Iennyson,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 great

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 Il 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 in use long be
fore 1854. The Oxford dictionary gives
three instances of it from London di
rectories of 1772. 1901 and 1919. but

Yucatan's Water Caverns.

Since Yucatan. where the Mayas
built their strange cities. is of coral
limestone formation. it follows that it
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 a
cenote about forty feet deep is iahabit
ed by peculiar species of fish Al
