TERM OF MUCH SIGNIFICANCE
Phrase South Of Panama" Means
Much More Than Merely q GEO.
graphical Location.

South of Panama" is q phrase
which has q mighty Significance. It
means not merely geographical loca-
ton. 1t signifies vast virgin areas of
lowland and upland contrasted with
fallow valleys and lofty plateaus pop
ulated and cultivated through centu-
ries.
1t means barren and burned noun
tains and dreary deserts mingled with
forested and watered slopes, grassy
llanos and pampas and Towering sa-
vannas.
1t the mixing Of almost for.
gotten aboriginal races and surviving
Indian types with the intellectual and
refined descendants of early Spaniards
and Portuguese and the later sprin-
king of adventuresome Germans,
Italians, English and Americans.
1t means an ancient civilization, fas-
cinating Incan ruins, old-fashioned
Moorish and Spanish architecture in
the sleeping cities and towns with
strange peoples and conditions bark
ing back to far centuries, hard by q
new civilization, modern skyscrapers
and %boulevards in growing commercial
e%ntrepots and ambitious capitals with
progressive peoples and conditions
which rival the best hat the old East
and the new West of North America
can show.

Food by Proxy.

Most of us know some particular
food or drink, the desire for which 10
stimulated in us by reading about It.
But the writing must be skillful, or II
not skillful, artlessly good. The cruder
method of the stage produces the same
effect; all smokers have experienced
the almost overwhelming desire to
smoke which m upon them when
someone lights a cigarette on the
stage; these strange and rapid restau-
rant meals OF the fashionable theater,
when a party sits down at q table and
is whirled through six courses in
about Ave minutes, surrounded by
champagne bottles in ice buckets and
trays of liquors, have an absurdly ex-
citing effect.

WORDS CHANGE IN MEANING
Sometimes Through the Centuries
They Became Contradictory
Two Great Examples.

1t is a curious habit hat history re-
veals. that of stripping q word of its
original meaning and clothing 1t with
a meaning radically different. We
were told in our high school days that
Slav meant originally, MASTER" and
that when the Slavs were captured In
great numbers by the more civilized
nations Of Europe and impressed
INTO involuntary servitude, they gave
their once proud name to be used for
ever to designate the condition of
slavery. Modern etymologists are in
clined to scout the idea that the word
Slav came from the old Bulgarian
"slava." which signihed glory" but
in the Ease of another perverted word
there is no dispute. That word Is
"Mameluke."
In Turkey a mameluke was a slave
boy. usually a Circassian, who did
mental work in the household of the
master. About the year 1900 a great
body OF these slaves were sold by
Genghis Khan to the ruler OF Egypt.
In 80 years they had seized the gov
eminent, assassinated the monarch
and elected one Of their number to
the throne. Their government lasted
until 1917. when they were overthrow
by selim l, sultan of Turkey. but they
continued to be a power in the army
until the beginning of the nineteenth
century, when Mehmet All had them
m~assacred, because no ruler could
ever feel secure or his throne as long
as the cavalry wing of his army was
composed Of mamelukes. Their very
name had come to signify the master
full qualities that belong not to the
slave, but to the conqueror.

string of kites to an altitude OF 1900
feet. Messages transmitted from the
set of field wireless attached to this
kite-supported aerial were received
$50 miles away with distinctness, al
though the ordinary range of the set
was only % miles. One thing that
aided materially in obtaining this re-
suit wal the fact that the kites flew
so steadily that the aerial was always
maintained at a constant altitude.
Quite as remarkable as the sending
power of the wireless was its receiv-
ing quality. Messages were received
with distinctness from the battleship
Georgia while off Newport and from
the government station at Arlington,
Va, and Bermuda.
These experiments were but the
first of a long series that will be con
Quoted, and 1t is the belief of those
who are interested in the matter that
they will lead to a system by which
the range of the ordinary field wireless
will be materially increased. United
States government and Marconi Off
