E.ondon street Names.

About the origin and meaning of Lon
don street names there is much that is
curious and interesting. Some of them,
savs the Boston "Globe," are taken from
+he names Of previous owners or occu-
piers Of property in the neighborhood.
while others are derived from signs OF OLD
inns. and others, again. are due to former
monasteries and churches.
In Mincing Lane, for instance, was once
4 convent of Minchuns, the old English
Feminine for Monk; the Minories was the
site of the old Convent of st. Clara, the
INNS of which were called "Sorores
Minores." and came to be known as
Miles Lane is a corruption of st.
Michaers Lane; Mark Lane for Mart
1narkeD Lane; Sermon Lane for Sher-
omonier Lane, the locality of the schere-
moneyers.'' who sheared or clipped bull
lion into shape fer coming at the eX-
| change near by; Size Lane for st. Osyth's
Lane: Gutter Lane for Guthrun Lane,
from a Dane who owned property there.
Crutched Friars is. in memory, Of the
crutched or crossed friars, so called from
the red cross on their robes.
That Jane Shore died in a ditch. az
Shoreditch is only a pathetic legend IN
vented to account for the name of that
locality-really derived from John de Scr
dich. lord In 1913 OF what was then q SUI
hurban village.

MR.. F0WLBR's PLANS.
Looking Over the Engineers stan
Preparatory To Changes.

Mr.. L. Dennis Fowler, the recently APP
pointed chief of the Engineering Bureau,
paid a visit to that departm ent this
morning, and the assistants in that office
had each a sensation of cold chills creep
ing up his back. Whose read is to fall
into the basket?'' was the question upper
most.
The new chief was asked if he intended
to make many changes, and what they
We're, but he replied that at present he did
not know what changes he would make.
He has, however, the payroll of the
bureau, and he has gone carefully through
it, and in a few days he will make known
his plans.
Mr.. Fowler says the office must be made
efficient in every particular, and only
those who are competent to do the work
can hope either to remain or be, appointed.
There are to be no sinecuIes and no

bergen Republicans Pass R~esolutlonn
ON the boulevard Light Question.
The Boardso Governors of the Bergen
Republican Club held an important BUSH
ness session at the close of the regular
club meeting at the clubhouse last night.
A resolution was adopted vigorously de-
nouncing the Board of F~reebooters forsits
recent action in soliciting bids for the
electric lighting of the Boulevard. Several
speakers freely criticized the contem-
plated move and declared it a shame that
the county should be obliged to acknowl-
edge its inability to maintain the plant
and be compelled to award the contract
for the maintenance of the same to a
private corporation. The secretary was
directed to prepare a petition to the vari-
Gus clubs OF the county urging them to
take action against this, to say the least,
WI move. 1t vas urged that aside
from the matter OF additional expense it
would be wrong to establish the precedent
of giving out contracts for work which
should be directly under the care of the
county's representatives.
Considering their party's rcce..r ssee
which usually affects attendance at Lu-
liticaf club meetings, the attendance at
the regular meeting was very large and
considerable interest was manifested.
John p. Landrine made a spirit
address on the work for the future and
urged devotion to the party.

There is very little danger III the wheel
20 men. according to the learned men
OF medicine, us they can stand more
violent exercise than members OF tho
weaker sex. and thus, even If they
should carry 1t to excess, the effects will
not DC felt so kecnly and possibly not at
all. l'ut the doctors all agree that Il
woman should be very careful in riding
and should not undergo the strain Of
climbing even moderately steep hills
Their bicycles should be equipped IN tho
most comfortable lnanncr possible.
otherwise the effects OF riding will be
exceedingly injurious.
The saddle OF the wheel is the vital
point, say the physicians. and more care
should be given to the selection Of this
part than to, color Of enamel, make OF
tires, gear. pedals. etc. Those diseases
that are attributed to the wheel. and
evidently caused by It's use, can be
traced TO the saddle in almost every in
stance. Many SO.callud anatomical sad
dies have been invented and put upon
the market and IN some cases have
proved beneficial, but it would seem
that the ideal seat, meeting alike the re-
uulremcntS OF health and the taste OF
the riders, has not yet been found. II
IS SAID to be very important indeed
