TROPICAL TITBITS.
Some of the Native Dishes That Are
Served In Jamaica.

Served In Jamaica.
In Jamaica, as everywhere else,
there are two ways to do things. There
is the beaten track Of the tourist to
follow, with its hotels of varying ex-
cellence. conventional drives and all
that sort of thing. To know the island
and the allurements of its ingratiating
tropical beauty, however, TO appreciate
the double interest of British resident
customs, together with the quaint Oddi-
ties of the negro native life next to
the earth,'' one must travel q different
course Courtesy to visitors to the is
land is everywhere manifest. There
are native dishes that no hotel on the
island can make to taste so good.

Zephxr. Cipher and Zero.

Zephyr" and cipher" and Zero"
are words that come to the English
from the Arabic "sifr," which meant
literally empty" and so nothing" and
the figure that represents nothing. In
medieval Latin this figure was called
both 'ciphra" and ''zephyrum," the lat
ter probably from association with 'Ze
phyrus'' or something even lighter
than air; hence through the Italian
''zefiro'' there is the word Zero" as

Death OF MIR. J.. Nye Duval

While walking along the tracks of the
Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington
Railroad Company, Mr.. l.. Nye Duval.
about 35 years old, salesman employed by
the Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company,
was struck and instantly killed between
Calverton Station and the Franklin street
bridge by northbound passenger train
shortly after p. m. Tuesday His body
was fearfully mangled.
Mr.. Duval was the son of Mrs. George
Washin gton Duval, of this county. His
father has been dead about four years.
About five years ago young Duval came
to Baltimore, and while here on visit
made the acquaintance of Miss Jarboe at
a reception on St. Paul street. The ac-
auaintance grew into close friendship
and three years ago three were married.
Mr.. Duval at that time was engaged as
a travelling salesman for an uncle, Mr..
Charles Duyal, in the wholesale tobacco
business. He resigned his position with
this firm about a year ago and went with
the Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company
He was well liked and had large num-
Der of friends. All of his friends were
aware of the fact that he was Respondent
and they endeavored to cheer him up
with encouraging words, but their efforts
were unavailing.

What the New Year Means.

To look at the pretty calendars which
are so plentiful at this season one would
think that the beginning and ending of
days and years were simple matters, but
a chat with an astronomer proves that
such is not the case.
There are more kinds of days and
months and years than most men know
of. Just when each kind begins and ends
is too much of a problem for most OF the
astronomy lovers of the city to answer
off hand One of them seen recently said
he feared another ordinary year would
roll round before he had time to figure
out the progress of the other kind.
There are three kinds of years known
to astronomers and used by them-the
sidcreal year, the anomalistical and the
tropical or equinoctial year.
The latter year is the one in general
use. 1t is given the preference over the
others because it adheres to the rotation
of the seasons. The seasons depend on
the equinoxes of the sun. Each year the
equinox moves 50/ 2" toward the west,
and thus the tropicsl year is 20 minutes
shorter than the sidereal year. 1t is S65
DAYS hours 48 minutes and As seconds.
Roughly, it is considered as 3644 days.
1t will be seen tina: the true length of
the year is II minutes and II seconds less
than 3654 days. That is the reason Pope
Gregory, under the advice of H. Clavius,
his astronomical adviser, decreed that
only such century years should be leap
year as are divisible by 400. When in
1890 there was no leap year, the day thus
cut off helped to balance the old minutes
and seconds which had been due at the
end of each year of the century.
The sidereal year, which from the M
chanical point of view is the true year,
is the time occupied by the sun in com
pleting the circuit of the sky from q
given star backagain. Its length is 565
days hours minutes and seconds.
The anomalistic year is the time be.
tween two successive passages of the
nearest point of the earth to the sun. 1t
is longest of all others-365 days hours
13 minutes and AZ seconds.
That this new year is l, 907 years since
the birth of Christ is not matter of &C
tual fact. 1t was about 500 years after
the time of Christ that His birth was
chosen as point for reckoning the years
in the Bible, and the guess at it made by
Dionysius Exigons, Scythian monk, and
accepted by chroniclers for many centur-
les has in recent years been proved
erroneous to the extent of at least four
years, and probably many more.

New Laws Now in Force.

Tuesday marked the beginning of the
life of several legislative acts of Congress
important alike to the nation as whole
and to the citizens of the District of Col
umbia. These are the Free Alcohol law,
the Pure Food law, the anti-pass section
of the Interstate Commerce law, the
modification of tho navigation laws to
simplify enrollments and licenses and a
law with reference to the licensing of
of druggists in the District of Columbia.
The Pure Food law contemplates the
barring from interstate commerce of
foods that are injurious to health and the
Free Alcohol law is intended to assist
farmers and small users of power to have
a fuel that in efficiency and cost shall be
cheaper than gasoline or kerosene.
The anti-pass provision of the Inter
state Commerce law, forbids common car
riers, directly or indirectly, giving int er
state free tickets or passes for passen-
gers, except to their employees and tami
lies, the agents of the carriers and their
surgeons, physicians and attorneys, to
persons engaged in religious and charta-
BILE work and to certain Other specified
classes.

In MenlOrian.

Mr. William B. Wilson, a most respect
ed citizen of Groom, in this county, de-
parted this life on the LIST day of January,
1907.
Mr.. Wilson was for long time and at
the time of his death leader of the Dem
ocratic party in Nottingham district, and
was always called upon and consulted in
regard to matters in Nottingham district
and the county.
He was loving and kind husband and
father and was we'll thought of and re-
spected by all who knew him He had
host of friends who will mourn his
loss.
In the late election in 1905 he came
within 20 votes of being elected Road
Commissioner in this, the strongest Re
publican road district in this county,
showing the appreciation Of his friends
to his sterling qualities of mind and
heart. His loss will be very much felt
and the vacancy caused by his death will
be very hard to fill.
The funeral was held on Wednesday
at - o'clock. at st. Thomas Church,
Groom -Gazette.
