SPELLING REFORM.

The Phonetic Phenomena of the Word
"Phenix."
They were talking about spelling re-
form and the idiosyncrasies Of English
spelling in general.
"There's that very word phonetic"
said one Of the men. 'That's a sample
Of English spelling. The reformers call
their system the phonetic SYSTEM and
yet they have to spell phonetic with a
pho in order to let people know what
they mean. The very word that means
spelled as pronounced is as far from
it as possible"
"Now, now" drawled his friend.
you're too hard IN the good old Eng
fish speller. You ought to be proud Of
phonetic Why, that word Is so trim
med down and sawed off and cut short
that I wouldn't know it was English If
I met it alone on a blank page. You
ought to thank the language for that
word. It is a beautiful word. That
pho might have been spelled like
dough and the net like 'ette' in 'ro-
sette' and the 'ic' like liQ' in liquor
That would be a good old style English
word-phoughnetteiq. But it is com
ing! Phonetic spelling is coming! Look
at the word 'phenix.' 1t is spelled 'phe-
nix everywhere now, and I remember
it always used to be phoenix That o.
has gone. That shows
"Nothing" said the objector. "What
does it show? That the phenix Is a
bird. Isn't the phenix a bird? Yes!
Well, that round thing you say was an
o. was an egg. That's all. Twas just
an egg, and the phenix laid the egg.
That's all."-Success Magazine.

HOW tho rcotxdid Sings.

Everybody is familiar with the rasD-
ing notes known as the katydid's
"song." 1t Is the male only that Is ca
pable Of emitting the well known
sounds. and he does it in a most pc
culiar manner. His vocal organs are
at the base Of his wings and consist Of
two fat cxcrescences of thin, dry
membrane. 1t Is the rubbing Of these
two membranous Plates together which
produces tile song" If your shoulder
blades We're SO loosely put together
that one could be slipped under IT,,
other and the underside OF one and the
upper side Of the other were SO rough
that the operation Of slipping them
past each other would cauGa a rasoiny
sound you could initiate the katydid's
musical efforts very nicely. q.

CURIOUS LAND LAW.
Owners I'm Belgium Do Not Control
Beyond . Certain Depth.

Owners I'm Belgium Do Not Control
Beyond = Certain Depth.
One of the curious phases Of the land
law In Belgium is that the earth of a
landowner beyond a certain depth does
not belong to him. Should the owner
Of the surface discover a coal or gold
deposit underlying his property he
must first obtain Il government conces
Sion before he can begin mining opera
tons. The land beyond the prescribed
depth In which wealth in the raw has
been discovered may be conceded to Il
person other than the surface owner,
who may operate under certain govern
ment regulations, II Of which is that
the owner OF the surface is entitied to
3 per cent Of the value extracted.
The mine pays to the government an
amount determined by the value and
Importance Of the concession, after
which it must pay to the government Il
sum proportional to the value Of til.
total extraction. The government
names the conditions under which the
mines as well as other Industrial esta,-
lishments shall he operated and pro-
tects and safeguards the health and
lives of the workmen as we'll as pro-
vides for the public safety.
The minister Of industry and labor

neers, authorized to regulate the work
