COPIOUS ENGLISH LANGUAGE
No Other Modern Tongue Enjoys Sc
Extensive a Vocabulary as
Ours
No other modern language has so
copious a vocabulary as English
says a writer The reason lies in the
fact that it has an Anglo Saxon basis
on which has been rai ed Sn immense
superstructure of the Romance ele
ment drawn from Norman French and
pure Latin sources English has re
tained dug out from the coliseum of
Latinity the following words which
do not exist in Italian the language
which must nearly approaches Latin
of all the Romance tongues Inquis
itive perfunctory extent despair
performance desultory despond
enc3 interference hideous state
ment attendance achievement
Many of them are also lacking in
French When one examines lists of
English words often only one or two
of them are to be iounu in foreign
languages Of labor travail toil
and work only the first two will be
found in French and Italian of
large great big grand huge
Italian has only grande neither
French nor Italian has a word for
tall heaven deep shallow huge
tough bid tell earn sore hurt
average home fit bare kind and
a host of others
They express these meanings by
using other and often much worked
words in a new sense They derive
this faculty from the Latin which pos
sesses it in a high degree An obser
vant American professor Gonzalez
Lodge of Columbia university pointed
out some years ago that the total
vocabluary of Caesar Cicero and Vir
is only 4683 words This of
course means the use of the same
word over and over again to express
different meanings and doubtless ex
plains the great prevalence of the
in the Latin tongues It
is a mistake to suppose that a small
vocabulary connotes greater ease in
studying a language all the ramifica
tions of variety in use have to be fol
lowed and acquired
On the other hand great wealth
in a language demands higher select
ive powers The failure to select the
correct word is in itself a form of
slang as when an American calls
something amusing great or an Eng
lishman dubs decent that which has
the advantage of his approval when
a dozen other words would better ex
press the meaning

Philadelphia Girl Vegetarian All
Her Life
Mies Ora Kres3 Is Not Interested In
the Boycott on the Meat Trust
She Bars Feathers on
Her Hats
Philadelphia Pa There Is one
young Woman in this city who Is not
at all concerned about the outcome
of the anti meat crusade or the beef
trust Investigation and that Is Miss
Ora Kress a junior at the Womans
Medical college Miss Kress is a vege
tarian not one who adopts it as a
fad but one who has never tasted
meat from the time of her birth 22
years ago
Her father Dr D H Kress super
intendent of the Seventh Day Advent
lst sanatorium at Washington D C
Is an ardent advocate of vegetarian
Ism and he has brought up his daugh
ter In accordance with his views
Miss Kress Is none the worse off
for her abstinence from meat Healthy
and robust with a clear complexion
a pleasant temperament and genial
disposition she Is the favorite of
friends and fellow students
Time and again her chums endeav
ored to tempt her with a sirloin well
done or a brown turkey drumstick
but she resisted the temptation
Do you know it often strikes me
so funny said Miss Kress with a
laugh to see people gorging the
carcass of some dead animal or fowl
down their throats It is repulsive to
me
Why kill living things for food
when the earth is so generous with
her bounty of healthful nourishing
food
Do you believe in vegetarianism be
cause it Is healthful or because it is
humane she was asked
Both she answered
Do you wear plumes or feathers
Oh no that would be inconsist

