Climate and Speech.

It Is a curious suggestion that a
country's speech may be dependent on
the average Of the temperature In that
country. Yet such a suggestion has
been seriously offered By a distinguish
ed British scientist who has been en-
gagged in research In Tibet. He as
cribes the excessive use Of consonants
In the speech of Tibet to the intense
cold that prevails in that land. A pc
culiarity of the language of the Tibet
ans. In common with that OF the Rus
slams and most arctic regions. is the
existence of remarkably few novels In
their words and an extraordinarily
large number Of consonants. Indeed,
this authority points out, SO full OF
consonants are the Tibetan words
that most Of them could be articulated
with almost semiclosed mouth. a cir
cumstance that evidently proceeds
from the enforced necessity In that
region of keeping ones lips closed as
far as possible against the cutting
cold when speaking.-Exchange.
