Washinuton's Teeth,

1t produces a shock to learn that a
thief last night attempted to steal the
false teeth of George Washington
Possibly, however, 1t will be more OF
a shock to most of us to know that the
Father of his Country had to depend
upon false teeth at all. The teeth are
preserved as the most precious treas
ure i'm the museum of the Baltimore
College of Dental Surgery and. when
evidences were found that some van
dal had been trying to break in, we
are informed that the first thought of
the janitor was of the teeth" and
that the first thought of the dean of
the college was likewise of the well
fare of the teeth
So the "welfare of the teeth" seems to
be assured, whatever the welfare" of
false teeth may be. This set Of teeth
which is described as being crude and
complicated, was carved for Washing
ton from n solid block of ivory by
DR.. Greenwood of New York. 1t is
further said that the set must have
cost a small fortune, for at that time
ivory was very expensive. 1t is full
set Of both upper and lower jaws, fas-
tened together by a closely wired gold
spring. The workmanship Is pro-
nounced excellent and also the imita-
ton of nature.-Springfiel Republi-
can.

No, sir Joshua. who made the

And 1t Is needless to say that Judge

possibly could, saying to his friends In

GRAMMAR OF INDIAN TONGUES.
Elaborate and Difficult-How the Or
ders of Words Differ.

ders OF Words Differ.
Prof. A. L. Kroeber of the Universe
ty Of California, declares that Indian
languages are not all jargon, as Is pop
ularly believed, says the Scientific
American. In a pamphlet recently is
sued on the Yukuta and Yuki Ian
guages he affirms that Indian Ian
guages possess an elaborate and diff
ficult grammar, though this is unknown
to the Indians themselves, and must
be extracted by the investigation of
scientists.
The two languages which Professor
Kroeber selected for experiments had
absolutely no similar words. They are
more different than English and Rus
sian. The Yukuts and the Yuki are
not even in territorial contact, and
show no signs Of common origin. The
Yuki and Yukuts are located in the
interior OF south central California, in
the southern end Of the San Joaquin
valley. Though Prof. Kroeber found
that the grammatical structure Of their
language was identical at nearly ev-
cry point the words were wholly dis
similar. The two languages are like
houses on the same plan. but Of differ
ent material.
The sentence structure employed in
the two languages is full Of interest
The order of words differs quite thor
oughly. In Yukuts the adjective pre-
cedes the noun, in Yuki 1t follows.
Yakuts tend to place the verb at the
head Of the sentence. Yuki at the end
The numerical systems Of the two Ian
guages are radically different. That
of the Yukuts Is decimal, Of Yuki
quaternary.
1t is noted by Doctor Kroeber that
California has more totally distinct In
dian language per square mile than
any other state. The reason for this
great variety of languages has never
been properly accounted for.
