The tendency among English people to clip long wo ds into then ones or even into monosyllables is notorious. Thus "cabriolet" has become cab, "omnibus" bus aJid so on. But j the change 01' ''zoological" into zoo, j is, to any one who knows the origin of thu \Vord, the most exasj crating 1 of all, and yet we now meet with j zoo in well v.riltcn journals. There ia another variation, which comes simply from bad pronunciation, as when a cockney holiday maker tells you he has been to the "slogicai." If "zoological" is to undergo a shortening liie that which hat: befallen "omnibus" and "cabriolet." let it at least become zo. This would be correct as far as it went and would not be so excruciating as the detestable "zoo. — Note* and Qu cries I -fr It Isn't AN EASTMAN It Isn't A KODAK I work verv welL and which had L ,s,,, . ,. ., " • 1 fr.- \?/ xi, v«•'w ie■ si/'i/s i/s i/- i/^i ■ ■ 1/ \« •■\» '■ « '• 1/ ,/• i/,,i'--1/\i/si/st/si/ v*,' j. . 1 1 , i j. 1 , ASA -.-*\, i\/A\/A\/i\/A-„A\/A-. /A ., . .. i \, ,'A;/V\/?,/0 a/YEAR A S i tt 11 H 01: DI ii-: EXCELSIOR HOTEL, LILLOOET By George Hurley.
