ENGLISH LANGUAGE In PERIL?
"Creeping Paralysis" According to
Henry Van Dyke, Is Threatening
the Speech of the Nation.

The real perils Of the English Ian
guage today, in my judgment, lie not
in expansion or in contraction Of
vocabulary but much more in GER
tain noisy carelessness or sloppy in
difference; a failure to recognize that
thought is desirable not only before
speech but also in speech; an appar-
ent numbness to the finer sense Of
words, writes Henry van Dyke in the
Yale Review. The effects Of this creep
ing paralysis may be observed con-
stantly in streets and shops and ball
rooms, and frequently in books and
newspapers. For example, distin-
guished historian writes that he pro-
poses to "assess'' certain character
when he has no intention Of taxing
it, but simply means to estimate it's
worth. A popular novelist makes his
hero leave room "precipitously," yet
without throwing him down the stairs
or letting him leap from a window.
An ardent advertiser proclaims the
Slogan" Of his ready-made clothing,
although his purposes are all pacific.
Even q philosopher, platonist, writes
that certain plays intrigue" him.,
when evidently he means not that
they perplex him but merely that
they interest him.

SEEMED TO Be SUPERNATURAL
First Sight Of Airplanes Caused
CONSERVATION Among tho Natives
Of Philippine Islands.

When, in order to carry out q sur
vey, airmen visited JohO, Sulu archl-
pelage, Philippine islands, it was the
first time the natives had seen an air.
plane, and they were greatly terrified,
according to a story in the Westmin-
ster Gazette.
Some Of them were convinced that
the machines were sent as emissaries
from Allah, and others believed the
occupants Of the craft themselves
the pilets and the ebservers-were
both all seeing and all powerful.
It was impossible to convince them
otherwise, and the airplanes were
viewed with dread and as supernat-
ural things. Some Of the natives even
went SO far as to declare the planes
were dragons, flown out Of the South
seas, and destined to wreck vengeance
on all bad Moros, according to an old
Arabic legend.
There were thousands Of Moros in
the wilds Of Mindanao who had never
set eyes on white man, and to whom
the pilots, able to soar aloft like the
birds, were altogether outside the
sphere Of ordinary mortals. The air.
men were regarded as objects Of great
wonderment and to be held in the
greatest ave.

LIGHT ON PREHISTORIC RACE
Scientist Explains How He Expects
to Determine Age Of Ancient
Central American Cities.

Prehistoric ruins In America will
soon be accurately dated. This was
the opinion expressed in an address
on '"The Chronological Yardstick Of
Ancient America" by Sylvanus G.
Morley of the Carnegie institute Of
Washington, before the twentieth in
ternational congress of Americanists.
Doctor Merleys "yardstick" is the
marvellous Magyar calendar by which
the ages Of the ancient cities Of Qua
temala and Yucatan will eventually be
determined more accurately than the
ages Of the cities Of ancient Egypt.
There was a desultory trading in
Magyar pottery carried on with the
peoples In Mexico, Peru and the south
western United States. This pottery
found among these other peoples and
its Magyar date determined by COM
parison with similar pottery in Central
America may lead to an approximately
accurate date being set upon the cliff
dwellings Of the United States and
ruins in Peru and Mexico, Doctor Nor
ley thinks.
+ He also told of his researches into
the great walled city Of Tulum, in W.
catan. The walling Of city was ex-
ceptional in Central America and this
fortified town on bluff overlooking
the Caribbean sea, with a wall on
three land sides, represents the crude
work which followed the breakdown
Of the great Magyar civilization in the
Fifteenth century after Christ, when
these early city-states fell to fighting
their own race.-By Science Service.
