American Geographical Names.

America can show many geograph.
ical names taken from novels. Califor-
MIA comes from the name of a fairy
kingdom in Spanish romance of the
early sixteenth century. The Antilles
take their name from Antiglia, an i'm
aginary island figuring in Italian leg
ends connected with the wanderings
of st. BrenGan, and marked in the lati-
tude of the SargaSSo sea on Catalan
and Genoese Portulani of the thir-
teenth and fourteenth centuries. Mont
real is by some said to take its name
from a legendary castle mentioned in
French romances of very early date.
The island of Barataria, lineally de-
scended from Sancho PanZas mag
mary governorship, also figures on the
maps of Louisiana, while 1t is moot
question whether the strait of Juan de
Fuca does not take its name from a
historical geographical romance, 10
Rider Haggard. devised by a Greek
sailor of Queen Ellzabeth's day for
the benefit Of her majesty's resident at
Venice and his own pocket. II Brazil"
is found in early Irish legend as an
island in the Atlantic, and 1t Is moot
question whether the empire of Brazil
derives its name from this creation o.
the Celtic fancy or from wood from
which dye resembling in color burn
ing cinderS was made.

SnYnges and SnuH.

The habit of snuff taking has been
confirmed among savage tribes for
ages past In South Africa it is used
among SwaZis, Basutos and Matabeles.

carved out of sleeps bone, often or
namented with intricate geometrical
designs and for convenience carried
hanging downward thrCngh a slit in
the lobe of the ear. The Zulu regards
the lobe of his ear as useful recep-
table for various small articles he
meets with. The umfaan, or house boy,
universally met with in Natal, has a
penchant for safety pins, which have
to be carefully hidden from his sharp
eyes. Even then he is usually to be
seen, after going through the rooms,
with a string of these pins suspended
from each ear until they reach his
shoulders.

the moving roadway for teams recent.

traffic over bridge. This roadway is
APO feet in length and rises to a height
of siXty-tve feet Electricity is used
for the motive power in operating it.,

of 600 vehicles n day. The spectacle
Of the constant stream Of vehicuar
traffic as it passes almost noiselessly
and without visible effort on the part
of the horses over the moving roadway
Is unique and fascinating.

THE ONION CROP.
Onions Doing Fairly Well In Com.
merciaI Districts.

The new onion crop in the CONNER.

States for the most part is progressing
satisfactorily. 1t is evident that condi.
tons eastward, including New York
and New England, are averaging rela-
lively better than in the central west.
ern states of Michigan, Wisconsin, In.
diana and Illinois. In the latter sec.
tons rainfall has proved too abundant
this season, and many correspondents
of American AgriculturiSt say that Sc.
rious damage has been accustomed on
account of Il portion of the crop being
washed out. This has neccssitated con.
siderable reSeeding in some sections.
This is noted particularly in onion
growing districts of Indiana.
While giving full weight to damage
sustained through excessive moisture,
allowance should he made for the sub
stantial increase in acreage in many
parts of the west rs compared with
last years paintings. In parts of
Michigan the season has proved so wet
that full acreage could not be put
out, and in those sections we find an
exception to the general expansion.
The Ohio Onion Fields.
The Ohio onion fields have also suf-
fered somewhat from the wet season,
yet Hardin county growers say with
good weather the outlook is fairly
good. Reports from other parts of the
Buckeye State are somewhat irregular.
yet many claim the crop as a whole is
promising. In Wayne county low tracts
are said to he in worse shape than Il
year ago, but our correspondents say
better weather might change the situa-
ton entirely. In Clark county the
plants are healthy ana very promis-
ing. Weeds are abundant in Erie and
Trumbull counties, but recently the
crop has done well.
In New York and New England.
The outlook in New York is better
than last year This feature is pro
bounced in tie famous Orange county,
where a decided increase in the acre
age is the rule. The CanaStota fields

weedy, but nevertheless show up bet

reports tell of the presence Of both
maggots and smut and complain Of
weeds to some extent, but in spite Of
this the outlook in the state gives more
promise than it did this time last sum

About the miUdic OF the seventeenth
century Isaac de la IeErcre, in an odd
little volume entitled The Pre-Adam-
ties" attempted to prove that there
were two creations of men-the first on
the sixth day of the week of creation,
when God created man male and fe-
male" The rabbits interpret the above
passage of holy writ as meaning that
the first race of human beings were
creatures in which both SEXES were
united in the same individual Accord

His followers were called "Pre-Adam-

came so strong that the founder of the
sect was compelled to go to Rome and
