P Who are the ten richest men in the world* Henry Ford is easily the rich. est, while Andrew W. Melion, Seecre. tary of the United States Treasury, was said recently to be the fourth wealthiest. Who are the other eight? They must possess private fortunes of over $100,000,000 to secure a place on such a list, and fortunes of such proportions are almost impossible to estimate with accuracy. Authoritative estimates, however, supply the followâ€" ing list of men credited with the posâ€" session of more iIndividcual wealth than any other group on earth:â€" Henry Ford is possibly the hichest man in all history. He has a net bustâ€" ne«s income of $120,000,000 a year, which, capitalized at 5 per cent. repre. sents $2,400,000,000. He earns $225 per minute. Croesus may have been richer, since his famous gift to Delphi ¢ost $10,000,000, and that, reduced to today‘s terms, might mean $200,000,000.

That quesiion is now troubling a resident of Hompstead, a suburb of London, who, following a recent severe thunâ€" der storm, found embedded in his garâ€" den a heavy lump of some metallic substance which was sudded with glisâ€" tening points, resembling precious sones. The apparent meteorites are only six by five inches, but weigh six pounds each, and are so hard that fragments of them will cut glass. | C. P. Fitzgerald, in whose garden the meteorites were found, is an exâ€" pert metallurgist, and states the gift from the sky exactly resembles the diamondâ€"bearing quartz found in Bouth Africa.

The latest stamps that have been is sued by the Irish Fre@~State, the four pence and nine pence denominations, have been from the design of Miss Mil. licent Girling, a Waterford girl of twentyâ€"one. When Miss Girling was an art stuâ€" dent she qualified as a technical inâ€" structor in the Irish Department of Agriculture, as well as a certified teacher under the Board of Education, and pursued her own studies with such success that she obtained a scholarâ€" ship in the Dublin School of Art. Speaking of the art of handling cusâ€" tomers, Lord Leverhulme told a good story the other night. He said that a certain grocer, after being absent from his shop, asked his assistant whether any cusiomers had been in. The reply was, "Yes, one. She wanted some apricot jam, but I told her we hadn‘t any." Miss Girling‘s design has the merit of effective simplicity. _ On a back. ground of shamrock is impaled a shield containing the arms of all the provinces, with "Ireland" in Gaelic above and the value below. The grocer pointed out that the asâ€" sistant ought to have offered the lady some other jam, and should always en. deavor to sell something similar to what was asked for if he had not the precise article. The next time the grocer went out he inquired of the assistant when he returned what had happened in his abâ€" Lord Balfour‘s health is not all his old friends would like it to be. He is far over seventy, and the other day when he was expected at a little luncheon party, we got a note at the last moment regretting that he was laid up in bed.

As everybody knows, he is Lord Robert Cecil‘s cousin, and it is some evidence of heredity that his longâ€"time past an. cestor was Prime Minister to Queen Elizabeth, and he himself rose to the same high dignity.

J‘s" manner. When in New York he was shown the Woolworth Building. The highest building in the world, sir," he was told. "Indeed," said Balfour, not at all excited. It accommodates five thousoud people." "Does it?" he remarked with bored casualness. "Yes, sir, and it is fireâ€"proof throughout." Balfour affixed his pincenez slowly, let his eye roam over the building and then remarked, "What a pity!"

Mr. Zane Grey, the writer, has had some interesting experiences out of doors. In Tales of Lonely Trails he tells this exciting and amusing story of a bear hunt in which he took part on a skittish horse: my appetite, my feet and ankles were swollen and I was in a very miserable condition. A friend advised me to try Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills and I got two boxes, and found before they were finished that they wore helping me. I continued the pills until I had taken a half dozen boxes, with the result that I am now enjoying the best of health, all symptoms having disappeared. 1 feel confident that what Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills did for me they will do for others, if given a fair tmial." When we topped a ridge the baying of the hounds rang clear and full and flerce. My horse stood straight up. Then he plunged back and bolted down the slope. His mouth was like iron; 1 could neither hold nor turn him. He was running away! No doubt he had smelled the bear. He hurdled rocks, leaped â€" washes, slid down banks, plunged over places that made my hair stand up stiff, and, worst of all, he did not try to avoid brush or trees or cactus. Manzanita he tore right through, leaving my coat in strips decorating our wake. I had to hold on, to lie flat, to dodge and twist and all the time to watch for a place where I could fall off safely. But I did not get a chance to fall off. A loud clamoring from the hounds close behind drove my horse frantic. Before he had only run; now he flew! He left me hanging in the thick branâ€" ches of a juniper, from which I dropâ€" ped, blind and breathless anmd stunned. Disengaging myself from the broken and bhanging branches, I staggered aside, rifle in hand, trying to recover breath and wits. Then in that nerveâ€" less and shaken condition I heard the breaking of twigs and the thud of soft steps right above me. Peering up with my halfâ€"blinded eyes, I saw a huge red furry animal half obscured by brush. A shock came over me; I felt a gush of hot bleod that seemed to turn to ice. "Big cinnamon bear!" I whis. pered hoarsely. & Instinctively I cocked and leveled the rifie, and, though I could not clear. ly see the red animal bearing down the slope, I fired. Then followed a roaring crash, a terrible breaking onâ€" slaught upon the brush, and the huge red mass flashed down toward me. I worked the lever of the rifie, but I did not work it far enough down; the next cartridge jJammed. I tried again. In vain‘! The terrible crashing of brush appeared right upon me. For an instant that seemed an age I stood rivâ€" eted to the spot; my blood seemed congealed; my heart was choking me, and my tongue was pasted to the roof of my mouth. Then I dropped the rifle and whirled to plunge away. Like a deer I bounded. To escape, to find a tree to loap intoâ€"that was my only thought. A few rods down the slopeâ€" it seemed a mileâ€"I reached a pine with low branches. Like a squirrel I ran up it and, straddling a high limb, gazed back. I heard the crashing of brush, the pound of soft jumps over to my left. Then I saw a big red woolly steer plunge wildly down the slope and disappear.

