Daily Gold Output

The worlds gold output has reached an average of about $1,- 250, 900 for each day of the year, and of the total the Transvaal mines furnish upward of one third, says the London cores pondent of the New York Sun. Every week throughout the year between S2, 100000 and S3,00O,- GOO worth of the metal in bars, varying from 400 to 1000 ounces, is sent to London.
 The bars are paid into the local South African banks and the various mining companies are credited with the value. the gold being worth approximately S2O.67 per ounce. The banks then undertake the shipment of the bars, which go down to Cape town each week and arrive at Southampton seventeen days later.
 As the Cape boats generally arrive at Southampton on Satur, day morning, the gold IS sent uI at once and taken, to the Bank of England for safe keeping till Monday, when the bars are ta ken out of the vaults and handed over to the refnerS.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

 by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portions Of the ear. There is only one way to cure deaf ness and that is by constitutional rem edies. Deafness is caused by an in famed condition of the mucuous lin ing of the Estachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, deafness is the result, and unless the inflmation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which Is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucuouS surfaces.

Origin Of ArizOna's
 Name is a Mystery

W uSlO OOCO AV NObAO AA NA1 eS~N> what does it mean?
 How many members of the constitutional convention now in session in Phoenix can give the true origin of the name of the new state for which they will make the great charter?
 During q recent visit to Min nesota a prominent Arizonan was asked by the state historian the foregoing question. The Arizo- na man had an idea, but it did not satisfy the Minnesota history sharp, at whose request the Ari- zonan started an investigation which led him through many volumes, and as a result of which he gleaned a lot of valuable in- formation about nearly every thing under the sun except the derlyation of the name Arizona.
 Of the various sources given, none go to fundamentals, and the word is not given sufficient root to cause it to stand alone and unsupported by any of them.
 United States Geological Sur vey Bulletin No. 197 says: 1.-The word means ard zone, 8 desert. Mowry claims that the name IS Aztec from Arizuma, signifying silver bearing"
 The Century Encyclopedia of Names says: "Arizona-said to be a corruption of Pima or Pap ago 'Orlison,' meaning little creeks. ,"
 Sylvester Mowry, in his "Ari- zona and Sonora" says: ''The name Arizona is undoubtedly de- rived from the Aztec. In the original it is Arizuma, and the change is a corruption into the present word, which is accepted as Spanish. We have no decid. ed information as to it's meaning, but the impression among those who have been curious enough to investigate is that it signifies silver bearing This impress sion gains strength from the fact that the Arizona mountains are very rich in silver, and that a tradition of 8 silver mine called La Arizona, of incredible rich ness, still exists among the Mex ican- people near the frontier of the territory"
 Bancroft, in his History of the Pacific States" says; "Ari- zona-probably Arizonac in its original form-was the name given by the natives to locality on the modern frontier of Sono- ra, and was known from just before the middle of the elght- eenth century as the name of the mining camp or district where the famous bolas de plata were found. It is still applied to a mountain range in that vicinity"
 It will be seen by the forego- ing references that there is a wide divergence of opinion, eveu among the authorities, as to the origin of our name. Colonel J. H. McClintock, an historian of no mean ability himself, inclines to the theory that the word Ari' zona, as applied to this part oi the southwest, originally meant "Arid Zone," and he points out that the difference in spelling is of no consequence, inasmuch as our forbears knew little of syn tax, grammar or spelling, as ev idence Chaucer, whose system is still the bogie of all high schoo . students.

Who Are the
 Real Democrats?

