Much Uncertainty Over
Correct Plural of "Bus"
"The Listener" discussing In the
Boston Transcript the plural of *U>uat"
says: The approved plural of "oinnl*
bus, of which word "bus" Is a contraction,
Is "omnibuses," and by some It Is
assumed that the same rule applies to
"bus," but It should he evident, In the
Listener's opinion, that another' rule
should apply In the case of tie contraction.
The donhllnaapf Ictus'* for
plurals or for the InAWntinn of other
parts of speech Is influenced by pro- '
nuuclation as well as by etymology
and In the case of the word "omnibus"
the uccent being on the llrst syllable,
there Is no occasion for doubling
the final "s" in the plural to prevent
a mispronunciation. But In the contraction
"bus" there Is distinctly occasion
for the doubling, for "buses," with
tho single "s' would naturally be pronounced
to rhyme with "abuses," or
"sluices." As It Is to be pronounced
"busses," It should he so spelled. The
fact that "buss" In tho singular may
mean a kiss, as well as a vehicle for
the transportation of pnssengerli^need
not Influence the case at all since In
the English language there are many
words which have dllToront meanings.

Hark, Harkl the Sci?nti*tl
Though one can imagine nothing of
less consequence than a popular ten- \
dency to exaggerate the duration of ;
the skylark's song, there is always ;
somebody at liberty for every little
plnprlcklng Job. One of South Shields,
England, being Intellectually hurt by
the assertion of unthinking persons
that skylarks often sang for half an
hour and sometimes for as long as an
hour, went to the outskirts of South
Shields and held a stop watch on
skylarks of the neighborhood. His
doing are recorded In Nature, the i
British scientific publication, which
brings the astounding news that this
breaker of bubbles, this destroyer of
Illusions actually held the stop watch
on 54P songs and found their average
duration to he 2.22 minutes. The
greatest duration of any single song
was nineteen minutes.?New York Sun.
Ant-Lion a Trapper
The ant-lion, as Its name suggests,
Is a ferocious Insect in the kingdom
of comparative-sized Insects. It Is tho
larvae of a flying insect common In
the United States. It derives its name |
from Its strong, cruel Jaws and the
equally strong pincers at the ends of
its front legs. When it is out feeding
it traps its victims by means of a
funnel-shaped hole which varies from
1 to 2 inches in diameter. Lying in ji
gallery leading off from the bottom
of the tunnel, the ant-lion "-extends Its
claws Into the base of the funnel nnd
waits. Ants nnd other Insects falling
or crawling down into the holes are
seized In the strong pincers of the ant
lion and dinner Is served forthwith.
Hereditary Weakne??e?
Many characters in man have proved
to be hereditary. Among the very Interesting
ones Is a tendency to excessive
feeding when the Injury that
causes the hemorrhage to start Is very
smalL In such Individuals the abnormal
condition, known as hemophilia,
Is due to a chemical chnnge In the
blood whVh prevents Its clotting. This
condition, which Is very rare In women,
can be transmit led by an apparently
normal woman to approximately
one-half of her sons. Tills type of
Inheritance Is well known nmong the
lower animals which are uuod In laboratory
experiments.
