An Irishman from a very remote disâ€" trict was visiting the city and became much interested in the number of autoâ€" mobiles he saw in the neighborhood of the house at which he was staying. Any exercise to which we are not accustomed requires a speedy renewal of the oxygen in our blood, as the rapid movement of the muscles uses this up at an exceptionally high rate. The patient‘s symptoms are wire lassed, and if an operation must be performed, the liner is stopped and kept waiting until the surgeon has done all in his power for the preservaâ€" tion of life. This extra supply of oxygen is supâ€" plied to the lungs, and through them to the blood, mainly through the operaâ€" tion of the large breathing muscle called the diaphragm, which, though strong and broad, is rather delicate at certain points. The diaphragm is attached to the inner surfaces of each of the six lower ribs by fine gtrips of fibre, and the ribs themsolves are moved by muscles beâ€" twoen each of them. A ship‘s surgeon rarely gets through a voyage without having an operation of some kind to perform, and although wounds or broken limbs resulting from accidents supply most of his patients, serious operations, such as that for apperdicitis or trepanning, are not uncommon. There is a freemasonry of the sea which makes the services of a ship‘s surgeon the property of anyone who needs them. The captain of a liner that picks up a message from a vessel carrying no doctor and needing medical aid will call on his own surgeon to deal with the case. There is, of course, generally a hosâ€" pital, but it is often in the poop of the vessel. where the motion and vibraâ€" tion make any but a minor operation a risky, if not impossible, undertaking. In that case, if immediate treatment is imperative the surgeon must ecither operate in a cabinâ€"a difficult task, as it is possibly only to get at one side of a patient in a berthâ€"or have his operating theatre erected in a better position. OPERATIONS PERFORMâ€" ED IN MIDâ€"OCEAN. In the smaller and older boats, where there is probably no operating theatre, the ship‘s surgeon must use his wits and do the best he can to enâ€" sure the success of the operation with the equipment at his disposal. If a nurse is required, she can usualâ€" ly be found among the stewardesses, many of whom are fully trained nurses. Some steamship companies will accept only a fully trained nurse for the position of stewardess. By this means sufficient stability is secured in normal weather, and the most serious and delicate operations have been performed at sea with brilâ€" liant results. Working Under Difficulties When a very heavy sea is running the surgeon‘s task is more difficult, but If the case calls for immediate surgiâ€" cal treatment the commander of the vessel is informed, the engines are stopped, and the boat is turned and alâ€" lowed to drift before the wind until the operation is over, so that the movement is reduced to a minimum. THE WONDERS OF SURGERY ON A LINER The prospect of having to undergo an operation in midâ€"ocean is one which can nowadays be faced with no more trepidation than a simtlar ordeal on land. The big modern liner not only has its hospital and its two or three qualiâ€" fed surgeors on board, but even its operating theatre equipped with the most upâ€"toâ€"date method of lighting, inâ€" struments, and sterilizing apparatus as perfect as in any hospital ashore. The hospital and operating theatre are usually built between decks amidâ€" ships, where the movement of the vesâ€" sel is least noticeable and the vibraâ€" tion from the propeller practically nil. A Ship‘s Surgeon is at the Serâ€" vice of Passing Vessels Wirelessing for Aid. n That "Stitch in the Side." iing, therefore, not only causes ra strain upon the diaphragm and also moves the ribs more , but puts an unaccustomed burâ€" on the strips of fibre which conâ€" ie two, thus causing the pain we call a "stitch in the side."

