Freaks Of Language.

A peculiar kind Of laundering known
as 'folk etymology" is responsible for
some Of the queerest freaks of Ian
guage. An easy example will make
this clear Our American word "car-
ryall' for kind Of vehicle is not a
compound of carry" and "all," but a
slight distortion of the French ''carri-
OLE" diminutive' car. The change
was made in obedience to the uni
versal tendency to assimilate the I'M
known to the known, to make words
mean something by associating them
with others which they resemble in
sound. Often there is no genealogical
relation between the words associated.
as when sparrowgrass is made out of
asparagus. This particular corruption
was once in such good colloquial use
that Walker. the photographer, wrote,
"Sparrowgrass is so general that as
paragus has an air of stiffness and
pedantry."

He read everything with avidity.
His mind did not run In one channel,
and he welcomed every volume that
came in his way. When he was ten or
twelve years old he went to a library
to ask for the works of certain au-
thor. The librarian ted him in amuse-
ment that the books were In Latin.
The boy went home chagrined, for he
did not know Latin, being a sickly
child and held back from books as far
as possible, but after~six weeks he APP

Ampere is one of the few child prod

STATE REPRIEvfS
CAPTURED CRABS
Illegally Caught Sea Denizens
Found Under Wharf and
Given Liberty

One hundred and twenty dozen own
erless crabs were given reprieve
from capital punishment yesterday by
deputies acting under the direction OF
Chief Deputy Fish Commissioner
Charles A. vogelsang.
The crustaceans were found alive
and we'll in floating cases tied under
Fishermens wharf. Under the law no
crabs can be caught until March 1. the
day on which the season opens. and
after which date they can be sold in
the market. so the crabs which were
found yesterday were dumped back
into the bay. there to thrive and enjoy
life until after Tuesday. at least. Their
owners could not be found YESTERDAY,
their neglect to appear being due prob
ably to deeper regard for the law
than for the crabs.
On Saturday afternoon Vogelsang
sent out a number of his assistants IN
the tug Dixie to look over the crab
fishing grounds and see IL the law was
being complied with. When just south,
of the Golden gate the deputies saw a
number of crab fishers. On approach
of the Dixie the fishermen cut their
boats loose from their nets and steamed
away, out of sight of the Dixie. The
Dixie went 10 miles down the coast and
found many nets. partly filed with
crabs which had been deserted by
their owners.
When the deputies returned to the
harbor they landed at Meiggs wharf
and found the 40 dozen crabs in the

RUSSIA FEARS A
WAR WITH CHINA
Railway Negotiations Show the
Bears Apprehension of Con-
flict With Dragon

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 27.-M. Is
formally submitted to the United States
and other interested powers the Rus
sian governments alternative PROPOSE
tion to that proposed by Secretary Knox
relative to the construction of the
railroad.
Instead Of this road Russia suggests
trans -Mongolian line, further westward,
striking the Trans-Siberian railway
near the Baikal line.
This proposition does not meet with
special favor in diplomatic circles here.
1t is considered to be impracticable
and an Improbable venture. in no wise
meeting the conditions which call for
the construction of the Aigun- -Chinchow
railroad.
Well informed diplomats are unable
to understand the fear of Chinese mill
tary aggression, which is the basis Of
Russia's objection TO the latter project,
nor do they take the Chinese army Sc
riously. But anxiety certainly exists.
Russian officials say that China is
arming against Russia and profess to
believe that war is possible within a
decade. Alarm against the Chinese has
replaced the expectation of war be-
tween Russia and Japan, which a few
months ago created a veritable panic
among the military authorities.

DIR. A. r. Ward Leaves Univer=
sity for Special Work in
Philippines

DR.. A r. Ward director of the state
hygienic laboratory and assistant pro-
fessor of bacteriology at the University
of California, has resigned his positions
to accept an appointment as chief of
the veterinary. corps in the Philippines.
The appointment comes from the bu-
reau of insular affairs of the war de-
partment and is one of great scope and
responsibility. Doctor Ward will have
corps of 40 expert veterinarians
working under him.
Acting from his headquarters at Ma
Mia Doctor Ward will endeavor to
stamp out several diseases that have
attacked cattle in the islands. The
first crusade will be against rinderpest,
the most fatal and malignant disease
to which cattle are subject, and then an
attack will be made on surra, disease
common to horses and goats in the
Philippines.
The task of eradicating the many dis
eases of animals brought to the islands
from the orient and of keeping the
islands clean of the pests will be a
tremendous one.

Miller.
They played cards with a "cold deck"

Doc won the money-all of which be-

at losing at his own game. accused his

First-That the amount of inter

SiXth-That this sort of unre-
