Thames. Historians trace this error
to an early attempted division Of the
Latin word Tamesis into two words
Tame esis or Tame isis, suggested per.
haps by the existence Of the Tame in
Buckinghamshire. The Saxons called
it the Thames, ancient maps and docu.
ments designating it Thamesis Fluvius

Bird. That Boat In Their Nests,


"The mother bird sat on her eggs at
the waters edge, and when l ap-
preached she pushed Off with her foot
as though the nest had been n boat,
and away she floated calmly down the
stream"
"What you saw was a rare specta-
cle," said the nature student. 1.-The
bird was grebe, the COLUMBUS minor.
She always builds on the waters edge,
and her nest is always woven of aquat-
lie plants SO closely and firmly that 1t
will float herself and her eggs without
leaking. On the approach of danger
the bird pushes off. Nor is she at the
currents mercy during her voyage.
She uses her foot us a paddle, and l
have seen her steer her boat-nest with
some little dexterity round bend,
landing in quiet cove as well, say, as
the average young lady waterman"

Hardened by sulphuric Acid.

Hardening an ordinary drill in sui
phuric acid, states the English Me-
chanic, makes an edge that will cut
tempered steel or facilitate cutting
hard rock. The acid should be poured
into fiat bottomed vessel to n depth
OF about one-eighth of an inch. The
point of the drill is heated to dull
cherry red and dipped in the acid to
that depth. This makes the point ex-
tremely. hard, while the remainder re-
mains soft. II the point breaks, re-
harden, but with little less acid in
the vessel.
