Slanu of Other Days.

Slang has always been fruitful source for the expansion of language, and instances may be multiplied of words now respectable which were once taboced as vulgarisms. But, on the other hand, there have been many slang phrases in use for centuries which have never become accepta ble to the purists. As long ago as 1750 tho celebrated letter writer Horace Wal pole used to speak of "sitting guzzling' and getting drunk as an owl" Then again in the diary of one of the most prominent woman writers of the eight. eenth century. Frances Burney, ars found good slang phrases of the Amer. lean college girl of today, as, for in- stance, T sneaked out" Did you ever know such toad?' and "I had . vile cold."-St Louis Republic.

Hyperhoie.

A Rochester clergyman was aceus- toned to use scientific terms, which the people did not understand. A deputa- ton waited on him with the request that in the future whenever he used such terms he would explain them. On the following Sunday he used the term hyperbole and added: "As agreed on, I beg to explain this word. Were l to cay that at this moment the whole of my congregation are sound asleep it would be hyperbole, but if say that one-half are asleep that Is no hyper bole, but the truth" The next day tho deputation again called to say that tho minister need not explain technical terms. The people would learn their meaning from a dictionary.-Rochester Herald.

BELFAST, August 81, 1905.
Belfast has two celebrated ship
wards which launched 49, 300 tons of
steamers in 1907 and 1oo.42s tons
In 1908. The firm of Harland Il
Wolff launched 74,11o tons, and Work
man, Clark & Co. 1884. Harland Il
Wolff ranked fourth in the order of Brit
ish shipyards. and Workman, Clark d Co.
stand ninth in the list.
The latter firm built the first ocean
turbine steamers. and Harland & Wolf
the first ocean greyhound. the Oceanic,
in 1870 which was the pioneer of fast
sailing on the Atlantic. and notable adj
vance in the science of navigation she
was an epoch-making vessel from the
point of view of naval architects. because
Of her general design and construction, be-
ing of much greater length in proportion
to her beam than any that had ever oeen
built UP till that time. She also repre-
sened the first attempt to insure the maxi
m,rn of comfort and luxury in ocean
travel by sacrificing freight space TO pas
senger accommodations. and in her Tor
the first time. the saloons and cabins were
located amidships. Since then all OF the
steamship companies have adopted the
same plan. and the comfort and con-
veniences that are now found upon ocean
vessels have no doubt enormously in
Crea sed the passenger traffic.
Harland & Wolff also are pioneers in the
construction of large vessels. They built
the entire feet of the White Star line and
several of the principal ships of the HAM
burg-Amercan line. which, until the Lusi-
tana and Mauretania were launched,
were the largest ever constructed

The following is a list of the recent

wards:

More Than Forty Thousand Columns
1t is a delightful ride along the rocky
cliffs that have been worn into fantastic
forms by the incessant pounding of the
ocean, and although many people express
their disappointment at the Giants Cause
way it Is we'll worth a visit because it
is unique in geology. \ stream of lava,
at the most 1900 feet wide and about
10 miles long, was arrested by some
means upon the extreme north coast of
Ireland. and in cooling took the form of
detached columns from six 10 thirty
feet long and from eight to twenty-four
inches in diameter. There are more than
10000 of these columns in three parallel
smooth surface, but they are all sep
arate and no two of them are of the same
size or shape. There is said to be only
one triangle, only one nonagon, and only
one of diamond shape in all the forty
thousand. Most of them are peptagonS
and heXagons and octagons.
In one place on the cliff there has been
a landslide. which has thrown the pillars
in this locality into horizontal positions,
but elsewhere along the coast they are
upright. At what is called the Giant s
Loom The columns are exposed for about
thirty feet but 1.-THE rest of them form a
curious ana extraordinary mosaic floor

monOiithS 40 Ifar as can be seen. but they
are divided into drums about two feet in
thickness, which Fit into each other Ii e

The geolegists' generally agree thatthese
extraordinarily forms are the result of the
contraction 1anda division of the lava in
cooling. The process may be illustrated
by the experiments with ordinary laun-
dry starch. which takes the form OF
similar miniature columns when it cools.

The Malodorous Plakt.

