For many years our school Geograph ies have Blven the mipposcd pronun ciation of the name Popocatepetl as tlie name of the famous volcano of Mexico has been spelled. Children have been tmiKlit that the last syllable was pronounced ns thoue'h It wero spelled "pel" and they have pronounced the whole name with the accent on the "eat." According to V, P. lloeolt & Co. of tho City of Mexico, who have writ ten to tho Board on Geographic Names, WashltiKton. In leference to the pro nunciation nf the name, the old usage encouraged by tho geographies Is in correct. The name consists ot two words. The first word, Popoca, Is accented on the second syllable po, The second word, tepetl, Is accepted on tho first .syllable and is pronounced as tunugh it were spelled "taypel." The pame of the volcano Is thus pronounced very dif ferently from the common usaire In this country.

UUUMXXKMXXXX1 O Military 8 Gossip- It is planned to devote a portion of the money whicli will be realized from tlie sale of tickets for tlie coming mili tary ball to the purchase of a complete and up-to-date equipment for the large and splendid room in the basement ot the new armory, which is intended to ba used as it gymnasium. While the room is not quite as large as Ulie pro posed gymnasium in the new Young Men's Christlnn association building, it is being planned to equip it just as thoroughly. Its use, of course, will be strictly limited to the members of the regiment, as will the use of all the other features which will make tlie basement of the new armory the most sought-after place In the whole build ing. These include the larg? swimming pool, ThxHO feet in size, which is now being constructed and which will be jeady for use as soon as the armory Is opened. In conjunction wlth this there will be a ssries of shower baths. The one hundred yard rifle range, run ning in a tunnel underneath the wliole length of the Ui 111 hall, will be an other attractive feature. Tt was origi nally intended to combine the rlllc range and the two bowling- alleys which are to lie constructed, but the latest plan is to erect the alleys In a separate frame building adjoining the armory on tlie .northerly side. This will probably be catried out, as It is not considered feasible to combine tlie tw o. Three of tlie companies of the regi ment.

Company I.'s school is conducted 'half an hour be fore nnd half an hour after drill and Is in charge of Captain William A. Raub. Instruction Is given in tlie manual and In guard duty and in Com panies D and I. is verbal. In Company F, Lieutenant Henshaw prepares it series ot questions for encli session and has every odleer give written an swers to them. This plan Is consid ered the best and will probably be adopted by the other companies. t Major W. S.

Attendance at drills is being rapidly enforced by the various company com manders on account of tho annual In spection, which begins on May I. It la felt that every etfort should be made to put the regiment back in Its od place at the head of the guard, where It stood for so many years, and Colonel Watres lius Instructed his captains to bend every energy to attain this result. All hope of conducting tlie Inspection in the new armory has now been prac llcully given up. 6000O0CO000O THEATRICAL. ooooooooooooooooo ATTRACTIONS TODAY.
