The custom of celebrating Easter
is really an outgrowth of the Jewish
Passover. There is no .trace of
observance as a Christian festival in
the New Testament or in the writ-
ings of the Apostolic fathers. In
fact, neither Christ nor the Apostles
enjoined the keeping of this or any
other festival.
But as most of the early Chris-
| tians were derived from the Jewish |
“Are we undertaking in the preparation | church, many of the old Jewish fes-|
to produce a brand of | tivals continued to be observed by |
them and gradually passed into the
Christian calendar.
The name of Easter is derived
| from Baster, the Angle-Saxon god- |
dess of spring, and many customs
servance are drawn from
sources. In the ancient church the
celebration of Easter lasted eight
it was limited to three, later to two,
and finally to one.
The proper time for the observ-
ance of Easter has been the subject
of bitter controversy among various
crates, bishop of esus, and his
man date until 1923, so that only
during the last eight years has the
| entire Christian world observed
Easter simultaneously.
According to present usage Easter
cannot occur earlier than March 22
or later than April 25. The last time
it fell on March 22 was in 1818, after
which some three centuries must

This is also the origin, the

LEGAL SIZE TROUT

Spring distribution of brook trout
by the Fish Commission has been
started Oliver M. Deibler, Fish Com-
missioner, announced. While many of
the trout streams in the State were
included in the autumn stocking
program, other favorite trout waters
will be cared for prior to the open-
ing of the season on April 15. Trout
averaging seven to nine inches are
now being distributed.
High waters in the majority of
Pennsylvania's trout streams at the
present time insures proper forage
and protection, Commissioner Deib-
{ler said. The trout at the hatcheries
wintered well and are in ideal con-
dition for planting.
A period of from one to two weeks
is generally required for acclimation
of the fish when placed in wild
waters, and they rapidly assume the
brilliant coloring which marks the
brook trout as the most beautiful
fish of the inland waters.

Can Read 5 Miles Away
by Novel Searchlight
London.—There is news of the in-
rention of an entirely novel search-
light which throws a beam of light
go intense that a newspaper can be
read by it at night at a distance of
five miles,
The searchlight is the Invention oir
W. H. Pennow, and one of its wost
astonishing features is that it is able
to keep the lamp's rays in a narrow
pencil of light. The beam of ordinary
gearchlights diverge so much that even
when lamps of enormous candle pow-
er are used their ranges are compara-
tively short. The Pennow beam is
focused much more sharply; at a
mile it produces a spot of light only
twelve feet in diameter. The search-
light has been designed chiefly to help
aviators in night fiying, but it has
many other uses.
