The First. Language.

No one Of. the existing languages
has any Legitimate claim to be con
sidered the original of the family Of
lar ;uages. standing to the other as
La n, for instance, stands to Italian
and French. Or an original primitive
language Of mankind the most patient
research has found no trace. All Of
them -Assyrian. Phoenician. Hebrew
.Arabic-4are sister languages, pointint
back to an earlier parent language
which has long disappeared. Since
the historical period man has done lit
tie in the way Of the absolute crea'
ton of language. The work had al
ready been accomplished ages before
the birth of written inscriptions.

A new method of Identification Of

of photographs taken OF the veins on

at the wrist is restrained, and the
veins are then photographed. This
photograph, Professor Tomassia says

proof, whereas criminals now under
stand that with an ordinary razor
they can operate on their own hands
without much pain or Inconvenience,
and may change the pattern Of the
finger print beyond chance Of idcnu-
fication.
To burn the finger tips Is more pain.

HOW DOE SAVED HER FAWN.
Instance of Maternal Intelligence Told
by a French Writer.

The following anecdote is related by M.
x. Raspail 1t is worthy of comparison
with the most remarkable of instances
Of the same kind.
The author one day perceived a doe
in full flight before two dogs in the Aigle
woods that form a part of the forest of
Chantily. The doe was accompanied by
a very young fawn which appeared quite
exhausted and ready to drop. The
mother, doubtless well aware of this,
slackened her pace and presently stopped
close to some thick bramble bushes. She
remained some time there with lowered
head as if awaiting the onset of her pur-
suers.
Suddenly an idea seemed to strike her
and with butt of the head she tossed
her faWn right in the middle of the
thicket. Then first advancing gently as
if to make sure it was well hidden she
soon set off by rapid bounds in front of
the dogs. The latter barking close upon
her heels, she made sudden bend and
thus drew them far from the spot where
this incident occurred. The bowling of
the dogs became fainter and fainter, the
Two kilometers away into the Canardiere
scent.
In fact after they were seen returning
TO the village in an exhausted condition,
while the intelligent mother doubtless re-
turned to the bushes to find the little
lawn she had SO cleverly ridden and
placed in EXPERIMENTATION Scienti-

LEGATION is GONE.
Nicaragua No Longer Has Diplomatic
Representative at Washington.

Washington, Dec. S.-The Nicaraguan
legation here is no more. Big vans
have carried off the furniture and 9TH
err appurtenanceS of the house In .
street where President Zclaya's repre-
sentatives once were domiciled. A
For rent" sign ornaments the front
lawn. 1t said the Zelayan govern
ment has not sent the monthly checks
TO it's legation, an oversight that is said
to be sorely felt by the legation force.
Senior Rodriguez, the special en-
bassary Of Zelaya, through whom
Secretary Knox's sharp note was con-
veyed to the Nicaraguan government,
IS still in Washington. 1t was indig-
nantly denied that the legation had
been driven from its quarters because
of the failure of the Nicaraguan gov
eminent to meet the monthly rent bills.
Word was received here tonight in
Central American circles that the re-
oorts of the Zelayan victory over the
insurgent army near Rama was with
out the slightest foundation in fact. 1t

DOESN'T MIND COLD.
Barney OldfieId Does Some Sensational
Record Smashing at Dallas.

Dallas, Tex, Dec. S.-With his face
wrapped in wooden bandages and wear
ing heavy fur gloves and fur overcoat
Barney Oldfield drove his 120-horsepower
Benz racer in the teeth of Texas north
er today and broke the 50-inie world
circular track record which has stood for
over five years. He covered the half CEN
tury in Ais, as against the old mark of
1910 Ia made by himself in Fresno, CAL
in 1904. Oldfield got inside the previous
record at 80 miles and broke every indi-
Vidual mark to the end of the run.
Oldfield's feat was sensational. The
track was frozen in places and the ra-
diator of his car was filled with alcohol
as the only preventive against freezing
AT the finish of the drive Oldfeld's hands
had to be pulled loose from the steering
wheel by his assistant, having been eff
fected by the intense cold at SO high
speed.