Racial Originâ€"English, Sourceâ€"An occupation. This family name is one which dates from the days of Norman domination in England. It was originally the mere description of occupation, added to a man‘s given name, to distingush him from other men of the same given It is in this manner that a very large classification of modern family names came into being throughout the twelfth, thirteenth and fourteenth cenâ€" turies. Often such a descriptive appellation would, through common usage, develop into a family name during the first generation, so that in the minds of speakers the name would designate the man directly, and its reference to his calling be lost sight of, Someâ€" times it would not be until the second or third generations that this almost intangible change would take place. One vital factor in the stabilization of names was the fact that so often the sons followed the same occupation as the father under the social and in. dustrial conditions of feudal days. In its earlier and descriptive form the name of Lorrimer, or Lorimer, apâ€" pears as "le Larymer," the "le" be.â€" ing the same as the modern French "le," and meaning "the." Even at a very early period, however, its use or omission appears to have been opâ€" tional with the speaker. It was, of course, entirely dropped, as scoon as the name became a family name. The "lorymer" was one who made bits for horses. Some years ago, Professor Dewar, by boiling liquid hydrogen in a vacuum, reached a temperature within about 50 degrees of absolute zero. This temperature, described as that at which the heat energy of matter absoâ€" lutely disappeared, is no less than 490 degrees below zero Fahrenheit. Man‘s mind is not so constituted that he is able to comprehend space or infinity, and to the average person these words mean little, if anything. Yet in regard to positive science we are now reaching points which, like that of the intense cold mentioned, are absolutes so far as terrestrial exist. ence is concerned. At the same time that Professor Deâ€" war was experimenting with liquid hydrogen, other men of science, such as Moissan and Acheson, were experiâ€" menting with electric furnaces in which temperatures as high as 7,000 degrees Fahrenheit were obtained. Under such heat nickel and platinum burn like wax, and even the best fireâ€" brick is consumed, leaving no trace behind it. _ Yet science has not yet yeached the absolute of heat, and it is not known what that temperature would be. By the use of waveâ€"lengths of light, the scientist can now measure accuâ€" rately to the seventyâ€"millionth part of an inch. The mechanism, which is very complicated, shows a startling difference _ between two standards made in the same mould. As for size, theoretically speaking, there is no limit one way or the other. But in the laboratory man has succeedâ€" ed in discovering the dimensions of the atom, which is now known to be about oneâ€"thirtyâ€"millionth of an inch in diameter. Yet even the atom is built up of electrons. These we believe to be the smallest particlese which can or do exist. "The wanton cutting of timber is responsible for the radical change in the climate of the United States, says Gene Strattonâ€"Porter, the famous American author. "With the cutting of our timber has come a change in our climate; weeks of drought in summer and Cestructive cyclonic windstorms, winters alter. nating from a condition so open as to freeze prematurely forced fruit and grain, and winters so stringently cold that the fruit trees are killed outright. "The even temperature and the rains every three or four days which we knew in childhood are things of the past. Summer in these days means to scorch for weeks at a stretch with unalleviated hbeat; and in the same state in which 1 was born, it has be. come neceseary for the sons of the men who wasted the woods and the waters to put in overhead sprinkling systems in order to grow their garden veectables, while windmills and irrlâ€" gation are becoming common. "In my childhcod my father planted grain with the same certainty of hav. ing a full crop, that he had of alter. nate day and night. "Toâ€"day the farmer on my land has no more idea whether he will get a paying yield from the wheat, corn and potatoes that he puts into the ground than he has as to whether the next cyclone will blow his house into the lake or pass a few yards on the other side of it."

It‘s hard to know whether to class this Highland Scottish name as Scotâ€" tish, Norwegian or Irish, because in a sense it is each one of them. Begining as the old Nonmsey.â€"given name of "Leoid," it became the name of two Highland clans as Macleod, was taken to Ireland, where it became Maâ€" clure, and was brought back to Scotâ€" land in that form. "Leoid" was a son of Olave, a broâ€" ther of Magnus, the last king of Man, for fairly early in the Christian era the Vikings had conquered and established themselves along the western coast of England and Scotland. His ancesâ€" try traced back through six generaâ€" tions to Harald the Black, who was king of the Norsemen about the time the Normans invaded England. There are two branches of the clan he founded, the Macleods, or, if you choose to call them so, the two clans. One of these is known in Gaelic as "Siol Tormod" (Clan Norman, or Norâ€" manson) and the other as "Siol Tor. quil" (Thurkildeon), though in English they. are referred to as the Macleods of Harris and the Macleods of Lewis. After the defeat at the Battle of Worcester, certain of the Macleods of Harris fled to the north of Ireland, where the tendency was to pronounce the final "d" in their name as an "r," thus giving "Macleor," or Maclure. In this form the name returned to Galâ€" loway in the seventeenth century.
