Variationsâ€"Grahame, Graeme, Mac The family name of Grabam is one i frequently met with, but not one easy to trace toits origin. It is deservedly classed as Scottish because it is the name of one of the most powerful of , the Highland clans, the name of whlch’ in Gaelic is "Na Greamaich." Thus, it will be observed, the spelling ofl "Greame" is more nearly correct, in | the sense that it is a closer approxi-? mation of the old Gaelic form. t Bui though the vast majority of the blood in the clan may be Gaelic, the rame is admitted even in the Highâ€" lands to have come originally from some Lowland source. But what? It‘s more or less a mystery. The clan tradition has it thit the The clan tradition has it that the name traces back to one "Gramus,." who demolished the line of defenses built under the orders of the Roman Emperor Antoninus between the Ciyde and the Forth,. It is certain that such a wall did exist, and that it was known at a later date as "Graeme‘s Dyke." But whether the place name was deâ€" rived from the man‘s name, or whether the founder of the clan merely came from that locality is a matter which bhas not been cleared up. There is a word root in the Teutonic tongues from which a given name might have been derived that in turn may have been the souree of the clan name. It is "grim." But there are a‘so the forms "grem" and "gruaim" in the Celâ€" tic tongues. Let us keep on speeding up and speeding up until we reach the treâ€" mendous speed at which radio waves | travel.

It is most unfortunate that we ever started referring to transâ€" mission as being done on a certain wave length; we should from the very start have spoken of its frequency. In the ol@ days we used to think that energy was sent through space in the form of waves. The latest view of science, however, takes the viewâ€" point that it is not a series of waves but is really a series of pulsations much like the _ pulsations going through our blood vessels; in fact, the most advanced scientists claim that the energy we receive does not go even in the form of pulses but in the form of actual infinitesimal particles of matter. Men walking at a good smart pace will cover about 330 feet in one minâ€" ute. Let us assume that these men wre spaced about three feet apart. It they are walking at the rate of 330 feet a minute and about three feet Let us suppose that a long line of men is passing a given point. We are standing on a street corner as they go by single file. upa'rtj ;ee can easily calculate that there will be 110 men pass us in each minute. That 110 is the "frequency‘" of this parade. The space between the men is analogous to wave length. In the French system of measureâ€" ment, they bave a standard which they call the meter and all of their meaâ€" surements are made in meters or in decimal divisions or multiplication of the meter. The meter is just a trifle over three feet. Now let us hurry our parade along. We start with the parade going 330 feet a minute with a frequency of 110. 'i‘his is an amazing speed but it bas been definitely proved that radio waves go that fast. ¢ 4 meters. Assuming that the men are also travelling at this tremendous speed of 300,000,000 meters a second, we wiil find that 300,000,000 men will nass us every second.

Albert â€"â€"â€"â€"â€", on the 2nd Concession in Grant Township, owned a Scrub Bull in 1911. He delivered to the cheese factory that year 44,228 pounds of milk. He bo:ght a good Pure Bred Sire and from the first cross produced 14 of his present cows and six of his present milking heifers. From the same number of cows as in 1911, last year he delivered 152,605 pounds of milk. Eight years of crossing with a Pure Bred Sire made a difference of 108,337 lbs. of milk in his herd. Don‘t keep unprofitable producers, GRA HAM Surnames and Their Origin A GOOD BULL VF | _ The shortâ€"wave broadcasting that is ‘ on at the present time is mostly someâ€" where in the neighborhood of 100 ‘ meters. That means that there are |8.000,000 pulses of energy shot out | from the transmitting aerial every | second. | The period between the time when one impulse strikes our antenna and | the time when the next one strikes it is what is known as a cycle.

