Tho last seven letters of our alphabet, like nearly all of tho others, were Inherited from the early Greek, which language originally had received them from the Phoenician, says an authority In the Chicago Tribune. The letter T was the final symbol In the Seraltle alphabet, hut its form in tho earliest inscriptions waa that of X. Ike Greek and Latin symbols for T approached more nearly the modern form of the letter than they did the Semitic form. In English the sound value of T Is an alveolar rather than a dental stop. In some cases T becomes a sibilant In English. as in the word motion. The letter T also may have the value of an unvoiced sound, as In the wonl thin. The next three letters of our alphabet U. V, and W, are Lnlin variants of oue Greek symlol. The letter Y Is another variant of this same symbol. The four letters were developed as a means of representing sounds In the Greek more accurately. Most Interesting, perhaps. Is the letter W, which is exactly what its name implies, double U. For hundreds of years tiie sound was represented hy UU, but In the English of tiie Ninth century this form was found to be unsatlsfacory as representing the consonant sound, and the distinct symbol V was developed. The ordinary W represents a voiced sound, but when nsed in conjunction with 11, as In when, It hat a tendency to become an unvoiced sound. The letter X, unlike most of the other alphaltet symbols, was derived from tbs western Greek. In the original Semitic alphabet the name for this letter was samekh. The flnnl letter of our alphabet, Z, has a history approximating exactly the other letters discussed here. The Greek form of Z wai a close copy of the Phoenician, but authorities are pnzzled by the Greek name for this symbol, seta. Sew eral explanations have been advanced. hut none of them have been accepted. This letter, too, has Interesting variations In Its sound value.

Evolution of Letter "E" of the English Alphabet I The fifth symbol In the English alphabet is In the same position as the corresponding symbols In the Phoenician and Greek alphabets and the other alphabets descending from the Phoenician. In the Semitic languages,. which had no vowel sounds, the IS symbol originally was an aspirate. In Ita earliest form the letter resembled our R turned backward, with the upilght stroke extending below the bottom of the eross strokes. In some of the earlier Greek alphabets the letter appeared almost as It does today, with the diflfereniw that the upright stroke wne prolonged1 above and below the crons strokes. In other early forme of the letter the cross strokes were diIn early agonal to the upright. Latin ths symbol sometimes was ia the form of two parallel perpendicular strokes of equal length. Both the long and short E sounds were represented by the symbol In the airly Greek and Latin alphabets. In Corinth and other cities under the symbol B was very similar to the letter B In the modern English alpha Inst. The Ionian Greeks, who bad lost the aspirate sound from E, were the first to nse the symbol H to represent the long B sound. Documents In Athens for the year 403 B. CL, when the Greek alphabet was adopted officially by the state, show the letter B written with an I after It to represent the sound now called the 'spurious diphthong." Chicago . .
