dangerous hurricane by means of in

sensitive the surface of the sea is to
the changes of pressure brought to bear

Green.

Owing to its derivation the word
screen" was originally applied to the
color of vegetation, but not to the color
of the sea. No application of green
to the color of the sea Is quoted before
Chaucer, but as early as the year 100
1t was used for vegetation. The word
Is akin to grass" and grow" which
verb originally belonged to the vegeta-
BILE world alone. Vegetables grew"
but animals "waxed." Green" comes
from an Arynn root, 'ghahr," meaning
to be green or yellow, and yellow"
gold" and "yolk" come from that
same root

The body of Eddie Wilson, who was
drowned in the kennebec river near Old
Point, Madison, has been recovered.
Wilson was native Of Jackman and was
employed on the Ora Gordon section Of
the Kennebec or main drive. AT the
time Of the accident he was at work on a
jam and, as it was the lunch hour, he
Jumped on a single log to join his COM
rades on the shore. The water was
rapid, and it is supposed he struck either
a rock or another log and was thrown
into the water. The current carried him
under the jam, which was the last seen
of him. He was drowned In full view Of
the drivers on shore, who were powerless
to render him aid.
