Of literary frivolity are to be found
in French, Spanish and English books
of the 10th century.
Both in China and Japan such liter
airy feats are held in great esteem even
at the present day. In the latter ceun-
try the poet not infrequentIy arranges
his verses in the shape of u mans

outline of the subject of his verse:

so nice d choice, choosing perhaps
COW or other animal for the design,
they display greater ingenuity.
/ Among the most curious of all liter
airy freaks are the lipogrammatie
works composed by the old. Greeks,
works IN which one letter Of the al
pha bet is omitted. The odyssey" OF
Tryphiodorus is composed in this way.
He had no alpha in his first book with
no beta in his second and so on with
the subsequent letters one after an
other. This Odyssey was an inlita-
ton of the hpogrammatic ..Iliad, OF
Nestor. There was an ode by Pindar,
wherefrom he had purposely omitted
the letter sigma. This ingenuity be-
came literary fad, encouraged even

would be the first to oppose such lit
erary trifiing.

| The Persians also appear to have been
given to this freakish work. There is
a story to the effect that a poet read
| to the celebrated Jami a gael of his
own composition which Jan1i did not
like. The writer contended that it was
a very curious sonnet, for the letter
alif was not to be found in any one

sueMERelNG OLD VILLAGES.
Interesting Places to Be Covered by
the Waters of Lake Gatun.

Some years ago, when the regula-
ton of the Nile by dams at severai
points was under considerations, a
great cutlery was made against one
very desirable project because 1t
would submerge the ruins of a famous
temple. The Panamanian villages
which will be submerged next fall by
the rising waters of Lake Gatun are
not, of course, comparable with the
temple of Philae except that they are
among the oldest places on the con-
tinent. and for this reason one may
be pardoned feeling of regret al
their disappearance. Some of them
are named in E,squemeiing's history
of his piratical adventures under
Morgan and they were well-known
points on the route from Spain to
Peru before jamestown was settled
or there was any talk of Pilgrim and
Puritan along the shores of Massa-
chusetts bay. Through these hamlets
passed the slave caravans bearing
treasure to the Spanish fleets at Fort
Lorenzo. Porto Bello or Nombre de
Dios. After a long siesta they be-
came again animated by the gold
seekers of 40, and 40 years later by the
people engaged on the French canal
project.
SO they have seen important things
that have been powerful influences in
the worlds history. and. let us hope.
the NEST important is the present
work which win shortly bury them
beneath the waters of the world's
greatest artificial lake. When one re-
fleets on the crime and anguish along
/, this old trade route in the days OF
the yellow and red flag, when one re-
calls the scandals of the De Lesseps
days. and when one sees the good ma
ture and enthusiasm of the men work.
ing there now under the stars and
stripes on an undertaking of world
wide benefit, he will agree that these
ancient villages have witnessed radi-
cal changes in which every American
may justly take pride Engineering

SHAPE OF THE EARTH.
Not As To Its GIobular Form But to
Exact Size.

A party of scientists from the coast
and eeodetic survey bureau at WASH
ington has been taking observations
at Angela, Ind, with a view OF
ascertaining whether or not the
earth is Ia globe" This statement is
somewhat misleading in that 1t seems
to imply that the sphericity or giobu-
lar form of the earth is still an open
question, and that scientists are work
ing on it's solution. This is by no.
means the case. for the question of the
rotundity of the earth has been settled
for long time. The question which
scientists are trying and have been en-
gagged for several years in trying to
determine, is the exact size of the
earth and it's average departure from
perfectly globular form by reason of
deep depressions in the bed OF the
ocean and correspondingly great ele-
vations in tn land parts. We all know
that liquid or mobile substance left
free to shape itself in revolution will
take spherical form, as do drops of
water in falling. That was the origi-
nal and normal form of the earth as a.
liquid or molten mass, but external
circumstances and the differing densi-
ing the earth caused departures from a
perfect sphere which appear as de-
pressions and elevations in its surface.
If the earth was composed of homo
geneous MATERIAL its figure under the
influence of gravity and its own rota-
ton, would be that of an ellipsoid,s Or
globe, slightly fiattened at the poles
But the earth is composed of heterG-
geneous materials of different degrees
of density, which, under the law of
gravitation, have arranged them
selves for the most part in horizontal
strata which, like the surface OF the
earth, have their points of depression
and elevation. The revolution of the
earth while in a formative state would
have different effect on matter of diff
ferent densities, producing mountains.
plateaus, continents and. hollows filled
with waters. These are the conditions
that the geodetic survey is now dealing
with, the object being to determine
how much the earth. with its various
comformations, departs from a perfect
Iellipsoidal form and to what extent
these departures affect the mean den
sity of the earth The inquiry has In
cIuded observations at a great number
of points in the United States. and
mathematical calculations to abstruse
to be even partially explained here. II
is one of pure science and without any
commercial aspect whatever, but 1t Is
expected to have an important tnhu-
ence in determining the exact shape
and density of the earth.--The Indian