so constructed as to be able to digest
meat and fat she was questioned
Fat not meat was the answer
Butter Is fat too Then it must be
remembered that wheat and nuts con
tain a great deal of fat
The ancient Greeks who attained
the highest point in the development
of the human form and who gave so
much to the world that is beautiful
and artistic subsisted almost entire
ly upon vegetable food Flesh food
was a luxury to them and when they
ate meat abundantly they began to de
generate
Do you find your light food nour
ishing and satisfying she was
asked
Do I look as if I were underfed
she retorted- And then remember
that I work rather hard and need nu
tritious food
Oatmeal eggs butter milk bread
and ice cream are the principal ar
ticles of food in this remarkable young
womans diet Sometimes fruit and
candies relieve the monotony of her
course
You see we are not vegetarians in
the fullest sense of the word added
Miss Kress Extremists Insist upon
vegetable food only and place the ban
upon milk and eggs as well We
however use milk and eggs because
It does not require the killing of life
But fish of course is in the same
category with meat
Improved Cutting Blowpipe
The cutting blowpipe of which so
many surprising things have been re
ported has recently been improved in
France in a way to render it more
generally useful Two inflammable
gases must be employed One is re
quired to keep the metal at a high
temperature The other is oxygen to
concentrate action by oxidation along
the line of the cut For heating either
coal gas acetylene or hydrogen is
employed but as there is sometimes
difficulty in procuring a supply of
those gases the new blowpipe is ar
ranged to use instead of the ordinary
gasoline employed by motorists
Superstition of Chinese
The Chinese are a superstitious peo
ple and think it a bounden duty to
keep the body Intact and if by any
misfortune they are compelled to lose
a limb by amputation they invariably
ask for the severed member and keep
it in a box Sometimes they will actu
ally eat it thinking it only right that
that which has been taken from the
body should be returned to it On this
same principle an extracted tooth will
be carefully preserved or ground to
powder and swallowed in water

A CHINESE TITBIT
Eggs That Have Been Preserved For
a Century or More
Wben LI Hung Chung made bis tour
of tbe world his commissariat car
ried with It a supply of Chinese pre
served eggs for the venerable nmh
sadors special use Some of thes
eggs were exhibited In New Vin
while he was staying here and a li v
experts had the temerity to samnii
them They were not so bad alter
all was the verdict of one America d
connoisseur although by their
you would think they would come un
der the ban of the pun food law
The eggs were incased fn clay an
when unpacked looked like pieces
pumice stone They are preserved i
this way by the Chinese for a cen
fury or more and LI Ilung Chang ad
mined that the hen which laid the
eges for his morning meal might have
been decapitated anywhere from a
quarter to half a century before he
was born Tbe process of keeping is
very primitive but as effective as it Is
simple Tbe eggs are first boiled hard
and then while they are hot they are
wrapped in soft clay and packed
away
In this condition the Chinese claim
they will keep forever and not lose
their flavor or wholesomeness Indeed
they consider that age improves the
flavor Li Hung Changs commissarint
brought the eggs for his personal use
in bags packed in rice husks but as
the clay was hard there was not much
danger of breaking them When
opened the white was found to be
almost black and the yolks green
The flavor however was preserved
The Chinese chop these preserved
boiled eggs and decorate most of their
viands with them They also enter
largely into all their sauces
Duck eggs are also preserved by the
Chinese in a somewhat similar fashion
There Is a considerable trade in duck
eggs of the Peking and Muscovy
breeds and many Chinese in this coun
try import them from China in the
preserved condition The duck eggs
are boiled and preserved in a paste of
charcoal instead of clay Harpers

MOTOR BOATS IN VENICE
Romantic Canals Are No Longer
Monopolized by the Old-
Titne Gondola
The romantic canals of Venice are
no longer monopolized by the old time
gondola or even the steam or gaso
line launches for the American motor
boat has invaded those historic wa
ters
The first motor boats on the canals
were those ordered by wealthy Vene
tians and foreigners desirous of
greater speed and comfort than was
attainable by the gondolas Then the
city of Venice which entertains some
notions touching municipal owner
ship took a hand In the matter and
established a transportation system of
its own whereupon was to be seen
the novel sight of American motor
boats chugging along the canals
The fare on the municipal boats is
low about 2 cents
One great advantage which the
motor boat is said to possess over the
steam and gasoline launches is that It
does not kick up the waves against
the houses as do those higher built
craft It follows then that the little
American motor boat is permitted to
proceed where It listeth not only up
and down the Grand canal as well as
on the smaller waterways that vein
the city but Is allowed to navigate the
narrowest of other waterways where
the heavily churning craft are pro
hibited
There are those who contend that
the historic gondola is doomed before
the advance of the less beautiful but
more practical motor boats and that
it will not be so long ere Instead of
the song of the gondolier there will
be heard the whistle or the horn of
the modern craft
