Not one, in ten, it is claimed, of the 150 large ‘have it is usually an adaption from some neighboring lake or stream. The early explorers and settlers have left their racial mark. Hudson and Mohawk the trail of the Dutchman is pretty clear. The French influence in northern New York and Vermont and along the line of the Great lakes {Is familiar in many names. Mississippi has no “saints” fn its list, whereas across the river Louisiana, by nine parishes and many towns, rivers and lakes, perpetuates the religious tenets of its early fa- thers. Kentucky and Tennessee evi- dence the vocabulary of the hunter and trapper, Montana and Idaho that of the miner. All the region acquired from Mexico, particularly southern California, maintains in its place names the memory of its Spanish ex- plorers and settlers. There are rela- tively few Indian names on the Pa- cific coast, strange to say. North of the Spanish belt cupes and towns fre- quently reflecy the loyalty of early set- tlers to the older states of the Union; for example, Portland, Ore, which was named after Portland, Maine. The story is that two settlers to whom the task of selecting a name for the Oregon settlement fell were eastern- ers, and that they tossed a coin to de- termine whether the town should be called Boston or Portland. Nature’s Kindness to People of Green Isle Among other benefits of being an irishman there is to be listed, it is asserted, an ability to break one’s bones with relative impunity, as com- pared with Englishmen or persons of other races. : At a recent corouner’s inquest a. Camberwell, England, Dr. Reginald Larkin, a police surgeon familiar with accident cases, took occasion to report his experience that broken bones of the Irish heal more rapidly and strongly than similar fractures, the victims of which are English; thus justifying, perhaps, the [rishman’s tra- ditional preference for the shillalah. a plaything relatively harmless to his countryman. In all animals the repair of broken pones is the duty of millions of tiny living cells which accumulate at the iplace where the bone is broken and cement the severed ends together with stiff. cartilagelike tissue which then islowly hardens into bone by deposit ‘of compounds of 1ime.—Baltimore Sun. i "" Birdhouse in Prison Sing Sing prison has sc man) tamed birds that an imprisoned arch itect is now supervising the construc tion of a circular birdhouse of stucco and wood to care for 100 pets.

Ys love simply the result of ‘elee- trical attraction? Is the human body an electric battery and our life, ener- gy, and vitality dependent on how strong a current we create? A doctor has stirred up tremendous discussion by declaring that chemical activity in the cells of the human body produces electricity, that His electricity maintaing the life process, and that lack of it finally causes death. He believes the human current a great influence over all our a tions, including love, and thinks his may explain why certain people are atracted to one another, or vice versa. A famous electrical expert says: “We have never isolated this current. and the laws of electrophysiology are not well known, but we have many proofs that this current exists. The body produces electricity in a score of different ways. At every muscular contraction or irritation of a nervous center there are vibra tions that liberate thls mysterious power. : “The least movement of a muscle produces electricity. For every heart- beat there is a corresponding oscil- lation of the galvanometer needle.” Durability of Leather Shown by Recent Find . The durability of leather was proved by the discovery, in the course of ex- cavating for the foundations of the new Bank of England, of soles of Roman shoes, one of which bore clear- ly the impress of the official Roman eagle, The soles evidently were those of | the sandals worn by women and chil- dren. Bronze rivets were used to hold together two or three thicknesses of leather and no doubt accounted in part for the life obtained from the footwear, which must have been much greater in weight than present-day shoes. The old leather was in about the same state of preservation as might be expected of a modern shoe that had been on a rubbish heap for a couple of months. Although nowadays leather is pro- duced with more speed and less me- chanical erudity, the processes of pre- serving, toughening, and softening it are not materially different from those practiced by the Romans in England about 2,000 years ago.

Peculiar State of Mind “It may be a complex, a phobia, or a neurosis,” said the street-car rider, “but there’s just one thing on my mind when I take an open car. I usu ally sit on the back seat, or on an in- side end seat. In either place I have a good view at the slot which pro- tects the live wire in the street below. I've been tossing my ciga- rette butts at the slot, wondering if they'd ever go in. It’s really be come an obsession, since they never seem quite to make it. I'm meditating getting off and pushing one in some time. so I'll be able to get my mind on other matters while 1 ride”— New York Sun. Nation's Fur-Bearers ; Among the states producing the most fur-bearing animals it is prob- able that Louisiana ranks highest on account of its large muskrat catch. Martens appear most plentiful in Northwestern states. Minks are plen- tiful throughout the wooded areas of this country where trapping has not been carried on extensively. Blue foxes do not occur wild in the United States. Red foxes are common throughout the greater portion of this country, most of them being in the Northern wooded regions. Fishers are found almost exclusively in the Northern states where civilization has not disturbed their haunts.

Ord} narily you. pronounce the suffix ‘ough’ with a long ‘0’ sound.
