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.
"Jean." says the French teacher In
?iiost schools, "stand up!"
Then the question in asked.
In American schools the process Is
reversed. 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.
"In the American school, every one
n the class Is compelled to search his
wit* for an answer, because he or she
may < nlled upon to rise. In that
>v?y tin* whole class answers the ques
'?ion, or tr1e? to. although only one re

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.
When Asqtrith Laughed
Mr. Asquit-h was addressing a politi
cal meeting one day when someone In
the audience made a very personal re
murk concerning Mrs. AsQuIth.
"Who said that?" demanded the
speaker angrily.
There was a sudden silence. Then
a man in the rear stood tip and point
ing to a farmer wearing a dilapidated
straw hat, shouted: "It was him wi'
the coo's breakfast on his head."
The reply was altogether too much
for Mr. Aaqulth. and he had to Join ta
the general roar of laughter.?Boston

Story of the First NeWHpupers in
"Thr
The flwst true torehfcearew in tho
wilderness beyond tho > Alloghenle;.
were the pioneer editors who, trans
porting their crude printing equip
ments to the frontier, assumed tho
task of supplying their fellow-pio
neers with the news of the world.
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. J. lly
man, night ferryman at the L and C
ferry, was d row nod in the Catawba
river just after midnight Friday
when, in stooping over the roar end
of the boat for a cup of water, he
lost his balance and fell into the river
Hoing unable to swim, he was car
ried down tho current and drowned
iu the sight of his seventeen-year-old
son, who was at tho opposite end of
the boat anchoring it for the night
and who was unable to render assist
ance on account of tho darknosa.
Tho alarm was given and search
ing parties commoner! to drag tho
river* The body was recovered to
day About 10 o'clock about 200 feet
below tho ?pot he fell. Mr. Hyman
was a highly r?mpectcd citisen ot'
Chester county, fifty year* old, ami
