CLASH BETWEEN CHINESE
TROOPS AND BANDIT BAND
Anxiety Over Pie Foreign Captives Is
Heightened hy This Fart.
Anxiety over the foreign captives
held in the .Shantung hills hy the Chi
nese bandits was heightened today
when win'd reached Tientsin ol a clash

I oil three Chinese captives over a prec
ipice as a warning. The brigands re
peatedly have threatened to kill all
the prisoners if the troops are not

tain wish immunity and enrollment in

MANY MILES OF WORDS.
The Oxford Dictionary the Greatest in!
Any Language.
London, May 17.—Another portion
of the Oxford Dictionary, which is
being published in parts, has just
been completed. Although . the new
portion deals <>ny with wc?rds oegtn
ning with W as far as the word
Wash, no fewer than 2,559 words,
i lustrated hy 14.757 quotations, .o e
included in this section of what is,
beyond question, the greatest ftietion
ary in any language.
The first dictionary was L _ie m the
Chinese language, containing about ;
40,000 characters, mostly hierogly- j
pities, and was completed aboul 1100 |
B. (’. Os th2 dictionaries of tho Eng-J
lish bmguage. issued in England and '
America, Johnson’s "as published in
1755. the first, edition of Webster t> in
1828. Worcester’s 1860, and the Ceil
fury in 1891.
The Oxford Dictionary was planned >
in 1859. and yet so.enormous has hem j
th** labor required that on y nine out
if the complete ten volumes nave
been finished in nearly G 4 years. At
the outset the first editor calculated
that whim 100.000 quotations had been
col ected it would be possible to huikc
a beginning. But at tlie end oi’l
twenty years, after lists of words
had been made out tun! innumeraule
quotations classified, a new editor
estimated that a fuVther t<m years
would be necessary bel’ure the work
could he completed.
Thirty sub-editors gave the r as
dstance without payment, and more
than eight hundred readers in Eng- j
land, tlu* United States, and else-j
where helped to collect three and a■:
ha f million quotations from the,
works of more than 500 authors ! of j
all periods. ,
Yet even with this only
one volume could lie produc' d with n
the ten years that followed. The labor
which one word may occasion will
give soiip* idea of tH magnitude of
the task. That worpl may ltave a his- 1
torv of a * v ousand years, rrom the \
date ott which it first appears in an j
English book. It may hav?
ifs meaning two or three times, and j
ihe dictionary maker, in vor-der that j
his work sha”. be complete, wiR need !
pintations to show how v it has been j
used front the earliest days down tod
the present time. ’
In fact, one of the difficulties which j
those who began the Oxford Die-!
tionary could not foresee is the great j
growth of the modern vocabulary, j
\cw inventiro'- such ms aviat qn and |
wireless, not only cause new words to j
be coined but very often add a new j
meaning to a very old word also, as j
in the case of "wings" and “receiv- j
ing.”
Forty-three years ago it .>asj
thought that the complete Oxford j
Dictionary would comprise between
six and seven thousand nages. Actual-1
y the nine volumes published occupy ;
more thtin twice that space. The die-1
tionary extends to 14 581 pages and (
deals with 391.720 words, illustrated ,
by 1.704,318 quotations. Each page)
contains three e lumns, with an j
average of 112 lines- in each. These j
43.743 columns, if |daced end to end. |
would cover seven miles, and the i
4 899„216 lines of tpe would i eaen tor !
183 miles.
A comparison with some g cat j
foreign dictionaries shows that lhe|
Eng ish dictionary-maker- have oecn j
to the fore. The Dutch dictionary was j
begun in 1851, jind so far only the ;
equal to 6 000 pages of the Oxford j
Dictionary have been finished, .oie J
third of the work still remaining to
he done, The oreparatory work for |
the German dictionary was begun in I
1838, and one-sixth of the work is not |
yet finished. But that is speedy work i
as compared with the progress of the :
Italian dictionary. In ninety y’ears
only the letter P lias been reached,
and at this rate the last volume would
not be published until 2023.
