The Greek LANGUAGE.

In ancient times. before the con-
quest Of Alexander the Great there
were many differences in the dialects
spoken in different parts Of Greece
About $50 B. c. common dialect
sometimes called Hellenistic Greek
arose. This is the Greek Of the New
Testament BY 500 A. ID. the differ
ences between the spoken and written
language had become SO great that the
literary language was supplanted by
the spoken. From this time the Ian
guage has been further changed 10
grammar. infection and by the intro
duction Of loan words from other Ian
guages. notably from the Italian and
Turkish. Since the Greek kingdom
was established in 1880 there has been
a movement toward the ancient idiom.
This has resulted again in a gap be-
tween spoken and written Greek The
new movement has made such prog.
ress. however. that it is not too much
to say that modern newspaper would
be now Ineligible to Plato.

Glaciers of Nebraska.

Many Of the physical features OF
eastern Nebraska were produced by
sheets Of ice that invaded the region
during and after the earlier stages of
the great ice age At the opening Of
the glacial epoch the great Keewatin
glacier spread southwark and covered
large parts of the Dakotas, Minnesota
and Iowa and extended thence into
eastern Nebraska. where It was proba
bly, several hundred feet thick. This
first stage Of glaclation was brought
to close by the melting of the ice in
a warmer interglacial time or stage
the Aftonian. A remarkable assem-
blage Of animals invaded the region
after the ice had disappeared. and the
bones and teeth Of many of these ami
mails have been found in the Aftonian
deposits Of western Iowa. The late
Professor Samuel Calvin identified the
remains Of horses. camels stays. ele-
plants. mastOdons. mammoths and

Anti. Air Craft Shells.

Special shells have to be used In
anti-air craft guns. for the ordinary
shell fired into the air cannot be seen
In its flight, and the gunner would
have no idea whether he went near
bis target or not. So tracer" shells
are used In anti-air craft guns.
This she'll leaves a trail of smoke by
day and fire by night. so that its flight
can clearly be seen. and the gunner is
able to observe how far off his target
he Is.
The tracer" has In its base an in
dammable composition which is fired
as the shell leaves the gun. The actual
base Of the shell has In it number
Of holes. through which the smoke
streams as the shell makes its way
through the air. At night a firework
attachment to the base of the shell
takes the place Of the smoke compost
ton.
The she'll itself is a high explosive
shrapnel-that is to say. it is a shell
with thick steel high explosive head
and a thin steel body filed with bull
let's. When it bursts the flying frag-
ments Of thick steel from the head
smash up the aeroplane or Zeppelin.
while the flying bullets kill or wound
the aviatOrs.-Pearson's.

Our First Naval Hero.

The first naval hero Of the United
States now almost forgOtten-was
Jeremiah O'Brien. Maine man. whose
racial descent is clearly indicated by
his name. He commanded an Ameri.
can vessel in the first naval battle OF
the Revolution. which was fought near
Machias. Me-. June IL. 1775. Some
little time before an English schooner,
the Margranetto. was at Machias, and
number of people of the town, led
by Jeremiah O'Brien and Benjamin
Foster, conspired to capture her. The
attempt was successful. and. with
O'Brien in command, the Margranetto
made a voyage to the bay Of Fundy.
An English schooner and tender were
sent out to look for the Margranetto.
and when O'Brien returned to Machias
he found them awaiting him. The
first naval battle of the United States
was fought then and there, and
OBrien and his men added the schoon-
er and tender to their prizes.-New

OF the fossil forests which have 90
far been discovered probably the most
remarkable Is to be seen In Yellow
stone park, where the greater part Oh
the trees stand upright in their natural
position instead Of being recumbent
and scattered about the ground. as In
other parts of the world In Arizona
the fossilized trunks have evidently
been carried a long distance from
where they originally grew. In the
Yellowstone the trees now stanu
where they grew and where they were
entombed by the outpouring of various
volcanic materials.
Now as the softer rocks surrounding
them are gradually worn away they
are left standing erect on the steep
hillsides just as they stood when they
were living. In fact. it is difficult at
little distance to distinguish some OF
these fossil trunks from the lichen Gov
cred stumps Of kindred living species.
1t should not be supposed. however.
that these trees still retain their limbs
and smaller branches. for the mass Of
volcanic material falling on them strip
ped the trunks bare.

Namino a Vast Sixs.

A curious item In the trade slang OF
hosiers Is the term "pope's size" ap-
piled to vests. They classify the scale
Of chest measurements for these as:
Small mems. 81 inches; slender mems.
"a inches: mems. 36 inches; pope's. 80
inches; out size. AZ inches.
The origin Of this term, which has
been current for nearly century, was
discussed some years ago In Notes
and Queries. when it was stated on
good authority that 1t had no connec.
ton with the successors Of st. Peter
1t appears that the head of an old
firm of west end hosiers, Messrs
Pope & Plante. ordered this size to be
made specially for his own personal
use. and the manufacturer called It
after him for want of better name
