Peoria to Peiping. One man left u

long before the guest reaches home
and a postcard is sent him saying that
the lost is found and on the way. At
one hotel a man forgot his favorite
pipe. He had left no forwarding ad-
dress, but a letter arrived from him
asking that the pipe be forwarded to
San Francisco. By the time it ar
rived, he evidently had left as the
package was returned to sender. An
other note arrived, requesting the pipe
be sent to an address in Shanghai.
Again, arriving too late, the pipe came
back. A third letter came giving an
address in Australia. The hotel be-
gan to think that some one had a
long distance sense Of humor, but the
pipe never returned from Australia,
so they figure it found its owner.

A BOX THEATER FOR

you have some colored cheese cloth
this is better still. 1t can be glued

be moved at will and the scenery
changed with the play. Figure two

cided to be a painter, although he

Why Is 1t "Electrocate?"

Why Is 1t "Electrocdte?"
TINE longest scientific term is really
i linguistic shorthand.
This force of this statement becomes
at once manifest if we take as sim
pie word as "electrocute" and try
to tell in every day language what 1t
truly MEANS
'Electrocute" is composed of the
Greek "eletron" meaning amber" and
the Latin "secutus" meaning follow
ing"
Still we have the prefix electro"
from the fact that many of the phe-
nomena of what we know as electric
ity were originally observed in amber.
So, the word for amber has been sim
ply adopted and adapted in our Ian
guage.

to follow along after US. When we
