Don't Pronounce Il "e.tIs."

A New York writer takes physicians
to task for their almost universal mis-
pronunciation of words ending In "ltis"
by giving the FIRST "l' the long "e"
sound. He says this causes many other
persons to feel uncertain whether ap.
pendicitis is pronounced with the tw'
final syllables "e-tis" or "i-tls," with
other words of the class--colltis, tonsl-
lltis and so on-in the same uncertain.
ty. He says that according to the rules
Of EnglIsh-Latin pronunciation usual.
ly followed In scientific Technology
whether from the Latin or the Creek
by Engllsh-speaking scientists the
termination "I-tis" is correct. The
proper pronunciation Of appendicitis
therefore would be ap-pen-dls-i-tis,
which makes the ''itis" like the In Ice
and not as In eel.
The writer says further: According
TO Webster-"itis" is correct and that
the pronunciation "e-tis," 80 often
heard, is perhaps due to German In
fluence. The German scientists have
brought about tbs change and II we
are to use the term In correct way
we should adhere to the rules Of Eng
hsh-Latin pronunciation. This sugges.
ton Of the possible German influence
will probably go further to establish
q correct pronunciation than respect
for Engllsh-Latin Technology.

Dread OF Poverty.

A great deal Of apparent poverty
comes from dread Of poverty. A man
saves every cent and goes mind and
soul hungry and. ten to one, he Is
starving somebody else at the same
time, along with himself. He is real
ly poor, for the time being, although
he has a large bank account. Poverty
will come every time as the result Of
the improper attitude toward money.
Money Is not a reality; II represents
things that we consider for our good.
But there is no poverty like that OF
the starved soul that shrlnks and
dries up into narrowness and compress
sion. In getting the feeling Of wealth,
look about you. See all the wonders
Of nature; believe that wonders will
happen and then get ready for them.
After the days work is done build air
castles, and then go in and lay a strong
foundation under one Of them. Ex-
pect to develop into efficiency neces-
sary for the bigger Job. The key to
this lies in your hands In doing the
little things well.-Patrlck Feston In
the Nautilus.

The House
Without Clocks
0<1
BY ELLIOTT FLOWER

VCopyrght, The Frank A. Mungey Col
Perhaps it is incorrect to speak of
1t as the house without clocks. That
depends upon your definition of q
clock.
If you consider anything larger than
a watch that has dial and moving
hands as clock, this house had sew
eral Of them; but If you hold that a
clock Is not a clock unless 1t tells the
time, why, this house had none.
There were only some clocklike
wedding presents that looked pretty
That is why Henry Homer Hoskins
bought on alarm clock. and an
nounced that 1t was to be the autocrat
In the future. He was tired Of leaving
the parley at 8 20 (by the parlor clock)
and arriving In the dining room at
8 AS (by the dining-room clock).
1t was most annoying and confus
ing; and 1t was even worse when the
maid rang the rising bell at precisely
seven by the kitchen clock. which re
suited in getting Mr.. and Mrs. Hos.
kins fully dressed at $3.50 by the bed

Then. If It happened that break
fast was served by the dlning-room
clock, there were more complications

MAKE THE WIND SAVE COAL
Ingenious Air Motors That Are Used
on Farms Would Serve Well
Also for Towns.

It would be hard to trace a resem-
blance between the picturesque wind
mills of Holland and the wind.power
electric plants to be seen here and
there on farms throughout this coun-
try. Mounted In steel frames capable
Of withstandlng even hurricane, this
type Of air motor supplies electricity
for all farm needs, and there is no
reason why they should not be built
large enough to develop thousands Of
horsepower, thereby effectlng a per-
manent saving In coal. says Electrical
Experlmenter. In fact, such a plant
has been designed for the town Of
Tomah, Wis.
The working parts OF these mills
are inclosed in weatherproof castings,
filed with lubricating oil and mounted
on ball bearings. The power values
turn on their bearings in such man
ner as to expose them to the wind at
the angle Of greatest efficiency, no
matter from what quarter It may
blow. For only 80 degrees of the
circle does the wind strike the vane
on its edge or at point where the
fullest power Is not developed.
The most ingenious features are the
automatic controls. When the storage
batteries are charged the mill stops !;
after they have given up certain
amount of current the vanes are
thrown into the wind and begin work
again. If the velocity of the air cur
rents would develop a speed injurious
to the machinery the angle of the
vanes to the wind automatically
changes. preventing the mill from run

requires little attention. Reasonable
care must be given to the generator.

first among them is the wedding pres
ent clock. II is seldom you see any
thing that combines so much of beau
ty and unreliability"
Thereupon Henry Homer Hoskins
set all the clocks by his watch and
began the task Of regulating them.
But in this he was discouraged by his
wife.
You're getting me more confused
every day." she complained. II used
to know exactly how much the bed
room clock lost, so all had to do
was to remember when 1t was set and
then take pad Of paper and pen
ell and figure out the hour. Now 1t
loses one day and gains the next, and
have to hunt up my watch when l
want to know the time"
OF course every one knows how
hard It Is for n woman to find her
watch, when she carries II from one
part OF the house to another because
she has no place for 1t In her house
gown and yet has to refer to 1t from
time to time.
SO, after various experts had tink-
cred with the Maynard clocks and
failed TO make them absolutely reli-
able, Henry Homer Hosklns brought
home the alarm clock and declared
himself In no uncertain voice.
81 am tired" he said, "of getting
up before I wake up, Of having break
fast before / get up, and of getting
to the office before | start. am also
tired Of constantly reaching for my
watch to verify the rising bell. bed
time, the breakfast hour, the dinner
hour and eighteen or twenty other
things. have here clock that isn't
pretty, but II Is accurate, and II speaks
In n loud tone. II is my purpose to
manipulate this clock myself; no one
else Is to touch 1t, and In all matters
relating to time l will not permit Its
decisions to be questioned. II is guar
anteed."
For some unaccountable reason
Mrs. Henry Homer Hoskins decided
that this was a reflection upon her
and her management, and she was
not pleased.
The fact that twice when she had
let her watch run down her husband
had derived much amusement and sat.
Isfactlon from the complications that
ensued had a tendency to make her
even more resentful, but ostensibly
she bowed meekly to his will.
When a woman does this. It is time
for her husband to lie awake nights
looking for trouble, the rule among
wise men being "the meeker she Is,
the greater the trouble; but Henry
Homer Hoskins had not the wisdom
that comes with wide experience.
IT desire to have rest, real rest"
he said. II don't want to worry about
the time; don't wish to be forever
wondering whether I am getting up
tomorrow or the day before yester.
day. We will dispense with the rising
