These are few of the many won

the invisible rays of light. 1t is
curious fact that these rays were
discovered long before any particular
properties were observed. II was
toward the close of the eighteenth
century that Herschel, the noted as
trononer, conceived the idea that
there might be physical properties
connected directly with the colors
of the spectrum. He exposed ther.

that though II remained stationary
when exposed to violet rays, 1t rose
gradually as he brought it nearer to

black and was decomposed into other

JUST WHAT is A "sNo57"

There is probably no connection
between a cobbler, sometimes called
a snob, and the slang word "snob"
used of low fellow trying to push
himself into the society of his bet
tiers. At the universities it used to
be common to speak of 'nob," from
nobilis flius, a young nobleman OF
sometimes a college man. The letter
IS" having negative, or privative
force, added to 'nob," making the
word "snob," would thus mean a dis.
noble, or ignoble mere townsman, as
contrasted with the sons of colleges,
or gownsmen. Hence it crept into
use as meaning anyone ignoble from
birth or breeding.

FEW REMINDERS OF DICKENS
places and Characters Of London
Which Great Novelist Made Famous
Are Vanishing Fast.

The day for studying the London
of Dickens has gone by. The last
ten years have completely wiped
away the familiar signposts of Dick
ems land.
The Dickens lover used to find
pleasure in showing people where
Bill Skies and Nancy roamed, where
Oliver Twist held forth and Mr..
Pickwick and his devoted followers
gave ground for the worlds merri-
ment; but even the old streets have
disappeared and new ones have come
in their place, running sometimes in
opposite directions.
There is more of Thackeray's
Georgian London than of Dickens
Victorian, though even the old Geor-
gian era has been dented and buckled
terribly by the modern flat and giant
hotel.
1t is only few years ago since one
saw Dickens characters at every turn
in the by-streets of London. But
they are very rare nowadays and
when they do appear they attract at
tention in the light of echoes of by
gone days. And it could not be 9TH
erwise.

first folio printed, Of which about
two hundred are known to have sur
viyed. OF these, fewer than twenty
are in perfect state, while about
one hundred and sixty copies have
sustained serious damage at various
points. The value Of the four early
folio editions of Shakespeare is part
ly determined by their pedigrees-
The duke of Leeds owns a first folio
on which two former owners, Charles
Killigrew and William Congreve,
have inscribed their names. Garrick's
first folio is in the library of Queens
college, Oxford. Sir Henry Irving
possessed a second folio which had
belonged successfully to Lewis Theo-
bald, the greatest of all Shakes
peare's textual critics, Doctor John
son and Samuel Ireland. In South
Kensington museum there is third
folio adorned with a curious collec-
