sonfE NICETLES OF SPEECH.

An Interesting development of international
nbiloogics is to be perceived in the widespread
curiosity which is reported to prevail in Great
Britain. both popularity and academically, con-
corning the etymology and precise significance
of the word "lallapaIoosa" which has long
formed so indispensable member of the Amer
lean vocabulary. Letters are written to critical
Journals and the demand for chronological die
tionaries has perceptibly increased without Sc
curing entire satisfaction for the public mind.
Parliament is not now in session, so that no
question on the subject can be propounded to the
Treasury Bench and for the same reason the
annointment of a royal commission the sub
iect is impracticable. Nevertheless. it seems de-
sirabe that some authentic pronouncement shall
be made. and must regret that the existing
dictionaries which are considered standard in
the United Kingdom do not adequately meet this
widely felt want. Mr.. Murray's great lexicon
has not yet we believe. reached "Lal' in its
alphabetical progress.
1t is not surprising that our British kinsmen
are at a loss to appreciate the precise signif1-
canoe of the word, although they are, of course,
familiar enough with its general meaning.
There are subtle nicetieS of speech such as dis
tinctiOns between words which might tech
nically term near-synonymes, which are TO be
perfectly understood without effort by only those
who are as it were, to the manner born. An
Englishman or an American, for example, could
not make the mistake which a Tibetan or a Con-
golese might make of calling Niagara lust too
cunning for anything or of describing hum
ming bird as sublime" He would almost in
stinctively know that while the words in ques-
tion are all in a sense synonymes, a crowd Of
sheen is better called a flock, and flock Of
fishes a school, and school Of bees a swarm,
and a swarm of swallows a flight, and a flight
of ruffans mob
Now it is precisely thus that 'lallapaloosa"
needs to be distinguished from the various other
words of similar, and, indeed, almost Identical
meaning The difference is not so much in the
intrinsic significance of the words as In their
apnlieation Thus an "umpalalla' approximates
very closely TO "lallapalOosa but the result
of attempting actually To identify one with the
other would be incongruOus similarly subtle
but none the less essential distinction in applca
ton is to be observed between each of these
words and "lahdedah." ''socdologer.' "corker,"
"sogwoggler" and various others. Each has its
OWN delicate but distinct and Indispensable char
acterstics of significance. and it Is upon the
feIicitous selection of precisely the right pf
them that the perfection of literary style de-
pends. \ copous vocabulary. rich in verbal
shadings. is the pride OF our language and liter
ature. but that very opulence may he source
of weakness and of error unless its resources

JUICE LET LOOSE.

Two Men Who Felled Tree on Power
Line Got Scare.
In the upper end Of the town OF Eden
two men, at least, now have an increased
respect for the innocent looking wires
which carry electric ''juice', from the
Ellsworth dam to Bar Harbor.
The power line runs through the pasture
of one OF the men, who sold the company
a right Of way for twenty-five feet each
side Of the line. One day last week the
land owner and helper were cutting
timber in the pasture. Among other trees
big spruce close to the right Of way was
selected to be felled. Both thought that
it would have plenty OF room to fall into
the clearing along the right Of way with
out hitting the wire. But the spruce was
longer than it appeared, and as it fell it
struck the wires.
Both men when they saw that the fall
ing tree would hit the wires, involuntarily
started toward it. A binding fash as
the tree reached the wires caused them
to change their minds. For few min
utes the air seemed to them full of red,
green and blue blszes,, and they did not
linger in the vicinity.
The display did not last long. Up here
in the power station at Ellsworth the al
most human machinery performed the
duty expected Of it. At the moment Of
contact with the tree the circuit breaker
at the power station was thrown, and the
power on the Bar Harbor line was auto
