Wxeh Hazel. Not Witch ha.sk

The correct name for Hamamelis vir-
ginica Is not witch hazel but wych
hazel. Our plant has no connection
with the magic Of the water hunter
The blackthorn Of England, Prunus
spinosa, was the wood used IN these
divinations, or whatever these super
stitious practices may be termed. Ia.
gel had a very wide meaning In the
olden times, and the olm ,s we'll as
the nut now known as such was hazel
One of these elms. now known as u
mus montana, was the favorite wood
for making wyches. or provision
chests, and was therefore known as
the wych hazel. In the present day Il
Is the wych elm. Our hnmamelis re-
cefved from the early settlers the name
OF wych hazel from the resemblance
or the leaves to those OF the wych ha.
zel or elm OF the old world Language
reformers imagining that wych should
be spelled witch are responsible for the
confusion. Wych hazel Is the correct
term for our plant

SPORTS AND THE SPHERE.
Tho Basic Pursuit In Most Games Is
10 Drive a Ball.


Some day there Will arise patient
Investigator who Will work out this
problem, Why are most sports but the
variants of one object, the propulsion
of sphere?
Billiards, baseball. polo, golf, sling
Ing, marbles. squash handball, foot
ball, rackets, cricket, hockey, bagatclle.
tennis, shooting. pelota-the basic pur.
suit In each is to drive bnll, the pro.
pulsion of "A sphere.
Tipcat, shuttlecock and top spinning
are the employment Of notifications OF
the sphere, and archery IL but another
method of propulsion.
1t Is strange limitation Of form
and there must be reason. Those whs
delve into origins may ascribe tie
whole motive of sports to some long
armed, hirsute ancestor who first
threw pebble at fellow cape dwell
cr and found It great fun.
Or It may be poor mortal's attempt
to get In small fashion into the tire.
mendous scheme Of tho universe,
which Is the everlasting movement OF
tho spheres Or It may I've that sports
are framed In Inevitable Obedience TO
some Irresistible law Of nature.
AT any rate the fact IL sports nre
based on the propulsion Of the sphere.
and some one ought To find reason
therefor.-New York American.

RIVER OF SALT WATER
Flows Inland In a Greek island and
Then Disappears,

One Of the most curious phenomena
OF geography Is found on the southern
coast of the island of Ccphalonia. near
Greece. II is n stream " salt water
which for an unknown period has left
the almost tideless sea and flowed In
land with considerable volume.
The sea enters the land ntsfour
points where the coast Is practically on
lcva with the salt water surface
The four initial streams unite to form
the little river that flows inland In a
broken rocky channel until IL finally
disappears In the limestone rock ana
sinks into the earth.
This inland fHw has continued nj.
most certainly for several centuries
