CTo BE coNTINuED.)
"Traaedy's" Derivation.

The word tragedy" now in danger
of belittlement, was itself born In OBJ
security. Nobody doubts that Its par
ents we're "tragos' "a he-goat) and
ode" a song, but why it attained to
its present rank is matter OF conject-
ure. We know that 1t was the practice
of the ancient Greek ~worshippers OF
Dionysus to sacrifice a goat before be-
ginning of their devotions, and that
fact may have transferred the name
of the sacrifice to the ceremonial that
gradually developed into the tragedies
of Eschylus. But then 1t was also the
custom of the primitive actors around
the shrine Of the god to dress in goat
skins. A third explanation OF how
tragedy came into the language rests
on the presentation OF a goat as q
prize for the best performance.

Importance Of the Worm In the Econ.
omy Of Nature Mas First Re-
veaIed by Darwin.

The discovery OF a new species OF
earthworm may awake but a languid
interest In the layman's mind, yet
those minute studies OF the humble
works of nature that result in bring
ing to light previously u~nrecognized
inhabitants of the soil really possess
a very high degree OF interest. since
they often indicate unsupported pro
cesses whereby the earth is kept in
q condition TO be the home n nour'
isher of man.
Darwin surprised the general read
ing public by his revelations OF the
indispensable role played by the hum.
BILE earthworm in %cuitiyating the soil.
He showed now the strength OF a
pigmy was changed into that OF a
giant BY the virtue OF numbers and OF
industry, so that the richest soil was
turEed owe and over again by the la
bors Of earthworms and thus kept In q
fertile condition.

the importance OF the work done by
worms, he was not aware of the ex.

earthworms In that country. at least
twenty different species are known,
