GARDEN PLANNED FOR
MEMORIAL TO VIRGIL
Flowers Named by Poet of
Mantua to Be Planted

The Academy of Mantua has decided
to establish a garden in memory of
Virgil, and steps are to be taken to lay
out plot of land on which will be
grown the flowers and shrubs mem
toned by the poet of Mantua, says the
London Globe. In all Virgil mentions
about 1870 different species, and these
will be selected and labeled. so that
the visitor will be able to identify
them. The idea is a happy one, but it
is not new. In the garden at Golder's
green, attached to the residence of the
late Sir Spencer Wells, there is sim
liar plantation, but instead of the plants
of the Roman poet they are those men
toned by Shakespeare.

new DICTIONARY
TO BE MONSTER
Latest Century Will Garry One
Hundred Thousand Added
Definitions

The addition to the Century diction-
ary Of two new volumes of definitions
made necessary to bring the work up
to date, gives evidence of the wonder
full expansion of the English language
within a quarter of a century.
The claim was made for the original
Century that it increased the number
of words and phrases defined by up
ward of 10000. This is as many words
as there are altogether in the standard
dictionary Of the Spanish language,
says the New York World. The new
volumes are expected to add 100, 900
more definitions, but including phrases
proper names, colloqualisms, ETC., which
once were denied regular admission to
dictionary. But the point of interest
is the growth from the 10000 words
of the first Webster in 1928. The I'm
abridged" Of 1864 contained 114,000, the
International of 1890 about lie, 900. and
the present edition of 1910 has more
than 100000. The new Standard had
425,000, and the Oxford, still in course
of publication, promises to have $50, 600
But with all allowance for the inclu-
sion of technical terms. slang, charac-
ters from fiction and the drama, and
proper names, it is yet true as the
Century editors say, that since it's
original publication "a new vocabulary
has arisen" rejecting and recording
| the progress of a quarter of a century
more productive Of new knowledge
than any other period of the same
length in the history of the language .

and spark plugs. Aeronautics has