We would not, for instance, think of shortening the name of Gilbert into "Gib" or "Gibb," though we might make it cither "Gill," or "Bert." Bet the twist of the medieval English tongue, under the influence of Norâ€" manâ€"French, was different. It tended particularly to eliminate the letter "I." Hence as Walter was shortened to "Wat," and gave us "Watâ€"son," so Gilâ€" bert was shortened to "Gib" and gave us "Gibâ€"son" and then "Gibbs." Just as "Diccon" or Dickon," meant "little Dick," and by the addison of "son," gave us "Dickinson" and "Dickens," so "Gibbon" has developed into "Gibâ€" bons." As a given name Gilbert means either _ "goldâ€"bright" _ or _ "yellowâ€" bright." The "gil" is from the same source as our "gilt," "gild" and "gold," and the German "gelt." The "bert," which appears as "brecht" in German, is a mark of Teutcnic names. It means "bright," Aand comes, in fact, from the same source as that word. The Angloâ€"Saxon form was "beort" or "beohrt," the latter being the older form, with the "h" as strongly gutâ€" A Long Wait. Pat was invited to a party. His host saw that he was not paying attention to his plate, and asked the reason. "Oh," said Pat, "I am waiting for the mustard to cool!" Gilbert, as a family name, is but a reshortening of "Gilbertson" into "Gilâ€" berts" and then Gilbert. Gilbrecht, of course, is a German form. The family name of Gibbs and Gibâ€" bons don‘t show their origin in the form, or rather, that origin is not so obvious to us toâ€"day, simply because they are patronymic developments of a type of nickname which is rather rare in modern times, though quite common in that period of medieval hisâ€" tory in which family names came into being.

The shortest is the Chinese, about 600 yards. ; In that period of English history when the Saxon and Norman tongues bad just combined, when Normans and Angloâ€"Saxons finally lost their pride in race for pride in nationality, there came about a change in the type of given naraes. This was no doubt due in part to the absolute necessity for more names, for population was inâ€" creasing and the same force which finally brought about the development of a second, or family, name for the individual also tended to increase the number of given names. In that period there was a general turning to the Scriptures and to scriptural history in search of names. Naturally Michael, the name of the archangel, was a popular one. _ And form it naturally developed a surname by the addition of "son." At this period, in the South, the linguistic tenâ€" dency was toward a softening of proâ€" nunciation and the name became Mitchel, while it remained Michael in the North, just as the samo word beâ€" came "ditch" in the South and "dyke" in the Nortbh. In more modern times, owing to the recorded spellings, there has been a return to the original form in the case of the name, though there has not been in the case of the word, Mitchell and Mitchel, of course, are shortened forms of Mitchelson.

That is how the rank of major came into existence. The captain derives his name from the Latin word caput, a head; he was the head man, or chief. In old days this was the highest rank of all. Later an officer called the captainâ€"general came into existence, and after a short time the first part of his title was dropped, general alone being retained for officers of the highest rank. The only remaining rank is that of colonel, the commander of a "colonne," or column. MONEY ORDERs. Dominion Express Money Orders are on sale in five thousand oflices throughout Canada. The sergeant was originally a "surâ€" veillant," or overseer. His business was to march behind the rear rank, and to prevent any who had "cold feet" from bolting. For this reason he was armed with a epear or axe. Even sergeants occagionally showed a desire to take a short cut for home in battle, and it was found necessary to have a superior surveillant, or serâ€" genatâ€"major, to march behind them and keep them from straying. The sergeantâ€"major‘s post became in course of time so important that in acâ€" tion he was virtually secondâ€"inâ€"comâ€" mand of the battalion. A new comâ€" missioned rank was therefore created The history of those which denote rank is curious. The word soldier comes from the Latin solidus, a small coin; the solidarius, or soldier, was a man who earned a solidus a day. Sword and rifle and gun are about the only three of them that are really Engâ€" lish in origin. The corporal was the man in charge of a corps, originally a little body of men about the size of a modern plaâ€" toon. What of the lanceâ€"corporal? This word has a remarkable story. In old days, when a knight was unhorsed in battle, he had to report to the nearest mounted officer, and to fight by his side. Whilst so doing he was known as "lance to a colonel," "lance to a captain," and so on. Eventually the words "to a" dropped out, and "lance" came to denote simply assistant. Nowâ€" adays it is used only for the nonâ€"comâ€" missioned ranks. The majority of our military words were originally French.
