spoken English.


From the New York Tribune
People with discriminating ears, OF
whom there are probably some left in
New York, will heartily and gratefully
agree with the board Of superintendent
OF the school system that something
needs to be done for the improvement OF
spoken English. We have heard much
in recent years about the reform OF SPELL
ing, but little about the protection of
pronunciation. Well meaning gentlemen
have striven industriCusly to persuade
us that life will no longer be worth living
if We do not write thru for through"
and mist for missed But where are
the viguant guards who will save from
being lost in the Vocal shuttle the ~
in girl and the ''h'' in (which" and
shut off a final "r' from raw" and
saw" and insist upon the recognition
of the existence of the ''g" in the suf-
fix ling" and in brief, prevent a singu-
larly rich and musical spoken language
from degenerating into a cOlorless and
monotouous jargon?
Nearly fifty years ago the greatest
philologist of his time warned the Eng
lish- peaking world against what he fit
tingly called phonetic decay. There is,
as Max Muller then pointed out, a class
of phonetic changes which takes place
i'm various languages. and which are the
result of nothing else than sheer lazi-
ness. There is a manly. sharp and def
mite articulation, and there is one which
is effeminate, vague and indistinct. The
former requires the exertiOn of intelli-
gent viii and muscular energy. The lat
ter is the result of carelessness and iazi-
ness. Phonetic decay in language sets
in when those who use it admit the
law Of laser aler to their orthorpy and
shrink from the effort of giving to each
letter it's due sound; and the process is
continuous and cumulative.

Naples, July 8.-The activity of
Mount Vesuvius, which became pro.
nounced last spring, is growing more
accumulated.
Studies by Professor Mercalli, direc.
tor of the observatory, show that the
volcano from 100 A. D., to date, was
never tranquil for a time SURPRISING
seven consecutive years.
At the end of the seven-year period,
which corresponds with the present
year, that length of time having
elapsed since the eruption of 1906, the
volcano enters an eruptive stage Pro.
fessor Marcalli says, however, this
does not mean violent eruption
necessarily is imminent.
The crater is emitting a quantity
of vapor composed of chloric acid.

Actual Detonation Occurs When Plant

There are certain sorts Of flowers
thar explode" in order to scatter their
seeds about. but these are silent explo-
sions brought about every seeding time
by nature. For a flower to actually ex.
plode with detonation that can be
heard long distance Is quite another
thing and a rarity.
Such floral explosion occurred in
the botanical gardens at Agiers recent
~. It was the spathe or the covering
of the bunch Of blossoms on a great
palm tree This spathe was nearly
three feet long. and when the expio-
sion occurred It was hurled to a great
distance. while the shattered blossoms
arose like cloud Of golden smoke and
covered the top OF the palm.
The cause Of this was the suns heat.
which was unusual and had actually
roasted the flower to the color Of rust,
The excessive dryness of the air had
caused fermentation inside the spathe.
