The WORD awIaTER.v

Said 10 Have Originally indicated
Wetness, Not coIdness.
There is a prevailing impression that
there Is something In the word win
ter that signifies cold, and the sea-
son is usually associated with the idea
OF low temperature, but where the
word originated there was little OF
winter as wo understand It, while
there was great deal of moisture at
tho time the earth was nearest to the
sun, so that 1T is not tho temperature
but the atmospheric condition that has
given us the word.
The word "winter," as we use 1t, Is
found with but slight notifications IN
all the branches of the Aryan Ian
euagea for the idea of wetness asso-
clated with the season was given to 1t
before the Aryan family was divided
IL we go to the root of the word we
ind "wad," with the Specification OF to
we'll, to wash out, to moisten or make
wet. Our Aryan ancestors used that
root to apply to all conditions of
moisture, and many words besides
winter have grown out OF 1T wet and
water being among them.
This root "wad" is in the snnskrlt as
'udan," water. Anglo-Saxon has wac
ter" and In Latin we have ''unda,"
wave, from which we get our "inun-
date"
Our Danish and Swedish cousins
changed the "wp into ~" and have
"vinter." In Icelandlc 1t Is "yetir,"
and the old high German has win
tar" and 1t is "wlntor" In German.
These four words are all from the
Teutonic base "wata," which means
wet. SO 1t has been moisture that has
been indicated from the birth of the
root on which all of the different words
in a dozen languages have grown

helps us greatly in diagnosis.
"Gout impnrts to the skin a smell

a smell as of fresh pluckcd feathers.
"The fevers have the most distinc-

ammoniacal: that of Intermittent is

GEsTED By CHILDREN.
h Of The Arsand Lamp and the
Telescope.

lfin Of The Araand Lamp and the
Telescope.
Some OF our most useful mechanical
appliances owe their existence to the
ingenuity of children IN fashloning
their piaythings. Argand, who In
vented lamp with wick fitted into
a hollow cylinder, was one day busy
in his workroom. Sitting before the
burning lamp, his little brother was
amusing himself by placing bottom
less oil flask over different articles
Suddenly he placed It upon the fame
of the lamp, which instantly shot up
the long circular neck of the flask
with Increased brilliancy, Argand did
not allow such a suggestive occur
renee to escape him. The idea of the
lamp chimney almost Immediately
came into his head, and in short
time his invention was perfected.
Tho telescope owes It's origin to
similar occurrence. The children of
Dutch spectacle maker happened to
be playing one day with some of their
fathers glasses In front of the shop
door. Placing two of the glasses to-
gether, they peeped through them and
were exceedingly astonlshed to see
the weathercock of the neigbborlng
steeple brought within short distance
of their eyes. They were naturally
puzzled and called their father to see
the strange sight. When the spec
tacle maker looked through the glasses
he was no less surprised than the
children had been. He went indoors
and thought the matter over. and then
the idea occurred to him that he might
construct curious new toy which
would give people good deal Of
amusement. Not long after the tele.
scope was an accomplished fact.
