Several months ago the Imperial
Academy of Sciences decided to form
a collection of photograph records

of languages and dialects for future
generations. Austria-Hungar", with
its manifold diversities of natlonalties
and races, affords very favorable
field for such investigation, and the
photograph archives are already as
Stunning considerable form. From North
Tyrol and VOrarlberg fifty-seven speci-
mems of German dialects have been OBJ
tanned, and another fOrty-seven from
Carinthia. The academy has also car
ried its quest far abroad. From New
Guinea have been sent thirty-two pho
nOgraphs recording the language and
music of the natives, with especially
interesting war songs and the accom-

Signor Boni has come to an inter.
esting conclusion with regard TO
many Of the buildings belonging to

really composed of tiles, obtained in
millions from the great conhagrations
that devastated Rome. The aqueduct

and the Via Appia including the inter-
nal part of the tomb of Cecilia Metel-

formed of thees remains.
This would entirely alter the dates
attributed to many buildings, which
were formerly supposed to be unques-
tionably fixed by the stamps of the

there he watches admiringly the op-

How to Find a eas.Leak.

The folly Of hunting for a leak In .
gas-plpe with lighted match Is not
so much because of the danger Of an
explosion as Of other damage, as is
shown BY the experience of West
Philadelphia householder last week.
One or two small leaks were detected
by going over all the pipes and hold
ing a lighted match 70 them. me
smell of gas ceased, but was replaced
few hours later by the smell OF
burning wood Another visit to the
cellar showed charred floor joIst p
little distance above a gas-pipe, There
was no apparent cause for this until
1t yeTy GlUse examination discovered
that q tiny JET OF gas was issuing from
the pipe beneath the beam, It was
lighted, bnt was so small as To be blue
in color and nearly invisible. 1t had
been lighted by the match used in the
first investigation, but had not been
noticed. IF that leak had hanre"'
to, be in lead joint tnstoc-,'--o' r,ned
F-L-" ni4fa- ~ tr-'9aq VI gu IRON
connection" said a gas man, there
would probably have been work for
the fire department, The smallest
possible jet OF lighted gas issuing
through lead will in time heat and
melt the lead and make the leak larg-
err, until a big fame is issuing, This
may make fire hours later, in the
dead of night Of AT q time when no
one is in the house. The only proper
way to look for these very small
leaks is to paint the suspected pipe
with a smooth soap lather, Just as in
the case of a bicycle tire, the tlniest
leak will blow bubble in the lather,
and there you are" Philadelphia

The simple English affirmative Is be-
coming somewhat battered in common
speech. "Yes' has Ions sounded as
"yus" from the lip of the uneducated.
But there is a present tendency among
the educated to adopt the American
variants upon the word. America has
found that an open vowel or labial
is easier to pronounce than sibilant.
And it has two substitutes for yes "
One of them is yep" and the other is
"yah." Obviously the yah comes
through the influence of the simple
German ga" which is quite an ele'
mental sound. Yep" on the other
hand, is clearly protest against the
waste of time in getting tongue, pal
ate and teeth in n position TO hiss.
Phonetic laziness is what the late pro-
fessor Max Muller would call it.-Lon-
