Fine Distinction Made
Between Common Words

Loan" as a verb Is extensively used
in the United States. There is some
authority for such usage since 1t has
so appeared from time to time in lit
erature over the last four or five hun
dred years. Such usage, however, is
frowned upon by grammarians who in
sist that loan" is a noun only, says
the Literary Digest.
Dictionaries, which must be simply
recorders of the language as 1t is used,
recognize loan" as a verb, meaning
ito lend money, especially on inter-
est" and Doctor Vizetelly in his
Desk Book Of Errors In English" says ::
Loan, lend; one may raise (put an
end toy loan by paying both prin-
cipal and interest, and another may
lend money to do So The use Of
loan as a verb, meaning to grant the
loan Of or lend, as ships, money, linen,
provisions, etc. dates from the year
1900 and is accepted as good English.
Some purists, however, characterize 1t
colloquial." To some ears "lend' may
be preferable. but loan" is not lncor-
rect, and has the support Of Acts "a
and 35 of Henry VIII 1542), Langley
(1644), Fossenden (1729), Calhoun
(1S34), Brownson (1S47), Bonamy-
Price (1S00) the North American Re

Children

Some people without little children
seem to have complete lives, but they
are only a few. In these days, when
we are so keenly interested In the fu-
ture, in new forms of education, and In
the actual instincts of the species, 1t
seems as II children have more to add
to our lives even than formerly. No
parent who gets away with the Job
can be an egotlst, neurotic, narrow,
vain or weak. No parent with any
mind at all can help feeling close to
the springs of life, and In touch with
the cradle of the race. The same ex-
tended reality may be obtained by
teachers, or by others In helpful and
steady contact with the young, but the
person on whom the children make
none Of their confident demands, whom
they never consult about the rules of
life and the opening wonders OF ma
ture, is all too likely, as he grows old,
to lose the youthfulness that stays

Poetic Language

How then do we distinguish poetic
language? The fact is, think, that
there is no hard and fast distinction.
II has often been asserted that by
poetic language we mean the presence
of metre. Now, as we shall see, metre
is, beyond doubt, the kind of rhythm
most suitable as a rule for the pur-
poses of poetry. But metre is simply
one of the devices available to poetic
expression; and if 1t happens that
some other kind Of rhythm will do just
as well or better and if everything
else we require is there, it seems mere
ly arbitrary to withhold the title of
poetry. A definition of poetry would
surely look very foolish, If it would
exclude the English Versions of job
or the "Song of Songs. "-Lascelles

Spiders in Amazon
Big as Small Rat

A traveller who has recently returned
from an expedition into the forests of
the Amazon tells that he was much
more frightened by the huge spiders
he encountered than by the jaguars,
according to London Answers. There
is certainly something awe-lnspiring in
his description Of a species of Amazon
spiders as creatures with long legs,
fat, black bodies, about the size Of a
young rat, and the wlckedest, most
fiendish eyes imaginable
These spiders make trap doors" on
the ground, beautifully camoufaged,
and so perfectly balanced that they
shut by their own weight. Beneath
them are tunnels or pits in which the
huge spiders watch for their prey.
Another spider is spotted like a
leopard and spins web quite a yard
across. The strands of this huge web
suspended between two trees, are &c
strong and tough that If small bird
flies into them 1t is unable to escape
before the arrival Of the spider, which
makes short work of Its struggles.

To Withstand Cold

The tiny needles of evergreens have
a different appearance in winter and
are darker and more shriveled The
chlOrophyll granules have withdrawn
from the surface as far as possible,
and the water content is greatly re-
duced, says Nature Magazine Of Wash
ington. In this condition the alter
nate freezing and thawlng Of winter
days seem to do no harm, and the
leaves are ready in the spring to re-
sumo their work Of starch making. But
even evergreen needles do not live
long. They die and drop as new ones
come, and the average tree has its
needles replaced in from three to five
years. So gradual is this process, how
ever, that the tree always appears to
be well clothed.
