How the Months We're Named.

In looking up the peculiar names
given each of the twelve months oil
the year, it becomes necessary for us
to go back to the old Romans.
January is named from Janus, the
god of doors and gates, because the
month opens the year; some say that
he was a two-faced god and could
look back on the last year and for
ward to the coming.
February is from februo, to purify
March was originally the first month
and was named for Mars, the god Of
war.
April is from aperire, to open, be-
cause the buds open in that month.
May is from Maia, goddess.
June is from Juno, the patron OF
marriage, and is therefore the favorite
month for weddings.
July was named for julius Caesar,
and August for Augustus Caesar.
Originally August had but thirty
days and February twenty-nine in
the common year and thirty in leap
years. Augustus was jealous that
julius month should have more days
than his own, therefore took one from
February and added it to August.
September, October, November and
December are so called because they
were originally the seventh, eighth,
ninth and tenth months of the year.
The names are inappropriate and rank
misnomers as now applied-Exchange.

Sound Shadows.

Still more interesting than the ex.
periments of Colladon were those
made in the bay of San Francisco in
1875 by Professor John LIE Conte and
his son, Mr.. Julian LIE Conte. The
source of sound was not such as would
give a definite pitch, like bell, but
the quick, violent, single impulse due
to the explosion of dynamite employed
in the blasting of rocks which obstruct.
ed the channels. The intensity of the
shock thus propagated was such as to
be felt as blow on the feet of a per.
son seated in a boat 300 feet or more
from the decorating cartridge, and to
kill hundreds of fish. Several vertical
posts or piles, each about q foot in di-
ameter, projected from the ground out
of the water in the neighbOrhood. A
stout glass bottle was suspended in the
water about foot in the rear of one
of these piles, within the geometric
shadow determined by lines supposed
to be drawn from the cartridge forty
feet horizontally away. The bottle
was perfectly protected from the shock
of the explosion. 1t was then put in
front of the pile. The first shock shiv-
cred it into hundreds of fragments.
Other bottles, some filed with air
and some filled with water, were SINH,
larly exposed in various directions
around a pile, and with the same re-
sult-destruction, except when within
the protecting shadow. The expert
ments were varied by immersing
stout glass tubes, incased in thick
paper, horizontally across the di-
rection of the sound rays in water,
between two piles which were
aligned with the dynamite cartridge.
These piles were twelve feet apart, the
nearer one being forty feet from the
cartridge. Its shadow, therefore, just
covered the second pile, and included
the intermediate water, with the mid
die part of each tube. After an ex.
plosion these protected parts We're
found to be unbroken, while the ends
which projected on the two sides be-
You'd the shadow were completely
shattered. The boundary between the
regions of shadow and noise was sharp
ly defined on the tubes, even at dis
lance of twelve feet beyond the pro.
tecting pile.-W. LIE Conte Stevens in

more hopeful family, however, with the as
surance that he would certainly cure both
the consumption and her scrofua, but that
1t would take time to cure the latter thor

is his equal in this respect. Thus, then, by
means of his rare ability in the treatment
of such diseases as consumption and scrOfula,
and his unrivaled skill as an OrthOpedic
surgeon, Miss Matte Jones was raised from
her sick bed to become well, strong and
happy woman. To see her now, knowing
her to have been on what she thought and
what all her family thought would certainly
be her death-bed, one would hardly believe
her to be the same person. Certainly no
one would think that she had been at
deaths very door, utterly crippled, helpless
and hopeless. She declared to the reporter
that she could hardly believe it herself
TO cap the climax, Miss Jones has since

MINNEAPoLIs, Mimi, Oct. 29-The re.

have been sold was followed Monday night
by the announcement that the sale of the
Pillsbury mills and also of the Washburn
mills is about to be consumated. For the
first time in connection with these deals q
price is given as regards the Pillsbury in
terests 1t is that the option Of the Pillsbury
system of mills and elevators calls for S.
100000. 1t is stated that Saturday the en-
ployes of the Pillsbury institution were
given to understand that all the details
such as accounts-must be in shape Nov. l
for complete transfer of the business
The purchasers are the English syndicate
heretofore mentioned and the sale is on the
same plan as outlined some time ago.
A Type-written Statement.
The Pillsburys will retain an interest in
the new company. When seen late at night
and asked regarding the sale of the mills Mr..
Pillsbury handed the reporter the following
type written statement, in addition to which
he would say nothing: "If our property is
sold it will be to a joint stock company, in
which we shall retain very large interest,
and we shall have to agree to continue in
the management Of the same The sale, If
made, will be to a company organized in
New York or some other eastern city, and as
far as the public is concerned I can not see
how it will affect it one way or the other.
