An Explanation.

The editor Of the TINES wishes 20 make
an explanation Of the remarks that the
journal attributed 10 him at the banquet
cf the Wa,chemoKet Fire Co., in East
Providence, Thursday evening Of last
week. He attended the banquet as rep
resentative Of the East Providence
Record, a paper Of which he is part
owner, and during the evening was rallied
in a joking way on being a resi- dent of
Johnston and thus in "the soup" Not
being present at the contest Of the active
companies he knew nothing Of the pro-
test until the mex, day and therefore sup
posed that the Rough and Readys had
been fairly and s1uarely defeated by
both the WatchemOkets and Riyersides.
Therefore when called on for an after
dinner speech he said among other Things
that he had recently removed his resi-
dence from Johnston 90 the city, and thus
in a manner escaped the chill and gloom
that was supposed 20 prevade the town.
This was said in a joking way % turn Of

what Wa intended and prominence
that was entirely uncalled for.

Cheap Electricity.

The stately elm tree in front Of Nichol'
sons grocery store, on High street, was
an object Of much interest Wednesday,
The lower branches Of the tree are inter
laced 10y telegraph, telephone and electric
light wires. and one of the latter in some
way set a branch on fire. 1t was too wet
and green TO burn freely but it smoked
like n furnace. Finally il was accident
ally discovered that the whole tree was
heavily charged with electricity by
placing the tips Of the fingers aGains, the
trunk very distinct shock could be felt
Hundreds Of people tried the experiment
and the elm tree was a centre Of attrac-
tion. 1t was as effective and much
cheaper than n museum battery.

Some of the More Important Benefits De-
. ~ rived from Wood Growth.
Il heartily subscribe to the sentiment
that weeds are a blessing in disguise.
Without the timely warning they give.
to the gardener; and without their
tendency to stimulate his dormant en-
ergfes to renewed exertions, many Of
our crops would suffer for want Of
proper cultivation. Frequent stirring
of the surface soil is Of greater impor-
lance than the mere destruction of:
weeds, but is not compulsory unless
through the urgency of weed destruc-
ton. The benefits derived from weed
growth in its character as mulch to the
soil when not protected by cultivated
crops, as absorber and saver of the
volatile ammonia, and as material for
green inanuring, are not fnconsider-
able. and should not be underesti
mated Hence it'can hardly be denied
that weeds have a mission to per-
form and must be considered blessings
If these do appear in a rather hateful
and offensive guise. But when the en-
tomologist Of a State Experiment Sta
ton states that, injurious Insects are
not an unmitigated evil, as they make
production more 1aborious- and give-a

look at the average farmers family

sulting from the worko cabbage-mag-

insects which even the professional
gardener has not yet learned to fight
SO TO prevent serious loss to the crop;

tables is limited just through the in

rho Contine.t Net So Called After Amer
ixo vespucci. the Explorer
The bulletin Of the Paris Geography
ical Society. which has just been issued,
contains an account BY n Jules Mar
con OF certain further researches which
he has made into the origin Of the name
America" As far back as 1875 he.
published ; paper on the same topic
which attraea1d much attention at:thel
time. and be has since devoted mach
labor TO Investigation OF early historical
documents in which the New World Is
named.
The popular notion that America was
70 called from the Christian name OF
Amerigo vespucci is, he says, wholly
Eunfounded, and he sums up his conclu-
sions in this way: !. Amerique is the
Indian name oil the mountains between
Juigapa and Libertad. in the Province
Of chontales, which separate Lake Me-
aragua from the Mosquito coast The
word insthe Maya language signifies
"the windy country" or 1.-THE country
where the wind blows always" q The
Christian name OF vespucci was Alber-
leo in Italian and Spanish, Albericus in
Latin. 5. This particular name is sub
ject to an enormous number Of variar
TONS as the nomenclatures and calen-
dars OF Italian and Spanish Saints of
the period show; but nowhere is there
any such variation as Americas, Amer
-rige, Amerigio. Amerigo etc, and
none of these is either diminutive or
q variation in use in Italy, Spain or
France fer Alberico or Albert. 4 Be
fore 1907, when Jean Basin of Saint-Die
published thef name, It Is not toeSbe
found in any printed document, nor
even in any manuscript Of recognized
and incontestable authority. =
M. Maroon claims that his theory Of
native origin for the name America
has been accepted in Spain, Spanish
America, and, with some exceptions, in
the United States; in France, Germany
and Italy 1t has excited doubt and SUR.
prise, but in the last named he has the
support OF the eminent Turin geogra-
pher, M. Guido Cora. There is no
doubt that Columbus and Vespucci went
along the Mosquito coast at the feet Of
the Sierra Amerique, and that the
name was reported by the officers and
men of these expeditions, and Schooner,
the geographer, declared in 1915 that
the name was already popular in
Europe +,
1 1t is beyond question that one edition
of Vespucci's letter on his third voyage
has tho name Amerigo in the place of
the Christian name; nineteen>.editions
had Albericus, and subsequent Italian
editions had Afberico. The one with
Amerigo on the title page was pub
lished in 1906. but NJ. Maroon suggests
that this was never intended to be ava
ration Of Alberico, but rather the
adaptation of Amerrique, a name al
ready known and applied to the now
word, to Yespuccis name to distinguish
him, as we say now Chinese Gordon,

suggesting one of his greatest feats.
