The world moves, but it doesn't
speak English Ptolemy Philadelphus,
the great old sport prototype of Leo
pold Of Belgium, is one OF the rocks
Of ages in history, for he founded the
museum and library of Alexandria
He desired a copy of the Old Tesla
ment translated into Greek for his
precious library, for he and the library
were both Greek. This first Greek
translation Of the Old Testament Is
called the Septuagint. We can see
from the Septuagint what sort of
Greek was spoken over the ancient
Greek world that Alexander built;
very coarse and crude and mongrel
and homely as compared with Attic
Greek; full Of local words to suit To-
cal needs and emergencies and busi-

Europe in the middle ages, and such
as English will one day, become
when spelling and speech may be as
simple and natural as the common

as important centers for the produc-
ton of peppermint and spearmint.
while Michigan, Wisconsin, Nebraska
and other states in the north central
part of the country form an important
source of wormwood oil. Doubtless
other Oil bearing plants now on trial
may be found to do well in parts of
the same general section. American
worm seed is distilled in Maryland and
southwark. and sassafras is distilled
in various places, especially in the
mountains from Pennsylvania south
ward. The oils of wintergreep, sweet
birch. spruce and white cedar are de-
rived from the more Northern ranges
OF the Atlantic slope. The mountain
Gus regions of Tennessee and Ken
lucky supply wintergreen, sweet birch
and sassafras oils.
1t is apparent that a number of ma
tive and introduced plants, rich in vol
atile oils, have obtained foothold on
a commercial basis in this country.
and there is good ground to hope that
.products of this general class now OBJ
tanned from abroad may in time be-
come naturalized here.
The growth of the volatile oil in
dustry has been rapid in Germany and
France, due to the opening of remu-
neration lines of work by pioneer: ng
scientific workers, and the greater de-
mand for these products by manufac.
lures. Although volatile oils find
much use in medicine, the greatest de-
mands come from the makers OF per-
fumes and flavors. AS result of sci.
entific research along the lines of per.
fume chemistry. not only has a great
field for commercial activity been dis.
covered. but scientific knowledge itself
has been greatly enlarged. This mu,
tually helpful relation between science
and commerce has been conspicuous.
ly developed in France and Germany
but to relatively slight extent in this
country.

Old Postal Rates.

The high postal rates that prevailed
in the earlier years Of the last cen
fury made the transmission of letter
or parcel matter of serious moment.
"A packet weighing thirty. two ounces
was once sent from Deal to London"
writes Mrs. Eleanor Smyth in her life
of Sir Rowland Hill. The postage
was over f6. being four times
