GLASS TO SEE SUMS ECLIPSE

About half of the people of Cody

neck from observing the partial eclip-
Sc of the sun that was visible in Cody
on Monday, early in the afternoon.
Scores of people were seen standing
on the streets, gazing at the pheno-
mena through pieces of smoked glass
or Photographic films.
To the Cody observers the eclipse
seemed to be about ga total, the sun
appearing in the form of a crescent.
while a total eclipse was observed at
points along the coast of southern
California.
Total eclipses of the sun are rare.

in force to observe and take photo
graphs.
Scientists from Yerkes Observa-
tory; University of Chicago; Univer-
sity of Wisconsin,; Goodsell Observa-
tory; Carleton College and the Lick
Observatory of the University of
California and many of lesser note in
the scientific world were stationed
at points of vantage on the California
coast, with huge telescopes and Gamer
as with 8 inch lenses to endeavor to
obtain pictures of the eclipse.
Another interesting experiment was
the attempt to obtain photographs
from airplanes flying at a height of
10000 feet.
The eclipse began at II :2S and was
over at 2.18 P. NJ. as seen by the OBJ
servers on the coast.

GARRETT P. SERVISS RAPS
SPELLING REFORM PLANS
By Garrett p. Serviss,
Of Words Has Become
Important Than Their Sound.
Appearance

" HE primary error OF the spell
ing reformers, who are doing
their best to make page OF
written or printed English bristle
like hedgehog's back and hiss
like q nest Of serpents, lies IN
the assumption that the only es-
sential characteristics of words
are their sounds. And then they
make this worse by misrepresen-
tations of the sounds themselves.
What good speaker says "Wisht
for wished, or "lam' for lamb?
True, the final led" and ID"
are not clearly articulated, but
they give q shade, q nuance. to
the pronunciation, which any
critical ear perceives and appre-
ciates. Even If IL is only re-
Elected memory Of the spelling 1t
ia valuable. The "reformers" try
to sweep away hundreds of such
distinctive spellings Of words,
sonetinoes completely destroying
all that they stand for in the tenn
nerannent and the historical evolu-
ton of the language.
THE origin of our language is
So complex, and It is so rich in
collected and combined materials,
and derives so much strength,
variety and vitality from it's orig
inaI sources, that 1t is hardly too
fanciful to affirm that its words
are like trees which die if cut off
from their roots. Instead Of re-
FORMING the language in any valu-
able way these proposed whole
sale changes Of spelling, suggested
bv imperfect appreciation Of the
real sounds Of the language, and
total Indifference to it's etymology,
would impoverish 1t by eradicat-
ing many Of its most subtle ele-
ments
To return to where I began: it
ia all wrong to treat words as
only vocal sounds. That would
be going back to the savage state.
Civilized man has so long been
accustomed to writing and print
ing that the look of word is as
full of significance to him as it's
sound. It speaks to the mind
through the eye, and it's deepest
and most important meanings are
conveyed rather through the Wis

LUCY LOWELL ON MAKING
MOST OF ONES SELF
Women Wise to Increase Charms by Judicious Use of
Beauty Aids.

" HEY were talking of q
singer who just had . re-
u turned from long, trium-
plant tour Of Europe.
And which is she snow-blonde
or brunette? one of them asked.
My dear, she's the most per-
feet blonde you ever saw! I'd
no idea she wasn't naturally so!
Well, she isn't. She started
out with brown hair. knew her
when back in San Francisco
nearly fifteen years ago.
The first speaker looked skep-
teal. She didn't think the singer
appeared old enough to have
been making public appearance
fifteen years.
But the other stated with en-
phasis that she was old enough
and then some.
And the time she spends keep
ing that young look. It's posi-.
lively scandalous! The idea Of
bleaching her hair!
But no one would know It is
bleached. 1t really is done
awfully well. And she did look
attractive"
The first speaker elevated her
nose.
"Of course her voice is good,
but wouldn't 1t sound just as we'll
II she were not quite so particu-
lar about her appearance?'
They dropped the matter Of the
singer then, but / went on think
ing about her.

WORDS FROM
THE LIPS OF
WISE MEN

w on cannot dream yourself
into a character-you must
u hammer and forge yourself
Men are satirical more from
vanity than from malice.
Every one speaks well of his
heart. but no one dares to do so
OF his head.
Few people are wise enough to
prefer useful reproof to treacher-
Gus praise.
Rare as is true love, true
friendship is still rarer.
To most men experience is like
the stern lights Of a ship which
illumine only the track it has
passed.
The most subtle folly is pro-
duced by the most subtle wisdom.
Fretfulness of temper will gen.
orally characterize those who are
negligent Of order.
The best way in the world to
seem to be anything is really to
be what we would seem to be.
1t is no small commentator
to manage a little we'll.
The saddest thing under the
sky is soul incapable of sadness.
Earnest men never think in
vain, though their thoughts may
be erroneous.
What one of us blanes in
another. each will find in his
own breast.
The public mind is educated
quickly by events-slowly by ar
guments.

wouldn't sound as well IL she
looked frumpish.
While her voice appeals to the
ear, it could not completely be
separated in the mind OF the lis
tener from herself. And If a
woman has done nothing toward
making the most of what charm
she may have and I believe
every woman has charm!-her
carelessness, 1t seems to me,
would be sure to weaken the good
impression her voice might create
by offending the sight.
No one respects or completely
overlooks dowdiness in woman.
And II a singer or a stenog.
finds that she may increase her
charm by judiciouC use Of beauty
inducers, even by temperate en-
ployment Of peroxide, / think
she not only Is justified but
clever.
The argument against this is
that most women overdo their
makeup. Tinted hair may be
beautiful. but bleached locks are
grotesque.
A busting OF rouge may ami.
mate a face. But a coating OF
red is hideous.
So I believe The brunette sing
err, whose hair doubtless was
turning gray and perhaps dull,

or mist" for missed, that is no
reason for deforming the printed
language by upsetting speliings
which have so long been familiar
to all educated persons that to
change them is to introduce need
less confusion and misunderstood.
ing. 1t is not good, nor even eco
nomical, to cut off everything
that may seem superfluous or not
strictly necessary when viewed
from some narrow and temporary
unitarian point Of view. Essen
tials may thus be unWittingly de.
StrOyed.
It may be said that after we get
accustomed to the new spelIings
we shall perceive nothing shock
ing or offensive about them.
Even If that be granted it does
not excuse the harm done to
etymology, which is part OF the
very soul Of composite language
like ours. There is no way 50
thorough for learning the Utmost
sense of words as that OF study
ing their origin, their derivation.
and the gradual variations of
meaning that they have under
gone. All of these things, are
more or less clearly recorded in
the spelling of a word. If a
change of spelling comes about
in the way in which new words
arise from time to time. no seri-
Gus harm may result, but 1t IL
different when a grist OF changes,
for which a demand has to be
worked up by propaganda, is fed
in a steady stream into the re-
forming mill.
AS to the argument that these
'Simplified spellings" will save
mental effort, / am sure thar
saving of mental effort Of Just
that kind would be boon. There
NAV be danger that IL we make
everything too smooth for the
young mind, the young mind will
fail to get the degree Of exercise
needed for its best development.
