SIMPLON TUNNEL DELAYED
Inauguration Must Be Postponed for
Lack of Worl<men

Special Gable to The Herald
MILAN, June 24.--It is feared greatly
that the inauguration of the Simplon
tunnel must be indefinitely postponed.
It was fixed for October, but was put
off till December. Now it is stated that
it will be further retarded till May 1t
appears that there are still $50 yards
of tunnel to be lined with masonry and
workmen are lacking, many of those
formerly employed having left the
country. The project of a second par
allel tunnel, work on which should be
begun at once, also has a bearing on
the subject, inasmuch as operations
would affect work on the first tunnel.

ninn Edu,ard,s Many Relatives.

Genealogists who have traced the
plood royal of Britain have found that
people so widely different as Arch.
bishop Temple and Sir Wilfred Law
son are relatives OF the king. There
are 36735 persons whose descent can
be clearly and undisputedly traced to
be Of royal lineage. In addition to
these, nearly double that huge num-
Der has some connecting link more or
less established.
The great family Of Jones have
over 1000 members who come of royal
blood. The Smiths are well repre-
sented; and over 1000 Wilson's are Of
the line. II you are called Churchill
you may safely pride yourself on royal
connection, for nearly the whole Of
that great family are linked, however
remotely, with blue blood. A large
number Of Sandersons have also this
distinction. Another name, with its
variations, which is largely represent
ed in this record total of relatives, is
that of Manners. Equally distin-
gulshed is the great army Of Morleys,
and also Of Valletorts. These names
by no means exhaust the list.

Oriuin Of Gypsies,

The tribes called "gypsies" acquired
the name when they made their first
appearance in England about the be-
ginning of the 18th century. They
we're mistaken for Egyptians even by
men of education, and the common
people finding the word hard to mas
ter corrupted it into "gypsies," a name
that has chung to this peculiar class Of
nomads ever since.
The gypsies had spread over Eu-
rope several centuries before they ap.
peared in England, and an Austrian
monk in describing them called them
the Ishmaelites. BY the peculiarities
OF their language, however, modern
scholars have traced their origin to
India. They were known throughout
the Orient and continental Europe as
metal workers, and the introduction of
metallurgy into Europe, especially of
bronze is attributed TO them by Sir
John Lubbock.
