Sir Douglas Straight used to tell
story of a libel case in which he had
defended "a man successfully on the
ground that he was not to be regarded
as an ordinary individual because he
was in the habit OF using the most out
rageous language on the most trifing
provocation. The jury accepted Sir
Douglas view and found for the de
PENDANT But on leaving the court Sir
Douglas met his client waiting for him
in a paroxysm of fury. What In
thunder do you mean, sir, by saying
that l am not to be treated like an or

London, Aug. S-American painters
lack natiOnalism; they are content to
initiate the French; their one ideal is
prettiness and often prettiness with
out meaning. according to some of the
criticism passed by British experts
on a large and representative collec-
ton of American art which has been
on view in a gallery here. The one
thing they find to praise is what one
critic terms the high level of tech
nical excellence"
Eliminating a half dozen paintings
of cowboy scenes, prairies and sky
srapers, this critic declares Z" the rest
might well be an exhibition OF French
pictures, and those better by far than
may be. found in the Beaux Arts. Nor
is there any individual development of
French impulses. The roots of Amer
lean art are not fixed in its own soil,
but in Montparnasse."

About the only gambling in Switzer-

Paris, Aug. 10-The latest fad among
fashionable Parisians is having the
tongue read. "Glossomancy," as the
new science is styled, is akin to chiro-
NANCY and graphology. and consists in
having the character told by the shape
and dimension of the tongue. a long
tongue shows frankness; a short one,
discrimination; a broad one, unreserv-
edness; a marrow one, concentration.
When the tongue is long and broad,
it is a sign that its owner is inclined
to gcssiping; when it is long and mar
row, that he is moderately frank and
open. Those who possess a short and
broad tongue are untruthful, and peo-
pie should be careful of those whose
tongue is short and narrow, for they
are sly as well as bad tempered. The
new science makes sticking out the
tongue not only bad-mannered, but
dangerous.

St Gall, Switzerland, Aug. 10-The
exports of Swiss embroidery to the
United States were less last June by
about 100000 than during June, 1913.

London, Aug 10-Boiling over slow
fire is the happiest death lobster
can meet, so it has been determined
at the Jersey marine biological sta
ton The experiments were carried
out by Joseph Sinel. a well known
biologist, for the Jersey Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals,
whose members associated the preva-
lent method of killing Holsters with
medieval torture.
HOLSTERS, says Mr.. Sinel, are ex-
tremely difficult to kill. Piercing the
brain does not seem to cause the lob
ster more than temporary annoyance,
since his brain is a mere nerve gan
glion the size of a hempseed. He
has to be killed all over To throw
him into boiling water fails to do the
work either mercifully or quickly.
since he struggles violently to escape
for about two minutes.
The pleasantest way to end a lob
ster's troubles, Mr.. Sinel finds, is the
old fashioned way of placing him in
cold water and bringing him to a boil.
As the water warns, he becomes mere
ly lazy and rolls over as for a sleep.
BY the time the water reaches the
comparatively mild temperature of 20
degrees, Fahrenheit, he becomes COM
atose. At so degrees he is dead. To
says it is like a person succumbing to
a heat wave, with loss of conscious
ness and painless end.

London, Aug 1O-While the phrase
"a little bit" is so easy for native Eng
lish speaking persons TO pronounce
that it would seem to make weak
test for sobriety, it has been picked
out from all other tongue twisters by
Professor Walter Rippman of the Uni
versfty of London for foreigners to
practice on. Any one who can say "a
little bit" correctly has nothing else
to fear in proncuncing English, Pro
fessor Rippman has told the students
from IS foreign countries who are
here to take the special summer
course of lectures arranged for their
benefit.
The beginner in English usually
gets no closer to "a little bit" than
