Smith's Falls, Feb. 16.--In pro- nouncing judgment in the case of Rex vs. The Lake Ontario Brewing Company Limited, of Portsmouth, here yesterday, Palico Magistrates B. E. Sparham and J. J. Kirkland, dis- missed the charge of selling-strong beer to the Rideau, Russell and Pal- liser hotels, which had been pre- ferred against the bréwery. Tests of 51 samples of beer taken from the three beer dispensing parlors showed that all but {two of the sam- ples contained well over four point four per cent. of alcohol but the magistrates decided that the beer was not above the legal limit when it left the brewery's plant at Ports- mouth, it having continued to fer- ment when stored' in the warm cel- lars of the three hotels. The case was originally tried here on February 6th before the two magistrates but they reserved their decisions. James Haverson, of To- ronto, appeared for the defence while Crown Attorney C, H, McKimm appeared for the Crown. A considerable amount of evidence was heard, much of it tending to show that 4.4 would increase rapidly if kept in a warm room. On Expert Evidence. The magistrates based their de- cision largely on the expert evidence of Dr. Leo Goodwin, of Queen's Uni- versity, and J. OC. Brown, a brewer of Villeyfield, Que. Dr.. Goodwin had experimented with the beer in various temperatures and was able to state that the process of fermen- tation did not necessarily cehse per- manently when the beer was remov- ed from the vats in the brewery. It the liquor were stored in a tempera-|\ ture of 50 degrees which was about the average temperature of the thrae hotel storerooms then fermentation would continue much beyond 4.4, he sald. Of the 61 samples of beer taken by Inspector Moss of the Provincial Police and analysed by Provincial analyst in Toronto all but two were over-strength, The percentage of alcohol ranged from ~ below 4 per cent. to nearly eight per cent. As these samples all came from one vat originally the magistrates pointed out that the variations ig their alco- holic content must be a nted for by the fact that the atmospheric tem- perature of the rooms in which the beer was stored after delivery to the local hotel men varied considerably and « consequently the beer in one hotel fermented more rapidly than that in another. Much local interest was aroused over this case. Over 200 spectators were present to hear judgment pro- d to-day. The fine for an of- fence of this kind is $5,000. Greek, this J meaning). é Origin of the Alphabet By M. R. Rowse, Bath. * The next letter (after D), EK, is from the Greek Epsilon, ("stript," that jis, of the aspirate sound 'h'), and this Greek letter comes, in its order, from the Hebrew letter The (meaning a lattice or window), by ellsion of the first letter h. In the letter . stands for the short sound of E, the long sound of it being taken by the letter Feta, which "comes from the "Hebrew Heth," by elision of the first letter, d by suffixing & at the end, (as In many of the other letters), the dull sound the being charged to the sharp sound t, (es in Beta and Delta, and also in Theta--as we shall see). The Hebrew name Neth means an enclo- sure or fence, to which its ancient form corresponded, and to which is similar the form of the Greek letter Eta, (that is, H.--Ilike our h)..The Hebrew letter "The," in its form, resembled closely a window (its Our next letter, ¥, has in the Greek, in this order, no letter cor- responding to it, but has in the Heb- rew, the letter Vav (denoting a peg or hook, to which #ts ancient form bears resemblance). It is the flat sound, of which f is the sharp, as for instance the German letter v, which is prohounced like f. This letter Van, with its "pointings™ (various kinds of points, put id or about the Heb- rew letters), often performed the of- fice of a vowel. In this conn on we may remember how the Latin U was often written V, The Hebrew letter Vav was sounded "00", when a vowel. I might mention that it was the Hebrew copula (meaning "and") although often it was simply a con- nective having no reference what- ever to sameness of time, as our "and" often does. Thus in the be- ginning verses of the mosts ancient Hebrew Books, where our English Version reads as though the "and" referred to sameness of time, the Hebrew signification referred to any indefinite extent of time, possibly even it might be, of millions of years, (between the works connected by the Hebrew copula). Our next letter @ (in its soft pro- nunciation, as if it were j), is in the same order as the Greek Zeta, which is in the same order as the Hebrew Zayin (meaning a '"'weapon," to which its ancient form bore a resém- blance), the Greek word Geta being formed as if it came from Zeth, (like the two following letters, Eta, from 4 Neth, and Theta from Zeth). In our 1 modern times, we have an instance of such a slight change in the pro- nunciation of a letter, in the soft sound of g iii the French language, as if it were "Zh; as the sound of the second, g in the word "garage." I might 'say, with regard to our F, that its sound is taken in the Greek, by the letter Phi, méar the close of the alphabet, ph having the same sound as f. So the Greek literature and language was indebted to the Hebrew for its alphabet. About three Select your Furs i il] L. Vv. Wood, Maberly, }| transferred to Verona to act as C.
