THE MUD SPARROWS.
(Based on an old Jewish Legend. }

Through the streets Of Nazareth

town made the best places to play, and
today such a lovely, warm, blue and
golden day, too-made just for boys
and birds out-of-doors' play.

Luke.
I'D like to make mud sparrows,.
said Daniel.
The other little boy did not say
anything. He moved among the
others, straight and slender. His face
was happy, as if he had happy
thoughts.
In hollow among the hills, where
a brook stopped long enough among
the reeds and grasses to make the sol
moist, the boys stopped, too, to make
mud sparrows. In just few minute.

WHY?
Why Is Latin Used for the Scientific
Names of Chemicals and Ptautsi
Copyright 1920. by
Wheeler Syndicate Inc.

Though now numbered among the
dead languages"- phrase deacrip-
tive Of tongues which are no longer
spoken BY any nation as a whole
Latin was at one time the most power
full and widely understood language
in the world. and ii has at least par
thal life in the fact that il is respon-
sdble for approximately one-half of the
English words and more than half Of
those used by the French, Italian and
Spanish peoples.
At the time when Latin was at its
height. the period of Roman domina
tion, a number of the chemicals and
plants with which we arc familiar to-
day were well known 70 those who
used this language. and it was only
natural that their names should be
phrased in terms which were then
thoroughly unders "a nda ble Long ar
ter the fall of Rome. Latin remained
as the language of the learned. Books
were written only in Latin. and il was
the only means of expression used at
lectures and other discussions. thus
providing a common meeting-ground
for the scientists of all nations, a sort
OF scientific Esperanto. As a result
the great Swedish naturalist, Lime
better known by the Latinized form
Of his name. Linnaeus. applied Latin
names 10 his classifications OF plants.
and a similar course was followed
with chemicals, thus making il posi-
BILE for scientists who do not under
stand the colloauial languages of other
countries to follow even the most in
volved technical discussions with but
little difficulty
