And now along comes Italy with the claim that the city of Florence gave us the game originally, for they say that football was a favorite pastime there four centuries ago. They called the game "Giuoeo• del Calcia," and state that it was handed, clown to them' from the Romans ,and was thus introduced to this country. Other people though, think that foot- ball was introduced into Italy by Eng- lish trained hands fighting in Europe. Nevertheless, the city of Florence • played football 400 years ago, under the patronage of the Medici, rulers of Florence, and of three Popes who were themselves good players in their youth. A football match. was always a most important part of any public •festivity on great occasions. Much pomp and ceremonial attended the games. These. special state occasion snatches were ' usually played in the main city square with all the nobles and townsfolk pre- sent in gala attlre. Even the players ,donned festive garments, silk and satin doublets and hose, and a close skull cap --the forerunner of our crash helmet. • The square pitch was divided into two equal parts, with goalposts at each end. The ball was a round leather one like ours to -day. Though the game was a species of Soccer, goals were scored by kicking the ball over the crossbar, as in Rugger, and not be- tween the posts beneath. They went in for mass games, too, for the "teams numbered twenty-seven a side—fifteen forwards, nine half- backs, two full-backs, and a goalkeep- er. After each goal scored the teams changed sides, but they ,did it with more spectacle and ceremony than we do. In these games the leading side changed over with flags flying, and the losers with flags lowered. Another .rule which has a modern ring about it was that two penalties counted as a goal. Still more amusing is the descrip- tion of the game by awriter of that day, who called it "noble and courtly, and not tit for the populace!" Football figures in Italian history in the famous match during the siege of Florence, 400 years ago, when the young men of the city played a public game as a gesture of courage ,and de- fiance to the enemy.

A football, Plant Poisons Discovered To Be Deadly Insecticides; GENERAL GRAHAMI Loncion: The ancient art of mak- ing fish poisons from certain plants has been put to a new use in killing insect pests that destroy „crops, F. N. Howes, 'British botanist, writes in a recent bulletin of the Royal Botanical Gardens at Kew. Heretofore one of the main poisons for insects has been arsenic, which is administered in the form of spray solution. Many pests,, however, have developed an immunity and are able to swallow considerable quantities of arsenic without any ap- preciable harm, according to this authority, Investigators found that fish pois- ens made from plants were a 'highly effieient substitute. Dilutions of as low as one part in a million or more of water have been found to be fatal to insects on contact. Derris, an Indian group of plants, has been found to be extremely useful. The bulletin proposes to spray. plants with arsenic poison for a few seasons, and then to substitute the. plant poison in order to offset the immune strains that may evolve and, kill them. Most of the fish poisons that'have been found are of tropical origin, and one of the most promising is the South American cube, These, with derris, belong to the game fancily, relatives of clover. These plants can be grown as fertil- izer crops in rubber groves, thus ob- taining two paying crops front the same land and enriching the soil at the same time. Another ancient plant used as a fish poisin is mullein, 'which grows in America as well as Europe. Its s rank weed, and if it also proves to be efficient aa an insecticide its cultiva- tion should be easy. ♦t.

"It was pointed out by Sir Richard that, just as speech appeared to have developed from pantomimic gesture owing to au unconscious sympathy between the movement of the huniat Bands and body with those of the hu man mouth and tongue, so the de velopments of alphabets appeared to have been influenced by a corres ponding sympathy of movement be tween the human mouth and tongue and the human hand. "If the alphabets of different lite tions were examined it was found that in the letters standing for the sounds of P, 13, M, and. W, and also those for the vowel sound U—hi all of which sounds the two lips are more or less protruded and brought to- gether --the symbols are coninionly suggestive, either of a closed mouth, or of two lips closed or projected, or on the point of opening. Examples given from our own alphabet by Sir Richard were:— "A, which Naas orginally written lying on its side, suggests an open mouth facing right. "13 is the profile of two lips, point- ing towards the right. "E represents a media pointing to the right, with the tongue at mid - height, as in pronouncing the sound of e in men. "I is an elevated tongue, as in the sound of ea in eat. "L is another vertical tongue sign, "M represents two lips in profile, pointing upwards.. "0 is a front view of a rounded mouth. "T is a vertical tongue, touching the horizontal palate. "U and V are both pairs of protrud- ed lips. "W is a pair of lips, like M, but pointing down instead of up. "Every Ietter of our alphabet, ex .cept H and Q," said Sir Richard, "was closely related to the shape of mouth which produces 'it."—Public Opinion.
