I ■ ' I Shakespeare Had to Wait for Recognition E hi reading a British review of William Sh.ikespenre'S life and works. I found many interesting statements, jaek Malone observes in the Chicago Dailv Ni ws. One of these depicted the “Baid of Avon” as having no rating whatever with the arbiters of literary ! elCP llen< e—Bacqn, Marlowe and Green. These critics ignored him utterly, refusing to publish any comments 'either pro or con, their studied st-’ 'lence attesting a desire to squelch an actor who presumed to Intrude upon their particular field—literature. This Intensely interesting and gripping article asserted that the above 'trio were considered the “cream of Elizabethan authors, with the power to make or break any upstart seeking to compete with them. So the “Immortal William” was suppressed, nnd 'daring the next TOO years remained a dim legend. Then came a plea for his rehabilitation among authors of 'Pope's time. Shakespeare “fans” became more and more numerous, his dramas and verses were collected nnd read, and the habit was formed. And finally, 240 years following his death, jShake»i>eure'. fame was secured .or all time! South Seat The Pacific ocean war formerly known as the South sea, due to the fact that Vasco Nunez de .Balboa, .Spanish governor of Darien, first saw it in 1513 when looking southward. He named It “el Met del Sut,” or the ‘Sea of the South.” Almost from the beginning, however, the English used the term In the plural form and applied ;i to all the waters of the southern hemisphere. In 1528, only 15 ’years utter Balboa first beheld the Pacific, a man named Thorne wrote to Henry VIII as follows: “Ventiil .they come to thee, South Seas of the 'lndies Occidental!.” In English literature “South Seas” refers especially to that part of the Pacific ocean south of the equator. "The South Sea istlands" is a general term designating the more remote and ibss civilized 1 islands in that region.—Exchange. i Flower Names The names of many flowers find their origin iq proper nouns. Back of them there are often biographies. The 'beautiful Japanese flower, wistaria, ;disi-overed by Nuttall, was not named after him, but in honor of one of his scientific friends, Casper Wistar, a professor of anatomy at the University of Pennsylvania. The gentian get" its name from the Illyrian king tdentins, who was the first to discover its properties. Quassia was named after Quassi, a negro slave in Surl<nat , Dutch Guiana, who used its bark as a remedy for fever.—Mentor ■Magazine. — \ New Test for Diamonds A method by which the quality of diamonds can be definitely determined and imitations detected has been discovered by M. Malaval, chemical head ;0f the police laboratory at Lyons, in collaboration with Professor Locard. i The stones are photographed under the light of ultra-violet rays filtered through a screen, sunlight being too dlftused for the purpose. Diamonds of the first water make i® brilliant image, while inferior stones .are merely shadows. Not What He Meant ‘‘Perkins,” thundered the farmer to ;his new assistant, “I told you to get an answer to that letter I Instructed , you to deliver!” “Weil, sir, they just wouldn't give one. I did the best I could.” ' "Dili the best, you could, eh? Well, I that was a pretty idiotic effort Lt I ’M known a fool was going I’d have gone myself 1” ,
