The Greek Language.

In ancient times. before the con

were many differences In the dialects

About $50 B. G. a common dialect,
sometimes called Hellenistic Greek,
arose This Is the Greek Of the New
Testament By 500 A d. the differ.
ences between the spoken and written
language had become 50 great that the
literary language was supplanted by
the spoken From this time the Ian
guage has been further changed In
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
q 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

a number Of people OF the town. led

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

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 II was proba-
bly, several hundred feet thick. This
first stage Of glaciation was brought
to a close by the melting Of the fee In
a warmer interglacial time or stage
the Aftonian. A remarkable assem-
blage OF animals invaded the region
after the fee 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

remains Of horses. camels. stays, ele-

Severe neuralgia can be cured by In
