many heterogeneous elements
as is our own should abound in cur1os1t1es not
to be found in language whose development
was little influenced by outside sources, or IN a
scientifically constructed tongue like Esper-
anto or Volapuk. Certain it is that knowledge
of these curiosities brings with it something OF
fascination and serves to endear to us our curl
Gus old language.
Noticeable is the fact that words which rjme
perfectly may have altogether different ter
limitations, the words "gneiss and mice,
and that words which terminate similarly not
infrequently fail to rhine, as in the case of
brides and cantharides."
In suspicion" remission" and "contri-
ton" we have three words in which the final
Ion" is preceded in each case by a different
consonant; but, as the T and c both take the
sound of S, these words all rime perfectly.
Further investigation reveals the interesting
fact that, whereas there is great variety of
words ending in ton" and "sion." only five
bear the termination "cion." These five are
and ep'n
ing a song of victory. and internecion." mean
ing slaughter, are not m common use: but the
other three words are familiar to all. 1t is per-
haps worthy of remark that of words bearing
the Theoretically similar ending "tion there
are over one hundred examples.
The termination 'dous" is, however, even
more exclusive than "cion,' as it is borne by
Just four English words. These are "stupen-
dous tremendous" hazardous. and hor-
rendous." Curiousy, all the words in this latter
group adjectives, while the former group is
composed entirely of nouns.
1t seems somewhat strange to speak OF be-
heading word of one syllable and leaving a
word of two syllables; but there are several
monosyllables that admit of this possibility. If
used as monosyllables. we have the word
aged" which. when used as an adjective, is
pronounced with two syllables. Staged"
twice beheaded, leaves the same result. Better

By Harold M. Haskell

plague" and we have "ague,
which admits of only bisyllabic pronunciation.
Likewise "shrugged'' twice beheaded leaves
the different word rugged.
There are over thirteen hundred words IN our
language ending with the long sound, such as
tree" ETC.; but even this remarkable showing
is eclipsed by words ending in 'ess,' as there
are fourteen hundred of these.
From the citation of these two cases it
might be inferred that the poet has snecure
to select rime for any word he chooses to en-
ploy: but such is not always the case. Exclu-
sive of the ordinal numerals. most of which are
unrimeable, there more than sixty words
that have rhine. Well known examples of
these include such words as gulf, - month.
orange" scarce" silver" window"
warmth. - "spoilt" and wasp"
1t is perhaps not generally known that there
is verse in the Bible that contains all but one
of the letters of the alphabet This, however,
is fact as in the twenty-frst verse of the sew
enth chapter of Job are found all the letters but
]. This is of course purely coincidence: for
as the verse contains forty-three words and
hundred and seventy-three letters. it
would be unworthy of note if done by design.
While our language does not contain such
long words are found in some other tongues,
nor SO many words of unusual length, still we
have several that are awkwardy long for con-
versational purposes. We have philopro-
genitiveness," with twenty letters; Inter
convertibilities. " with twenty-one; intercom-
MUNICIPALITIES, with twenty two; "dispro-
portonablenesses." with twenty-three; and
Observation-Disclosures and "contradis-
tinguishability," each containing twenty-four
letters. But how insignificant are all these
compared with the Dutch "Albasserdammer
1andarenopsteckersverg aderinlokaal!" An eff
fective little word is synacategorematic," as it
manages to compress eight syllables into seven
teen letters.
The longest monosvables contain nine let
tiers, and there are four examples "splotched, 4"
"squelched," strengths" and stretched"

this time to have familiar look. Despite its
larger size, our box has many traits in common
with the small pasteboard boxes into which the
vender in the street puts spinning gyroscope.
We begin to suspect then that the demon "
inside is nothing but rapidly rotating heavy
wheel or gyrostat, of whose subdued humming
we are now aware while its perversity is
nothing but its blind obedience to far reaching
mathematical and physical laws.
A complete exposition of these laws is beyond
indeed the resources of the mathematician. but
fortunately the fundamental principle may be
very easily grasped. In word it is this,
Every rotating body tends to keep its axis of
rotation unchanged in direction.
Simple as it is, this is the law that governs
every rotating body in the universe. 1t is the
law that keeps the spinning top from falling as
well as causes the rifle bullet to travel point
foremost instead of turning over and over in the
air, as it would if fired from smooth bore gun.
This principle it is that renders possible the APP
plication of the gyroscope balancing device

The question may well be asked to what
happens when an attempt is made to change
the direction of the axis of rotating wheel, or,
in other words, How strong is this tendency to
preserve its axis and plane of rotating I'M
changed? The answer has already been fur
nished by the actions of the gyrostat in the box.
If the wheel happened to be turning about an
east and west axis, say, and twist was applied
to turn it about a north and south line, it
would be seen to revolve slowly as whole
about vertical axis, and in general any at
tempt at turning about line perpendicular to
its axis of rotation would cause slow revolu-
ton of the whole about an axis perpendicular
to each of these lines.
