How Names Grow Un.

We have become so accustomed to
rolling the proper names in our geog-
raphies over our tongues as glibly as We
do our own that few Of us ever stop
to think how much Of history, political,
natural and religious, is wrapped up in
few syllables. How many towns do
you know that end in berg" burg"
"burgh." or borough
Take for the first one Edinburgh. for
instance; how came it by that maize
instead of Stumptown or Hardscrabble!
Let us take the "burgh" out Of the
name first.
"Burgh" means, in England and Scot
land. corporate town. All the English
towns that end in berry" "burrow."
bury" borrow" etc, have that end
ing from "burgh." In the German il
means a castle or fortified town. So
much for our "burgh;" then, In Edin-
burgh. it means the castle or town OF
- whom or what? Here "Edin"
is only Edwin" shortened. and Edin-
burgh, the town Of Edwin. Taking
this one as a model. the study becomes
easy and interesting.

During this interval a trip to the top
OF Pixies Peak is long, difficult, and
at times very dangerous journey. 1t
has to be made on foot, however, and
at frequent intervals by the mem bers
OF the weather bureau, and it is with
the experiences of these officials that
this article treats.
The meteorological station on the
summit of Pixies peak was opened in
1873 by Robert Seyboth, sergeant in
the signal corps of the army, and is
the highest regular meteorological
station in the world. After having
been maintained for about ten wears,
it was abandoned by the government.
When the weather service was trans
ferred from the signal corps to the
agricultural department the new
chief OF the weather bureau, Prof.
Mark W. Harrington, determined to
reopen the station and maintain it in
the most perfect manner possible. To
this end choice instruments, complete
supplies and picked men were sent to
the station, and in the summer of ls9!

and chop that iceberg down, and the
bear would roll over just as easy as
II he wanted to, l tell you"
That was quite an exciting chase,
Billy"
Yes, and we got lots Of bear skins.
you see, and we could eat the bear be
sides. We had plenty Of other things
to eat. like Esquimaux have. There
were tallow candles and whale oil
and blubber and 'pemmican.' / read

any Of those things are as good as
turkey and pumpkin pie, or ice-cream.
And / can't see why arctic explorers
can't have good things 10 eat as well
as other people. | wonder why they
don't take good things with them, so
long as they have to take something or
other"
There may be some secret reasons,
Billy, you see" l began.
"0h, yes-well! Of course We had to
eat those things II the other arctic ex-
plorers did. And then when we got
tired Of hunting bears and Of eating
pemmicans we used 10 make expedi-
tons to the coast TO see II the relief
expeditions were coming yet. You
see. whenever they send out an Arctic
expedition they always send out q re-
lief expedition 10 rescue 1t. And the
relief expedition always comes out the
next spring, and finds that the greater
part Of the Arctic expedition had per-
ished the previous winter Of cold and
hunger"
And is that the way you did,
Billyy'
oh, yes" responded Billy ctnerful-
ly. Arctic expeditions always do that
way, you know. So Of course, we had
to do it too. So when the sailors got
tired Of eating pemmican and tallow
candles they said: Now. | suppose
we'd better perish with cold and hun
ger and some Of the other sailors
said: We'll, you can il you want to.
and the survivors can give your names
to the relief expedition when 1t comes
So the other sailors said: Let'sr and
so they did,
Well, IL that's the end Of them.
Billy. it seems TO me it's about time
oh, they didn't all die, you know"
interrupted Billy, hastily. Some Of
them came back and they showed
specimens Of pemmican and Esqui-
mau dogs in the museums. / saw
them there myself once"
Whether the expedition Is all res
cued or all dead. Billy, or partly res.
cued and partly dead, does not matter.

A STRANGE PROBLEM.
FlnancIers Must Confront the Future OF
Life Insurance.

Life Insurance
1t is not often that the financiers of
New York have to confront a problem
so difficult of solution as that involved
in the existence of what is known as
the Insurance situation.
The insurance situation consists
OF the competition of sever.
al companies all more or
less immense from the point of
view of financial resources, but it is
becoming more and more evident that
some of them must succumb in the
rush for business
The prospect of the dissolution of
three very important corporations is
giving serious concern to numerous
directors. There is at this time a fund
amounting to some millions, which
must be invested in a very short
time to enable one great concern
to go out of business, while
another organization, housed in
magnificent quarters on Broadway, is
trying to arrange favorable terms
with rival for reinsurance
The final result of all this will be
that few huge corporations will, be-
fore many years, have a practical
monopoly of the insurance business
The tendency to consolidation is ire
slstible, and the financial power
welded by the officers Of
these concerns with hundreds of

name was the Snow Bird Don't you
think that was a very good name for
an arctic vessel?"
Excellent. Excellent, Billy"

brown Esquimau dogs. you know, and
we had lots Of Sledges and fur robes
to keep us warm. And donkeys. Well.
we began to sail We sailed and sailed
way up north. And after a while it
began to get colder and colder. And
whenever we saw any land it was coz.
cred with snow. And then, presently.
we began TO meet icebergs floating
along. They were tremendous great
thirgs, like mountains Of ic., YOU know.
And when the pilots saw them coming,
they got scared and said. Captain,
let's get out Of the way Of those ice
bergs" And the other sailors said :
'Yes-let'sr So we did BY and by We
came to the arctic regions, and then
W. began to see the frozen ice and
snow all about us, and at last we came
to the place where the ships always get
ice-bound. We sailed along as far as
we could, and we lodged around ice
bergs and got the ship through cracks
in the ice, and we got along as near
the north pole as people always do
get. But we had to come TO the place
at last where the ships get ice-bound,
and some of the sailors said. Captain,
let's get ice-bOund.' And the other sail
ors said: 'Yes--lets. So We did"
You mean that you thought it was
necessary to do all the proper things.

full not to commit himself. But |

always do So, Of course, we had TO

ters, and we built snow houses and
lived in them all winter Only | never
could tell interposed Billy, how
folks could tell in that country when
1t was winter. Cause if there was
ice and snow on the ground all the

why summer would be just the same,
