Dr. 1;. \V. t Masterson, addressing the Y.eeyal tie c•t;laphiettl ;society, as tiertclt that then' was all acc1unula- tion of indisputable facts showing that there had been a considerable riser in the level of the Dead Sea in the nineteenth century --•a rise which had been, accompanied ---as he firmly believed—by a steadily increasing rainfall, Travellers had reported a curious "white line" which was visible at times running north and south down the centre of the sea, and many spe- culations wero made as to its cause, ono divinity professor even suggest- ing that it plight represent some ex- isting rift in the bottom of the sea. This line, said the speaker, was due to an elongated mass of compacted foam' which, on account of the dense and oily character of the Dead Sea, water, remained floating on the sur- face longer than such feels), would re- main on the ocean. fleeing east winds it was blown st : oily across the lake in a long irregular line. There was a1t10 a peculiar disturb- ance of the water. An American traveller had reported that on three successive nights, when no wind was stirring,heavy breaker a e vy bI e< kor came pounding upon the beach, followed by a succession of other waves for about an hour, Dr. Masterson re- ported a similar experience and at- tributed the wave disturbance to the, rapid change of temperature which sets in shortly after sunset. Ancient writers established a myth that the Dead Sea was an abode of death, that its shores were sterile. and that even birds flying over its waters were liable to fall dead. An these ideas are now known to be the reverse of the truth. It was true that the waters were so permeated with salt that no animal or vegetable io its life could flourish in thebulk s f volume, but near the shores, where streams of brackish water found their way into the sea, small fish, crabs and mosquito larvae were round, and he had seen fish in the sea. A bottle of water taken from the same spot immediately after- wards was proved to contain no less than 33,3 per cent. of solids. In one of the Jericho hotels, before the war, there was a declaration jointly sign- ed the same year by over a dozen tourists that they saw fish actively swimming at the same spot. At many spots along the shore there are oasis in which acres of reeds and many trees flourished, and at such spots animal life and bird life was abun- dant,—••English Mechanic. Bynner Bursts Bubble. Witter Bynner, a young American poet, has just confessed that he is the perpetrator of a literary ]coax that has fooled the critics for over two years and that has banished into ignominy many of the bearded pro- phets of verse in America. As "Em- manuel Morgan" he has been writ- ing the maddest of mad ultra -modern poetry, which has been published by reputable magazines and in book form, and has received the highest praise from persons distinguished in literary circles. The. new verse, how- ever, was only .intended as a satire on the Futurists, Vorticists, Cubists, Imagists and their company. Now that the cat is out of the bag, the illustrious followers of "Emmanuel Morgan" are looking for a place to hide. A little over two years ago, Bynner and his friend "Anne Knish" (no other than Arthur Davison Ficke) founded a new school which they called "Spectrics." Most of the effu- sions were written in a couple of afternoons, and were published in book form by.Kennerly under the ti- tle "Spectra." They won immediate acclaim. And no wonder, for they included such gems as this: "Two cocktails round a. smile A grapefruit after grace, Flowers in an aisle Were your face. A strap in a street car, A sea -fan on the sand, A beer on a bar Were your hand." - Missed After All. Ah Irishman was coming down one of the bridges of the Liverpool land- ing stage on his way to the Birken- head boat. Over his shoulders hung a bag containing about a bushel of potatoes and in his hand he carried a stout stick. Being under full• sail, the momen- tum acquired in coming down the steep slope carried him nearly across the landing stage, when, seeing a boat about ten feet from it, he shook out another reef, made an astonish- ing spurt and jumped. Just as he reached the deck the potato bag shifted heavily to port and laid out a clerk who was smoking a cigar through a meerschaum holder, while the stick hit a rotund merchant in the waistband, shutting him up like a knife, and Pat himself assumed an involuntary devotional attitude. He was the first to recover his perpendicularity and, as he replaced the bag in its normal position, he complacently remarked: "Be me sows, that was a powerful jump, but I got the boat, bedad." "Got the boat!" shrieked the clerk, spitting out pieces of amber. "Why, you confounded idiot, this boat is corning in." And so she was. The Slacker's Load.

