Whot Shakespeare You'd Think Of
Our Spoken English.

Daniel Jones, lecturer upon phoneucs at Uni
rersity College, il London. recently appeared
before the EIizabethan Society and threw some
Interesting light upon the mysteries Of pro
nanciation- In Z report published by The Daily
Mail" he j. quoted stating that pronuncia
tiou changes 50 greatly with the passage Of
years that if Shakespeare could listen to the
recitation Of one Of his works to-day he would
not be able 10 understand the words spoken. In
order TO illustrate how he had managed to
trace the pronunciation Of words back TO dis
taut time. MI Jones took the word time" and
pursued It into the past for more than five
hundred years. This table shows how the pro-
nunciatlon Of the word has changed:
Pronunciation.
Tho poet Chaucer 1870 Teen

l'ree~'r- day i lflt
Gradually, during these five hundred years
the peoples tongues, in forming this word, have
receded further and further away from the
roofs Of their mouths explained Mr.. Jones.
The Silhouettes Of the three heads in the dia-
gram below show how the position Of the
tongue has altered during the centuries in pro-
nouncing the word time:
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1910-03-06

the top Of the tongue is to be further
away from the roof of the mouth. This turns
the TEEN TO the tame sound of Shake
speare's day. Nowadays tongues as shown
in the third silhouette, are lower still in our
mouths, producing tn pronunciation of the
word with which familiar
IF the top of the tongue drops little lower
still and the tongue curls a trihe further
back the sound produced is the unmistakable
Cockney tonne added Mr.. Jones. This
Cockney pronunciation is really the absolutely
natural development of pronunciation. 1t is
the pronunciation of uncultured people, who do
not care how they form their words and are
therefore perfectly natural Cultured people
the other hand, who say time resist any
tendency for the top of the tongue to drop
lower in their mouths Were school instruction
in phonetics not combating the Cockney pro-
nunciation could predict that one hundred
years hence it would be far more prevalent
than it is to-day"

fore be regarded by the discerning well worth
perusal. Mr.. Curtis, who is "Franklyn to 9e
Settle, read to them on April y of this year the
paper here printed. 1t contains a good deal Of
the curious and entertaining lore which inter
ests the man in the street well as the mathe-
matiCian. At the beginning of the present year
we heard i'll luck prOpheSed because 1909 would
not divide by anything Our own pages have
from time to time contained notes numbers
and Mr.. Curtis gives useful photography OF
such references Against the study of numbers
as of mystic import It would be possible to quote
Selden's Table Talk:
All those mysterious things they observe in
numbers come to nothing upon this very ground
because number in itself is nothing. has nothing
TO do with nature. but is merely of human impo-
sition, q mere sound. For example, when l cry
l O'Clock, . O'clock 8 O'Clock, that is but mans
division Of time; the time itself goes and il
had been all Cne in nature # those hours had
been called g 10. II. So when they say the sew
enth is fortunate it means nothing for, if
YOU count from tie seventh backward, then the
first IS the seventh; why Is not he likewise fort
unate?'
Something might be argued on more than
count against this passage but it is sufficient to
numbers as come TO us in early days. whether
superStitious or not, continue to influence Us
when We pretend that we have grown out OF
them.
When Johnson at five wrote the epitaph of the
duck he trod on, he pointed out that
# il had lived it had been good luck,
For il would have been odd one.
But there were thirteen of them and may we
tors foot the thirteenth, and escaped the
luck due to odd numbers?
"Numero deus impare gaudet," and Mr.. Curtis
brings together much TO glorify seven. In Ger
many believe, a bad seven" is bad wife,
and tie number Is associated with the dew! as
well sacred things The Seven against
Thebes" had a notable application at oxford in
the crew which r0wed with seven men in 1S43 and
beat Cambridge the 'Septem contra Camum:
and we believe that the authors OF Essays and
Reviews" were unGenerously called the "Septem
contra Christurn." A future commentator may,
perhaps, find something symboiical in the sug-
gestion Of the WalrGs concerning sea-sand in
Alice Through the Looking Glass:

Nine. apart from its position the square of
