POWER OF A WORD.
Why France Changed the Name Of ths

Why France Changed enc Name Of the

a vivid illustration oi the power Of
mere words over human beings was
once brought 70 the attention Of French
people by Francisquc Sarccy.

many passengers were found hoatins
drowned with life preServers on. These
life preservers were fatscued upon the
bodies. but round the middle instead
Of under the arms. aud che greater
weight - the upper part Of the body
had tipped the head under water AMI
the person of course was inevitably
drowned
Now IL appears that the greater num-
Der Of the persons so drowned were
French. The French term FOR lie pre-
server Is ccinturc De sauveta-e. or 'life
saving belt" This word cein;ure sug-
gests 10 the mind i'm its moments Of
disorder and unreldiucss. such as a
great catastrophe brings. the idea OF
putting on n belt. and ass q belt is put
round the wais; and nowhere else the
frightened person inst.nctvely adjusts
the life preserver close about the hips.
The result Is that as soon as the
person SO provided falls into the water
his body tips over with the heavier
part downward. and the head is plung-
cd beneath the surface.
The word belt" therefore. was the
cause OF the loss OF many lives ia tie
