ORIGIN OF SUNDOG.
The Expression Finds Place In Several
Well Known Dictionaries.

IA great many persons the term "sun-
dog will appear strange and curious and
will probably suggest an inquiry as to its
meaning. Yet the word has a vogue and
is recognized to the extent of claiming
position in several of the best known of
our dictionaries. According to the Incy-
clopedia Dictionary, sundog is, in me
neurological sense, "a luminous spot some
times visible Il few degrees from the sun
1t is believed to be formed Ivy the intcrsec-
ton OF two or more halos. "
In the periodscNl called Notes and Que
ries'' of Oct II Mast year there appeared an
excerpt from the isle of Wight Mercury
wherein writer describes the phenome-
non on its first prescntment to him: "The
sun was shining brightly on our right
hand and lighting up Il range of downs on
our left. Behind these downs Il large mass
of black clouds were illumined by frequent
flashes of vivid lightning, when what APP
peared like Il fire halloOn-only, of course,
with much more powerful light, as there
was strong sunlight-was seen travelling
slowly in front of the black clouds against
the wind and apparently going out to sea
in front of us We-for the others in the
coach saw it also-howevcr unfortunately
lost sight of it at a turn i'm the road and
day to the boatman at the bay and he then
called it. 'sIinhound' or 'sundog, and said
that it was "a light effect only, but was I'M
able to tell me anything else. "
Several contributions appeared Mt sub
sequent date in the same periodical rela-
tive to the term. and from them it would
appear "sundog' is by no means uncom-
mon MS name for the phenomenon de
scribed above. In Wright's Provincial
Glossary 'sundog" is described as of Nor
folk vogue, but probably the range is
wider. "Sunhound, - its congener, Wright
Localities as belonging to the southern dis
trict of England Mr.. Edward Peacock,
who writes to Notes and Queries with ref
erencc thereto. mentions it as Lincoln
shire term and describes it as "a false sun
that is, an appearance like "a somewhat
cloudcd san near the real luminary"
"Thcse thing, generally, but not al
ways. writes Mr. Peacock appear in
pairs on the right and left of the true
sun. - Among sailors short and detached
pieces of rainbow were called sundogs,
which were generally regarded by them as
precursors of dirty weather. But the es-
scnce of the subsequent contributions in
the periodical named is contained in a
communication from the pen of Professor
TomlinSun, who goes more into detail, and
as IL scientists speaks with some authority.
The article is too long to reproduce here,
but it may suffice to say that. according to
the writer named, the term is merely u
happy 90 lucky guess which the phenomc-
non might suggest to an observer, and that
the thing itself is due to dcdrical dis
charges in connection with lightning, as
ball lightning -Pittsburg Dispatch.

Chancellor Walworth. according to Mr..
Clinton, was responsible tor the abolition
of the chancery court in New York state.
He interrupted counsel continually, his
interruptions often becoming IA discursive
and aggavating warfare on the pleader.
On one occasion II lawyer commenced to
argue case before him. He had hardly
begun when the chancellor interrupted,
telling him that he had brought his action

in IL different way, which he specified. The
lawyer replied that nc did not feel at liber-

Bile to the subject He said he could find
no authority in favor of the course which
the chancellor had suggested. The latter,
with no little impatcnce, said, "Thcn you
should have retained counsel who would
'have advised you to bring the action as l
have suggested. 80 The lawyer replied

JAMAlCA'S BANANA KING.
He Was Yankee Skipper and First SNp-

Something over 20 years ago New Eng
land skipper used to make several trips a
year from Boston to the northern ports of
Jamaica and would return to Cape Cod
bay, his fleet schooner laden with bananas,
for which he found ready and remunera-
tive sale
Other vessels were added to the business,
which grew and prospered and soon be-
came too important longer to depend upon
the uncertain winds, and steamers replaced
the schooners.
Bananas were offered in quantities great

SPANISH TAXATION.
IkUSS OF THE REVOLT IN THE PHIL
lPPlNE ISLANDS.

ingenious Methods of Squeezing Money
out of the Thrifty islanders Charac-
teristics of the Natives-American In
terests In the Islands.
The people who are trying to throw off
the Spanish rule in the Philippine islands
make up n race whose counterpart is found
I'm no other corner of the world mestizos,
the Spanish call them. The name was at
first scornfully applied and indicates their
half breed descent.
When Magellan discovered the islands in
1921, he found that the aboriginal island
ers, now called Negritos, had been con-
qucrcd by the Malays, who had captured
and enslaved many of them and driven tho
rest back into the interior of the islands
After their conquest the Malavs began an
active trade with China, and many Chi
nese came to live among them.
Then came the Spaniards, who within
90 years took possession of one island after
the other. At that time Spain was queen
of the seas. and her armed adventures were
carrying everything before them. They
had not much difficulty in wrestling the
islands away from the Malays, although
the latter gave them not a little trouble to
hold them. As for the Negritos the Span
iards completely ignored them. In fact,
they could not do otherwise. for the ma
tivcs had firmly established themselves in
their forest stronghold, and then, as today,
it was death for any white man or stranger
to penetrate into the interior beyond few
miles. Armed with poisoned arrows then,
as now, the aborigines defied the intruders
to come in and get them, at the same time
prudently declining to come out and be
slaughtered.
Soon after the Spanish settlement of the
islands they found that new race of pco-
pie had developed there These were the
half breeds, sons of Chinese fathers and
Malay mothers. At first the Spanish
looked down ON them with great contempt,
but the class grew to one Of large num-
bcrs. and, by and by, the name mestizos
was one not to he ashamed of in the Phil
ippines. Even the Spuniards. falling into
oriental ways, found themselves the par
ents of mestizos and today the half
breed element is the best in all the Phil
ippines.
Physically and mentally the mestizos
are the supcriors of the Spanards, the
Chinese or the Malays. In them the best
characteristics of each of the three races
seem to have been blended. This is no
new or strange occurrence, as the same
