WORDS MADE BY MMALS
Many of Those! in Commott Use Cart
Be Traced to Domestic and
Wild Beasts.
Mohkey-trlcks, a combination used
nowadays to mean practical jokes, Is
quite now, but the prefix “monkey” is
very old.
The boatmen on our canals call a
small barge a monkey-barge, and the
mechanic calls the adjustable spanner
In his tool kit a monkey-wrench. The
step of a bus on which the conductor
stands is known as the monkey-board.
A bat-call Is a tin whistle, and a
cat’s paw the medium who does an¬
other’s dirty work. Catskins are the
flowers of the willow, and cat-lap is
weak tea.
Our friend the dog is rather badly
used. We speak of dog-rose, dog
briar, dog-wheat, dog-grass, dog-eared,
and each epithet implies inferiority.
The word “horse” is also used to
imply Inferiority, roughness, coarse¬
ness. A hoyse-laugh is a vulgar guf¬
faw ; a horse-chestnut is the poisonqus
acrid sort ns distinguished from the
sweet chestnut; while horse-play Is
rough play such as ’Arry and ’Arriet
Indulge in.
The commonest use of the prefix
“horse” is in connection with “power.”
It is commonly referred to as “h. p.,”
and is the universal unit of compari¬
son between steamships, motorcars, lo¬
comotives, etc.
The fox enters a good deal into com¬
mon speech. We call shamming
“foxing,” and a crafty man is “an
old fox,” but why a certain dance
should be called a fox-trot one cannot
say.
The fox suggests the hare, and that
timid animal also has its use in lan¬
guage as well as in soup. A man
who is as mad as a March hare is
said to be "hare-brained.” The hare¬
bell is one of our prettiest flowers, but
the possessiou of a hare-lip is gen¬
erally thought to be the result of the
interference of some malicious spirit
at birth.
Then we have the "calf-love” of the
very young man, and the “sheep’s
eyes” of the very coy maiden, the pig
iron of the forge, and the pig-tail of
the flapper.—London Tit-Bits.
Locust Plague of 1915.
A very severe locust plague that vis¬
ited Palestine and Syria in the spring
of 1915 proved a blessing in disguise
for the British armies. The locusts
ravaged the country from the borders
of Egypt to the Taurus mountains,
consuming every green tiling. Vege¬
tables and fruit disappeared as if by
magic.
The shortage of all kinds of fodder
was a most serious matter and great¬
ly operated against the movement of
the Turkish forces on the Egyptian
fronts. When the locusts were first
seen in Jerusalem, attention was
drawn to them by the sudden darken¬
ing of the bright sunshine. The de¬
struction wrought by the pests was
enormous, more especially as the Gar¬
den of Gethsemane was stripped.
The streets of Jerusalem were car¬
peted with masses of insects. When
anything. approached, says John W.
Whiting, United States vice consul at
Jerusalem, in the Wide World, it seem¬
ed as if the entire surface of the
ground moved, producing a most cu¬
rious effect on one’s vision, and caus¬
ing dizziness, which in some cases
was so severe as to produce a sen¬
sation not unlike seasickness. When
fall came the country was cropless,
even olive groves having been de¬
stroyed.
Most Efficient Light.
Fame and fortune await the scien¬
tist who discovers the secret of the
familiar firefly or lightning bug.. No
one has been able to tell how the little
insect produces the flashes of light we
see twinkling about us on dark nights.
Careful scientist tests have proven,
however, that this light is produced
with about one four hundredths part
of the energy which is expended in the
flame of a candle. Considering the
strength or rather feebleness of the
firefly this light is believed to be the
most*, efficient form of illumination
known today. If this method could be
understood and put to work it is cal¬
culated that the energy exerted hy a
boy in driving a bicycle would he suffi¬
cient to run a powerful dynamo or
light many miles of street lamps. The
light of the firefly is practically heat¬
less and It is believed among scien¬
tists that the future of the lighting
industry of the world depends upon
the discovery of a heatless light.—

"A. E."
Darrell Figgis in his book on “A.
E.,” (George Russell, the Irish writer
and mystic), explains the pen name
thus: "Wanting at one time a new
pen name, he subscribed himself as
Aeon. His penmanship not at all
times being the most legible, the print¬
er deciphered the first diphthong and
set a query for the rest; whereupon
the writer, in his proof sheets, stroked
out the query and stood by the diph¬
thong.” Since then, however, Mr.
Russell has abandoned the diphthong
and prints his pen name as two sep¬
arate letters.—St. John Ervine in the
North American Review.
Confidence.
What can defeat a strong man who
oelieves in himself and cannot he rid¬
iculed, talked down, or written down?
Self-reliance is the best capital Id
die world.
Self-depreciation is a crime.
If others can do such wonderful
:h!ngs, why can’t I?
He can who thinks he can.—Orison
Swett Harden.
