda
and there found one of our women at
work with a hoe, writes a missionary
sister in Donahoe's. 1 asked her where
her baby Maria was, and she pointed
to a spot at some distance where the
banana trees were thick. 1 walked
under the shade, and in vain l sought
the infant. The mother was greatly
amused and urged me to search fur
ther, assuring me that the little one
was not far away and was fast asleep.
l had to "give up" so the mother took
me by the hand and led me to bit of
bark cloth on the ground. Under this
rag was the crown Of the baby's head,
while the body was in a hole deep
enough for the feet to rest on the
ground. To my surprise and expostu-
iations she said in her own language:
This is a good custom. When
Uganda woman goes to hoe it is not
good for her baby to lie asleep on the
ground, as it might injure itself by
rolling, or, if it awoke, it might crawl
away. Therefore we make hole like
this and line it with soft, clean leaves
and put our baby safely into it so that
it can neither crawl out nor roll away,
aid we know exactly where to find it
when we come from the fields" She
said it was perfectly safe from wild
beasts, because it was midday.

In the Hfrh sierras.

Coming down from the high Sierras
into the Yosemite valley one passes
from almost arctic cold to the warmth
Of the late spring, and the difference in
temperature is easily traceable by the
character OF the foliage. On the nigh
peaks no green thing fiourishes. Grad
ually stunted pines and tamaracks ap-
pear, and still lower the maple and
laurel are just beginning to unfold
their leaves, and then in q half days
journey the wild flowers come. Hun
dreds and hundreds of them of all
shapes and colors are found here, and
as you approach the rim of the wonder
fuI Yosemite the air is heavy laden
with the scent of the azaleas, and the
trail is lined with wild lilac, wild cher
~ and dogwood-a perfect riot Of flow

Fire Insurance Folks Keep an Eye
on Construction Methods.
A builder speaking of the watchful-
ness Of fire insurance companies in
New York city In the erection of build
ings In that city says:
Insurance companies in placing poll
cies upon so called flreproof buildings
do not accept the word Of the builders
and contractors, nor rest content with
the evidence submitted by the city
building department Their own ex-
perts make an examination. Such an
examination is made not at the behest
Of politicians or In the interest or
group of men, but by technical experts
whose reports must be exact detailed
and exhaustive In the interests OF
shrewd business men. The Insurance
underwriters have their own corps Of
expert engineers and tireproof agents
in the field all Of "a time. When a
large building Is IL course OF con-
struction in New York these experts Of
the underwriters watch every stage Of
the development. They have no power
to stop work on the building as city
building inspectors have when the
building laws are not complied with,
but they possess another sort Of check
which is fully as effectual. The build
ers. contractors or owners. or all three,
are notified that further insurance poll
cies will not be made on the building
until certain remedies are made

Earrings have always been among
the most favorite ornaments OF nearly
all the nations Of the world, certainly
with those which are called civilized.
Indeed among the Persians. Babyloni-
ans and Carthaglnians they were worn
by men as well as women. They were
always worn by Greek women from
Hera In the "Illad" down to the Venus
de Medici, whose ears were pierced for
the reception Of earrings. Pliny tells
us that there was no part of dress upon
which greater expense was lavished

CHlOROPHYLL.
To This Substance II Due the Color
ing of Plants.

To This Substance II Due the Color
ing of Plants.
Chlorophyll is perhaps the most I'M
portant coloring substance In the
world. for upon this substance depend
the characteristic activity OF plants, the
synthesls of complex compounds from
carbon dioxide and water process, upon
which the existence Of all living things
is ultimately conditioned. Only IN q
very few unimportant forms devoid OF
chlorophyll can the synthesis OF COM
pick from simple compounds or from
the elements be accomplished. The
function of chlorophyll may only be
comprehended when its chief physical
properties are understood. These may
be best illustrated by placing gram
of chopped leaves Of grass or geranium
In q few cubic centimeters OF strong
alcohol for an hour.
Such q solution will be OF q bright,
clear green color, and when the vessel
containing it is held in such manner
that the sunlight is reflected from the
surface of the liquid it will appear
blood red, due to its property of huor-
escence, that of changing the wave
length Of the rays Of light Of the violet
and Of the spectrum In such a manner
as to make them coincide with those OF
the red end. 1t is by examination OF
light which has passed through a solu-
ton Of chlorophyll, however, that the
greatest insight into its physical prop
critics may be gained. If such a ray or
light is passed through a prism and
spread out on a screen, it may be seen
that there are several large intervals
Of dark bands in the spectrum. The
rays Of light which would have occu-
pied these spaces have been absorbed
by the chlorophyI and converted into
heat and other forms Of energy. This
energy is directly available to the pro
toplasm containing the chlorophyll, and
by means of 1t the synthesis OF COM
pick substance may be accomplished.
