In the meantime the Manhattan Com
pany has been improving its opportu-
nifty. Great inroads into the face OF the
noble Clins have been a in the last
few weeks. Only recently secret agents
Of the Government stopped what would
have been the biggest blast ever set on
in thls part of the country. The com
pany had plsnned 20 accomplish with
one tremendous explosion the emOval
of enough trap rock from the top OF the
mountain 10 last for several years. The
tunnel driven into the mountain was
partially completed when the Govern
ment notified the company that they
would not be allowed to make such a
gigantic blast.
Several Ossining residents have begun
suits against the Manhattan Company

LANGUAGE EVOLUTION.

Use Of the Sufix aLess' In verba,
Nouns and Adjectives.
Many will remember that some years
ago there went on a violent contro-
yersy about the word tireless. The
discovery had been made that less
was suffix which could properly be
appended only to nouns; hence the
form must be discarded, and we must
all take pains to say untiring. The
duty Of so doing was preached from
scores of professional and newspaper
puIpits., No one seemed to think or
care for the various other. adjectives
similarly formed and therefore liable
to the similar censure which they
never received. Hostility was direct
ed against 1t alone The actual flaw
which yitiated the arguments against
[ tireless its censors never knew or took
into consideration. This was that the
fancied rule covering the creation Of
such words had practically long ceased
to be operative whenever new forma-
ton struck the sense Of the users of
language as being desirable. ~
PROFESSIONALLY in our earliest speech
the suffix "less'' when employed to
form adjectives was joined only with
nouns. But the general sloughing off
of nominal and verbal endings which
gent on in later centuries reduced a
great proportion Of substantives aud
verbs in the speech to precisely the
same form. In consequence the sense
Of any fundamental distinction lie
tween the two broke down in May
sways-in one way in particular. There
Is nothing easier in our speech than to
convert a verb into a noun or noun
into a verb. 1t is process which'fa
taken place constantly in the past and
Is liable to take place at any time in
the future, either at the will or the
whim of the writer or speaker
