There are some very funny stories

| language into strange forms. Thus,
the pope is even today called by the
name "pontifeX." which boys In the
Latin class all know is taken by him
from the title of the old X imam priests.
Now ''pOntifeX" means bridge builder,
and it is true that the Roman priests
h the early days Of the republic were
In charge OF bridges, but probably it
should l." 'pomptifcN." meaning max
er Of ceremonies" Many of you have
wondered what the priest had to DC
with bridge building. and this little
change OF mt to mp" makes Me
whole matter clear.
An astonishing derivation is that Of
the word STRANGER" which we are told
comes from the Greek word ey, or out
of. Absurd ns this seems. it is easy to
understand. Tx means out, from or
away, the same word rs the Latin ex !;
hence comes extra Then comes the
Latin cXtrancuS. which means outside.
The old French word. from this,
sstrange. means an outsider. but
sstrangc gave u; the word stranger
by dropping the and stranger by
dropping the @.
After this serious example we shall
not be surprised ut the old joke that
