ELEVATORS IN EUROPE.
Except In First Class Hotels They Are
Crude Affairs.

SFuuS AHSFSs
The use of passenger elevators is not
nearly so general in Europe as it is in
the United States. In Germany and
France most hotels Of the very highest
class, catering TO wealthy foreign trav-
elers, are equipped with elevators
much like the American type. and in
tended to be freely used both up and
down The cheapest hotels and many
very good ones at moderate prices,
though four or five stories high. are
not provided with elevators.

STORIES AND THE DRAMA.
Harder Work to Write a Novel Than to
Construct Play.

One reason WHY Il play Is easier to
write than novel is that play Is
shorter than ii novel ON the average
one may say that il takes six plays to
make the matter OF novel. Other
things being equal. short work of art
presents fewer difficulties than Il long
er one. The contrary is held true by
the majority, bul then the majority,
having never attempted to produce a
long work of art. are unqualified to
offer an opinion.
1t Is said that the most difficult form
of poetry Is the sonnet But the most
difficult form of poetry is the epic. The
proof that the sonnet is the most diff
ticult form is alleged to be in the few.
ness OF perfect sonnets. There are.
however, few more perfect sonnets
than perfect epics. A perfect sonnet
may be heavenly accident. But such
accidents can never happen to writer's
of epics.
Some years ago we had an enormous
palaver about the art of the short
story" which numerous persons who
had omitted to write novels pronounc-
ed to be more difficult than the novel.
But tie fact remains that there are
scores of perfect short stories, where
as it is doubtful whether anybody but
Turgenev ever did write a perfect
novel
short form is easier to manipulate
than a long form because its construc-
ton Is less complicated. because the
balance of its proportions can be more
easily corrected by means of rapid
survey. because it is lawful and even
necessary in it to leave undone many
things which are very hard to do and
because the emotional strain Is less
prolonged. The most difficult thing in
all art is to maintain the imaginative
tension unslackened throughout con-
siderable period. Metropolitan Maya

CALLED IT TOLEDO.
Story of How an Ohio City Came to
Gets Its Name.

About 100 years ago little settle
ment existed at the mouth of the Maui
NEE river It's name. Port Lawrence,
was given in honor of the great naval
commander The little town was not
prosperous, and five years later Major
Stickney. an enthusiastic but eccentric
nan, founded another settlement right
next to Port Lawrence and called his
village Vistula. Both settlements were
stimulated somewhat by the competi-
ton, but neither prospered sufficiently,
and one year later it was proposed to
unite the towns
Everything was easily arranged ex-
Major Stickney insisted that the new
community accept the name of his
part, Vistula, but the citizens were not
prepared to have Il name thrust upon
them by one whose peculiarities led
him to name his two children mo. II
family life was enough to cause any
suggestion from him to be received
skeptically
The discussions were many and heat
ed when Willard Daniels. a merchant
of Vistula, suggested that they adopt
the name of Toledo, the ancient capital
of Spain. He explained that the word
originally was "Toledoth," from the
Hebrew, meaning Mother of People"
and Mr.. Daniels said they ought to be
able to come together under such q
title of peace Another reason was the
remarkable nearuess in attitudes of
both places. in Spain and in Ohio. the
actual difference being only little
more than one degree. Further argu-
ments We're that it was pleasant in
sound, easy to pronounce and that no
city of the western continent as yet
bore the name.
His reasoning prevailed, and the
united towns assumed the name To-
ledo. That they remained true to it
is shown in the fact that their first
permanent newspaper was called the
Toledo Blade, in recognition of the fact
that Toledo, Sapin. was famed all over
the world for the quality of the sword
blades which 1t produced. = Ladies'

MEPHISTOPHELES.
No Satisfactory Proof as to the Origin
of the Name Exists,

There has been much discussion con-
corning the origin Of the word Meph-
istopheles In the past. which has,
moreover, as yet ended in no very sat
isfactory conclusion. Some very bi-
zarre explanations had been PROFOUND
ed before the time Of Goethe, who was
himself forced to own to the musician
Zelter in letter of Nov 20, 1929, "I
cannot give any definite answer to the
question, Whence comes the name
MephistophelesY
According to one theory it was a hy-
brid Greco-Hebraic formation of me-
phis and tophel Ohe liar); according
to another its etymology was entirely
Greek-very dubious Greek-mephos-
tophilos, she who does not love the
light" Though this derivation is hard
ly acceptable, it appears that this was
the original form Of the name, the sec
ond vowel being replaced by at first
in England, whence 1t was taken into
the popular German mysteries.
In the Goethe Jahrbuch" Herr
Oelhke gives an entirely novel deriya-
ton which, If farfetched, has at least
the merit of originality. 1t is based on
iwo names found In chapters 4 and
Il OF the second book Of Samuel,
Pephiboschetu and Architophel He
reminds US that it was customary In
the middle ages when giving names to
evil spirits to refer to the Old Testa-
ment; hence the combination "Meph
istopheles."
The explanation is not perceptibly
more absurd than others Goethe him
self had a trick of using the abbre
Waited form Mephisto when 1t suited
the exigencies of his meter. 1t may be
remembered that this particularly ir
ritated Schopenhauer, who wrote in his
pamphlet ION the Murder tVerhun
zung) of the German Language" THE
foolish desire for brevity goes SO far
as to cut off even the devils tail by
writing Mephisto for Mephistopheles" :"
