TO TRACE LEGEND OF THE HOLY GRAIL

Uriversity Professor Plans Exhaustive Search.

Dr. A. C. L. Brown, professor of English at Northwestern univensity, will devote the six months from February to September, 1927, to collecting _evidence in support of his discoveries on the origin of the Grail, and to writing out his results. : “The legend of the Holy Grall is one of the mest interesting themes in literature,” explained Doctor Brown. “It appeared suddenly in Franee in the Twelfth century, took the world of letters by storm, and has continued to grow and presper in all European countries, The legend is best known In Tennyson’s ‘ldyils of the King’ and in Wagner’'s great opera, ‘Parsifal’ ‘although many English poets, like Hawker and Willilam Morris, have written about it. American poets have not escaped its charm. One thinks of Lowell, Richard Hovey, and our contemporary, Edwin Arlington Robinson. The vitality of the legend is astonishing. At this moment in most civilized countries, there are probably poets busy re-writing it. “The growth of this legend since its spectacular disclosure to the world has been studied in many books. Bspecially in French and German universities has attention been given to it. The history of the legend from its first appearance im literature is well known., But the guestion where the legend comes from, previous to its appearance in France 800 years ago, although often asked, has never beem answered. It ig this question of the remote origin of the Grafl story with which I shall be occupied. It is one of the great unsolved problems in Mterature. Its solution would throw light on the growth of European lterature and supply new facts for psychologists and students of the kistorieal development of human thought. “Most writers of the Grail have been chiefly familiar with recent versioms of the story, like those told by Wagner and Tennyson. In all these versioms, the Grail i 3 undeniably a Ohrisgtian legend. Most books, therefors, convey the idea that the Grall story was from the beginning fashioned by the chureh. On the other hand, an eld traditien tells us that the Grail was originally a heathen story and eame frem Celtic lands. It is my opinion that this tradition is correet amd that the hidden sources of the Grail will be found: in Ireland. ‘ “It is not generally known that a thousand years ago the Irish were the best story tellers in the world and that they possessed a literature which was superior to Hnglish and even vied with that of France. The Irish had a language of their own, rich in synonyms and pecullarly adapted o poetry. Nor do people realize that in the aneiemt libraries of Dublin are many beoks written in the old Irish and Gaelic language that have never been transiated. In these neglected books may e hidden the secret of the Grail. “One of the reasons why the problem of the Grail has remained so long unselved is that few scholars have ever had a sufficlently wide equipment of languages to be able to deal with it as a whole, Omne must know net only old French, old Emgligh, and old German—a good many adholars possess this equipment—but also eld Welsh and old Irigh.” ‘

Silk Stocking Ingratitude David Clark, the textile expert, sald at a dinner in Charlotte: - ! “Woman won't help the cotton grower in his extremity by wearing cofton stockings, and this is a plece of ingratitude towards a class of men to whom we owe much. ; " ®lngratitude!” An Englishman said te his children one day: % Yes, children, David Lloyd George saved his country in the dark days of the World war just as truly as Jean of Arc saved France.” i “‘Then, father,’ piped a little girl, ‘why didn’t they burn him to death?”

Ceineidence, of Course!

For three weeks the San Quentin (Calif.) penitentiary had received no prisoners from Los Angeles and the officials were puzszled. Then all was explained.

Exactly fourteen Los Angeles deputy officials had tickets for the California-Stanferd game that day at Berkeley. ‘

Tribe Named “Seneca” - by Dutch Colonists Seneca 1s not properly an Indian mßme. Jt became the designation of one of the Iroquoian Five Nations by & curiously roundabout way, accordlag to the explanation given in the “Handbook of American Indians,” publshed by the bureau of American ethThe five great tribes of the Iroquois were the Mohawks, the Onecidas, the Onondagas, the Cayugas and the Senecas. When the Tuscaroras were admitted to the confederation it became the Six Nnn-da-wa;o-no, “the great hill people,” and that was the uname of their oldest village, situated on a hill at the head of Lake Canandaigua. Their cousins and allies the Oneidas were “the people of the standing stone”—the Oneniute-o-ka or Oneni-ute-ron-non, and the name Oneida is simply an Anglicized simplification of the tribal name. : The Duteh settlers of New York first came to know the Five Nations through their nearer neighbors, the Meohegans. The Mohegans called the Oneidas the Skinnekens, a translation of “standing stone” inte the Mohegan tongue. But the Dutch, adopting the term, applied it to several tribes of western and central New York, to only one of which, the Oneida, was it properly applicable. Then ‘“‘the name Sinnekens beeame the tribal name of the Seneca by & process of elimination which excluded from the group and from the cemmotfation of the general name the nearer tribes das each, with its own proper native name, became known to the Europeans.” The other settlers followed the Dutch in employing the term, and: thus “the great hill people” had fastenad upon them the name of another tribe, in another tongue. And even this under the influence of the Roman name, became modified into Seneca.

- Much-Married Savage King Dr. Daniel Crawford. the famous missionary who recently died on the Conge, was for seven years the prisoner and friend of King Mushudi, a savage with 500 wives. : “Craword,” sald a Chicago missionary, “used to spin many a thrilling yarn about Mushudi, his human saerifices, his almost daily siaughter of a wife or two for proven infidelity. “For his wives were verv unfaithful, though their seclusion was terribly strict. Crawford would tell Mushudi sometimes to give the young wemen more liberty, and in return they would be truer to him, but Musbhudi would sneer and guete the proverbs of his race. “What proverbs they wera! 1 remember three or four. They run like this: : : “‘For whom does the biind man’s young wife adorn hel@elr?’ “‘n the kraal trust not your wife teo far or your friend too near. * ‘A woman who sits at the window is like a fig-tree planted on the highm""

Scotland Finally in Line

Here in America, where not only every county of every state but practically every hamlet, has telephone cennection, it is difficult to imagine in these days am entire county without telephones, However, such a situation has exjsted in Great Britain up to just a few weeks ago. A recent issue of the Telegraph and Telephone Journal of London states that the telephone has just penetrated the county of Sutherland, in northern Scotland, for the first time, exchanges having been established at Dernoch amd Golspie, and adds tha rather interesting information that “we belleve that telephone exchanges now exist in every county in England, Scetland and Wales.

Doors to Human Mind

There are seven doors to the human mind, according to Prof. Victor Alvin Ketcham, who is a specialist in expression at Ohio State university, his announcement having been made at a meeting of the advertising club in Boston recently. He listed the seven as follows: Visual, auditory, motor, facile, olfactory, gustatory and thermic. Orators can be rated according to their ability to open one or more of these doors, possession of all being an important power in developing the art of ‘making people see the facts the speaker is presenting.—Ohio State Journal.

Rotor Kites

- The Hfting ability of kites used for meteorological purposes has been improved by the addition of the Flett-ner-rotor-apparatus, which had previously been applied with success to increase the speed of ships at sea, and which had even displaced sails on an experiment ship. At the twenty-fifth anniversary of the founding of the aeronautical observatory at Lindenberg, Germany, Dr. Hugo Hergesell, its distinguished director, gave a public demonstration of the successful application of this new principle to kite flying.

Concrete Resembles Coral

“Gassing” concrete to give it added lightness is a novel idea recently developed in Sweden. While the concrete, a mixture of sand, gravel and eement, is still soft, gas is introduced into the mixture. This, says Popular Science Monthly, has the same effect on the conecrete as yeast has on bread, filling it with small holes. The concrete se produced is sald to be just as strong as the ordinary product, but much lighter, requiring less steel to support it. oo Factory Moves to Elkhart. ~ Good progress is being made by }‘the H. & A.