Then it came to mean, a fibrous material, obtained by deviling or tearing into fibers ref- use wonlien goods -- old stockings, rugs, dr'uggets, etc.; and the salve term was often applied to the ma- terial obtained from old cotton goods.- Later the word shoddy was usedindicate oInfet'lo t< a cloth of Inferior quality; made of or containing a large proportion of shoddy, and from that it has acquired its common or colloquial use as a term signifying inferiority, sham and pretense, Be- cause of this use o1 the terns, many persons have a wrong idea of what shoddy really is. An expert recently issued a statement on this subject, and his comments aro quite illum- inating. It 1 •whencotton ismixed g. s with wool that one does not get the required warmth from fabrie, he said, and wool shoddy, or, rather, re- worked wool, to avoid the term that has fallen into disrepute, is really an excellent and use'rul article. More- over, ho claimed that the industry of reclaiming and reworking.wooi ranks high as a conservation measure. The•sheep of the world afford only a small quantity of the wool that is needed annually; thus, if wool wore not reworked, there would not be nearly enough for all. Ninety per cent. of the reworked wool produced is said to be made of materials which were either all wool, in the beginning er wool from which any cotton con- tent was carefully and absolutely eliminated. The national association of wool fibre manufactures, in a statement relating to the conservation of wool by-products, says: "The material for the manufacture of reworked wool, or wool shoddy, is secured by the reclamation of the wool by-products of the woollen and worsted and the clothing industry. It includes the clippings and woollen rags from. every textile -manufactur- ing process. The industry gives value to household woollen rags. It takes the wornout garments, a worsted suit, for instance, thoroughly steri- lizes it, cleans it, and, subjecting it to the cleansing effect of acids, de- stroys the cotton and recovers the wool in the garments, returning it to the woollen mills in clean, work- able condition. The reworked wool industry recovers hundreds of mil- lions of pounds 01 material in this way, which would likewise be wasted." Some interesting statistics, collect- ed by this association, show that about 1,486,000,000 pounds (secur- ed weight) of wool are yielded an- nually by the world's sheep. As there is an average loss of some ,30 per cent. in the processes of manufac- ture, about 1,027,600,000 pounds of wool cloth are produced from this. As the number of people who need wool clothing that is, people who live outside of the tropice, is figured at 1,169,000,000, it is estimated that, if there were no reworking of wool and this amount were divided up equally, each one would be entitled to 34 ounces a year, or a 44 -inch square of lightweight material. When one thinks of all -wool serge suits and the gowns and suits of oth- er woollen fabrics worn by women, not to .mention the woollen garments to which men are accustomed, one realizes the need for not wasting worn wool, but of extracting all the good that is in the fabric by working it over, not once, but many times, as long as serviceable qualities re- main. Poor cloth, they say, is as often made of virgin wool as it is of re- worked wool. It is the judicious ad- mixture of the two that produces a successful fabric. Were wool not re- ` claimed, the price of a woollen gar- ment—that is, one made of virgin wool—would be prohibitive to most persons. Thus it will be seen that the term shoddy is not always a term of rg- proach indicating inferiority,. il♦C that, on the other hand, the Indus y of making wool shoddy, or reclaim- ing wool in order that it- may give the utmost in service, is indeed a valuable one, especially in these con- servation days, just so long as it is pure wool, with no trace of cotton in it, wool shoddy is desirable and an important feature of the manu- facture of sufiieient woollen gar- ments to clothe all who need them. The woman who buys intelligent- ly and thoughtfuly must not judge by a name that does not altogether please her, nor allow the judgment to be warped by mere runmors. It behooves her, in these days of the great crusade against waste—a cru- sade which every thinking man and woman will admit is a righteous one —to study well What she buys, whe- ther it be •food, clothes, household furnishings, or anything else, to buy What she needs and no more, in or- der that all may have their rightful share, to buy good materials and to use them to the utmost. If woollen garments, when too much worn for her usage, may be reworked and suf- ficient good material extracted from them to be used again in combina- tion with new wool, as has been prov- ed is possible, then why shouid she not give the stamp of her approval to that good work, by buying such fabrics and giving thein credit for all the satisfaction that she can get from them?

