Not Soon Enough.

A man who is now one of the leading
members of the Stock Exchange was
rather wild in his youth. which IS not
an exclusive characteristic of this
member Of the Stock Exchange. But
this man was a favorite with his moth
er and generally called on her to help
him out Of his scrapes, and she usually
responded freely. even lavishly. On
one occasion. however. when his de-
mands had been especially frequent
and extravagant. it was with consider
able trepidation that on discovering
himself "the morning after in a dis
tant city and picked rs clean as new

Chinese and Chinaman.

On the subject of surprising modern
words it is notable that the Oxford
dictionary finds no earlier instance OF
"Chinaman," in the sense of native
of China. than 1854. when Emerson so
used it. The previous word was "Chi-
nese," from which the plural "Chi-
neses" was formed by Milton and his
contemporaries. and the false singular
"Chinee" by modern Americans. But
"Chinaman'' in another sense. that OF
a dealer in china. was i'll use long be-
fore 1854. The Oxford dictionary gives
three instances Of it from London d.
rectories of 1712. 1901 and 1919, but
does not notice that in 1853 one John
Crowther. Chinaman," was gazetted
bankrupt. "Chinawoman" in a SINH
lar sense goes back to Ben Jonson.-

Yucatan's Water Cavorns.

Since Yucatan. where the Mayas
built their strange cities. Is OF coral
limestone formation. it follows that 1t
would have been a desert but for Its
subterranean rivers and the cenotes,
or water caverns, which give access
to them. The Mayas noted the courses
of the underground streams and built
their towns round the cenotes. Many
cenotes are now found surrounded by
ruins and give indications OF the
methods employed by the Mayas to
reach their cool waters. In Uxmal
cenote about forty feet deep is inhabit-
ed by a peculiar species Of fish. At
Bolanchen there is cenote having
FIVE openings in the rocks at the bot
tom of the cavern. Ladders made by
tying three trunks together lead down
a total distance of 1,4OO feet. but the
perpendicular depth from the surface
to the water Is not more than 500 feet

Tennyson's Rhymes.

AS an example of faulty rhyming
the great Alfred Tennyson is being
held up by an English critic as In the
very forefront of offenders. He Is
shown to have taken license as a great
poet that would have damned any
small rhymer. The critic gives as ex-
amples of Tennyson's imperfect rhymes
river" and ever" "given" and "heav-
en-" which are considered too conven-
tional to be criticised. He then passes
on to the famous Charge Of the Light
Brigade" where Tennyson, with the
inaccurate ear Of the thorough Briton,
rhymes onward" and hundred"
said" and "dismayed." hundred" and
"thundered." "hundred' and "blunder-
ed" hundred" and wondered" all In
that one short poem. One may look In
vain through the works Of LongfelloW,
Bryant, Lowell or any American poet
of the first rank for such orthoep1cal
laundering. which passes without ques-
ton among Britons.
