THE JARaoN OF SCIENCE.
Too Much Of It in England Prevents
the Spreading Of knowledge.

The inarticulate Englishman has al.
most become proverbial. At one time
all over the European continent his
lack Of language and liking for EN-.
phasis combined to make him known
as "Monsieur Goddam," and even in
these twentieth century days, it is his
habit to restrict himself 20 few con-
ventional forms of expression. SO gen.
eral, in fact, is this popularity, even
with the educated classes, that recent
American visitor to British shores, Mr.
Don NJ. Dickinson, recorded in his note
book that the only Englishmen who
spoke English were the journalists.
A plant along the same lines has
been made recently in high quarters,
and the discussion that has followed
has ELECTED some rather interesting
statements. Lord Dunedin, in propos-
ing the toast of "The Royal Society"
at the annual banquet of that associa-
ton, declared that the popularization
of science was one of the functions of
society which existed for the promo
ton of natural knowledge, from which
the obvious inference was drawn that
the neglect of science in Great Britain
was largely due to the indifference
shown by scientific men TO the average
reader. Few men Of science, it was
pointed out, made any attempt to de
scribe their Investigations in language
which could be understood by the or
dinarily well-edueated reader who had
no special scientific knowledge.
Prof. M. f. Sadler thereupon sug-
gested that the neglect of the teaching
of the mother tongue in English schools
was reason why so many Englishmen
of learning and high scientific attain
ments were "unable to express them
selves in lucid and stimulating way. +"
While agreeing with this general
proposition, the scientific weekly, Ma.
ture, points out that, Though rhetoric
receives more attention in the United
States than it does in his country, the
style of scientific papers and other
works from America is not superior to
that ouf our own scientific literature. -
This, however, has nothing to do with
the point really at issue.-Special Cable

FASTEST Animal.

"a greyhound is probably the fast.
est creature that moves upon the
earth, says breeder of those animals.
at is on record that greyhound beat
the famous race horse Flying Childers.
An absolute trial between horse and
greyhound is difficult to bring off be-
cause, while the horse can be ridden
at top speed, it is impossible to insure
that the greyhound will run all he
can But dog that can start, say
fifty yards behind hare and overtake
il within another fifty, and this is
about what a greyhound does, must
surely be faster than anything else

AGAIN
ROAM THE PLAINS
GOVERNMENT SENDS IT'S DE-
PLETED HERD OF FIFTEEN TO
OKLAHOMA FOREST.

WASHINGTON, January 1l.-Uncle
Sam Is herd of fifteen buffalos which
were taken from the New York .Zoolog'
cal al gardens to the Wichita national
forest, Oklahoma, in the early fall, are
doing well in their new home, accord
ing to advices which have been re-
eeived here from the supervisors head
quarters at Cache. Since leaving New
York the herd has celebrated the birth
Of two fine buffalo calves, one of which
has been named Hornaday, after the
name of the director of the New York
gardens, which gave them to the gov
eminent, and the other Oklahoma, after
the new state which was also just born
after the herd s arrival.
Keeper Frank Rush.. an old cow
puncher and experienced buffalo man,
who has handled the herd since it was
taken from New York, says that al
falfa hay has put his charges in fine
shape and that the big prairie beasts
are again thriving in their native land.
The buffalos have an 5000 acre fenced
park in the Wichita forest in which
they can charge and snort. During the
winter the animals will be fed alfalfa
hay and protected from the weather
and disease in number of large shell
'er sheds which have been built in the
enclosure. In the spring they will be
let out to roam over the Wichita range
and gradually they will be encouraged
to rustic for themselves, an instinct
they have partially lost through years
of domestieation in city parks. Gov.
eminent experts figure that in time
they will regain the prowess of their
forefathers, who were kings of the
plains before civilization made its
march westward.

DEAN sWIFTs DISPLAY OF WIT.
His Marriage Of Country Couple
Caught in a Storm.

II is related OF the whimsical Dean
Swift that on one occasion, when
caught in a shower OF rain, he took
shelter under a tree. where he found
party of young people waiting for
the storm TO cease.
One, girl, was weeping, and the
Dean learned that she was on her
way to church to marry a young fell
low who was with her.
The party were walking, as was
then the custom in country districts,
but owing to the storm 1t seemed very
much as II the ceremony would not
take place that day.
Never mind said the Dean, I'll
marry you"
He took up his prayer book, and
there and then performed the cere-
mony. At the finish he tore leaf out
of his pocket book, and with pencil
wrote and signed a certificate, which
he handed to the bride Besides the
names and the date, there was the
following
Under a tree, in stormy weather.
| married this man and woman together;
Let none but Him who rules the thunder
Sever this man and woman asunder."

that OF the sandpiper, while among
mammals the highest Is l4.4, In a

heart weight of member OF the

There is Richmond man Of some

count Of the incident, he was sitting
on the back porch of his house over

for the fun of the thing, his wife the
meantime entertaining some smart"

ness the day before election and the
next day drove to the polling place in
Library hall to cast his vote. He was
mot in his usual good health at that
time and what was considered then
ito be only a severe cold had since con-
fined him to the house. He had been
out OF doors a few times and ii was
not until shortly before his death that
his condition became alarming. Some
three years ago he experienced a sew
ere attack of rheumatism which left
him with a weak heart and in condit
ion to become victim OF pneumonia
which was the ultimate cause OF
death.
The deceased was a native of Ben
lnington, having been born here June
a. 1868. His father was Heman
lockwood and his mother Ruth
IStratton lockwood. During the lar
ger portion OF his life since reaching
manhood he had followed the profes-
sion of an artist but recently engaged
in the real estate business with unusu-
Ial success.
He is survived by widow, who was
the daughter of Salem White, his
mother, Mrs. Ruth lockwood. two
sisters, Mrs. Almira DEMO of Benning-
ton and Mrs. Alice Harrington OF
SALISBURY and three brothers, Frank
y. of North Adams, Elmer +. of Ben

The funeral will be held at his late
residence at 2 o'clock Saturday after
noon. Rev. George S. Mills, pastor of
the Second Congregational church will
Iofflciate and the interment will be In
the Bennington village cemetery.
The death of Sheldon lockwood
will be a distinct loss to the commun-
Iity. He was thoroughly identified
with the business and social interests
Iof the town and always ready TO as
sist in any project looking to its well
fare, OF genial vigorous tempera-
Iment which was seldom RULED he
nevertheless had the courage of his
convictions. He believed in himself
and in his friends to whom no man
was more loyal. He was keen
sportsman with strong attachment
for the streams and woods and n
strenuous supporter of the boys in
their pastimes. After he was con.
fined to the house a delegation of boys
whose devotion to baseball had be-
come too vigorous for the neighbor-
hood, called upon him to have their
case adjusted, knowing that his eff
forts would be eXorted in their be.
half.
Mr.. lockwood was a member of the
Bennington club, of the Bennington
lodge of Elks of Stark lodge, !. o. O..
F., of Vincitia lodge, Knights of Pyth-
las, Bennington court of Foresters
and Bennington Grange, Patrons OF
Husbandry. He was also an honorary
member of the Canadian club and of
the Bennington City band. He has
been a member of the board of license
commissioners four years and chair
man of the board two years.