MARKUS .A Lesson In Derivation ,apropos of the Dutch Ship Seizure. In the romance of words or the picturesqueness of their origin few aro found more attractive than the word angary, which has copse to th'a. trent !n connection with the seizure of Dutch ships. When, to -day, one epeake of the "right of angary," er Lex angaria, or Jua angerla.u, or the "Droit d'angarie" of the french, one is simply employing it modified form of the Green work agetu'eitt, adapted. from the Pereittn, a1111, ill 11E; turn, obtained from a liabalontart expl•e:t- sion. It referred to the ulllee of Duh aggaros or royal courier, an ewe,. first established, al: far 1 c rc.,rct:; in the days of the Pemittet 'eerie; u tee Great, 550 years before the t°11, , lea era.

According to Xenopilo,t, tea.. r,' Hetet , have been couriers he'll in re•acii1u 5 at certain stages alo,ig the rout.:; of the empire. They travelled day and night, and in all weathere.

Under the Ro- man system., however, the ttupply oe ,horses and their ietaiete•uance wee made compulsory, and 1 he lemperoe alone had the power to grant, exeuip• tions from this duty- Thee object of these stern measures tray to prevent interruption of this vital service. In the course of tittle the were was applied to the system of employ- ing heavy transport vehicles on the cursus publicas and also to the ani- mals by which they were drawn, Hence the word angariare, originally derived from the system of employ- ing courier, came o signify the en- forced use of aniuhalc, ,)r things hi the service of the state, or •'cnntptll- sory service." A pah'ailei develop- ment of this latter meaning is seen in the French word corvee, or forced labor for the construction of high- ways, bridges, and the like. The idea. of payment or compensation was a later development. In mediaeval Latin, tho words ar garia and angariare came into use, while the English derivatives anga late and angariation,implied any se vice forcibly or unjustly demanded and, hence, oppression in general. I 1011(1al times angaria.mean service r e anytrou- blesome a e--tht.t is, lord or mien a v g or vexatious duty exacted b a lord of his tenante—they cue having boon supplied by Roman law, undo which the word was defined as com- pulsory service exacted either by government or by a "lord." Gradual- ly angary 'crept into international law, and . "right. of angary" was un- derstood to mean the seizure of. Pro- perty by belligerents under stress of necessity and having regard to du compensation. Belligerents, in fat could appropriate any property, whe ever found, in order to carry on wa or to prevent seizure by the. enemy for the same purpose. Many abuses crept in and have given rise to litig tion in the higher courts of various. countries. Consequently the Pea Convention or The Hague, in 159 tried to meet the need for regulating tights of angary, and adopted prov sions whereby railway plants, tele- graphs, telephones, "steamers an other ships," though belonging companies or private persons, may seized for military purposes, bm must be paid for loss or damage, 1- e, r - r= 11 0 y g lm, 1L n- o- r, s - Peace 9, e- d to be It Origin of Bread Unknown. The origin of wheat is lost in hoary antiquity. Even the original home of the cereal plants of which bread is being made is not known, all the researches and hypotheses notwithstanding. Where wheat, spelt, rye, barley, oats, buckwheat, etc., • first offered pian their grainy ears for food is an unsolved problem, But that originally bread was not roasted or baked, as .moderns prepare it, but eaten as dough or paste, may be inferred from its relation with the word "broth," both of these words being derived from the root .1breo- wan," "bru," t0 brew. In all proba- bility. it was originally the boiled coarse meal with nothing added to it but salt. The leavening and baking of the bread was a later development, The origin of these processes is a matter of speculation; but so much is certain; that baking preceded the leavening of the bread that causes it to rise; also that the original form of the bread was not the loaf, but a kind of thin, flat cake like the niat- zoths, or unleavened bread of the Jews, or the tortillas of the Mexi- cans. Like these, it was probably. roasted upon intensely heated flat stones. With the discovery of the leaven the flat cake increased in height until it assumed the form of our loaf. A Peculiar Plant. "Plants and " animals," says Science, "both have developed spines as a means of protection against their enemies, but it is rare indeed to find a plant with spines below ground. The all too conlni0n sawbrier of the Southern States and Mexico is one of the few plants thus provided. The stems above ground are spiny to keep off grazing animals, but the under- ground starchy tubers are armored densely with spines apparently de- veloped as a protection against pecca- ries—the wild pigs still found in the southwest. The sawbrier is now be- yond the original range of the wild pigs, but its underground armor conies -into use as a protection against the domesticated hog of the old world." Strange 'Words.
