Completed by Flames.

Rome, Jan. ga special train left
yesterday for Civita Vecchia, with the
American relief party, headed by Am
bassador Griscom, on board.
They will sail for Messina on board
the steamer Bayern, chartered to con-
vey the American relief to the south.
The party includes William Hooper
of Boston; Nelson Gay of Boston;
John Elliott, Wilfred Thompson and
score of other Americans, including
doctors and nurses. Mrs. Griscom,
Mrs. Gay and Mrs. Elliott accompany
the relief workers as far as Civita
Vecchia.
Goes to Messina Strait.
The ambassador is going only as
far as the Strait of Messina, where
he will start the Bayern on it's work
of relief. He will meet Admiral Sper.
ry, who is coming from Port Said, on
board the flagship Connecticut, in the
strait, and return with the Connect
cut to Naples. The American battle,
ships following the Connecticut north
will be placed at the disposal of the
Italian authorities.
Before his departure Mr.. Griscom
thanked the stationmaster here and
the railroad officials for their courtesy
in facilitating the journey of the re
lief party.
Earthquakes Still Continue.
Messina, Jan. 8. - Earthquake
shocks are still continuing here at
the rate of about ten per hour. Fire
also has again broken out, completing
the destruction of the city hall and
the records stored therein.
A party of men under the direction
of Maj. Lands, the American military
attache at Rome, has been working
for four days to extricate the bodies
of A. S. Cheney and his wife from the
ruins of the American consulate. The
apartment of the Cheneys has not yet
been uncovered, and many feet of
wreckage still remain to be removed
Seek Tidings of Americans.
Bayard Cutting, Jr., Winthrop
Chanler and Stuart K. Lupton, Ameri-
can consular representatives, are ma
king every effort to trace Americans
supposed to have been in the earth
quake zone at the time of the disas-
ter, but SO far without success.
The authorities have determined to
isolate Messina as the only means of
preventing an outbreak of serious i'll
ness. The relief parties complain that
the starving refugees refuse the most
nutritious food and want only mac.
aroni. The work of the soldiers in
Messina to-day consists principally in
gathering up dead bodies and burying
them in trenches between layers of
quicklime.
Take Living from Ruins.
The search for survivors is still 60
ing on, and seven living persons were
taken from the ruins. The majority
of those now found alive are children
and elderly people, who evidently did
not expend their energies in vain eff
forts tc free themselves.
The policy of clearing Messina was
inaugurated with the refusal of the
authorities to furnish people with food
unless they agreed to embark for
transportation elsewhere. This has
been done to discourage peasants COM
ing down from the mountains to take
advantage of the free distribution of
rations.

How The Week Days Got Their
Names.

Formerly the days of the week were
numbered one, two, three, four, five and
six, beginning with the Sabbath. Even
now the custom prevails still among
certain modern Greeks, the Slavs and
the Films. Many old fashion and ortho-
dox Quakers, particularly in the North
of England, still hold to this custom,
which was the common one in the days
of the Apostles and down to the fourth
century, as we'll as among the Jews
and Arabs. The orthodox Quakers
use the numerical system in preference
to the ordinary on the ground that the
gods and goddesses, from which the
names were taken, were not of the high
est responsibility in point of morals.
The week was originally only coDven-
lent equator Of the lunar month; hence
began on Monday or Moon day. The
Italians still call Monday the first and
Sunday the seventh day of the week.
Tuesday is derived from the Morse Tiw,
who corresponded to Mars, the God of
War, most respectable person in the
eyes of Quakers. Thursday was Thor's-
day, Thor being a god warrior, who
was morally, no better than be ought to
be. Wednesday again was Woden's day
Wooden being the god of battles.
The Romans called this day Mercury's.
Friday was supposed tObe the luckiest
day of the week-for women. 1t was
called after Morse Frija, the goddess of
love, and is the day for weddings. For
the pagan Romans it was also the day
of Venus, though the Christian Romans
called the day ill.lucky because Christ
had been crucifed on that day. Sat-
urday was called after Saturn and Sun
day was known to the Christians as
resurrection or Sunday.
The week of seven days was imported
from Alexandria into Greece, and into
Italy about the time of Christ. The
Greeks had previously divided their
month into sets Of ten days, the Romans
into sets of eight days, three and half
sets being equal to one month.-Ex
