Italian:
Cipollo.
Spanish:
Cebolla.
French:
Ciboule.
Latin:
Cæpulla,
dim.
of
cæpa
(cf.
cive,
civot).
Now
how
did
this
pretty
little
alien
manage
to
settle
down
among
simple
Devon
folk?
What
has
been
the
relation
between
Italy
and--say
Appledore,
or
Plymouth?[1]
October
6.
In
London
once
more,
living
at
her
flat
and
using
her
furniture.
The
Chalcidoidea
The
Chalcidoidea
are
minute
winged
insects
that
parasitise
other
insects,
and
in
the
Memoirs
of
the
Queensland
Museum
(Vol.
I.,
1912)
you
shall
find
an
enormous
catalogue
of
them
by
a
person
named
Girault
who
writes
the
following
dedication:
"I
respectfully
dedicate
this
little
portion
of
work
to
science,
common
sense
or
true
knowledge.
I
am
convinced
that
human
welfare
is
so
dependent
upon
science
that
civilisation
would
not
endure
without
it,
and
that
what
is
meant
by
progress
would
be
impossible.
Also
I
am
convinced
that
the
great
majority
of
mankind
are
too
ignorant,
that
education
is
too
archaic
and
impractical
as
looked
at
from
the
standpoint
of
intrinsic
knowledge.
There
is
too
little
known
of
the
essential
unity
of
the
Universe
and
of
things
included,
for
instance,
man
himself.
Opinions
and
prejudices
rule
in
the
place
of
what
is
true...."
Part
II.
is
dedicated
to:
"The
genius
of
mankind,
especially
to
that
form
of
it
expressed
in
monistic
philosophy,
whose
conceived
perception
is
the
highest
attainment
reached
by
man."
I
can
only
echo
Whistler's
remark
one
day
as
he
stood
before
an
execrably
bad
drawing
"God
bless
my
soul"--uttered
slowly
and
thoughtfully
and
then
repeated.