Mr.. Thomas c. Platt. OF New York.
who adheres to but does not adorn the
United States Senate, is spared much
legal inconvenience by the failure OF the
suit brought by Miss Mae Wood to estab-
lish her marriage with him, and it helps
him, for the time at least, out OF the
embarrassing and. we believe. unique
position Of having one woman suing him
for divorce while another woman was
suing him for matrimony.
But the Senator from New York is
denied the privilege Of laying the flat
tering unction TO his soul that because
Of the failure Of this suit he stands clear
ed in public opinion. 1t may be that the
Wood woman, now in the Tombs await
ing trial for perjury, is a criminal,
but this fact detracts in no way from the
force OF that other fact that Thomas
c. Platt paid $4,000 for the recovery OF
letters which he had written to her. She
goes to prison; Mr.. Thomas c. Piatt
goes back to the United States Senate,
1t is not a nice spectacle for the Ameri-
can public to contemplate. this public
servant, three times elected TO tho Senate
Of the United States. having his follies
and frailties published to the world.
Nearly seventy-five years Of age. and with
infrmity stamped upon him. he had to
be lifted into the witness chair in court
by his attendants. Decrepitude and turpi-
tude have done their work.
II is n sorry and maiodorous spectacle
that this old man presents. His sins and
his weaknesses have found him out. There
is no excuse. either in any fancied abili-
ties he may possess or in any service
which as a public servant he may have
rendered 10 the community, for his ex-
pecting public condonation Of his shame.
The least he can do is to resign at
once his membership in the United States
Senate. He owes this much TO that body
and to his State.

CONSERVATION COMMISSIONS.
Creation of National and state
Bodies the Next Step.

From the Engineering News
The deliberations Of the conference
clearly brought out the need. first Of all.
for broader knowledge. Many men Of na-
tional prominence confessed frankly in
the conference that the whole subject
was a new one 10 them, and they could
only listen and learn, and not pretend 70
give advice. The need for legislation.
State and national IS evident. as was
recited in the formal resolutions: but
what form shall such legislation take? A?
Is Congress or are the State legislatures
wise enough TO frame and enact laws
upon this subject? Do they not need the
counsel and advice in every case OF a
commission, made up Of men of high
standing. which could take up this great
question. investigate 1t with the aid OF
the best technical experts, and advise
what action should be taken?
Such commission could study possible
legislation for conservation. and so plan
II as 10 effect the least interference with
present methods and existing business.
Such a commission could arouse and en-
tighten the public to the dangers Of the
present situation and the need for prompt
and wise action. Without such educative
work on public opinion Il is much to be
feared that legislation will be slow, halt
ing, and frequently Injurious, rather than
beneficial
While most of the work we have out
lined could be done far more successfully
and economically by a single national
commission than by fifty separate State
commissions, the formation OF such State
commissions will also be highly advan-
tageous. Such bodies would have far
greater local influence in bringing about
necessary State legislation than any Fed
eral commission. Cooperation between
State and Federal commissions could be
easily arranged TO avoid duplication of
work and secure concentration Of in
fluence.
The creation OF such national and State
commissions 10 investigate and advise as
to the conservation of natural resources
Is the next forward step to be sought,
and II Is to this end that every citizen
alive to the dangers OF our present waste
ful and ruinous policy toward our natural
wealth should exert all his influence.

Honesty and Nsar.honesty.

we quote the following:

Rabies a Real Disease

The tragic death OF a New Yorker in
fected with hydrophobia by a pet dog has
aroused anew the discussion whether
rabies is a real or a simulated disease-a
discussion which, in the present state Of
scientihc knowledge, Is about as sensible
as a controversy as to whether the earth
is round or fiat Popular skepticism re-
specting the existence OF rabies, how
ever, IS dangerous, and It may be worth
while 20 assert that the most careful in
vestigations absolutely prove the existence
OF a specific and definite maIady in both
men and animals due to the presence in
the brain and spinal cord Of what are
known as 'negri bodies and this disease
is hydrophobia- II is one OF the most
fearful amictlons that comes TO man
kind. differing altogether from the
nervous affection due to fear OF rabies.
which is designated as lyssophobia
Fortunately there is a preventive Of
rabies in the Pasteur treatment. which,
if taken in time. usually neutralizes the
infection and saves the victim.
A recent bulletin issued by the Depart
ment OF Agriculture shows that the dis
ease is much more prevalent than is
commonly supposed. But. as the ex-
perience Of England and Germany proves
it is a disease that may be easily stamped
out BY proper regulation OF the care and
keeping Of dogs. The department strong
" favors the muzzling of dogs, n remedy
which would be entirely effective. In
practice. this regulation has been found
difficult to enforce in this country. on
account of the objections Of dog-lovers.
who insist that 1t Is cruel and Irritating
In default OF muzzling, the destruction Of
stray animals and little vigilance on
the part of dog owners ought 10 reduce
the danger Of rabies TO minimum. The
disease is often discernibie at it's incep-
tion. and any dog showing the slightest
symptom Of irrita0ility or change in dis
