will endeavor to reach the North Pole. He
will sail from Norway to Greenland, going
as far north as he can by ship, and will
then push on with small boats and sledges
without establishing supply stations A

more like attempted suicide than scientific
enterprise. The explorer is determined to

The Name SAmerica.'


Amerigo Vespucci had no part in the be-
stowal of his name on the new world. 1t
was the act of body of learned men
Columbus always believed that the country
he had discovered was part of Asia; but
the discerning and comprehensive mind of
Vespucci thought differently; he believed it
to be a separate continent. His written
description of the country, it's people, eli
mate and productions convinced the
learned men of Europe that his views were
correct.
The suggestion of America as a proper
name for the new continent came from
Matthias Ringman, the poet, and the pro-
fessOrs of the College OF st. Die, in Lor-
raine in the Vosges Mountains, in corner
OF France. They put forth little work in
1907, entitled "Cosmographie IntrOductis,"
In which 1t was suggested that the South
ern Continent should be called America,
after man, as Europe and Asia had been
named after women. In course Of time the
name TO be applied to both continents. 1t
would be impossible to add to the glory of
Columbus, even if the Old World as well
as the New shoui ID be renamed after him
it might add to the glory of Left to re-
christen North America after him; priority
of discovery certainly rests with him. Co
lumbus never visited its mainland.
Since the country as whole could not
be named after both of them, what more ap-
propriate name than America could have
been selected? Surely. the people of the
United States have no reason to complain.
Made up as they are mostly Of the leu
tonic race-English, Scandinavian and
Gorpopin tho MT Of tho xuorld
they should rejoice to know that they
have national name that fitly expresses
their political condition. 1t is their boast
that each and every man is born sover
eign, and this very fact the name America
tor it was the name of Gothic
king in the fourth century. Dixon in his
"Sir Nanus" says: "Emmery Armanaricks
(Gothic)-most exalted or universal rule
the forename of the Italian Vespucci was
also corruption Of name of king of
the GOths in the fourth century"
Another author, NJ A Lowe, "PatrCnym-
lea Britannica" says: From the personal
name Emeric or Americus, equivalent to
the Italian Amerigo Latinized Americus,
whence the name of the great Western
Continent"
And lastly, Webster's Unabridged Die
tionary among English names, p. 1879, says:
Emery, Emmery, Emory; Powerful, rich.
Lat, Americas; It., Amerigo; FIR, Emeri."
The first man of the name in England
was baron who fought under William the
Copqueror at Hastings. His name stands
on the roll of Battle Abbey as
Danny, in both lists, that of Stowe and
that of Hollingsworth, spelt in English as
in Norman-French.

DeCeptiVe Color.

The color of the Elffel tower, says The
american Architect has been one of the
puzz es of the Paris Exposition, no two
persons agreeing as to what the real
color is.
Some people imagine that it has be. n
plated with nickel or silver, while others
oall it red, and Others again think it is of O
beautiful beautiful bronze color. The fact
is that it is painted in five shades of the
same color, modulated with the skill that
the French often show in cases of the kind
From the base of the first plform the color
is dark "barbedienne" bronze, verging a
olIttle to red; thence to the second platform
the color is the same, but lighter, and from,
this point to the top the color grows con.
stontly lighter by five successive grada-
tions, the top being almost agolden yellow.
Three coats of paint are spread over the
entire surface, and over all is coat of very
hard transparent varnish, which, by reflect
ing the sun, adds to the :f1iculty of defin-
ing the color with precision. The varnish
is new patent compound, we believe, but
it is said to have borne the severe test of
use on the iron work of the tower ex-
tremely well.

The Dog Doc.

