MEANING OF explode" CHANGED.
Formerly Meant to Send Out From
Actors Exploded.

Explosive" was first used in its mod
ern sense in the first quarter of the nine
teenth century. Explode in the sense
of blow up or go Off is scarcely
century older.
Before that people talked of ball be-
ing "exploded' from a gun, the clouds
exploding" lightning, or a volcano EEK
ploding" lava. But that was very much
near the words original sense of driy-
ing away with scorn.
Explode" in fact, is literally to clap
away. and was a technical word for driy-
ing an actor off the stage by contemp-
tuous handclapping. That is the real
meaning of an "eYploded idea"

CARE IN STAMPING ENVELOPES.
In England Mail Not Properly Prepared
Is DELAYED

THE only way to stop people from
plastering a stamp at any old place upon
the envelope, except the right one, is
to do as is done in England.
'"There letter which does not have
the stamp in the right position is cast
aside and handled only when all other
mail is sorted and exchanged"
/ This idea was advanced by n postal
clerk. I'VE often lose considerable time
because of these letters" continued the
clerk, for often we have to stop and
turn over an envelope to find the stamp.
THE worse offenders in this respect
are not foreigners, but those who have
lived here for years"
