The given name of "Sveinbjorn" would naturaily, within a few generaâ€" tions, be softened into an Angloâ€"Saxon form, and then, following the period of Norman dominance, come to the surâ€" face finally as Swinburn. In the north of England, as well as along the west coast of Scotland, the Norse influence was at one time very strong. In fact, numerous expeditions of the Vikings left settlers in many localities, thereby bringing as much inâ€" fluence upon the nomenclature of Engâ€" land and Scotland as did the Danes. As you might see, if you went careâ€" fully over a map of Northern England, there is a locality in Northumberland which bears this name, and undoubtedâ€" ly in many instances the family name came into being in the form "de Swinâ€" burn," indicating that the bearer had come from this place.

It is a mistake to think that anae mia is only a girl‘s complaint. Girls probably show the effect of weak, watery blood more plainly than boys.

Unless you search the records in the individual cases there is no way of telling just when the name came into the Riglish from the French. With the foregoing spellings it seems fairly reasonable to suppose that they did so some time ago, for in later years the tendency has been to preserve French spelling rather more than has been the case here. in some cases the name may have come over in Norman times. In others it may have been brought into England by Huguenot refugees. In France, in the department of Berâ€" ry, there is a city called Aubigny. It There is something Englishâ€"soundâ€" ing about both of these family names. But you can‘t always go by the sound of a name, nor yet by its spelling.

The gigantic "thundercloud" may sometimes grow until it becomes three miles deep fron summit to base! It is simply a dense rainâ€"cloud, which is the source of heavy scummer showers Often it is accompanied by storms of thunder and lightning. The latter is caused by the discharge of the elecâ€" tricity that has accumulated upon the raindrops in the cloud, the former beâ€" ing the audible effect of the discharge. Liight travels about a million times: faster than sound, and therefore we see the lightning before we hear the thunder; both are, of course, actually simultaneous.

There are the thin feathery lines and bands commonly called "mares tails," floating nearly five miles high. The waterâ€"vapor that is evaporated into the atmosphere manifests itself in many other forms than rain. All the clouds are due to it, for they are nothâ€" ing but aggregations of excessively minute drops of water or crystals of ice, that have condensed out of thie air because the latter has become too cool to retain them in the form of waterâ€"vapor.
