The Welsh Meta

Here is what the Rev. John
Evans tells us in reference TO tie
way in which English was taught
in Wales in the eighteenth ccnturyi
"This school had several features
unknown in the Welsh school Of to.
day. The Welsh note was one in
dispensable feature. This secured
English conversation. 1t was &
smooth piece of wood, like flat
inch rule, with the letters w. ~
carved on it, When any one was
caught speaking Welsh the Welsh
note was Immediately handed to
him. but the hand which held it at
the end Of the lesson was the one
made to tingle in consequence, so
it was common occurrence for the
child who had it to move about
from pew to pew, craftily tempting
others to speak Welsh. This sign
Of guilt therefore often changed
hands until at last il rested in that
which had to bear the burden Of all
the transgressions Of that lay"

Talk about wireless telephones
The Colorado desert goes science
one better in that line. According
to travellers in that neck of sand
and sagebrush, you can dispense
with any kind Of telephone, with or
without wires, at least up to GER
tain distance.
Two men a mile apart can carry
on a conversation in an ordinary
tone of voice, particularly if there
happens to be a small hill behind
each, writes Harvey Hall Kessler in
the Travel Magazine. The prevail
ing silence is so intense that il
might be called deafenihg.
Perhaps. after all, the weirdest
among many strange features Of the
desert is the mirage. We have
camped perhaps and gone to bed
early in the evening with the ther-
mometer registering not far below
the hundred mark. We awake,
shivering with cold beneath our
blankets, and look toward the east.
There is the slightest suggestion
OF light in the sky there, which as
we watch grows slowly in strength.
A grayish haze marks the horizons
edge, which stands out more sharply
at one point, from which broad,
pale rays creep up and out high
above in the sky. These again
slowly fade as a point Of brilliant
light appears at their base. This
point grows to half circle, then
breaks and runs along the sky line
in a surging. golden lake.
Upon the shores Of this lake
cities spring up, towers, spires and
solid blocks. These fade into fields
and forests and farming scenes
fields Of golden grain, cattle stand
ing in green alfalfa, shiets Of wa
ter. The mountains near the edge
Of the lake separate from their
bases and float upward, topple over
and stand on their heads, their un-
wieldy feet in air.
Soon our lake begins to contract
and collect into big round ball OF
dazzling brilliance hung just above
the horizon. Farms and forest dis
appear. The mountains, as though
abashed at being caught in such an
unseemly attitude by the broad
light Of day, quickly resume their
normal position, while all the stark
landscape stiffens into unstirring en-
durance Of the garish light and
blazing heat Of the desert sun. The
mirage is gone like bubble. Only
the gray desert remains.

Why He BoIted.

At one Of the London clubs one
evening Mr.. Montagu Williams met
Lord , who had just lost his fa-
ther. The young lord was naturally
melancholy, and the lawyer pro-
posed visiting a theater opposite,
which proposition was accepted.
There was a slight fire in the thea
ter, whereupon the young lord was
among the first to bolt, "like a rab-
Bit" out Of the building. Return
ing leisurely to the club, Mr.. Will
liams found there his young friend
quietly smoking a cigar.
"What on earth made YOU bolt
that way? You seemed frightened
out of your wits mot a difficult mat
ter perhaps. Don't you know that
on such an occasion if everybody
got up and rushed out panic would
ensue, with very likely fatal conse-
quences? Why on earth couldn't
you sit still. as lid: There WAS
nothing scr'ou~ Tie matter" Upon
this, with the most patronizing air,
the young gentleman replied, ooh,
