LOND0N'S DIALECT.
A Perfectly Recognizable Child of the
Old kentish Tongue.

A Perfectly Recognizable Child of the
Old Kentish Tongue.
In a little book entitled "London's
Dialect" Mr.. Mackenzie Macbride chal-
lenges the view expressed by the edu-
cation department of the London
county council that there is no Lon
don dialect of reputable antecedents
and origin" and that the cockney
mode OF speech is a modern corrup-
ton"
He points out that the London dia-
lect, especially on the south side of
the Thames. is perfectly recognizable
child OF the old Kentish tongue. to
which we owe our earliest written lit
erature. Tibet for that" ''benk" for
bank" "keb" for "cab," are remnants
OF the old Kentish mode OF pronuncia-
ton.
In the Kentish dialect that" was
spelt tibet" as early as A. D. S25. The
use OF go for "a" as in 'hdy," was
common from the Trent to the Thames
in Elizabeth's time. and John Stow,
writing in 1880. gives us "bylyfre" for
"bailifr" The use OF Eau" for IA in
such cockneyisms as telegraph" is
of very old origin. and "abaht' and
"ahtside" are both warranted by an
cient use AS for KEEP" and "slep''
without the final ct" they are really
interrupted words. the st" being an
intruder of late date.

Ruins Of Yucatan,

The explorations Of Arthur Diosy in
Yucatan brought TO light many new
facts about the stupcndOus ruins
which stretch through the country in
n chain 300 miles long The most
amazing thing about these ruins. ac-
cording to Mr.. Diosy, Is that the peo-
pie who possessed such high archi-
tectural skill and the knowledge OF
rich and graceful decorative arts, be
lOnged to the stone age and had no
knowledge Of metals. These wonders
in stone were carved with flint imple-
ments and a civilization which has
been compared to that of Egypt grew
up without even the use of bronze ana
iron.

Special Efforts VIII Be Made to Open

London, Feb. LIN Turkish and
Balkan quarters the expectation is In
tense of some move by the powers to
avert the threatened. war. Russia and
Austria are the most interested ma

are expected to make special efforts,
collectively or individually against the
resumption of arms.
In the meantime preparations to
again resume hostilities go on. There
is apparently no material change in
the situation, though the Turks have
been instructed to renew declarations
of desire for peace. The ambassa-
doris OF the powers met today, and
later informed their government that
they regarded the Turkish reply as st
possible basis for q resumption of
peace negotiations. The Balkan dele
