* > * \ THE DETECTION ‘NO MEDICINE LKE OF ICEBERCGS BABY‘S OWN TABLETS Details of Efforts to Make Our Waterways Secure. ‘AN INTERNATIONAL JOB. Navigation in icebergâ€"infested watâ€" | ers has been recognized from early‘ times to be fraught with special d.n-l gers, but attempts to apply scientific : methods to the detection of these noa-| ing dangers to navigation are comâ€" paratively recent. The present cirâ€" cumstances of sea travel render spe clal precautions necessary. Some of these circumstances, as detailed by a| contributor to Nature (London), are the incvreasing size and speed of pu-l senger vessols, the replacement of wooden hulls by steel, and the need to complete the voyages within scheduled times. He writes further: "The small ice ‘growler," floating al most submerged, is not only the most difficult to detect, but is also almost as danzcrous an obstruction to modern #tc>! ships as the iceberg of large diâ€" mensloas, which is likely to be more readily perceived even in a fog. "The Titanic disaster in 1912 led direcily to the formation of the Interâ€" natliona! Ice Patrol, which now mainâ€" tains a continuous patrol during the ice season in the dangerous area of the North Atlantic. This organization is maintained by the United States, the countries chiefly concerned conâ€" tributing io the cost in proportion to their shijping tonnage. _ At present the chief duties of the Ice Patrol are: The continuous location of ice endanâ€" gering the shipping lanes, and dis semination of relevant information to vessels approaching the danger area; oceanographical work associated thereâ€" with: the investigation of various deâ€" vices and aids to the location of casual icebergs, and of the waters of polar orizin in which they are found. "Harly experiments on the detection of icebergs by temperature diffierences, carrtied out with the assistance of tho‘ Canadian CGovernment, seem to have been unsuccessful, since we find that! attention is now being concentrated en underwater echo methods of detecâ€" tion sim‘lar to those used for echo wounding. In the 1925 season an echo sounder of the United States Navy type was tried by the Ice Patrol, and it was established that weak echoes eould be obtained from a large icebehg in favorable circumstances at a maxiâ€" mum range of 2,500 yds., the echoes beâ€" inz first roflected from the bottom of the sea. ‘Growlers‘ and very small hares did not reflect well under norâ€" in the meantime, the Canadian Govâ€" erament and the Research Council of Canada have instituted a series of inâ€" vestigations on the properties of highâ€" frequency soundâ€"waves in water. "The oxperiments showed that Ice was. of the materials tried, the worst reflector of sound. The circumstance that ice in its natural condition conâ€" tains a considerable amount of inâ€" cluded air in the form of bubbles held under pressure will, however, tend to make the detection of Icebergs by echo methods less unpromising than might be judged from calculations on pure bce. "The final report details the results of some practical trials to determine the range of icebergâ€"detection at sea by the use of a highâ€"frequency soundâ€" transmitter fitted on the Montcalm, & vesel maintained by the Department of Marine and Fisheries of Canada. "Echoes were obtained from rocks at a range of about 1,000 yards. Kchoes from a mediumâ€"sized iceberg were deâ€" tected at a range of only 250 yards, but echoes due to multiple reflections between the berg and the ship were observed in other cases at a distance ot 150 â€"yards. The tests, which were earried out in shallow water, showed that echoes from the bottom and surâ€" face of the soea were a source of disâ€" turbance. * "More powerful transmitting apparâ€" atus has already been constructed. Whether a reasonable increase in power will permit detection of the smaller icebergs and ‘growlers,‘ which must be considered the most dangerâ€" ous types of ice, can only be deci¢ed by further practical experiments at sea."

