NAMES OF FLOWERS.

Ii Is interesting 10 know how certain
flowers received their names. Many
were named after people For In

prd Fuchs. Dahlias were named for
Andre Dahl. who first brought them
from Peru. The camellia received its
name from II missionary named Ku=

magnolia WAS named in honor of Mag.
mol lie Montpelier. Other flower names
are descriptive. Lady's slipper rcsenl-
bles Il tiny slipper The blossoms of
lady's tresses are twisted like braid
of hair The flowers of the foxglove
are like the fingers Of Il glove The
name foXgloye Is said to be Il corrup-
tlon of folks glove" or "fairy's glove"
Aster means star and received its name
from the starlike rays of this flower.
Daisy Is really days eye" DandclIon
means lions tooth. Do YOU think the
name Is appropriate for this notched
rather Jagged flower?
Ancmone means wind flower" The

HOSTING DEVICES.
Machinery That Was Used In Building
the Pyramids.

Hosting machines were used In both
Assyria and Egypt 5000 or more years
ago. III order 10 hoist the great
stones of the pyramids some form of
derrick WAS employed. Probably the
first construction was that which IL
now known TO mechanics rs the shear
legs This is made of two great tim
hers tied together In the form Of Il
capital A, the two ends resting on the
ground and rope heing run over md
attached ai the top
With one of these the pyramid build
crs could have raised large stones step
hy step. which was doubtless their
method. We can imagine we see the
great \ frame leaning over an incline
Of perhaps fifty degrees with n block
Of stone tied ON. Then n great crowd
Of men get hold Of the rope on the
opposite side. perhaps assisted by some
draft oxen. and all strain and pull until
the \ frame stands erect and the stone
IS swung up into the air, where II can
hc pushed into the desired place.
Such II continuance could he used 10
lift stones six or eight feet, which was
sufficient for the construction of the
first pyramid Doubtless better hoist
ing devices were constructed as more
pyramids were huilt.-Circle Magazine

Primary colors are the coors into
which white light is separated by the
dispersion Of Il prism Those named
by Newton are red, orange, yellow,
green, blue, indigo and violet Artists
reduce these TO three, red, yellow and
blue. Scientists generally consider red,
green and blue to represent the prl-

sets of nerves In the retina which can
respond to these three colors. The idea
Of three primary colors Is that from
