Lizard Head on Mount Wilson Has De-

where else can be found whole groups
Of mountains rearing their heads to

Mount Wilson IA, 200 feet--the dom
inant peak, is one Of the most massive
in the entire Rocky mountain range.
Just east OF this mountain Is the re
markahle trachyte obellsk called Liz
ard head. The vivid imagination of
an early pioneer who had been seeing
things Is said to be responsible for
the name.
The summit is 14,160 feet above, the
sea. From a ponderous base the pin
nacle rises 200 feet with a diameter at
the foot Of only about sixty feet, grad
ually tapefing TO less than half that at
the top.

Of mountain climbers to reach It's SUM-

past.

THE WORD "oUAcK"


It's Origin Traced Back to the Sixteenth
Century.
The original and acquired meanings
Of many an old word have been clear
ed up In the law courts. When ''quack''
had Its turn, Sir Edward Clarke. who
was probably quoting dictionary. de-
fined the word as "a boastful pretend
er to medical skill" "Quack' is UNI
doubtedly derived by suggestion from
the quacking Of duck. The quack
doctor has always substituted volu-
biity for knowledge. "Quacker" and
'quaclsing cheat were sixteenth cen
fury words. "Quack" In its present
sense is certainly as old as 1906. when
1t was included in the earliest OF our
slang dictionaries. The original word
was quicksilver travelling empiric
who quacked about his salves, and.
according to Henley and Farmer, the
dramatist Wycherly first shortened this
word to "Quack."
The full term, quack doctor, is found
at least as early as ITO. when these
words were used as title to the Earl
OF Rochesters mountebank speech on
Tower hill This witty and profigate
nobleman (he is always called witty
and profiigate) took It into his head to
disappear from bis friends and appear
to the mob on Tower hill as a quack
doctor. The speech he made on that
occasion has been preserved, and 1t
shows that quack oratory has gained
nothing since
1t is not all printable in these polite
pages, but the following passage will
show its character:
1.-THE cures l have done are as In.
credible as innumerable. Toured Prester
Johns godmother OF stupendous dolor
In her os saerum, which had like to
cost the good lady the perditlon Of her
buckle bone. cur'd the Empress Of
Boolmapo OF cramp she got In her
tongue by eating pork and butter'd
parsnipa. cur'd an alderman Of
Grand Cairo Of scarlet, burning. rag
ing fever, Of which he dy'd. / cur'd
the Emperor OF Morocco, who lay sew
en- years sick Of the plague. / cur'd
him in forty-two minutes SO that he
danc'd the serabrand, hipfap and Som
erset to the admiration of his whole
court. For my pains be presented me
with 5000 Hungarian ducats and a
Turkish cymeter Verbum sat saplenti.
No cure, no money"
! doubt very much whether Sir Ed
ward Clarke WIS right in saying that
the word "quack" was revived by
Carlyle after 1t had died out so use
full word is not likely to have been
dropped, though in Carlyle's vocabu-
larry Of denunciation 1t certainly took
on new Importance. 1t was from
court Of law, by the way. that Carlyle
obtained the word gig which, with
ferocious glee, he never ceased to use
as symbol OF SNUG responsibility.
The trial Of Thurtell at HEREFORD as
sizes for the murder Of Mr.. Weare pro-
dnced the following dialogue;
what sort Of person was Mr..
WeareT"
He was always a most respectable
person"
What do you mean By respectabley'
'He kept gig"
Carlyle's sardonic humor seized on
this, and ever after when be was
storming at responsibilities and unreal
flies gigs" were not far from his
mind He even applied the word gig
manitr" to those classes Of society
which held the gig ideal. John