How far this first significance may in after times be rightly apprehended deâ€" pends partly on the degree of its origâ€" inal obviousness, partly on the amount of kindred culture possessed by the persons to whom it is addressed. As of essentially popular origin and growth the myth cannot, in the proper sense, be said to have been the creaâ€" tion of any poet, however distinguished. Much less could a popular minstrel like Homer, using a highly polished language, and who manifestly had many predecessors, be said to have either created the characters or inventâ€" ed the legends about the Greek gods, which form the critics of the last century used to call the "machinery" of his poems. In regard to theological myths, which are most deeply rooted in the popular faith, such a poet as Homer could only turn to the best account the materials existing, with here and there a little embellishment or expansion, where there was no danâ€" ger of contradicting any article of the received imaginative creed. â€" John Stuart Blackie, in "On Interpretation of Popular Myths." How the Myth Originated. The mistake commonly made is to view an obstacle as "an immovable obâ€" struction,"" whereas it is only a diffiâ€" culty of some kind, which can be overâ€" come with a little perseverance and intelligence. _ Regarded in this light, obstacles are to be welcomed, for they develop our strength of character. If everything is smooth and plainsailing, calling for no special effort on our part, we cannot expect to make the most of ourselves and develop our caâ€" pacities to the full.. It is opposition that brings out our reserve forces, carâ€" rying us on to greater achievement. Those who rise superior to their difâ€" ficulties are bound to make progress, if they consistently triumph over every obstacle as it is met. It is a common but very unfortunate thing for young people to get discouraged when they come up against an impediment of any kind. They should really regard all such trials as tests of character. Forceâ€" ful personalities are formed in just that wayâ€"by measuring wits with contrary circumstances. Let all those who aspire to win to high place take heart at what Mr. Bok tells them, out of his practical experience: "I looked at the top, and instead of finding it overcrowded, I was surprised at the few who had reached there; the top fairly begged for more to climb its heights."â€"Hamilton Spectator. The apparent forethought in preé paring materials and storing them for a time of need is not manifested by the trees alone, but in a greater or less degree it is exercised by every plant that growsâ€"more manifest is it in those that live more than a single year. What wonders are performed beneath our vyery feet! If we could look be neath the thick «woven sward of the meadows, or roll back the decaying leaves of the forest, or pluck up the thickened rootâ€"stocks of the water lHly and kindred forms from their oozy beds beneath the shallow lakes, we should find in every place evidence of instinctâ€"like forethought among the plants and provision for their futureâ€" wants. . . . All the wealth of beauty; in early springâ€"the groeen blade of grassâ€"the fragrant Arbutus of the hillâ€" side and the golden Caltha by the brookâ€"these all are the products of plant labor of the former year. These slow, secret processes are hid from ithe eye of the most careful ogserver, i:md they would never be known were lit not for the sudden display of leaf 'and flower in springtime that reveals | the secret of this hoarded wealth.â€" ‘Pnu-l Asel Chadbourne, in "Instinct in .

PV WW PMUIICT At that time, of course, the appendâ€" ages to the given names for the most part were purely descriptive, signifyâ€" ing the trade which their bearers folâ€" lowed. The trade was that of roofing, for with rare exception the ordinary house of the Middle Ages had a thatched roof. Later the same names are met, but here and there minus the "le," showâ€" ing that in some cases at least they were boing used as real and not mereâ€" ly descriptive names. Still later such combinations as "Walter Thaccer, le Cordwainer," proved that the name had become a family one, and that the said Walter was not a thatcher at all, though his name might indicate it. The harsher pronunciation general ly developed in the northern parts of England and the softer in the south, just as the same words became "church" in the south and "kirk" in the north, or "Ask" in the north and "fish" in the south, or again "dike" in the north and "ditch" in the south. The flourishing ending "ay," later developing in some cases to a plain "y," were simply whimsical or vain endings added in much the same spirit that some names were Latinized to show the learning of their bearers.

