The visit of Crown Prince Hlrohito ff Japan furnished an occasion for calling attention to many sights un- known to the average tourist, but even Frenchmen w&ll acquainted with Paris offerings stared blankly when told that the Prince had actually touched the standard metric scale and kilo- gramme weight, which are kept In the Pavilion de Breteutl, near St. Cloud. These two objects, whose accuracy has been accepted since 1875 by all nations adopting the metric system, are constantly guarded In a ce<llar by guards appointed by an international commission. Tbe pavilion itself is situated In the midst of a woods on a raided pli.teau not approached by ordinary roads. None except the guards and occasional visitors of note or experts desiring to compare other scales are ever per- mitted to enter the almost sacred ter- ritory and then oaly for brief periods, as the cellar's ventilation is controlled by a special air purifying apparatus designed to prevent any substance get- ting In which might corrode the deli- cate objects. In order to maintain an equal ; temperature Ice Is actually brought from the highest attainable points on Swiss glaciers. The guards themselvee are reported to walk about In slippers to prevent the slightest vi- brations from disturbing the closely- guarded position of the weighing in- struments. Finds Singing Builds Up Health. If you want to be healthy sing as often as possible, is the advice of Prof. Frossard of the Scrbonne, which was reported to the French Academy of Science by his colleague. Prof. d'Ar- sonval, says a Paris despatch. Prof. Frossard has experimented with hundreds of cases of overexcita- i tion and sympathetic nerves, as well as gastric cases, and has found that when the patients keep in a cheerful mood, singing music of the gayest quality, the equiuibrium of the ner- ' vous system is restored within a few ! weeks and badly damaged appetites commence to reappear with full force. | The Academy recommended that ' special attention be given to singing classes In crowded districts where everything tends to break down the j nervous and digestive systems. Musicians in the Olympic, by means of wireless telephones, entertained the! Aquitania's passengers to banjo se-< lections while the ships were two hun-; ire<i and sixty miles apart. HIDDEN TREASURES OF OLD BUCCANEERS. Fabulous Wealth Discovered on Cocos Island in Southern Pacific Ocean. That very useful Island, where Du- mas' famous hero, Monte Cristo, found fabulous wealth, had Its position In the celebrated author's imagination. What would he have written had he known that the real thing was then in existence and within easy reach of these who liked to look for it? An Englishman, in the year of Du- mas' death, fllled his pcckets from one of the many hoards there. In tbe last seventy years, at least twenty-nine known expeditions have visited this treasure-strewn locality; and more than one have returned with retrieved richer. Pacific Phantoms. The island is to be Investigated again by a party made up, not of har- um-scarum treasure-seekers or ama- teur diggers, but of ex-British and United States naval officers, assisted by others with an intimate knowledge of mining. Hitherto operations have been on primitive lines, or, at the best, wth spades and explosives. This new party, with a substantial financial backing, proposes to make full use of up-to-date scientific and mining engi- neering appliances, and to provide for a long stay. Seme of the "dumps" which have so long defied discovery may be brought to light. Real Treasure Island is no barren, sterile epct. Early last century it had a solitary settler, and before that others. What became of them neither history nor tradition bints, but if ghosts haunt any spot it ought to be this romantic island. Wild pigs and Scats, dove.', and other native fauna are in abundance: and the shore wat- ers swarm with fish and sharks. They who, two centuries or so ago, set up their palisades and brushwood hut.-, dug wells and made use of the island for obtaining fresh stores ol water and food, were .like others who followed them, keen judges of a handy and comfortable rendezvous. Whether in tbe East or the West Indies, the northern Indian Ocean or the West Padfis. the Black Flag pirates had the knack of choosing a pleasing base for drink-ing and murder. Since these bold bad men of the seventeenth century hid their valu- ables and specie, down to as late as 1835, many millions' worth of treasure have been hidden for safety on Cocos Island. Among the principal hoards is that of pirate Bouita. This Spaniard, traditions say, hid Surnames and Their Origin ASQUITH. Variation* Hesketh. Racial Origin English. Source A given name. Here is a family name, widely known if not widely borne, which would be a good bit of a puzzle were it not possible to trace it back, step by step, through the centuries to a source in an old Anglo-Saxon given name. This latter Is- one of those which have entirely disappeared in the course of the development in nomem- clature which followed the Norman in- vasion and the language changes of more modern times* And it might be remarked here that the number of Anglo-Saxon given names which have disappeared completely is far greater thau those which are still In use to- day. In this case the name was "Hes- cuith." It probably suffered a loss in the period immediately following the Norman invasion. Nevertheless, the old names were retained to a certain extent anioug the subdued Anglo-Sax- ons probably the greatest number of them disappearing In the latter period of amalgamation than the earlier one of subjugation. But the name bad not entirely disappeared at the time family names began to form, and it is first traceable as "Hes<;uith's-son." Ease of pronunciation first caused the dropping of the ending and then the changes in spelling t~> the two modern forms. LINCOLN. Racial Origin English. Source A locality. The origin of the family name of Lincoln Is simple. It comes from the town of the same name In England. Like all surnames of the same classi- fication it was originally descriptive of the bearer's place of residence. In that period of the middle ages when population began to increase rapidly the supply of given names was over- taxed. The first result of this was the tendency among parents to give to their offspring new variations of given