Why The B|uenose?
NOVA scorlANs NOT FOND OF BE-
ING so CALLED.
Name, However, Has Stuck to Them
Since Time Out Of Mind-some
Explanations AZ to lts
ORIGIN.

Those who dwell in the Canadian
province of Nova Scotia are called
bluenoses. The name has stuck to
them since time out Of mind, but how
they came to get It Is a matter Of con-
lecture. One thing is certain-they
don't like 1t.
Nova Scotians pride themselves on
their English ancestry, and some will
offer the suggestion that the name is
token that the blue blood shows.
When the French we're driven out Of
Acadia the fertile lands they vacated
were taken up by English colonists,
chiefly from Massachusetts,.
The spirit Of revolt was strong then
in Boston and elsewhere in New Eng
land. Those who were loyal to the
king and taxes found 1t good oppor-
tunity to move, and from these loyal
lists Acadia was largely repeopled.
It may be that the blue blood shows
and that the name Is a badge of
honor, but most Nova Scotians don't
believe 1t, for they feel that 1t is a
term of reproach.
why bluenose?" was the question
put to one young woman whose home
isn't far from Nova Scotia.
Why, after the bluenose potatoes,
Of course" she said, "and think it's
mean to name people after potatoes"
Now, it's true that next to apples
potatoes form the greatest product of
the rich Nova Scotian soil. And it's
also true that the bluenoses is the
bright particular star among the varie-
ties Of potatoes they raise in Nova
Scotia.
But the potatoes were named for
the people. not the people for the po-
tatoes. It's a simple question OF
chronology.
You explain 1t carefully to the young
woman and she says: How silly of
me-" but you can see with half an eye
that you haven't convinced her.
Here's another guess. Being the
third and last, maybe it's the right
one. At any rate it's the one generally
! accepted In that part of the American
world known as Down East
1t is cold in Nova Scotia, mighty
cold, for six months out of every 12
and the Nova Scotian nose peeking out
from the furs and wooden muffiers
first gets red and then turns blue as
the icy breath of the north nips 1t.
But, however it is, the easiest way
to put the Nova Scotia nose out OF
| Joint Is to dub it bluenose.

Extraordinary Lightning Stroke.

Prof. A. Herschel. in the Quarterly
Journal of the Royal Meteorological
society for October last. describes the
extraordinary effects produced by
lightning in the midst Of an open
moor in Northumberland. A hole four
or five feet in diameter was made in
the fiat, pesty ground, and from this
half a dozen burrows extended on all
sides. Pieces Of turf were thrown in
various directions, one three feet In
diameter and foot thick having fall
en- IS feet from the hole. Investga-
ton showed that in addition to the eff.
fects visible on the surface. small
holes had been bored in the earth
radiating from the large excavation.
