that community. One Of their leading
bankers prepared statistics. showing

The Erne was bound from Boston,
Feb. 1, for Buenos Ayres. The Cuban
passed her on Feb. in latitude 40

those of the crew who had managed
to keep themselves alive. Six of the
crew were drowned while the master
of the Erne Captain Pickett, his wife,

The incident which Priscus has
chosen to illustrate is taken from the
account which Charles and Mary Lamb
gives of "Midsummer's Nights

how Nick Bottom, left alone in the
forest, is victimized by the fairies
He finds an asss head clapped over
his own. But this strange metamor-
phosis does not prevent the fairy
queen, Titania, likewise the victim OF
fairy malice, from falling in love with
Bottom. Oberon, the king, who Is
responsible both for the weaver's
grQtesque appearance and for I'll
tania's infatuation, is seen at the mo-
ment when he discovers the ill-assort
ed pair. The scene is the forest beau

FLOAT NO. 10-THE BROWNIES.
Who does not know Palmer Cox s
Brownies-those delightful little urch-
ins. all heads and paunches. with
spidery legs and wide mouths per-
petualIy on the grin?
Here they are in life tust as the
poet and artist dreamed of them. One
of the most amusing exploits which
Cox attributed to his whimsical little
people was a toboggan party. Priscus
shows them as they slide on this ma
chine down a frosty incline, only to be
confronted at its foot by a Brownie
policeman and threatened with the
terrors of the law for exceeding the
speed limit. Previous toboggan loads
of Brownies have evidently come to
grief upon this spot, for they are seen
struggling in the snow, heads and feet
appearing SUCCESSFULLY above the
f1eecy drifts, while two little men who
have emerged from the awkward
predicament in which their fellows
find thmeslves, are seated on snow
banks on either side of the float.

TRACE ORIGIN OF ALPHABET
According to Prof. Flinders Petrle 1t
Existed 1000 Years 3. c.
Attacks an Old Theory.

In a lecture at the Royal Institute
Prof. Flinders Petrie has attacked the
long accepted theory that the origin
OF the alphabet is to be found in
Phoenicia, whence 1t came from
Egyptian hieroglyphics, says New
York Sun London dispatch.
According to Prof. Petrie, the re-
searches of the last twenty years
have shown that signs were earlier
than pictures and that it was the sign
that survived to become the alpha
and beta of one civilization and the
A B G of another.
Just as the philologist had discov-
cred one entire system of languages,
SO the alphabetarian has discovered
in the diversity of alphabets an orig
inal prototype of all In Prof. Petrie's
words, "The Phoenicians are people
of yesterday compared with those who
wrote the signs that are the origin
of all alphabets."
1t was to pottery, said the profes-
sol, that Egyptologists and others
were indebted for these signs, and
their development was worked out
on these lines. Flatnose made pot
and put a mark on it to show that 1t
was his. In time, because 1t was his
mark, the sign stood for Flatnose
himself, and then the sign became at
tached to sound irrespective Of the
thing itself. Gradually the wearing
down went on until the sign stood,
not for a sound, but syllable, and
then for letter.
The signs, of course, were not an
alphabet; that did not arrive until
perhaps 1000 B. c., whereas signs
were found in early prehistoric Egypt,
probably 1000 B. G. Proofs of this
common origin were plentiful, for the
signs spread by trade far north and
south and appeared similarly in
Runic, Iberian and Karian, and yet
were unknown in Phoenician.
