~ Legitimate" star, one Of the

Chelsea 775D' by his convincing
characterization of an eminent, able

disappointments. but which eventu-

cisive victory. Mr.. Dixey Is provided
with one Of the strongest parts which

Chinese or EnQIish7

We hear a good deal nowadays about
spelling reform, but Sir William Ram
say believes it is a pity that we did
not from the beginning adopt the CHI
nese language instead Of our own!
The Chinese did not spell; they used
symbols which conveyed ideas. The
Chinese language had the great adj
vantage that it could be read much
quicker than any spelled language. 1t
went straight from the symbol to the
brain as an idea.
Although he would not support the
adoption of new alphabet on the
lines of the Chinese system, he felt
that 1t was a pity that 5000 or 1000
years ago our ancestors did not adopt
the chinese system.
Outside of the scientists there will
not be many to deplore the choice of
the English language to that picto-
graphic affair the unhappy Chinese
scholars are afflicted with.

Oldest Drama Extant.

A dispatch from Madison, Wis,
about two weeks ago informed read
ers Of the Times that the students in
the State university were about to
stage the book of Job. Professor Kali
len of the university, who had the
staging in hand, remarked that he
had not dramatized the work, but
simply restored it to the form in
which it was originally written for the
ancient Hebrews"
Then the reporter who sent the In
formation out to the world added the
remark, This is different from the
opinion Of most of the big men in lit
erature today"
The "big men in literature today"
may differ from the university man
of Madison, but he has with him the
biggest literary men of the past.
Among these is Thomas Carlyle, who
holds the book of Job is the Oldest
specimen of drama extant. 1t would
be impossible to tell where the book
originated, but it is far older than
Moses, and the writer knew not only
human nature, but the geographical
features Of the whole world as known
in Moses time and a good deal later.

Many luminous frogs have been discovered

luminous by inoculating it with certain bacteria
which produce this phenomenon.
Many theories have been brought forward TO
explain the phenomenon of luminosity, but as yet
very little is known about. In many instances
such as the cases of dead leaves or decayed wood
luminosity is evidently due to fungous growth
but in other cases. where no growth can be seen'
the riddle remains unsolved along with many
other marves of nature.

intruder from beyond the guarded

houses, often stronghold and larder

I like to watch people, too, at their
doorways; the white headed carpen-
ter, who sits on the front step of his
little brown house by the aqueduct;
the bent old woman at the edge of the
wood who banks her tiny habitation
with leaves when winter comes her

of life what knowledge have these folk
