ORIGIN or TIE woHD rIoNIu.

This word is said to date from about
the year 1902. Then as now, when such
an entertainment was being arranged
for, it was customary that those who
intended to be pre- sent should supply
the eatables and drinkables. A list Of
what was considered necessary would
be drawn up and passed around, each
person picking out such articles OF food
or drink as he or she was willing to fur
nish. The name of the article was then
nicked of the list Hence this form
of fste champetre became known as q
"pick-and nick" which by a natural
transition degenerated into picnic.
But though the word is comparative
ly recent, the thing that it designates
is at least two centuries older, says
Notes and Queries. There is eItant
which took place in the early part of
the seventeenth century, upon the
birthday of Charles. Prince of Wales,
afterward Charles of England. Nam
waring. in letter to the Earl of Arun-
del, bearing date November -, 1918,
2ys:-
"Che prince his birthday has been
solemnizd here by the few marquises
and lords which found themselves here;
and Ito supply the want OF lords) knights
and squires were admitted to consul
tation, wherein it was resolved that
such a number should meet at Gamiges,
and bring every man his dish OF meat.
1t was left to their own choice what to
bring; some chose to be substantial,
some curious, some e1travagant. Sir
George Young's invention bore away
the bell; and that was four huge Draw
ny pigs, piping hot, bitted and har-
messed with ropes of sarsiges, all tied
20 a monstrous bag pudding"

SEEING BY ELECTRICITY.

THE mention of electricity brought
up new possibilities for future discov.
cry, some of them so amazing as to
almost pass the bounds OF. credlbility.
Professor Bell said
'Morse fought the world years ago
to write at distance by electricity :
the telephone enables US to talk at a
distance by electricity and now scien.
lists are agreed that there Is no theoret-
ical reason why the well-known
principles Of light should not be applied
In the same way that the principles OF
sound have been applied In the tele-
phone, and thus allow US to see at Il
distance by electricity. 1t Is some ten
years since the scientific papers Of the
world were greatly exercised over a re-
port that had filed at the Smithsonian
Institution a sealed packet supposed to
contain a method Of doing this very
thing that is, transmit the vi,.on OF
persons and things frcm one point o.
the earth to another. Asa matter OF
fact there W.T. no truth "a the report.
but 1t resulted in stirring Up dozen sci
entilic men of eninence to como ont
with statements to the effect that they
too had discovered various methods of
seeing by electricity. That shows what
L know to be the case, that men are
working at this great problem in n any
laboratories, ard firmly believe it will
be solved one day.
"Of course, while the principle of
seeing by electricity at distance Is
drecisely that applied In the telephone,
yet it will be very much more difficult
to construct such an apparatus, owing
TO the immensely greater rapidly with
which the Vibrations OF light take place
when ccmpaIc with the vibrations Of
sound. 1t is merely question, how
