Persia's ruler Is the "sháh," whlcr word entered the English language Ions ano by way of the Arabic and old French, arriving In the form of "check." "Chess" is really "checks," kings; and the cry of "Check!" means one's king Is In danger. Hence the verb and subatantlatlve "check" in all their EnRllsh meanings; "check," or "cheque," which was originally the counterfoil of a bill that served to "check" fraud; "checkered," from the aspect of the chessboard, and "exche qur," from the checkered pattern of the tablecloth on which the king's accounts were kept with counters. Of Arabic Derivation. "Zephyr" and "cipher" and "zero" are words that come to the English from the Arabic "slfr," which meant literally "empty." and so "nothing" and the figure that represents noth ing. 1 In medieval Itln this figure was called both "ciphra" and also "zephyruui," the latter probably from association with "sephyrus," or some thing even lUhter than air. Hence, through the Italian "zefiro," there Is the word "zero" as a doublet with "cipher." 'Read The News and Press.' -nr-rir rrmrtrfirktyn J.
