Naming the Baby.

The Mohammedans write five names on slips of paper and place them in the Koran. One slip is drawn out, and the name written thereon is bestowed upon the baby. With the Egyptians three lighted candles are taken and named-one name always being of Biblical char acter-and the candle which burns the longest determines the child's name. The Hindus allow the moth- CT to name a baby when it is twelve days old, but if the father does not like the chosen name he selects another. Then the two names are written on slips of paper and held over lighted lamp. that which burns the brighter being the name finally adopted.

 "You insult me. sir. You insult mel" replied the member. with un- expected and altogether unneces- sary indignation, ard then. refusing to listen either to reason or ex- planation. he left the speakers desk and returned to his seat

An Extraordinarx Miaration.

One of the greatest mysteries to scientists, one for which there seems to be no reasonable explana- tion, is that concerning the migra- ton of the lemming, or Norway rat. Instead of taking place once year, these migrations occur only once in eleven years. When the time comes for the exodus the little animals journey westward from Scandina- via, allowing nothing to stop their movements. which virtually amount to a headlong flight They swim the lakes and rivers and climb the highest mountains in incalculable numbers. devastating the whole country through which they travel. Naturalists attribute the movement to some inherited memory of flight to escape an expected cat aclvsm, but this seems somewhat farfetched.

sALUTE0 HIS BRAVERY.
The Fine Tribute Castelar, PaId to
 Amadeus of Savoy.

E''@NNAS VI 0oNOys
 The numerous experiments tried and rejected by the Spanish nation during the last century included the short lived government of 1S71-3, when a very worthy prince, Anna deus of Savoy, second son of Victor Emmanuel, undertook the difficult business of being king of Spain. Amadeus had to contend not only with the Republicans and with those who desired the restoration of the Bourbon dynasty, but also with the country's rooted prejudice against ''the foreigner" In a book entitled '@The Secret History of the Court of Spain" are given instances of that bravery that won for the young Italian king the admiration, at least, of his Spanish subjects.
 On hot evening the king and queen were returning to the palace after listening to some music in the gardens of the Buen Retire. Sud denly vehicle opposed the passage of their carriage by crossing just in front. The coachman checked the horses and prevented a collision, but just then d shot was directed toward the royal party.
 At this the king sprang boldly to his feet and exclaimed:
 "Here is the kingl Fire at him, not at the Othersw
 But no further attempts were made at assassination, and the reti- nue reached the palace in safety.
 To the king the late hours of the court were particularly disagreeable. At work at in the morning, he rang for his breakfast at s. Aston ishment was on the lackey's face; il had never been customary for their ex-majesties to be served be- fore II o'clock! So Amadeus, to avoid friction, adopted the habit of going to cafe for his early meal.
 Thus the maids. who sally forth in Madrid with baskets on their arms, would often return to tell thclr mlStresseS how they nad brushed against his majesty as they did their business in the market place.
 In one of these early perigrina- tions Amadeus noticed that Caste lar, the famous leader of the repub- lican party. raised his hat to him. Surprised at this sign of respect from the enemy, the young man stopped and said that he wondered that one of Castelar's opinions should salute royalty.
 My salute was not to royalty, sire." replied the orator, with the grace of the Castilian, "but to the bravest man in Christendom."

SECOND OFFICER OF V0LTURN0 TELLS OF HORROR
Thinks Captain
Has Suspicious
Remarkable Silence as to Origin of Fire
on Volturno May Mean He Is
Blaming Firebugs,
UNITED PRESS LEASED wIRr.1

New York, Oct. 15.-Seafaring mer
generally expressed the opinion that
there was much significance in the
omission by Captain Inch, the Voltur,
nos commander, of any reference in his
story wirelessed from the Kroonland
as to the origin of the fire which de-
stroyed the liner.
Their view was that he probably
shared the Uranium officials suspicion
that it was incendiary, and preferred ia
keep his own counsel until he can ex
press himself before regularly consti
tuted board Of inquiry.
Experts thought it impossible, too
that an ordinary fire should have
spread so fast as to have actually trap
ped the watch in the forecastle and
burned the men to death, or that within
so little time as five minutes after its
discovery it should have burned through
the forward matches.
The captains detailed version of the
disaster was eagerly awaited.

The prosecuting lawyers feared the

The court decision concerning the
Pack and Morgenthau testimony was
generally accepted as meaning Sulzer's

admitted that under the circumstances,
the ousting of the executive from office
probably was only question of time.
