SPELLING. f
To tho old three R's .which wero
conaidorod- tho essentials In our
fathers' tlmo a fourth should havo
been addod, namely spelling. Barring
typographical errors, it is hardly con
sidered pollto to manglo nnd mutllato
the' English language Tho flimsy pre
text of simplified spelling may havo
"served at ono tlmo to excuse tho er
rors, but today thp reading world Is
demanding somo uniformity oven In
simplified spelling. It is all right to
simplify if you simplify according to
rule.
Chemistry Is a sub'joct in which ono
. would hardly expect to find simplified
or phonetic spelling popular. In a re
cent test given to junior engineers in
Industrial chomlstry In a neighboring
Institution, reagents, acids and gases
wero .spelled In every way but the
right way. Tho following aro a few
'examples of reformed spfclling found
among tho tost papers: "Hydrocar-
"bldesglvo the illurainoslty to coal
gas." 'Nitrogen Is a brownish gas
Injurious to holth." , As constituents
to coal gas are given "nathano,"
!'methylano' "math'nyno,? carbon
nitrates" and 'Imetholn." "Calcium
carbide is made . from jnoit-coal by de
structive distillation.", Other oxam-t
pies ofvgood spelling and arrangement
taidies Samples
aro: Calcium "carbltc,"' "bachtorla,"
puraflcs," "torpidity," "floculant,"
precipitate "preclpate," "soddllng , or
sogragatlon." Ono man said "precipi
tate" drags impure air particles to tho
bottom."
PROGRESS AND TrjE COMET.
As Halloy's comet rushes toward
tho plnno of tho earth's orbit at iho
rato of 1,000 milos u minute, tho ques
tion ns to just what will happon as it
dashes by and switches its tail across
tho face of our planet continues to
hold the public In awo. It Is to tho
credit of our age and of scionco that
no attempt Is being mado to take ad
vantage of popular Ignorance by sen
sational - .prognostication of danger.
When all that Is known about Ilallcy's
"comer IB nlftcd and -annlyzcd the
knowledgo 1b not sufllclont to disprove
absolutely that any danger Is Impend
ing, yot tho scientists aro mercifully
using what Icnowlodgo they Ifavo to
calm tho foars of tho timid rather
than to revel In powor by creating a
panic. Thoy toll us that whllo tho
comet's tnll will probably bo long
onough to reach us, yot It will prob
ably bo found to be a- gas bo thin that
wo will hardly bo ablo to obsorvo its
prosonco. Thoy do not emphasize tho
fact that of thoso things thoy havo
not absoluto knowledge. Wo aro given
to understand that whllo danger to the
earth or its inhabitants is in tho light
of scionco improbable it cannot bo
claimed to bo absolutely impossible.
Thus wo aro loft just onough excuse
for anxiety to keep us revorent
which is a good thing. Wo go nbput
our dally work oncournged, but not
cocksure. Wo walk upon a world that
tho doctors say enjoys good chances
for a long life, yot wo aro reminded
that Ilfo after all Is uncertain, and
tho doctors do not claim to know all.
Tho combined knowledgo and modesty
of tho scientists, nnd the combined
poiso and roverenco of .tho public,
prove that tho world bus mado prog
roBs slnco tho days when overy great
phonomonon of the heavens was feared
as a sign ;ot a calamity, and sonic-
times execrated ub If It wero tho work
of tho dovll. Wo look to the hoavonB
with somothlng like roveront awe, but
contlnuo calmly In our 'dally duties
with tho conviction that thoy after nil

WET 'WETTER, WETTEST.
Saurian Takes Geology from List of
Dry Studies.
Profossor Trovor Klncaid of tho
University of Washington has a pet
8alamandor. Salamanders aro sup
posed to lovo sitting In nlco, hot flres,
wagging their scaly tails, whllo the
warm, coBy flames curl .around. At
least, that's tho tradition, but this
particular salamander of Professor
Kincaido's avers that for roal comfort
a tank of running water can't be beat.
In fact, his craving for a submarine
snoozo' caused a great deal of excite
mont in zoology and geology labs yes
terday. s
Implicitly trusting tho honorablo
nature of tho artless saurian, Profes
sor KIncalde left tho ' cover off his
tank tho night before. But, seized
by one of thoso nameless impulses to
explore which prisoners sometimes
feel, our amphibian hero Issued" forth,
and found Himself amid piles of books,
whose dryness1 filled him with pre
historic torror.t Ho cared not to in
vestigate, but crawled and waddled
at top speed to tho next tank. Hero,
ensconced on top of Its drain pipe,
ho cried himself to sleep In woo too
deop for crocodllo tears.
Next morning Professor Kincnld
roturnlng, found a lake whero he had
loft a laboratory. In tho geology lab
bolow conditions wero cvon morojm
rlous nnd interesting. An excellent
opportunity was afforded for tho
study of oroBlon, watercourses and
precipitation at first hand. Saunter
ing upstairs nino steps at ' a time,
Professor Weaver entored tho zoology
lab just in Mom to boo his confrero
lifting tho bowildered saurian from
thou drain jIpq of tho brimming tank,.
"Wo shoufd not bo too harsh on our
llttlo amphibious friend," said Pro
fessor Kincald, in attempting to calm
tho agitated geologits; "perhaps ho
thought geology was getting to bo too
dry a subject!"