"I can most heartily recommend Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills to all weak peoâ€" ple," says Mrs. Augustin Arsenault, Wellington Station, P.EI. "Before I began their use I was very weak and nervous. I had always worked hard, with no thought of my hbealth, until suddently my strength left me. I began to feel tired and depressed, and did not sleep well at night, feeling just as tired in the morning as when I went to bed at night. I began to feel disâ€" couraged when I would think of the work necessary for me to do. 1 got some medicine from the doctor whom I consulted, but it did not appear to meet my case as I showed no imâ€" provement while taking it. Then &A neighbor advised me to try Dr. Wilâ€" liams‘ Pink Pills and I got a supply of this medicine. I very soon found they were helping me, and I continued their use until I was well again, and I have been strong and well ever since." Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills do one thingâ€"and do it well.

We got out about five miles and the car broke down." "Gee! You were lucky." "No, he turned out to be an auto mechanic and the stupid boy fixed the thing right up." "An an official baving a good deal to do with the Child Life of the counâ€" try, it is my duty to warn parents everywhere of the terrible seriousness of leaving young children alone in the house," said J. J. Kelso to a press reâ€" presentative. "One cannot reach this evil by lawâ€"it must be through an apâ€" peal to the sense of right and responâ€" sibMity resting upon all parents. These horrible burnings are all too frequent and the recent tragedy should teach a lasting lesson. It is not a good excuse to say that children were left sound asleep, or that there was apparently no danger. Children do not stay asleep. They wake up and rush about searchâ€" ing for parents and even in the dayâ€" time lively children left to themselves are always in danger.

THACKERAY "Hobbe le Thechere" are Surnames and Their Origin TORONTO CHISHOLM. Racial Originâ€"Lowland Scottish. Sourceâ€"Geographical. Though the origin of this family name, which is the name of one of the Highland clans of Scotland, is not Gaelic at all, most of those who bear the namo are descendants of Gaels, with blood that originally came from Ireland. The exact racial classification of the Lowland Scottish has never been seb-‘ tled with finality. That they were orâ€". iginally a Teutonic, rather than a Celâ€" tic, race is certain, but they have never been definitely placed as belonging to the Germanic (like the Angloâ€"Saxons) or the Scandinavian (like the Norse) branch of that great racial division. There is very good philological eviâ€" dence that the Scottish dialect (which, incidentally, is not the language of the Highlanders, but of the Lowlandâ€" ers) is not a corruption of English, as is commonly supposed, but a developâ€" ment independent of it, from a tongue dissimilar neither to the ancient Saxon nor Norse. It has, however, been comâ€" plicated by the influence of the neighâ€" boring English through all periods. However, the name OL UNIBNOIM: (note the Saxon ending, which means meadow land) was the name of the home of the Lowland family which founded the Highland clan, gathering its followers from among the Gaels. The name, As first recorded, was spelled "Chishelme." This was in the fourteenth century, in about the mid» dle of which the acquisition of Highâ€" land territory and the formation of the clan is placed. Mortality Among the Classes. Gir Arbuthnot Lane, in a review of Sir Arbuthnot Lane, in a review 0| Mr. Bilis Barker‘s work on "Health" published in the English Spectator, speaks as follows:â€" ul diandnndBrantioddabdon n The author gives convincing proofs of the advantage of plain living on naâ€" tural food, combined with outdoor exâ€" ercise. Ferm workers and clergymen are the healthiest classes of the comâ€" munity, doubtless because both lead simple lives, with much exercise in the open air. Butchers and merchant seaâ€" men are among the most shortlived people. The mortality among butchâ€" ers is twice as great, while that ot] merchant geamen is three and oneâ€"half times as great as that of clergymen and agricultural laborers. Butchers and seamen live largely on meat, preâ€" served meat, preserved vegtables and other stale food which is only eaten‘ sparingly or not at all by the clergy and rural workers; hence the high mortality of the sailors not withâ€" standing the bracing air of the sea. _ Many think cancer is an qldâ€"age disâ€" ease. If there were a cancer age, canâ€" cer modtality would be higher among farm workers and clergymen, among whom longevity is greatest; but acâ€" cording to Mr. Barker, the cancer mortality is twice as high among the shortâ€"lived butchers and seamen.