"Injunction Against Imitator , of Salada Label Variationsâ€"Stanley, Stanleigh, Stanâ€" Broadcasting has not yet been done on such a very low wave length. But science will some day do it. Therefore, 3,000.000 cycles would be 3000 kilocycles. Divide this number into the speedâ€"300,000,000 metersâ€" and the result will be the wave length on which the broadcasting is being done. You can see from this explanation that the wave length has nothing whatâ€" ever to do with the distance over which the ray travels. The wave length is purely a matter of the speed at which the rays travel and the numâ€" ber of separate impulses sent out every second. It is not worth while to build a reâ€" ceiving set to get these low wave lengths. Such receivers are extremely difficult to builld and extremely difiâ€" cult to operate and, after you learn to build and operate them, you find that the quality of transmission below 100 meters is not nearly so good as the qguality on the normal wave lengths of the broadcasting stations.

I can therefore strongly recommend Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pilis ‘to anyone suffering as I did from this ; trouble." Writing Shorthand on Wax. Most people imagine that shorthand is an outcome of modern commercial life, yet it is really at least 2,000 years old. War correspondents with Caesar‘s armies practis¢d the art, which was developed about fifty years before the Christian era under the patronage of Cicero, the great Roman lawyer and orator. One of Cicero‘s freed men, Thllius Tiro, evolved an excellent sysâ€" tem which was taught in the Roman schools in addition to ordinary longâ€" hand. Going to the law courts, a magnifiâ€"| cent building in the centre of ancient | Rome, a noble was accompanied by; a number of slaves or "notaries," who . recorded the evidence of witnessesi and the speeches of great men. New shorthand characters were added, and . the philosopher Seneca collected them | and found they were over 5,000 in numâ€" ber. The famous Stoic lectures were taken down verbatim, and after the| collapse of the Roman Empire thc] early Christians employed shorthand | extensively. | Able to keep pace with the fastest speakers, these early reporters have left examples of their skill in the areâ€" hives of the firstâ€"Church Counci‘s, and so important was their work considerâ€" ed that St. Cyprian devoted much time to perfection of the system in use. Further development took place in the sixteenth century under the Protesâ€" ant teachers, and many crude atâ€" tempts were made before Pitman inâ€" troduced his famous system in 1837. art Still to be seen in the National Library is a series of waxâ€"covered stone tablets which are probably the oldest record of the stenographer‘s GOOD NEWS FOR RHEUMATIC PEOPLE Now Known That This Trouble Must be Treated Through the Blood.

"Yesâ€"very noticeable in the swelled heads." A pin was dropped on a desk by Dr. Gano Dunn in the course of his address at the dedication of the new buildings of the National Academy of Sciences and the National Research Council in Washington. That pinfail was perhaps the most significant and widely heard of any in history. Without being warned to gilence, every person â€" in the highâ€" domed, wideâ€"winged hall heard the pin as it struck the woodwork. Thorsands of wireless listeners, hundreds of miles away, also heard.

That Canada will soon take its place with the nations that are the largest consumers of cheese seems assured considering the steady increase in its consumption in the past few years since the Kraftâ€"MacLaren Cheese Comâ€" pany, of Montreal, introduced the five pound box. The Kraft Company were the originators of the popular tinfoilâ€" wrapped cheese, without rind or waste, in the five pound wooden box, and while the original product has had many imitators none have been able to produce a cheese of the same uniform quality and flavor because the Kraft process is protected by patents. The Company does not make cheese, thereâ€" fore, it is not competing with the cheese factories. But it purchases Canadian cbeese in enormous quant!â€" ties, thus keeping the cheese factories busy and adding to their prosperity and that of the farmers. Kraft Cheese is simply a sclentific blending of these manufactured cheeses by means of the patented Kraft process which absoâ€" lately controls the favor.

Indians say when the moon is full that bad spirits begin nibbling at it to put out the light, and eat a portion each day, until it is all gone. Then the Great Spirit, who will not allow the bad spirits to go about the earth in the dark, doing mischief, makes a new moon, and works on it every night until it is full, when he goes away tired, and leaves it to sleep. . 5.
