The Aryan root "ak" meant "to be sharp," and the Idea of sharpness has followed It at least Uuoiigh 10.000 years Into all of the family of lan guages of that tongue. It is quite like ly that the property of sharpness was conceived of by these ancestors fro.u handling shells, the first kuives that man knew. That cutting edge was in ferred to by "ak" long before the most primitive people had learned to put an edge ou flint When these Aryans wanted to express the idea of sharp ness of mind they used the same word. 'l')s root went Into the tireek, where It berime "nkros," meaning pointed. In Sanskrit it Is "acre," meaning the same thing. In the Latin we find "acrliuunia," signifying sharpness, from which our "acrid" comes. The Latin also has "m-er," meaning sharp, and "acus," n needle. In the Anglo-Saxon It lniaine "cag," an edge. So the idea uf sharpness rum. all the way through, and we have It In our "acid," "acute." "cdj;e" and "ax" as well as In "acrid" and "acumen." Argonaut The Alexandrian Library. (unar. a fanatical caliph who over ran Kgypt about the middle of the sev enth century, proclaimed that, since the Koran contained everything that human beings ought to read, no other bonks had any right to exist, so he runtleimied to deHtructiou the immense library at Alexandria founded by the I'tolemles and coustantly enlarged by their successors until the advent of the Saracens. How enormous It was can be imagined from the fact that for six months the manuscripts supplied the fuel of 4.000 public baths. It was the most terrible blow ever indicted open literature.
