An EnyIish Ierand.

The various old legends connected
with places are more easily forgotten
in London than in the provinces. How
many for instance, of the crowd that
swarmed on the banks OF Putney and
Fulham to watch the boat race knew
or recalled the old fairy story which
accounts for the naming of these two
districts? The story goes that two
giantesses were each building a church
ON opposite sides of the river. (and
there stand the churches now to give
vcrisimilitude to the Legend. Between
them they could only muster one ham
mer, so when the Surrey giantess
wished to drive a nail she called to
her friend, Put it nigh" and when
the MiddleseX giantess next dealt with
a nail she shouted, "Send it full home"
Thus the churches and the districts
came TO be known as Fulham and
Putney, while the story goes on to tell
how the head Of the hammer was
broken, so thatthe friends were obliged
TO go in search of a smith, who, being
found, gave the name to yet another
district-Ham nersmitb. This is an
excellent example of the phonetic
method of Interpretation OF names
which is accountable for many inter-
esting legends transmitted to us from
the past.

Rubies In Place of Ashes.

Metals may be burned for the sake
Of the heat and Light they produce,
just as ordinary fuels are burned" ,"
said Professor Roberts-Austen, in a
recent discourse at the Royal Instltu-
tiOn, London. But the burning of
metals, he proceeded to show, differed
from that Of ordinary fuels in that the
products Of combustion are not
gaseous but solid. "The burning Of
aluminium gives sapphires and rubies
in the place Of ashes" An instance of
burning metal for the sake of light is
furnished by the magnesium star"
a contrivance by which a shell packed
with magnesium and attached to q
parachute is fired electrically high in
the air, thus producing an illumina.
ton Of the ground beneath at night.
This finds its use in warfare. Recently
aluminium has been found to be an
admirable fuel for producing IN in.
tense heat to be used In welding. This
kind of metallic fuel has assumed
much industrial Importance at Essen,

Knew the Source of His support.

Speaking Of campaign deceptiOns we
are reminded of an election held in a
Confederate company during the Civil
War. A rather egotistic member de-
cided to run for lieutenancy which
was vacant. The member, whom we
will call Dick, went to his messmate,
whom we viii call Jack, and asked his
help in the election. Jack promised to
work for his friend, and assured him
that he could be elected. When the
ballots were counted Dick found that
he had received only one vote, his op-
ponent receiving all the other votes.
Indignant over such defeat Dick ap.
preached Jack and exclaimed: Il
thought you were my friend and you
promised to electioneer for me-
Answered Jack, composedly: Il am
your friend and l did my level best to
elect you. But the boys who promised
me that they would vote for you went
back ON tleir promises. l, however,
still did my best and put in one vote
for you"
This made Dick madder than ever.

One night at his club a young man

happened into the checker room. and
sat down.
They began a game ard the visitor
failed to get king. Within an hour
he was beaten ten games. 1t went on
this way for three nights without the
stranger winning a single game. Final
ly ne turned to the club member and
asked:
Say, do you know the superintend-
ent of this club?"
"Why?"
"Oh, nawthin, only I'm a-goin' to
lick him. I've licked every superin-
tendent this club has ever had. and I
don't intend to break my rule now.
See?"
We'll, you've got to fight better
than you play checkers If you lick the

The prevalence throughout South
Africa of the optimistic feeling in re-

hardly based on solid facts. The pro-
traction of the conference at Veerinig-
ing is not necessarily hopeful sign.
The delegate, to the conference,
although they have abandoned their
hope Of securing independence, still

the government, while an obstinate
minority continues to regard the re-

any moment these points Of difference
may be accentuated into refusal to
continue the negotiations.
1t is most unlikely that those who
are in favor of peace will throw up the