There is trouble in the ranks of the Arizona democracy, and the "great party of the common people" Copyright applied for) seems to be in peril of being split in two over the formation of the constitution of the new State of Arizona-manana! A portion of the democratic. press of the ter ritory, chief among which is the Arizona Democrat of Phoenix, is devoting columns of space to roasting sundry delegates in the convention-especially Delegate Winsor of Yuma county. They are railed at as socialists and radicals, who will accomplish the adoption of constitution en- bracing clauses that will cause it's rejection by President Taft
 We'll! Well! Well! It is only about ninety days since the Dem ocrat was lifting up it's editorial voice in wailing about "hog- tied" constitution; since it hurled Aiaxian defiance in the teeth of President Taft and the whole imperialistic republican adminis- tration, by the Eternal, sir! The convention should draft a con stitution carrying out the pre-, lenses and pledges of the demo cratic party 10 the sovereign people of Arizona, and if the President and congress dared to turn it down, g. political volcano of some indefinite variety should belch beneath their temerarious feet!
 Oh, what difference in the morning.! No more slobberings over the sovereign people. Nc more flibustering defis against the government at Washington. Instead, pleas and commands and threats to the democratic consti tutional convention, for the drafting of a conservative con stitution that will safely pass the executive scrutiny; utterances that might have oeen lifted yer
 batim from the files of republi
 can newspapers during the re-
 cent campaign.
 Now, what are the delegates doing who have so markedly in
 cured the displeasure of these . journalistic beacons of democ
 racy? Nothing except to insis
 upon the literal interpretation and rendering of the blanks il
 the democratic platform upor
 which they were elected, ant
 their incorporation in the consti
 tuition, as they were authorized
 to do by the voters who elected
 them. These delegates reall,
 take their campaign promise:
 seriously. Hence these tears! : Socialists and radicals, indeed
 Didn't the democratic party o Arizona go out into the highway } and gather into their fold all tn radicals it could discover anI } give each variety representation , in it's platforms? Weren't it r delegations elected by the vote of these radicals-when it come to 6 decision? Isn't the conven 5 tion pledged to draft constitu ton to suit the fantastic notion : of these radicals?
 3 Go to it, Winsor ct al. He1 7 to the line, no matter dow whose collar the chips may fall g You are carrying out the princi l pies you were pledged to an elected to put into effect.

Now Theories of SIeep.

An outline of the results of expert
ments now being conducted in the
University of Michigan with the OBJ
ject Of solving the mysteries of sleep
was made public by Professor r. NJ
Wenley, of Detroit, Mich.
According to his statement one
long accepted theory is overturned.
It has been accepted as a fact that
the loss of consciousness was due to
a lessered flow of blood to the brain.
Professor Wenley says his expert
ments show that the size or volume
of the brain increases when the indi-
vidual goes to sleep and decreases
when he awakens, and the same IS
true Of the hands and feet.
1t was noted that in some cases
the brain became smaller at first, and
then increased as sleep became deep

Oldest People.
BY MRS. R. c. MILLER, iq Leslie's.

-
Baltimore has two remarkable CEN
tenarians among her residents-a
man and d woman. The man is a
tall, heavy-set Russian, who is not
only the oldest man in the Monu-
mental City, but very likely the Oldest
in the United States; for Louis Abra-
ham Kallinsky is nearing his one
hundred and sixteenth birthday. The
other is Mrs. Susan Askey, a woman
who was born in Maryland and who
has spent her entire life Of one hun
dred and four years as a resident OF
that State. An interview with these
old people brought forth many inter-
esting "reminiscences, for both of them
still retain all their faculties and re-
call with amazing vividness the Incl
dents of three-quarters Of a century
or more ago.
Mrs. Askey spoke Of the many
changes in her native city and the
growth of her chosen religion, for she
is a devout Methodist Episcopalian
and has been a member of that sect
for eighty-two years. Up to her nine
ty-eighth year she was a regular at
tendant at church worship and took
an active part in church work. To-
day she can give you the names of her
pastors for the last seventy-fve years.
Last year she was taken to church on
her birthday in an automobile. She
declared that she liked motoring and
looked forward to a ride on her birth
day this year.
Mrs. Askey remembers nothing of
the War of 1912, save that at its out
break she was sem to Frederick, Md.
where she remained with an uncle
until it was over. She then returned
to Baltimore and was educated at
st. Patrick's Catholic School.
