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
