Whence Come Our Letters.

The alphabet we use is a queer
thing, when we come 10 think of it.
In effect it is made up of conventional
signs.
Turn this page upside down, and
you cannot read it. 1t might almost
as well be printed in Russian char
acters or Arabic.
Few subjects have enlisted on the
part of language students more specu-
lative thought than the origin of the
alphabet. 1t is today a matter much
in dispute.
There are those who aver that on
pebbles almost as ancient as the early
cave dwellers of southern Europe
have been found inscribed characters
representing the origin of some of our
alphabetical letters of today.
But the theory most generally &C
cepted at the present time is that the
letters of our alphabet originated with
the ancient Egyptians. They were,
to begin with, "ideographs.'
Take IS" for example. In form it
represents snake: The sound of the
letter is the kissing of a snake. There
you have it. What more could be de-
manded of a single letter in an alpha
bet? It is whole picture.

GUARDED BY CANNON.
Prussian Capital Surrounded by Large
Number of Guns.

Berlin is defended by labyrinth
Of monster guns of diameter ranging
from 22 to 42 inches, hidden in pits
35 to SIS feet deep and 125 to $50
feet apart, and in three circles sur
rounding the city.
These defenses were outlined by
John Erickson, native Of Sweden, en-
ployed by the Rice Lake Lumber COM
pany of Minnesota. Erickson worked
for five years on the outer defenses of
Berlin and before that time worked
for the Motala Gun Works in Sweden,
turning out heavy ordnance for Ger
many, which was prepared at that
time to make good it's dream of world
domination.
Some of the guns forming the de-
fence of Berlin are 200 feet long. All
the guns are hidden in pits. Founda-
tions are set in seven feet of granite
sunk in the bottom of the pits. OF the
three circles of these pits surrounding
the city, one is seven miles from the
city's outskirts, the next circle is
eleven miles from the city and the
largest ring circles the city fifteen
miles distant.
A screen roof now protects these
guns both from the elements and
from sight A layer of two feet of
dirt covers the top. Gardens, grass,
crops and even trees are planted over
the instruments of death to prevent
their being detected. Electric mo-
tors are so arranged that these COW
erings may be thrown off like sheets
of paper at a moments notice.
Electricity controls the huge guns.
The heart of the city is connected
with every gun pit by electric rail-
ways running through the subways
for carrying ammunition and rein
forcements.
A chart with a map and dial to
indicate just where each shell is to
fall hangs on the wall of every gum
pit. The guns throw shells twenty
five or thirty miles. The destination
of each shell is determined by the
elevation at which each gun is fired,
and elevations are obtained through
the use of electric motors to move
the guns.
Prior to his employment on the de-
fences of Berlin Erickson says he
worked for years for the Motala gun
works in Sweden. These works, as
we'll as every gun works of Sweden,
worked for day and night for years
prior to the war supplying munitions
for Germany.
Just before the war was declared
Erickson says the Motala gun works
turned out 100000 automatic
rifles for Germany. This was the
elimination of a huge order embrac-
ing every sort of gun and cannon,
which for years kept $500 men in
this gun works busy.
Plans for the defense of Berlin,
Erickson said, were laid twenty
years ago. Militarists of Germany,
he said, had planned the fall of Ma
muir and Liege years before the war
was declared, and they also planned

their own capital must have defences
stronger than those of the Belgian
cities.
Numerous smaller German cities
are similarly protected, he said.
