Then the earth will always turn the same face toward the solar luminary, just as the moon now always turns the same face toward us, and oneâ€"half of our planet will have sunshine all the year, while the other half is in total and permanent darkness. Happiiy for our convenience, the process is extremely slow, but all the same the fact is that the days are getting longer. The earth‘s power of rotation is growing weaker, and as a result its revolution on its axis is slowing up. Which means, of course, that the day is lengthening. This does not refer to hours of dayâ€" light increasing with the advancing year, but to days as timed by the reâ€" volution of the earth on its axis. Getting out of a rut.

Many with such temples are selfish, too, although that is not an absolute rule.

That is the statesman‘s temple, the author‘s temple, the temple of the "big man." â€" Orators and roted preachers have this temple. The character indicated is justness, gonerâ€" osity, kindness, and a great capacity for forgiveness. This, too, is the longâ€" life temple. Those with temples which owing to the shape of the skull and the growth of hair, look high and unduly narrow, are geniuses, with great inventive power, but of erratic temperament. This type of temple is noi usually a longâ€"life one. People with "bony‘" templesâ€"the cheek and frontal bones almost coverâ€" ing the temple spaceâ€"are stolid, nonâ€" imaginative, amtd slow in thought and action. To set against those defects, the above type of temples is the "morâ€" al" one. Although not so apparent, there is really as much difference between the temples of different persons as beâ€" tween their eyes, noses, or hands. Those with temples that show the vein clearly are sensitive, shy folk, but they have warm Rearts and most unselfish characters. They are loyal friends. Temples that are hollow, with a saucerâ€"like depression indicate gifts of scholarship, music, or painting. The characters of those with temples like these are very lovable and genmerous, but subject to viokent fits of passion. Temples that are "full," and with the hair about them short and wiry, inâ€" dieate leadership, courage, and allâ€" round ability. Womenr with such temples make the best of wives and mothers, but the men, strangely enough, do not make good husbands. Underwater Days Are Longer. The Temples‘ Test.

The temble G@QQf): & j The words "hilyer‘" and "hillman," therefore, were descriptive of occupaâ€" tions, which explains why these family names in their varied spellings are not within the old records in such forms as "Roger de Hillyer," "Ivo le Helier" and "Joha lo Hilman." With the other variations another method of devélopment is responsible for the modern names. This word "hill," or "hull" was also used figuraâ€" tively to denote & roof, and also for the verb "to roof." An abstract from an ancient document reads: "Whyt cley and red for to make crokkes (crocks) and other vessels and barned (burnt) tyyl (tile) to hele houses and churches." _ Again, Wickyffe, in the translation of one Bible passage, says: "The schip (ship) was hilid (hiller or covered) with wavis." The name of Hill, as well as Hull, is in the vast majority of cases a mere contraction of the old description phrase "at the hill" or "of the hill," used to designate persons who hapâ€" pened to dwell on or near such, emiâ€" nences. In the varied spellings of the late Norman days, the surname ocâ€" curs as "de la Hill," "de la Hull," "de la Helle" and "atte (at the) Helle." This is a most widespread group of family names, the one most frequently met with being Till, with probably Hillman, Hull and Hilyer next in orâ€" der. They are all of them English names, and ali trace back to an old Angloâ€"Saxon word which has come down to us almost unchanged, and is in as common use today as it was in the reign of Alfred the Great. The word is (just what you think it is) "hill." But ali of the family names in this group have not developed from this word in the same manner. Helier, Hillman, Helman, Heliman.

Surnames and Their Origin The existence of the family name in so many countries indicates it often developed from the given name, but where the given name first appeared is still a mystery. In those days there was no such name as Scotland, though in the Celtic tongue Ireland was known as "Scota." It was not untll the Middle Ages that, as the name of a country, it was transâ€" ferred to Scotland in common usage. But this does not explain everyâ€" thing. There:â€"are more ancient reâ€" cords in Italy, in France and in Gerâ€" many; as well as Angloâ€"Saxon Engâ€" land, which prove that "Scot," in one form or another, was rather wideâ€" spread as a given name, and not as a descriptive name. Latin inscriptions give us the form "Scotnus" and "Scoto," the latter apparently being a common name among the Tentonic Franks who lived in the northern part of Francée. The name was also comâ€" mon among the subjects of the Emâ€" peror Charlemagne and among other Teutonic races as "Scotardus," with syllable, it is to be noted, similar to Richard, Reynard, Leonard, etc., a distinctly Teutonic compound. It was also an Angloâ€"Saxon given name, as "Scota," and the placeâ€"name Scottowe is simply a development of the Angloâ€" Saxon "Scoteho" or "grave of Scota." 1 The obvious explanation, but one which is not entirely satisfactory, is that it was originally a name added to the given name in order to describe nationality. Undoubtedly this actually is the true origin of the name in a great many cases, for in the old Engâ€" lish records there are instances of such names as "Malcolm le Scot," which, of course, could have no other meaning. Here is a family name that is a good bit of a puzzle, both as to racial origin and source. | Many years ago it was introduced }into Australia, and, finding there none ; of the fatural enemies that preyed upâ€" on it in its own land, it has since inâ€" creased in numbers until it has become ‘a serious pest.

The chapel stands within the walls of the castle, but it is a freehold of the State and the State money canâ€" not be spent for these improvements. The question of the expense has been taken=up by the Knights of the Order of the Garter, for whose use the chapel originally was founded, and in order to distribute the burden the work will be spread over a period of four years. Already $125,000 has been collected, which will meet the expense of the first year‘s work. The repairs will consist of replacing the decayed maâ€" terial without much alteration, Famous Chapel Under Repair.
