English of Future to Mix Cockney and Scotch Loudon.?English as It will be *|ioken 5()0 years from now will not have much in common with the pres out-day abuses of the language, accord ing to Daniel Jones, professor of pho netics at the University- of Lon ?Jon. lu the far-away future genera tion Scotchmen will talk like English men, while the general tongue 6t the ?ighly cultured people will be "super cockney, with a little Scotch accent." Professor Jones' idea Is that the lan* guage of today was cockney to Shake Hj-eare, and that the speech of south ern Englund now Is getting nearer to th? cockney. In some places the cockney has al ready the upper hand, and there Is a decided trend In others to adopt the accent In words which contain the let ter \'a." The wide difference in the dialect of the English provinces accel erates this tendency, the professor as the various dialects weaken the common language and destroy its rvoi after a few y^ars. Within 500 years. Professor Jones predicts, the Gaelic language will have nearly disappeared and Ae native Wish (Krse) will be heard no more." Of this group of languages only Welsh *111 remain. ' The best example the lecturer knows of the English of the future Is to take the word cart and pronounce It "carr-r-t." ? Yank Teachers Dispute Methods With French fr'arls.?The psychology of asking Khool children questions Is a point on which American teachers take Issue ?lth most French Instructors.

The question Is put fully, :hen some pupil Is asked to answer it. '"The difference is," said a. recent Visitor to Paris lycees, "that In the fcVeneh school the whole class knows instantly that Jeaiv Is tbo one to an vwrr nnd the rest have no need to do ??ny hsrd thinking.

American Girl? Easily Beet Dancer? in World v j "The American girl make* the best dancer in the world, bar none." Thai is the sweeping statement I made by MIsk Pawn Gray of New York, herself a dancer, who has Just completed a "round-the-world" trip, during which she studied dancing In various cities, according to ihe New York World. "N'exr jo the American girl eomes I the English girl for all-around diyic Ing," continued Miss Gray. "I danced , In Ivondon, In Paris at Monte Carlo and at Deauvllle. and, strangely enough, there was more real competi tion In London than at any other place. In Berlin ibe girls are a little too stiff for graceful dancing. "You'd Imagine that the French girls would be the inpst graceful and accomplished iu showing off their dresses, wouldn't you? Well, while I was there a competition was held to decide the best manikin in Paris, and was won by an American girl." Miss Gray visited Honolulu on her trip, and while there danced Hawaiian 1 dances in competition with real Ha waiian^. "I won all three of the contests In L which 1 took part," she concluded, "so that alone would tend to bear out my contention that the American girl Is the best dancer fn the world, now wouldn't it?" Identifying Pictures French Chemists have perfected new methods of identifying pictures, ac cording to the American Chemical so ciety. They use groups of red, blue, green or white light to light the pic ture, ami they examine the suspected canvas with the spectrometer. This puts in relief the retouchings, scrap ings and changed signatures which constitute a false picture. By em ploying the ultra-violet ray they make the &lnc white and certain varnishes stand out by fluorescence. By scrap ing off small amounts of paint they have made spectrograph 1c analysis and have been able io determine, for example, In a false Renoir, the pres ence of a cadmium yellow*, when Renoir only used chrome yellow.

"Who said that?" demanded the speaker angrily. There was a sudden silence.

The reply was altogether too much for Mr. Aaqulth. and he had to Join ta the general roar of laughter.?Boston Transcript.

In the Indiana Magazine of History, Ge<>\;gc NV. Purcell, of the Vincenne* Western Sun, the oldest paper in Indiana, tells of those beginnings. John Bradford, a Virginian, was encouraged by the offer of a town lot in Lexington, Ky., to establish a newspaper there in 1786, Bradford procured u press and outfit at Phil adelphia, got it to Lexington, and issued his initial number of tho Kentucky Gazette, on April 1, 1787, It had no headline of any kind, car ried one advertisement, along with two short original articles, and of fered thus apology ' to its patrons: "My customers will excuse this, my first publication, as I am much hur ried to get an impression by the time appointed. A great part of tho types fell into pi in the carriage of them from Limestone (Maysville) to this office, and my partner (his brother, Fielder) which is the only assistant- I havei through an indis position of tho body has been in capable of rendering the smallest assistance for 10 days past." This issue of the Gazette was the first ?paper printed west of the Allegheny mountains. Members of the Bradford , family were connected with the three first papers in Kentucky, and printers trained under them moved on into Missouri and Indiana. Elihu Stout, the first editor at Vincennes, came from the Bradford*, and in 1804, started tho Indiana Gazette there. His outfit was conveyed by three packborses from Frankfort, Ky., to the falls of the Ohio and then for warded by lifeboat down the Ohio and up the Wabash to Vincenness Subsequent supplies of paper were brought overland from Kentucky by packhorse. His- paper's issue ap ^poSred July 31, 1804, and ir-contin ued until the spring of 1806, when the plant was destroyed by fire. Stout got another printing outfit, and on July 4, 1807, put out" the Western Sun, and it Is still publish ed, there being no break during the period of 118 years. A complete ear lier file is in the possession of the state library. Copies of the original Gazette are exceedingly rare. A par tial file is in possession of the Lib rary of Congress, and the state library has a photostatic copy. Ohio had two or three papers that antedated the first one in Indiana, though there is some confusion of statements as to their beginnings, and identities. The Sentinel of the Northwest Territory, which appeared at Marietta in 1793, was probably tho first i>?i*r north of the Ohio river. The first publication in Illinois was the Illinois Herald, which appeared at Kaskaskia, in 1814. Ferryman la Drowned Lancaster, March 27.-?W.