ST. Louis Globe Democrat The trotting
dog Doc. was the center of attraction in the
way of novel sport. He trotted two races
in the morning and won both. One of the
horses he trotted against was an exhibition
draft horse, sixteen hands high, and the
other an exhibition roadster and good
mover, too, but Doc carried him to a break
on the homstretch and came under the
wire twenty yards ahead of him. The
distance run In each race was about half
mile As they were exhibition races, there
was no official time kept. He was trotted
short distances at frequent intervals dur
ing the day for the amusement of the
crowd around the race course fence.
This most wonderful dog is the property
of Mr.. M. 2. Ketchum, of Toronto, Canada
He is red Irish setter 2 years and
months old, and is remarkably intelligent.
The Kansas City Journal of October 13
has the following of the race he ween Eos
and pony, which was recently run in that
city:
The next event on the programme was
the one in which The spectators, and es.
pecially the numerc us children present,
were uO6u luLcIcStcu-tuo cAulUlUlOQ OF
the famous trotting dog, Doc. He was
sent half mile in company with pony,
in an attempt to beat two minutes. They
were started from the wire, the dog giving
one jump and then settling down into
rapid level trot, which called fourth many
exclamations of amazement from the spec
tstors. The intelligent little animal
seemed to know what was required of him.
He made the half mile without skip, and
finishing with great burst of speed, went
under the wire in the fast time of 1:52
After short rest he was sent again, and
this time did even better, breaking the
dog record, making the half mile in 1:49l.
This is certainly a wonderful feat for dog,
when it is considered that he
weighs only fifty three pounds, and pulls
load of eighty -one pounds.

GIDEON C. MOODY.
United States Senator From South
Dakota.

Senator Moody is native of New York,
born in Cortland, Onondaga county, in
1882. Il, He studied law and soon went to
Indiana to engage in practice. There he
took an active part in organizing the Re-
publican party, and in 1860 was elected to
the legislature. Il He was member also of
the State convention of 1860. During the
war he served with distinction, rising to
the rank of Colonel. After the struggle he
took q farm in Dakota, resuming in tim
the practice of law in YanktOn. He was
member of various legislatures and at one
time speaker of the House. In 1877 be
settled in Deadwood and was ap-
pointed Judge, of that circuit by President
Hayes. He remained upon the bench until
April 1st, 1888 Mr.. Moody was elected a
member of the constitutional convention
for South Dakota in 1883, and again in
1885 Additional to other distinctions he
was chairman of the committee appointed
to draft and present memorial to the
President and Congress of the United States
asking the admission of South Dakota un-
der the constitution of 1885. That memo
rial was incorporated in each of the re-
ports made to the Senate and House since
and including the winter of 1e8585. Judge
Moody was elected one of the Senators by
the Provisional State Legislature which as
sembled in the fall of 1885. He was a del
egate to the National Republican Convention
in 1888, and drafted the plank relating to
the Territories and to the admission of
South Dako'a contained in the party plat
form of that year.

The Marriage Relation.

Make the marriage right and the off
spring will tend to be right. Perhaps it
may be true that we need new ideal of
the marriage relation. The old one in
which the woman promises to obey the
man is perishing visibly before our modern
eyes. Often she ought not TO do so, for the
man may be fool or brute, says writer
in the Womdn's Cycle. And the theory
adopted by many ill-mated couples that
marriage is a discipline is too cynical to
be either true or attractive. The
theory of easy divorce and frequent
change as remedy for ordinary disagree
ments has also serious disadvantages, and
is no sound remedy. 1t is only poor
refuge from imme date suffering. But a
new and perhaps useful attitude may be
gained by looking upon matrimony, as it is
in truth the only complete condition OF hu-
manity. In no other relation can man or
woman reach the highest development. No
character is full till it comprises its oppo-
site The very very divergencies at which
each party frets are the lacking necessities
of its own nature. Each would be partial
and narrow without the other, and the
new motto we may propose for matrimOpy
is the new word, development. Marriage
is development. If not quite happy, it
is still generously educational. If love
dies out from it, yet charity, wisdom, tact
and liberality of mind may remain in it.
Blind love may indeed remain and leave
the happy lovers without its best effects,
since even love may remain narrow and
selfish But the man who has learned to
comprehend the feminine nature with its
delicate. sprightly, graceful qualities in his
own, and the woman who has adopted
something of masculine independence,
liberality and courage into her constitution.
will be far better than the sole endowment
nature would have given either to be
alone
