RUSSIA HOPES
STORK WILL
BRING BOY
Young Czarevitch Can Live
but a Short Time, Say
Experts.
TRIP TO EGYPT is
MADE TO SAVE HIM
BY GEORGE Fraser.

n T PETERSBURG, Russia, Nov. p.
All Russia is hoping and pray
- ing that when the stork makes
his expected visit to the royal family
that he will bring a boy, for there
seems to be no doubt that the days
of the little czarevitch are numbered
While it is not officially known what
ails the unfortunate little lad there IS
every reason to believe that lie IS a
victim of hasty consumption ana IN
court circles il is doubted if he can
live a year. His trip to Egypt IS IN
the hope that the ravage of the dis
ease may be checked, but experts de-
clare that hope is vain
The czarina IS staying at Llvadla,
the cars residence on the Cr1mea
coast, and her medical attendant has
recently been ordered to go there
Unfortunately, the health OF her maj
esty has given cause for so much IN
easiness OF late that Russia awaits
the expected event with no little anX-
iety. Those who have seen the czar1na
recently admit that she has aged
greatly, indeed, ever since the Illness
Of the little czareTitch, she mas oeen
a changed woman.
The long years that she has spent in
the Russian court years Inat were
filled with dread lest her husband
should be assassinated, have also left
their mark upon the unhappy empress
and for a long time she has lived the
life of a recluse-
The sad part OF II all is that before
her marriage to the car, in 1894, she
had such a bright and happy DISPOSE
ton that she was known everywhere
as Princess Sunshine"
Those who believe in the gift OF
prophecy will be interested to know,
by the way, that fortune teller once
told the czarina that she would en-
Joy the greatest splendor the world
had to bestoW, but with sadness IN
effabie."

Of Germany in aerial matters
Whatever may be said against the

list includes the prince OF Wales the

prince Leopold of Battenberg- Among

at any rate, until aviation has become
much safer than it is at present

The loss this year appears to Be
not wholly due to the movement on
the people into suburban towns. for
such prosperous neighbOrs as Char

small losses, and the gains in other
adjacent municipalities are not large
enough to account for the removals
from the capital

Name arizona Means
Small Spring That Meier
Fails, Says Prot. Forbes

Phoenix, Ariz., Nov. 22.-"Arid zone"
is not the meaning of Arizona. The
states name has absolutely no con-
nection with dryness, according to a
new and plausible theory advanced by
Prof. r. II. Forbes. director of the
agricultural department of the uni
yersity of Arizona. Prof. Forbes
thinks that Arizona" is derived from
the PapagO indian words "ari" and
sonac, meaning a small, never fail
ing spring.
Prof Forbes has recently been pur-
suing an earnest investigation into
this ancient and much mooted cues
ton He has embodied the results OF
his inquiries in a letter to governor
George Hunt, and is preparing a lee
ture along the same line.
1t is pointed out by Prof. Forbes
that the old ranch, Arizona, is IS miles
southwest Of Nogales, on the rio Ari-
iona, just north of the sierra Arizona
The name Arizona was applied to that
entire region and was well known to
the Spaniards as early as 1892
Colinel Charles D. PostOn, Arizona's
first delegate in congress, suggested
that the name be applied to the new
territory.
