Despite this assurance of further
Darleys, the feeling is strong that

Brigadier General Funston from
Vera Cruz has reported to the war
department that increasingly large
numbers of federal troops under Gen

Sufficient forces are not now in Mex

an advance. The war department,
however, it was ascertained, can start

PRONOUNCING CHINESE.
Variations In the Tone Mean Entirely
Different Words.

At the University of London recent
ly lecture was given by DR.. Jones on
the pronunciation of Chinese. and in
the course of his remarks the speaker
explained that the difficulties Of learn
ing the pronunciation Of Chinese
though real enough. have been rather
exaggerated by those who have writ
ten on that subject When treated
Theoretically the language becomes not
man or French.
The chief thing to remember is that
the study Of Chinese is a matter of
singing rather than talking. DR.. Jones
said. In English the variations in
tone as we talk mean variations In ex-
preston. In Chinese variations in tone
mean totally different words.
A little Of the Chinese method is
present. even in our own language. and
the lecturer pointed out that the SIM
pie word Ives" may be so varied In
tone as to mean 1T is the case" "Of
course ii Is the case" 1T Is really so"
and 1T may be so. but I'm not quite
sure"
The student who wishes to learn
good Chinese must familiarize himself
perfectly with at least six tones. There
is seventh. but that may be more or
less left out of account. According to
the tone in which they are pronounced
there are words in Cantonese which
have six separate and distinct mean-
ings. The Chinese word fan" for in
stance. may be SO pronounced. or rath-
er sung. as to mean six different words
and such widely different ones as sleep.

HITTING THE HYPHEN.
One Would Hardly Think the Little
Mark Was So Important.

"aFN was % tfUPo'tout.
There is enough energy wasted in
placing the hyphen in to-day" ito
night" and Tomorrow" every week
day to haul passenger train around
the world. 1t is claimed there are 200.
100000 English writing people and
that they average to hyphenate these
words three times a day. Some may
not average to do this more than three,
times a week and a few perhaps moi
three times month: others write those
words and place the hyphens in them
scores Of times each day, especially
newspaper men, typewriters. authors
business men, school children and the
like.
The acquiring of sufficient power
from baking these hyphens each day
to propel a passenger train around the
world is figured on the basis that it
takes half an ounce Of energy to make
the stroke either with pen or pencil
and more for a typewriter that repre-
sents the hyphen. and this would total
100000 pounds Of energy. or stuff
cient for the train.
1t takes an ounce Of energy to make
the hyphen on a typewriting machine
and three to make it on a typesettinc
machine. and the statistician has fig.
ured that typewriting and typesettine
machines alone take up sufficient en-
ergy each day to propel battleship
from New York to the Panama canal
All these figures We're compiled as
an argument against using the hyphen
in these words. Many people do not
but the majority do. Those who are
working toward greater efficiency in
everything claim that the hyphen in
these words is not at all necessary and
should be discontinued by every one
saving great deal of valuable time
and energy.-Philadelphia Ledger
