SATURN'S HAT ON CROOKED.
Rings and Angle on Planet, but It's
Only 2e-Year Resetting.

If it isn't one thing it's another. Now
St seems that Saturns hat is not on
consequence. Professor Edwin B. Frost,
and ali sorts of awkward things are
predicted for our poor little earth in
consequence, Professor Edwin B. Frost
the astronomer in charge OF the
Yerkes observatory at Lake Geneva,
I'LL, has asserted that the big planets
rings, which really look at certain an.
giles like the brim of derby hat, are
al on edge.
At their present angle, which is like
" to persist for some weeks, they turn
knife edge to the earth and are hard
to be seen at all. Usually Saturn pre-.
sents a magnificent spectacle to the
star-ga with good telescope, for
1t looks like a blazing grapefruit in
serted in the middle of a luminous din
ner plate-and that is Just about the
planets relation to its three concentrit
rings, which have the visual effect OF
one.
with the edge of the dinner plate
turned toward us we see virtually
nothing but the grapefruit, and It looks
like any other grapefruit The thick
ness of the celestial dinner plate !:
only about 100 miles, according to Pro
lessor Frost's estimate, but the diam
rter of the rings forming the fiat sur
face of that plate is something like
$4,000 miles.
Professor Frost is not especially per
turhed over the behavior Of Saturn
Far from thinking it has anything e
do with the late war. the eighteenth
amendment or the famine in China, h
saws the tipping Of the rings take
place every 20 years.-New York Sun

AN AMERICAN LANGUAGE.
Need of New and Composite Tongue
to Be Peculiar to This People.

"A new language, more concise and
forceful than any spoken, composed OF
all spoken languages and denominated
American is the result which Is ex.
pected by the state Librarian of Ohio
from prize essay contest in that
state on the subject, "Why We Should
Have an American Language Said Il
brarian thinks personally that no red
blooded American ought to ape any
one in anything and gives the result Of
his observations at some point OF
greater congestion or other. He found
in Chicago one Englishman to a thou
sand men of other tongues; ergo, the
percentage Of real English in the whole
is not equal to the percentage OF alco-
hol allowed by the law in beverages
of to-day
The gentleman in question will not
find an agreement with him in critics
in England who accuse US Of speaking
american" not English. But such diff
ferences OF opinion aside, the language
used in the United States is English
to all intents and purposes, although
there are enough national PECULIAR
ties of word phrase and expression
to compel translation on the other side
Of the big pond There is, il is true
American slang, which some hold TO
he language in itself English, Of
course, has slang of its own, but as
Miss Edgeworth points out in her
witty Essay on Irish Bulls" the Eng.
lish slang is not only unimaginatne,
I but also wholly pointless and even
meaningless. American slang, on the
contrary, is picturesque and full OF
| idea and humor; in fact, not few
words and phrases have been legitima
| tized in the dictionary for their real
value. But these few cannot make a
distinctive language. The idea of max
! ing up a tongue Of our own by melt
ing pot process is one to amuse rather
than suggest; il would take genera
tions 10 get il considered seriously and
few more to get il adopted. Wit
