The Seven Seas

"The seven seas" is fgurative
phrase denoting all the seas or oceans
of the world. The common eXplana-
ton Is that the seven seas are the
Arctic. Antarctic. North and South
Pacific. North and South Atlantic and
Indian oceans.
But this explanation is purely lmag
mary and superficial. The tenn was
part Of the vernacular of many ma.
tons long before some Of these oceans
were known 10 the civilized world.
The seven seas are referred to in
the literature Of the early Hindus,
Persians, Romans and Hebrews. To
the Persians the seven seas were the
streams forming the Oxus river, and
the Hindus applied the name to
bodies Of water In the Punjab. Near
Venice In Italy were number Of
large salt water lagoOns which the
Romans called "septem maria,' which
Is Latin for seven seas.
The phrase 'the seven seas" was
popularlzed in modern times by Rud-
yard KiplIng. who used II as the
title Of volume of poems published
in 1896. Exchange.

WATER REDUCES
BACTERIA COUNT
Investigators Show How the
Moisture in Paris Sub
way Cut Down Germs.

n m DISTURB decreases the num-
WI Der OF bacteria in the air
4 i enormously. French scien-
lists counting microbes in the air be-
fore and after a rainstorm in Paris
have found wide variations in the
totals.
In cubic meter Of air gathered up
near the Place Clichy Messrs. A. Sar-
tory and Marc Langlais found $500
germs on a wet day at p. m. and
10000 at the same time on dry day.
Similarly in the Paris subway after
the tracks had been sprinkled thor
oughly only 4lO bacteria were found
to the cubic meter while two hours
later, when the tracks were dry. the
Investigators discovered $4,000.
Taking advantage OF such findings,
officials of many communities are ad.
yocating more generous sprinkling
and in many instances have applied
calcium chloride to road surfaces TO
lay the dust. That chemical, which
in itself has high germicidal value,
absorbs moisture as well as killing
germs.

big races.
Men. women and children trample
over the fields before the start OF the
fliers. tearing up the turf and earth
so that 1t may become quite dusty.
When the pilots are ready TO take

hind the ropes. the aviators may find
the field covered with fine dust.
AS the plane starts down the run
way. the propeller whirring, great
clouds of dust arise, getting into the
eyes Of airmen and spectators alike,
and creating a dangerous situation.
To reduce that danger so far as
may be humanity possible. officials Of
the South Boston Airport are using
calcium chloride, a chemical that be-
cause Of its affinity for moisture acts
as a perfect dust layer. much in the
same manner OF a moist blanket over
the field
Since that action was taken some
months ago the officials have breathed
easier-in every sense OF that express
sion-and have made 1t possible for
spectators 10 observe takeoffs without
peril TO themselves or TO the fiers.

Held dead" Language
Had Peculiar Charm

Children Of the Hittite race waO
went to school in Asia Minor about
1000 B. C. had TO learn dead languages
just as the modern schOoIboy learns
Latin. Baked clay tablets found In
the capital city of the ancient Hittite
empire have been deciphered by
scholars who say that eight languages
are represented on them, written in
the neat, wedge-shaped characters
known as cuneiform writing.
The Sumerian language was then
long dead, but the Hittites learned IL
and taught 1t 10 their children because
they believed that charms sung in the
old language were peculiarly effective.
In some Of the tablets the Sumerian
text is followed by columns contain
Ing the same text translated into Of
fetal Hittite language and into Baby
lonian and also a column pronouncing
the Sumerian words. Babylonian was
apparently the language OF diplomacy
among the Hittites.
Several thousand tablets were dis
covered in palace and a temple used
as a record Office by German archeolo-
gists some years ago, but early at
tempts at reading them we're hampered
because the different languages were
not sorted out Writers Of long records
on the baked tablets were careful TO
indicate the sequence from one tablet
to the next, and usually at the end
of the document the author wrote his
name, his profession and place Of resi-
dence, in modern acknowledging
