~ rnat the property of sharpness was
conceived of by these ancestors from
handling shells, the first knives that
man knew. That cutting edge was re-
ferred to by "ak" long before the most
primitive people had learned to put
an edge on flint When these Aryans
wanted to express the idea of sharp
ness of mind they used the same word.
This root went into the Greek, where
1t became "akros," meaning pointed.
In Sanskrlt it is "acre," meaning the
same thing. in the Latin we find
"acrimonia," signifying sharpness, from
which our "acrid" comes. The Latin
also has "acer," meaning sharp. and
"acus," needle. In the Apglo-Saxon
It became "eag," an edge. So the idea
of sharpness runs all the way through,
and we have 1t in our "acld," acute"
ledge" and "ax" as well as in 'acrid"
and "acumen. n."-Argonaut

The Alexandrian Library.

Omar. fanatical caliph who over
ran Egypt about the middle Of the sew
enth century, proclaimed that, since
the Koran contained everything that
human beings ought to read, no other
books had any right TO exist. so he
condemned to destruction the immense
library at Alexandria founded by the
Ptolemies and constantly enlarged by
their successors until the advent of
the Saracens. How enormous 1t was
can be imagined from the fact that for
six months the manuscripts supplied
the fuel of 1000 public baths. 1t was
the most terrible blow ever inflicted
upon literature.

Says His Mind Not Right on
Day of Murder
Rogers Murder Tnsl at Lima Is
Nearing Its Close and Attracts 9
Deal Of Attension Locally.

Mrs. Lucy RDdgers, OF Flies ave-
nue.. this city, was in Lima, Saturday
where she testified in the case of her
son, Frank Rodgers formerly of this
city. who is chRrged with the mur-
der of his friend Daniel w. Will
liams, OF Belle Center Totterng
to the stand, Saturday Afternoon, Mrs.
Rodgers testified in straightforward
manner and her Testimony was of
much Importance in the case.
When asked Il her son had been In
good health Mrs. Rodgers stated
that he had nepar been right" and
that he had acted very peculiarly
since taking box OF rat poison in a
suicidal attempt five years ago. She
said that at that time he took half
pint Of rough ,on rats" and that
his attempt at ending himself was a
desperate one. Various instances of
the weak mentality of ner boy were
narrated by the seed woman and her
testimony was peculiarly interesting.
Frank Rodgers himself took the
stand shortly before the mother and
he stated that early on the day OF
the murder his ssIses left him very
suddenly and he confessed that he
had been drinking heavily. His tes-
timony appeared NOT convincing in
any manner.
The evidence ina the case was COM
pleted Saturday afternoon and Pros
ecutor Weity began this argument at
leo o'clock Saturtay afternoon.
Zach side will take three hours for
argument. The law firm OF Mouser
and Maloney represenfs the defend
ant in the case and court was ad-
journed Saturday afternoon at four
O'Clock In order TO allGw the attor-
neys for the defense ttme to catch
train for this city. Messrs.

go to the jury this evening.
