Wrongly Named.

In an old church register there arc
several entries which show that the
unnecessary trials of some children
begin almost with their lives: 1880,
January II, Charles, daughter OF
John and Betty Haines. This child
ought to have been christened Char
lOtte, but, owing to q mistake of the
sponsors, it was wrongly named. 1901,
July l3, William, daughter OF Will
lam and Sarah Weiddick. N. B.
1t was intended that the child, be-
ing a girl, should have been chris
tened Maria, but through q mistake
Of the godfather 1t was named Will
lam.

Ennrmons Loss of Power.

At the electric light convention in St.
Louis Mr.. l., b. Stillwell remarked that
the Central station manager, who is buy
ing energy in the form Of coal and sell
ing it in the form of light and wasting it
at every step in the process, is losing far
more before the energy passes through
the dynamo than afterward. He estt-
mates that out of each 1000 horsepower
bought in the form of coal it is at pres
ent possible to sell not more than about
2.8 horsepower in the form of light
Some $50 horsepoweris lost before reach
ing the dynamo and the rest afterward.
1t seems clear therefore that the problem
of cheap electricity is in its final analysis
a problem of thermodynamics. -Engi-

EXcltements That XIII.

Now that the season of outdoor ath-
letic games has opened, the usual list of
injured from professional gamesof base
ball, cricket, football and similar rough
games may be expected to appear. But
though a number do get injured in this
way every season a far more common
danger is from the excitement which &C
companies these games. In the excite
ment of highly contested games the play
ers run the risk of enlargement of the
heart, which may prove fatal at the time
or drag along for years. While few Of
the players can endure almost anything
in the way of excessive muscular eXer-
ton others of an ambitious and excita-
BILE nature run great risks.
Many Of the games demand contin-
ued exertiOn of a dangerous and reckless
kind, and nothing short Of permanent
injury to the player must follow where
eXcitable temperaments engage long in
the games. Often one suffers from a
slight heart arrangement which would
never trouble him if he did not strain
himself in eXcitable games. The true
way is to demand a rigid examination Of
all those who would enter into games for
long continued struggles. Exercise Of a
proper sort is beneficial, but many cam
not stand more than the gentlest sort

Curfew VIII Ring.

An ancient custom has been revived in
the cities and towns in Canada. This is
the ringing of the curfew. In olden
times the curfew was rung at nightfall,
at which time all fires were covered,
lights eXtinguished, and the people re-
tired to rest. The custom was instituted
in the reign of William the Conqueror.
The act passed at the last session of ldI
lament in Canada is not, however, quite
so strict as-the one of olden times. 1t
provides that at 8 o'clock the curfew
shall be rung, and if any persons under
II years Of age are found on the streets
they shall be locked up by the Waterman
or police. and unless satisfactory eXplana-
ton can be given the parents shall be
made to suffer either by confinement in
Jail OF fine or the sending away Of the
children tosome public institution where
they will be taken care of until the au-
thorities see fit to let them out.-Niagara
