origin Of the Word "cop."

The word "eop" originated In Lon.
don. being derived from the three
Initials Of constable Of police" This
interesting bit of Information comes
from Police Commissioner Enright Of
New York City.
Chief Enright's theory OF how the
word "cop" came Into being has expe
rience. precedent and probability To
back II. II has experience. because
Commissioner Enright Is conversant
with police affairs. It has precedent
because when the words Of phrase
happen to have initials which, taken
together. can be pronounced In one
syllable. there Is a tendency to lump
thers In one. and 80 form new word.
1t has probability because the ETY.
moingy suggested is simple and nat.
urnl. Cop" Is an abbreviation which
any EnglIsh-speaking public would like
10 make Of constable Of police"
Nobody knows all about a word until
he has looked up It's origin. To do
that is one OF the best OF helps toward
liking the meaning Of words much
long5. and far less familiar than cop"

What Does Freedom Mean?

Is a man free in any country where
his government fails to protect him
in his right to work as an individual,
without first paying tribute to some
organization
Would you Mr.. Citizen, stand for
taking this right away and for our
government failing to protect any
workman in his right to work whether
he belonged to union or not?
Freedom for man to join a union
and work also means freedom for him
not to join and still be free to work.
Freedom is not for one to the exclus-
ion Of another, else we have no free
dom.

Tennis Under Difficulties

Tennis in the South Sea islands
is not as delightful as it might be,
although it has its ardent devotees.
Play usually commenced in the al
legged cool of the evening. The
players wore shirts and a vest, moth
ing else, and with inch-thick rubber
glued to the sOles of their shoes by
way Of protection against the heat and
hardness Of the courts. In five min
utes everybody would be mere drip
ping rag of profuse perspiration. But
no matter, it was tennis, though argu-
ments across the nets seemed the
players strongest point. One of these
resulted in a bet as to who would win
a game played in divers helmet and
boots, respectively. 1t was put to the
test with the utmost gravity and
resulted in a dead heat, the man
in the helmet being unable to see
through his three glass windows
quickly enough to take the ball, and
the booted competitors being unable
to move.

RELIC OF SPANISH ARMADA?
Anchor Fished Up Off Scottish Coast
Is Thought to Be Three
Centuries Old.

Not long ago the crew of an Eng
fish trawler engaged in lobster fishing,
near Kinsale, had great difficulty in
getting their anchor aboard. 1t was
firmly fixed in some massive, hard
substance in the sand bank.
When at last they succeeded in
bringing it to the surface, there was
attached to it a very ancient anchor,
five tons in weight, the shank being
over ten feet long and the bend of
equal proportions. Fastened to the
anchor was small cannon.
This anchor, which probably be-
longed to one of the ships of the
Spanish armada, wrecked on this
coast, has become covered with marine
matter, and this, in the three centuries
during which it had been embedded in
the sand, had been converted into a
rocky fossil substance.
The anchor is, of course. consider
ably worn, but it still presents a very
massive appearance, and must have
belonged to very large ship.

Insist Puff Adder Can Make
Long-Distance Jump.

One of the greatest causes for dread
to be found in the African jungle is
Snakes" and every camp fire brings
to light fresh stories of reptile ter
rOrs.
There is one camp topic that sup
plies more thrills even than the Kos
ter caves, and that is snakes. You
have only to say Snakes" and as
though you said pisa" to a pack of
keen dogs, everyone at the "rOndsit"
Is off on full tongue after mambas,
cobras, ringhals, shaap-sticker, puff
adder, and python; and Of all the
yarns that are related, says a we'll
known traveller, l swear nothing will
beat the absolutely rooted belief that
putf-adder can and does jump back
wards over full-siZed tent wagon!
A man has told me with evident sin
certify that he has "seen it." Yes
He has seen four feet of puff-adder
that is built on lines of immobility-
spring backwards and spring ten feet
high! However, every puff-adder /
have had the honor to meet declined,
even at the threat of death, to spring
an inch. What he did was to anchor
three parts of his bloated body on
the ground, and then lunge with the
fourth part. His reach might be a
foot and as his fangs are long and
curved he gives the appearance of
striking backwards" because the head

position. An active puff-adder, very
angry, can exert itself to strike, pre-
pare, and strike again-thus covering,
say, two feet in two swift lunges. The
idea that this sluggish reptile can
spring clear of the ground is rldicu-
lous, yet it prevails among a class
of men whose business takes them
into the veldt, and who are proud of
their observation powers.
