Bolivar brought back with him from England
the old Venezuelan patriot Francisco Miranda

ended in his exile. 1t may be pointed out here
that this act of BOlivar's is proof of the unset

activity might we'll have been expected to place
him entirely in the background. Conditions in
Venezuela like those in this country
at the beginning of the War for Independence:
patriots and loyalists were arrayed against
each other, and within the ranks of the revoIu-
tiOnaries there were doubt, hesitation and much
confusion Of counsels. A first campaign under
Miranda's leadership fought successfully;
Bolivar won his spurs in it. and constitution
for a federal republic was drawn up at Caracas

FRENCH N4NES.


NJ A. BertilIOn. founder of the anth-opo-
metricaI system. has recently been engaged in
researches the object OF which was 70 show what
are the proper names most often met with in
France. After careful study and a comparison
of the numerous documents at his disposal ~
BertillOn drew up a list giving various names in
the order of their frequency. Thus We find that
for every 4J2 Martins there are 3d. Levys SG4
Petits, 246 MoTeaus. IA Dubois, 80 Sm0ns
234 Durands. 21S Leroys. 215 Lefevres. ais

Lamberts. 49, Roberts. Isl people who bear the
name of Thomas, 11S Legrands an equal num-
112 Nichels. This list applies only to Paris. bI
we must go to the various provinces of France
to find the places of their origin.
To trace them back to their original source
Nj. BertillOn took q map of France and placed
each group in its native district. and this was
the result. He found that all the Martins came
either from the Savoy Alps or from Lorraine:
the PetitS from the Disc. the SOmme and the
Pas de Calais; the MOreauS from the NieVre
the SimCns from Meurthe-et-Noselle, and the
Lefavres from the industrial centres from Cal
Not q single Lefeyre was met with in the Midi
