"What becomes of the energy Of mo-
ton of street car when suddenly
stopped"
Law-mass multiplied by velocity
equals momentum. The mass of the
car in pounds or tons multiplied by its
specific speed in feet per second gives
product named foot pounds or foot
tons. This momentum is expended at
the instant of collision or impact In de-
livering a blow, as in the case of a
cannon ball. If the body receiving the
impact is movable part Of the monnen-
tum will appear in it as motion. If
immovable the car will be smashed or
move backward. And the molecules Of
the matter at point Of impact VIII be
increased in temperature and also be
moved somewhat. This requires en-
ergy, and work has been accomplished
from instant of collision until rest OBJ
tains. The answer is the energy Of
momentum is transformed into work.

1br.. Birthday. a Year.

There is apparently plenty Of fun for
the child in Sweden in the matter Of
birthdays. but the parent can hardly
be expected to feel the same, for the
children there do not confne themselves
to one birthday, but they must have
three. OF course the first one is the
real birthday, and the other two are
those whose names the Swedish boy
or girl bears. For every day in the
year of the Swedish calendar has its
own separate name, besides the week
ly names which other nations have.
Sometimes If the parent gives the child
a second name or first one that can
not be found In the calendar, the child
loses out on one birthday. And con-
siderable protest must follow, too, when
the child becomes old enough to real
ize what he is missing. In the German
calendar every day has a name also,
but the observance of these days is
not at all common in the latter coun-

Macleod attempted it when clerk in
the London Office of the Bank Of Mel

cepting an agency in an out of the way

day in order to think the matter over
and went into the country to hear the

Frances FOREIGN Legion.

The French Foreign legion. which
Is always the cause Of SO much bad
blood in Germany, is the only regiment
Of its kind. in existence. 1t dates from
1881, when France undertook the con-
quest Of Algeria. 1t consists Of two
regiments, each four battalions strong,
drawn from all the Adventures Of
Europe. 1t is popular not only because
no questions are asked, but because
promotion is open to all, within limits,
and a certain number of the officers
have risen from the ranks. All classes
are to be found among its members
and all nationalities, but the many
Germans do not describe themselves
as such-they are all Alsatians. The
reason for its continued existence is
that France cannot spare its men nor
find enough who would leave the com
forts Of civilization for the wastes of
Africa or the swamps of Tonkin.-Man-

A narinn Eaoana.

General de Negrier was one Of the
French officers who succeeded in escap-
ing from German custody in 1870. He
was in Metz-and In hospital-at the
time of the capitulation, but instead
Of constituting himself a prisoner he
put on his uniform. mounted his horse
and rode off as an Independent gentle
man. Before long he was stopped by
a sentinel who demanded bis papers,
and, as he had no papers, he handed
up his ticket of admission to the hos
pital While the German was slowly
spelling it out Negrier shot him
through the head and galloped off,
crossing the Belgian frontier, and re-
crossing it, after a rest, to take part
in the operations of Faidherbe's army
of the north. 1t is not surprising that
so resourceful a soldier got quick
promotion and was successfully the
youngest colonel, the youngest general
of brigade and the youngest general
Of division in the French army.-West-

hiatorio London Street.

Friday street is one of the most in
teresting and ancient of the thorough
fares of London. AS long ago as 1905
a reference to it appears in the city
records, and even then it was probably
old. Close by 1t stood the Nag's Head
tavern, which is famous in history as
the pretended" scene of the consecra-
ton of Matthew Parker, archbishop
of Canterbury. In the reign of Queen
Elizabeth.
The name of Friday street is derived
from the fact that In medieval times
many fishmongers resided there and
held their Friday market in the vi
cinity. BY a strange contrariety of
nomenclature the Wednesday club met
at hosiery in the street, and there,
In 1895, under the direction OF Will
liam Paterson. discussed at great
length the proposals which eventuated
in the establishment of the Bank Of
England.-Pall Mall Gazette.

What sort Of hooks did our ancestors,

can view that the earliest type Of
hook. II hook it can be called, was a
straight bit of flint buried in the bait.
When the fish had swallowed the bit
Of meat. or whatever the bait was, the
tightening Of the line pulled the flint
across its throat, and. as 1t stuck there,
the fish could be hauled ashore with
out more ado. Perhaps some brig
innovator of that misty past one day
tried bit of flint which had a double
curve like a pair of buffalo horns and
found it effective. and perhaps out of
that developed the genuine double
hook. which seems to have been very
early form. And perhaps the single
hook came into being because it was
realized that one bend was as efficient
as two for most purposes.-London
