ASIA GREAT DANGER POINT

the Home of Plague and
Pestilence.
Asia is the home of plague and

the American Medical AsSociation, the •
diseases of Asia threaten,. the lives
and health of the AmeriCan populit-

With the unvarying persistence of bu-
bonic Plague in Asia, it seems lintels.
to Iny further stress on these points.
The obstacles in the iy:14; of stuveqs-
fully grappling with the plague prob-
lem in Asia are almost insurmount-
able. The natives object to whble,

hence the only effective mode of pre-

that the danger exists in Asia.

(Neatly Mlle* their origin In -the
Patter of Thieves. '
It is necessary that the language
ot a nation should be refreshed and
• strengthened uow and then by the in-
troduction of new worth and phrase',
and, as befits democracy, these spring
from the soil; not one of them de-
scends upon us from the Olympian
heights, observes the New York Her-
ald. Neither scientific nor .scholestie

dergraduate collegian le pitiful!), in-
ept nun meager.
For 'anything that can give a new
. zest to the. vulgate we must look to
the stage, the gambling house and eveii
to the opium den and thieves' resort.
Returning soldiers will certainly bring
with them much of the argot of field
and trench of which "cooties" Is a -
sample. The word "joint" as applied
• to'inIquitous and other resorts Comes
• from the joint of bamboo from which
an opium pipe lajztade. '!Dope" was

London, thieves' slang.
The cause of all this is °quite ap-
parent to the thinking mind. Persons
of -education and cultivation have a
voCabulary of their own. sufficiently
large and varied to enable thern to •ez-.•;-

yond its limits. Those who are lack-
ing in education sometimes coin words
in an emergency that prove so expres-

rency.
SUBSEA VESSELS AN OLD IDEA
Inventors Had Thoughts of Such Craft
Centuries Ago, as Ancient
Records Give Proof.
Not in • 1660, when Lord Verulatu
first made a vague allusion to the
subject, but in 1648, it seents, was
first mention made of the submarine;
and then at some considerable length
in a.rnemoli published at "The Brazen,
Serpetit, in. Panl'i
with this discovery cotnes anothert_
that the submarine, or "Ark for --Sub- •
marine Navigation," as the author,
John Wilkins, terms its had been tried
and found a practical possibility itt
the days of the civil wars. "Cornelous
Dreble had experimented with "the
contrivance," "here in England," arid
"found it feasible." There Is some-
thing captivatingly Elizabethan about
this John. Wilkins, "Chaplain to the
Prince Elector Palatine," and his far-
sighted consideration of the subma-
• rin.e as a war auxkliary. Londoners
became acquainted with him one
March evening recently, . as they
opened their Pall Mall Gazettes and -
• dipped into the, contents. "Cornelius
Dreble and his contrivance" arouse
a tantalizing curiosity.

The Fishing Worm.
William Brake is a little fellow liv-

worms, criekets and -spidtrs are
strange creations to him this year and
he , has not been fully able to deter-
