WAS decreed that Easter Day should be
kent on the Sunday following the Jewish
Feast of the Passover, which Passover
is kept on the fourteenth day of the jew

prevent all uncertainty, it was made a
rule of the church that the full moon next
to the vernal or spring equinox, should be
taken for the full moon in the month
Nissan, and the 21st of March be ac-

next after, the DIST day of March.
The day is still known as Pascha in the

churches in Europe, the English title OF

scholars have suggested that it had its
origin in the word Eastre, the name given

The Secret of the Birds

In a recent review in Science of a
new book on birds it is stated that
there is as yet no proof that the mus
Giles of birds exert any unusual power;
on the contrary, birds which, like the
larger petrelS, have mastered the prob
lem of sailing flight, not only have
small wing muscles, but have very
little strength in them" If men Of

ORIGIN OF EASTER.
Disputes Which Arose i'm the Early
History of the Church.

The observance of Easter Is connected
with the history of Christianity itself.
And while there has never been any diff
ference of opinion among Christians as
to the general observation of the festival,
in the early church the Asiatics Kept the
feast on the day of the Jewish Passover,
while the western Christians observed it
on the first Sunday after the Passover.
Hence arose great dispute in the Sec
ond century, and Victor, the Bishop OF
Rome. accommodated those churches
which did not keep 1t on the Sunday. The
controversy was brought before the Coun-

authorities can be obtained, to place
these automobile carriages on the
streets Of Paris for hire at the regular
rates now demanded for cabs drawn
by horses. In England the use of horse

Singular Discoveries.

A very strange thing happened to
the Prince of MOnacO's Steamya chit
PrinccsSe Alice, near the island of Ter
ceira in the Azores last summer. The
prince has devoted his yacht to the
study of the ocean and its inhabitants,
and many important facts have thus
been gathered for science. On the
occasion referred to a spcrmwhale, or
cachalot, about forty-fiye feet long,
was harpooned by some fishermen, and
in its dying struggles it made direct
for the Princesse Alice. If it had
struck the little yacht the consequences
might have been very serious, but
Just when the collision seemed in
evitable the whale divcd, and coming
up on the other side of the yacht, turn
ed upon its back in the death-agOny.
At this instant the bodies of three gi-
gantic cephalOpOds-the class TO which
cuttlefishes belong elected from
the whales mouth. These were Sc
cured By boat from the yacht, and
later the bodies of n number of curl
Gus inhabitants of the sea were found

pods belong to a new species. Other
captures that the whale had made
were so interesting as to lead Mr..

mark in n recent number of Nature:
''The cachalot which was killed by
the whalers Of Terceira almost under
the keel Of the Princesse Alice seems
as II it had been guided in the pursuit
of It's food by n desire to devour moth
ing but animals which. up to the pres

CUSTOMS OF EASTER.
It's Eggs and Legends, with Their
Origin and Significance.

As Easter represents a new birth into
the best life of all, it is easily seen how the
pagan idea that the egg was the beginning
of all kinds of life should become purified
in the minds of the typical Offering Of good
wishes and emblematic of pleasant hopes
between believers in the glad Easter Day.
The egg in some form or other has been
the unquestioned type of new life from
the very dawn of the Christian era.
In Russia as early as 1889, eggs colored
red, typifying the blood of Christ shed as
an atonement for our sins, were the most
treasured of exchanges at Easter. Every
believer went abroad at this season with
his pockets well supplied with Easter eggs,
as the society man of to-day attends TO
his well-filled card case. When two Rus
slams met for the first time during the
Easter holidays, if they had not met on
the day itself, the belated Easter compM-
ments were passed, first by solemniy shak-
ing hands in silence; then the elder Tor
the younger, if he out-ranked the elder)
would say: The Lord is risen" and his
companion would reply: 1T is true" then
they kissed each other and tremendously
drew from their respective pockets the
Easter emblem, and exchanged eggs.
The Chinese claim that the world was
formed of the two parts of an enormous
egg. From the yolk of the egg stepped
forth the human being whom they call
oon-too-Wong; he then waved his hand
and the upper half of his late castle, the
egg shell, went upward and became the
concaVe heavens of blue, the lower half
fell reversed, making the convex earth,
and the white albumen became the seas.

About Brains.

Professor Ranlle has recently brought
out new fact concerning the brain Of
man as compared with that of other
animals. 1t has long been known
that the brain of a man does not weigh
a much as that of whale or an ele-
plant, and that there are birds and
apes whose brains are heavier than
mans in proportion to the weight of
their bodies. But Professor Ranke
showed at n recent meeting of the
German AnthrOpolOgical Society that
the way TO reveal the actual superiority
of the human brain is to compare its
weight with that of the spinal cord.
Measured in this way, mans brain Is
proportionately far heavier than that
of any of the lower animals.
