Slow ors~th o. languages.

30 long as government was conduct
ed exclusively BY q throne and arts
tocracy. the ruling class was con
strained to speak one Language. that Of
the court and Of polite society. An
cultivated people In the land were edu.
Gated In the same literary tongue.
which was naturally used in odicial
transactions.
The uneducated classes talked their
own dialects and cared little what
their rulers spoke. They have not n.
ways objected even when these men
affected 4 foreign culture. Frederick
the Great thought himself 4 French
litterateur and spelled his name like q
Frenchman. But when popular cleo
lions were introduced, and sin more
when primary schools became univer-
sal. the question Of language assumed
far greater importance. A. Lawrence
Towel writes in the Independent, New
York. Then the matter Of race was
brought to the forefront.

FIRST NAVAL TRAINING POST
wee Rstabils,,sd 1t Boston. Largely
Through Efforts Of Commodore
william oalnbridoe.

The first naval school In the United
States was established at the old Bos-
ton navy yard more than q century
ago, the founder being Commodore
Bainbridge, who IL known As the ~Fa-
Their Of American Naval Construction"
and who was born In Princeton. N. J.
Bainbridse was captured By the
French in 1873. during the naval con-
nicts between that country and the
United States, and in 1902 he was
held q prisoner for nine months By
the Tripolitan pirates.
He fought CALAMITY in the last war
between America and England. and
after Its conclusion induced the wash
ington authorities to open q training
school for officers at Boston. In 1910.
some years after the death Of the
founder Of American naval education,
q naval school was opened In the old
naval asylum in Philadelphia, and here
for . few years the midshipmen Of
the republic were instructed In the
arts Of warfare Oh the sea. The plan
was % successful that It was decided
to open permanent naval academy.
Annapolis, Nd. was chosen a. the site
Of the school and there the present
United States Naval academy was
formally opened.

sand Dunes In oa.eenx.

One Of the most interesting and re-
markable Of the many regions for The
observation Of sand dunes lies between
bordeaux and Bayonne, In Gascony.
The sea here throws every year upon
the beach. along a line Of 100 miles in
length. some 100000 cubic yards Of
sand. The prevailing westerly winds
continue picking up the surface parti.
cles from the westward slope. where
they are again deposited. and the en-
tire ridge by this means alone moves
gradually inward. In the course Of
years there has thus been formed q
complex system Of dunes. all approx.
mately parallel with the coast and
with one another and Of all attitudes
up to $50 feet. These are marching
steadily inward at 4 rate Of from three
to six feet year. whole villages hav.
Ing sometimes been torn down to pre-
vent burial and rebuilt at q distance.
