Blind Have Better of It.

A correspondent, writing on the
uliteracy of the native classes
points out a strange anomaly. In
devising the Oriental Braille" alpha
bet for the use of the Indian blind
it was found that the 63 combina-
tons of the six Braille dots will serve
to give the blind one code for the
whole of the languages and dialects.
With this code the indian blind are
being taught, and no difficulty has
arisen in any vernacular. The ordinary
native blessed with sight is more un-
fortunate. The complicated nature OIL
the native syllabaries is such that II
requires from 500 to 1000 sorts OF
type to print a book even in simple
language. Originally the letters OF
Asoka were simple in form, but the
modern varieties of Asoka's letters
have become elaborate and compli-

English as Universal Tongue.

1t is deeply interesting and re-
markable circumstance that the Chi
nese government has issued an edfct
making English the official language
for scientific and technical education
throughout the empire. The action is
particularly significant. Here is the
most conservative nation Of history, a
people who are estranged by tempera-
ment and tradition from all that is
western and modern. They have
chosen English as the official language
of their scientific and technical
schools. All this means that the Eng
Gsh people are the greatest factors
in our present-day civilization, and it
means, furthermore. that If the old
disaster of Babel tower is ever to be
undone it will be through the English
language.

"rresaquetrzlnqr French Roads.

An attempt is being made in
France to oust one of the few verbal
lied surnames borrowed from the 9TH
er side of the channel. Mr.. Heude,
well-known civil engineer, asserts
that "macadamizer," which has been
a recognized French word for over so
years, is misnomer. Before Macadam
was born, we are told, the system of
roadmaking which bears his name was
employed in the neighborhood of
Moulins by an engineer named Tresa-
guet. In 1856 Tresaguet was taking
steps to have his system tried in
Paris, when his health broke down
completely, and within few years
he died. During the revolutionary pc
riod the authorities had no time to
spare for roadmaking, and when
Macadam's system was introduced in
1920 1t was regarded as a complete
novelty. Henceforth, it is to be
hoped, patriotic surveyors will no
longer 'macadamizer," but "tresagu-
etizer," the roads under their charge

Women Study Bird Life.

Large numbers of local women
roaming through all the city parks
and the suburb stretches of pretty
country sweeping the horizon with
opera glasses are the signs of new
fad that has struck the city. The
women have taken to studying bird
life and nature in imitation of the
school children who have been doing
1t for some time under orders from
their teachers. According to public
library attaches there has been
greater call for books dealing with
bird life during the last week or two
than previously was made for months.
Numerous of the women's clubs have
taken up the study Jointly, forming
automobile trips to the country spots
and the haunts of birds.-Omaha Bee.

The AeropIane in War.

1t takes very little to cause a stam-
pede among cavalry horses; hence
the need to tether them on the right
principle. In the next war on the
continent, where huge masses of cav
airy are ever concentrated close to
the frontiers ready for an immediate
advance, the possibility of airships or
aeroplanes dropping explosives among
a mass of tethered horses will have to
be considered. With horses badly
tethered a few small explosives might
easily stampede whole brigade of
avalry.-London Saturday Review.
