EARLY Names of Animals.

Among the many names for cattle
none is commoner than those which
come from the roots mu and blu, ito
below" Hence we have the Akkadian
am, bull" the Turkic en-ek, "cow;"
the Egyptian am, cattle" and the
Mongol buku, bull" but a more dis
tinctive word is tor, which seems to
mean probably horned" and which
appears not only as taurus, but as the
Semitic thor and the Mongol shor.
The bull, whether tanned or wild, was
no doubt well known to early man.
The names for goats are also sugges-
tive of connection and include the Ar
yam ais, the Semitic az and probably
the Akkadian w.
For sheep perhaps the oldest word is
the Egyptian ba, but there is u word
for lamb which seems to be widely
distributed, as the Semitic kar, the
Greek kar and the Finnic kari, proba-
bly, from the root kar, to Enclose" or
guard" as meaning herded flock.
From the same root come words for
pasture, no doubt allied.-Scottish Re

The woodchuck.

Perhaps no wild animal is more IA
miliar to country people than the wood
chuck. Every hillside and meadow is
dotted with the small piles of earth
which mark the doorway to his home.
The woodchuck prefers hillside or n
knoll In which to dig his hole, for here
he can easily make the end of his den
higher than the beginning. thus avoid
ing the danger of being drowned out
What could be more unlike in general
appearance than Il woodchuck and a
squirrel? Yet they are cousins. both
belonging to the same family of man.
mails The trim body, sharp claws and
agility of the squirrels make it possi-
BILE for them to lead an arboreal life,
jumping recklessly from branch to
branch, while the flabby form and
short legs of the woodchuck better
adapt him for digging than for run
ming or climbing.
The nature of the food of the wood
chuck is such that he cannot lay up
stores os the chipmunks do. nor is it OF

.sNUB FOR THE MANUFACTURERS
None of the Coal Road Men Show Up for a
Conference.

Philadelphia. Oct. 9.-The visit to
ing the National Association of Manu-
facturers for the purpose of comforting
with the presidents of the anthracite
coal-carrying roads appears to have
been fruitlesS. The committee arrived
here early yesterday and spent the
greater part of the day at the Manu-
facturers' club awaiting the appear
ance of the presidents. but none of the
latter answered, in person. at least,
the request of the committee for n
conference. Then the committee issued
a statement that it would meet again
Oct IA, and that was all.
After the members of the commit
tee had breakfasted they dispatched
a messenger to the office of President
Baer, OF the Reading company, an
nouncing that they were ready to meet
the operators. The nature of Baer's
reply is not known but i'm answer to
question the railroad president said: Il
know nothing about a committee" He
declined to make any further state
ment
President Parry said invitations to
meet the committee had been sent to
all of the presidents who had met
President Roosevelt last week and that
favorable replies had been received
three of them. He would not. how
ever, divulge their names. During the
afternoon President Parry said: 1--WE
were in hopes of meeting the operators
today. but owing to the short notice
they received they were unable to be
present"
