The Name, ..Ralph Connor."

But about Ralph Connor." We
had decided upon a name for the
story, but not for the man who wrote
it. The manuscript reached me just
in time for the issue for January,
1897. 1t would not do to give the
authors name, for the text of the tale
might be regarded by some as out of
keeping with the conventions of the
clerical profession. What name shall
it be? was the question sent to Winni-
peg. At the last moment a. telegram
came: "Sign sketch Cannon" Can
nor? That would not do. That would
betray the fact of a mask. He must
have a proper name. But why Can
nor? Perhaps the operator made a
mistake. Should it be Conner? More
likely. But he must be given a
Christian name, even though he con-
sorts with heather of various types.
What shall we chisten this newborn
Canadian litterateur? Frank"
Christ" "Fred?" No, none of these
would suit. Here it is: Ralph"
"Ralph Connor!" And it was so.
Without his knowledge or consent
he was introduced to the world with
that new-coined name to make or
mar. When he got his copy of THE
Westminster" in Winnipeg that week
he turned to page IA and saw the
cross-page heading, "Tales from the
Selkirks. BY Ralph Connor."
What he said, when he saw himself
as the world was yet to know him,
has not been told. No n was by to
hear. Something western, no doubt,
befitting his new role. Il meant
Cannon" he wrote a day or two af-
forwards. Ralph Conner isn't bad
rather Irish for me, but | guess |
can stand it. I'll try to live up to it."

nor" by J. A. Macdonald, The Book

NEW WEATHER WARNER.
Simple Instrument Which Can Be
Made at Home.

IstON u kIOiitts
The weather prophet who desires
honor even in his own country must
consult the changes in his barometer,
thermometer and microscope togethe
before he can prophecy with the
slightest degree of confidence. A
clever instrument which gives this
compound warning has been devised
and fully described by Richard In
wards.
1t is so simple that it can be col
structed by any one possessing pa
thence and a little ingenuity. An in
verified flask containing only air hangs
with it's necks submerged in water
over which a film of oil has been
spread to check evaporation. The
suspending cord passes over a pulley
to a counterweight in such a manne
that as the flash rises or falls ir
obedience to changes of temperature
and barometric pressure the pulley
turns upon it's axis. That axis is hol-
low and contains a piece of twisted
catgut fixed to the axis at one end
and attached to an index finger at the
other, so that the atmospheric fleet
upon the catgut is added to the mo-
ton produced by the floating flask
Perhaps a difficulty may present itself
in the posing of this hollow spindle
with sufficient delicacy to respond to
the slight changes in the weight OF
the flask, but that should not prove
to be insuperable:
The device is at one simple and
economical, and the construction OF
such an instrument is by no means
so difficult as a first reading of tho
description seems to suggest.

Munsterberg Challenges
the Simplified Spelling Board.

Ine oiIlllI1itu ODClIttiS IbVufo
1.-The Simplified Spelling Board has
every reason to spell Success with a
capital. President Roosevelt marches
ID front of the army, brilliant schol-
ar carry the colors, eminent authors
bead the drum, great dictionary maxi
ers belong to the general staff, and
Andrew Carnegie looks after the pay
roll" writes Hugo Munsterberg, Har-
wards eminent psychologist, in the
November McClure's.
In one of the most brilliant and
timely articles that has appeared OIL
the subject, Professor Munsterberg
throws down the gauntlet to this for
midable array, and as a foreigner, a
psychologist, and an educator, he ar
raigns the whole Simplified Spelling
movement.
His satirical protest on behalf of
the foreigner-whom the Simpliied
Spelling is especially designed to ben
efit-is amusing and to the point.
LET us take an illustration refer
ring to a large proportion of the three
hundred words destined for mutila-
tion," he suggests. For the school
boy, who begins with the conjuga-
ton, nothing is easier than to learn
that the ending ed indicates the par
ticiple. Nothing, perhaps, gives to
the eye of the foreign reader such a
feeling of safety. That is now gone;
the poor boy will have simply to learn
by heart the sixty-two new verbs
whose participle goes in future with
out this 'ed~'-ifcation. 1 hear whole
classes reciting sadly, Exceptions
from the rule of ed are addrest, af-
fixt, blest, blusht, carest, chapt, clapt,
clipt, comprest, contest, and SO forth
And ig the grammar copies its infor-
nation from the Circular of the Spell
ing Board itself, those poor children
will read the list of exceptions in a
paragraph which itself contains the
participles spelled, mentioned, handi-
capped, ignored, and Others which
seem to them of the same order"
Professor M~unsterberg sums up
clearly and precisely the psychologist
al objection to simplifying" our
spelling. Gust as well might we
to close one eye in reading
he declares, "for the reason that the
nervous processes in the second open
eve and in the corresponding half OF
the brain are a sameful waste of
neuron activity. Simplicity and uni
formity are the only real waste, be-
cause they demand from us an
amount of attention which is ruinous
in it's emulation; they perhaps re-
duce the expense for printers ink;
but they increase neurasthen1a among
the millions of newspaper leaders,.

KNITTED MAN TO ROB HIM.
Daylight Assault by Assassin Crazed
by Hunger.

Walter c. Pearson, a salesman living In
Hoboken. N. j., and employed by whisky
manufacturing firm in New York, was
o'clock yesterday morning when a poorly
dressed youth, wearing weeks growth of
beard. who was following a few steps be-
hind increased his pace until he reached
Pearson. As Pearson turned to go into a
cigar store at the corner the youth behind
him pulled out of his pocket a black leather
case containing a pointed fruit knife and
throust the blade with all his power into
Pearson's back between the shoulder
blades. Pearson turned around and then
fell The assailant was seized and held until
a policeman came. The knife with an inch
of the blade broken off in Pearson's body,
was still in the prisoners hand
Pearson was removed to a nearby drug
store and the prisoner was taken before
him. Pearson had never seen him before and
could not imagine why the man had tried
to kill him. He may have planned to rob
me, but he had no way of knowing that
have 500 in my hip pocket" said Pearson.
After the injured man had been removed
to the New York Hospital the prisoner, who
said he was John Earle, twenty-five years
old, was taken to Jefferson Market court.
In reply to questions when arraigned on
charge of felonious assault, he said, in
dazed way:
II made up my mind to kill some one and
rob him. l was hungry. I had eaten nothing
since Friday night. The knife stole on Sat-
urday from a push-cart peddler. had
never before seen the man l stabbed. He
was the first to come along and I tackled
him.
Magistrate Ffnelite committed him for
five days to have his sanitay inquired into.