names, made up often by the addition of dimunitives added to the name or a single syllable of the name. Even this, however, was not enough, when communication between various com- munities became more common and men moved from place to place. It be- came quite usual to speak of this, that or the other Roger or John or Ivo by reference to the place from which he had come. Thus the name of Lincoln was originally preceded by "de." indi- cating "of Lincoln" or "from Lin- coln." The place name itself Is a relic of pre-Saxon days, being compound of "lin" and "coin." signifying In the ancient British tongue, a lake on a hill. The Welsh is "llyn." the Cornls-h "lyn" and the Gaelic "linne." over $5,000 000 of geld and silver In coinage, ingots, ^wel*, an:l plate, ob- tained from rifled merchantmen and looted towns. Yellow Jack claimed him suddenly ut Panama, and he, with hi:-: dying breath, dlvutgel tj his chief officers the nrhereabcuts of the ! "dump." Before t!;e vessel set sail,) bcth of them were killed in a drunken fray, and all knowledge of lae trea- sure was lest. Caches of Gold. Plans and documents indicating an- other great cache came into the pos- session of two English women, two years before the war. and their trea- sui'e hunt on the Ccccs lasted for seven weeks. The expeditiou dis- covered the well-defined recks which are supposed tu indicate the treaeure- cave's entrance; also the creek, the waterfai!, and several other marks cf Iccalicn, but unfortunately the face of the cliff ha* slid dcwn over the mouth of the cavern. There are thousands of tons of de- bris to be removed before the cache can be reached, but tne proposed ex- pedition of treasure-hunters has some- thing to go on with, the previous party having left enough evidence of the 6-He of their labors. The wealthiest of all the Cocos' hoard.? Is, undoubtedly, that of the Peruvian*' millions, hidden In 1855; and it is Interesting to note that as late c.- 1SL3 the Panama authorities heard that a United State* steamer had left the island with a large quan- tity of treasure-trove aboard. Later on, collectors' in the United States were finding that golden pieces of the early Peruvian Republic were net so very rare. Undoubtedly these coins came from the 1855 cache, or from the smaUed sum secreted on the Cocos ten years earlier by the defaulting heads of a revolutionary junta in Peru, two of whom met unknown deatLs on board their vessel, the third being killed at Valparaiso . Lost Landmarks. In 1855 the Peruvians, hard pressed by Chile's troops, sent the contents of the national till on board the U.S.A. barque Mary Dyer, lying in Cailoa Roads. Her hands, three nights later, while the mate was ashore owing to the skipper's sudden and strange death, slipped anchor, and escaped to sea before the forts could hold up the Teasel. When she was captured a few weeks later by a Peruvian warship, the na- tional riches had disappeared. Three of the crew escaped being hanged at the yard-arm two seamen, who pro- mised to reveal the cache, ami another, Thomson, who had been seriously un- well at the time and in his bunk. Subsequently, the two seamen, on try- Ing to prove that the treasure was hidden on one of the Galapogoe. were shot as liars. Thomson escaped at Panama, and at Colon found a kind Newfoundland- er, Keating, who smuggled him on board his vessel, bound for Kingston, Jamaica. There Thomson dleappear- ed for ever: but in 1863 and 1866 Keating visited the Cocos and lifted some of the treasure . These treasures of the Cocos are not mere myths. An Englishman In the early forties of last century enriched himself from a hoard there; two separate American expeditions, a na- tive of Lima, and Joseph Keating have done likewise. THE liElLTIiY BA\ IMS THE fKST CHOLERA INFANTUM Cholera infantum is one of the fatal ailments of childhood.

If they j are business men they are successful; j If they are workmen they get the fore- I man's job. They have the power of ! influencing people. The same is true of women. Some have the charm that makes men seek ' them cut; others are neglected. But; this is not luck. It is due tu a person- al gift vitality. Men and women of this sort are never weak, puny in- valids. They may not be big, but they are full of life and energy. The whole ' thing is a matter of good blood, good ; nerves and good health. Everyone ' would wish to be like this and the qualities that make for vitality and energy are purely a :u;Her of health.

Double Language is Costly to League. Obligatory us of two languages, French and English, in all its trans- acting, and the high cosi 01 living at the headquarters in Geneva are given by the special committee investigating the workings of tbe League of Na- tlc-na as an explanation of what has been considered in some quarters as the excessive ccst of the organization, says a despatch from Geneva. Swit- zerland. The expense of the last year. as already reported, waa about 14,150,- 000. "There can be no doubt." says the committee's report, "that. rigLtly or wrongly, the League of Nations has the reputation of costing too much." The report then goes on to explain how the complexity, diversity and novelty of the work undertaken neces- sarily cost heavily, particularly since it is in tiie hands of a comparatively young institution and lacks experi- ence. The dual language of the league re- quiring translation and duplicate pub- lication of all documents alone ac- counts for one-third of the entire ex- ' pecse. the report says. It then points out that the location of the headquar- ters in Geneva makes a good deal of the excessive outlay. "Since the main purpose of the Com- ' mission of Inquiry is to suggest every form of economy. " the report says, "it ; feels bound to point cut that, at the moment, Geneva is and so far as it is possible to foresee will remain a city In which the cost of living is com- pamtvely higher than in almost any other city in Europe and where the rate of exchange is. at the moment of ' writing, the most disadvantageous for the great majority of states members of the league." The report suggests that were the league headquarters in Brussels. FOJI- tainebleau. Turin or Yier.aa, or aiiucet anywhere else, an immediate economy would be effected that would be appre- ciated by all members of the league and particularly by those whose ex- change is depreciated.
