F..DAT and Family BIRTH OF A LETTER, n - i The Way W" Csif to Take the Place iT tEiOlrf f?L .- The printers and language makers of the latter port of the sixteenth cen. tury began to recognize the fact that there was a sound In spoken English which wns without a representative in the shape of an alphabetical sign or character, as in tbe orst souna in me word "wet" Prior to that time it bad always been spelled as "vet." the v having tbe long sound of u or of two u's together. In order to convey an Idea of the new sound they began to spell such words as "wet" "weather." "web," etc, with two u's. and as tbe n of that date was a typical v the three words above look ed like this: "Wet" "weatber. "web." After awhile the typefounders recog nized the fact that tbe double a bad come to stay, so they joined tbe two n's together snd made the character now so well known n w. There are books in which three forms of tbe w are giv en. Tbe first Is an old double v (vvi; tbe next Is one In which tbe last stroke of tbe first v crosses the first stroke of the second, snd tbe third Is tbe com mon w we ue today. frog Egg Curiosities. Frogs' eggs are laid before they real ly become egge In tbe true sense of that word. They are always laid under water and when first deposited are cov ered with a . sort f envelope In tbe shape of a tain membrane. In this abape they are very email, but as soon ke they come in contact with tbe wa ter tby rapidly abeorb that element and In so doing go through a queer trmmfovmatlon,- The thin membrane containing tbe Uttle eeedllke egge as quickly cbsnged Into great lumps of a dear Jelly-tike substance, each section Jotted to tbe other, tbe whole forming a string from a few inches to severs I feet In length. On the Inside of each of these lumps of Jelly tbe eggs come to perfection and In dne course of time add their quota to the frog population of' the world. LONELIEST SPOT ON EARTH. Tristan d'Acunha Is a Tiny Oasis In a " WildsrnoM of WaUr. When Napoleon was sent to St Hel ena It was thought that the loneliest place on earth had been assigned to him as a prison. But St Helena Is 1,400 miles nearer a continent than Is Tristan d'Acunha. Many hundred of it miles of ocean lie between this Is land and Its nearest neighbor. Tristan, in short Is a tiny oasis in a boundless wilderness of waters, go from It In which direction you will. It is a rocky and cliff girt little Isle, with a solitary mountain 1,000 feet high rearing Itself from the midst let on this lonely speck of rock and earth there lives a community seem ingly happy In their Isolation from all the rest of the world. They are farm ers, cattle raisers and shepherds. In the valleys of the Island are fertile fields, where potatoes mainly are grown. The food of the people consists for tbe most part of beef, mutton, fowls, potatoes and fish. Tristan used formerly to produce many fruits and vegetables which can no longer be grown there. Tbe reason of this Is that tbe Island for a long time was overrun . by rats which es caped from a ship that anchored there and which the people have been un able. It is said, ever entirely to exter minate. Harper's Weekly. Luiiury en Shipboard. Sumptuously furnished vessels known centuries ago. Tbe ship that Ar chimedes designed for Hlero IU king of Syracuse, not only was wonderfully decorated the story of tbe Iliad was told in marquetry, but there were flow, er beds on the promenade deck, a gym- nasiuui, stBiuruuius wuu miw wu, t library, bathroom with hot and void water, stables and borwea, flsb ponds and many fair room paved with agate and pwiottt stone. And this vessel was designed as a carrier of wheat It was first named tbe Syrai-usan, but afterward tbe Alexandrian. Arcblme lus wrote a poem In Its 'honor, and Hlero, In gratitude and appreciation, sent lilin ' thousand measures of cheese and thoughtfully prepaid the expense. Moelilon gives a detailed de scription of 'this ship. Then there wus tbe Egyptian vessel, the joy of Ptolemy Pbllopator, . with galleries and prom enades, a temple of Venus with her statue, a drinking ball, belvederes, a grotto tbe xirieM of which were deco rated with .im-lous stones set In or nament" "-lt.
