Smoke Consuming Schemes.

The most ingenious scheme ever in
vented for doing away with the smoke
difficulty with steam locomotives was
tried some years ago on the Metropol-
itan railway of England. Between
the rails a trough was laid. and the en-
CINE carried a sliding shoe device
adapted to slide over this and to open
doors as it passed whereby smoke let
from the stack to the shoe was enabled
to pass into the trough. thence being
exhausted to collecting plant" An
other scheme for solving the smoke diff
ficulty was to construct series Of
smokestacks leading to the back of the
train. This would have kept the Gin
ders out of the passengers eyes posi-
bly,, but would hardly have been sufi-
cient to make the smoke settle on the
company's right of way.-Indianapolis

WHY "HOGMANAY?"

Various Explanations Given of Scotch
Name For New Years Eve.
It is natural with New Years even
more than with other holidays that
large part of the observance should
fall upon the eve rather than upon
the day. In no other festival or fast
is any single moment so important as
the moment of midnight that marks
the change from the 31st of December
to the LIST of January. That is the
turning point in the celebration. the
thing itself which is celebrated. The
early ceremonies lead up to it, and
the later ones begin with it
Nobody knows why the 31st of De-
cember should be called Rogmanay in
Scotland. In the north of England this
word is Hagmena. and in two or
three other countries there are names
for the day that sound a little like
these. Several unlikely guesses have
been made ct the origin of the word,
and they are as unprOtita BILE as guess
es made entirely without oasis OF
knowledge usually are One OF them
is that the words "Hogmanay, trolio-
lay" which occur in a song. are cor
ruptiOn OF "Homme est ne-uOis rOis
Ia" This theory ignores with calm
ness of Indifference that is positively
fascinating the fact that the word
trOllOlay occurs in a thousand other
songs where it could not by any pos
sible stretch of pathological lmagina-
ton mean "trois rois Ia" 1t is here
set down only to illustrate once more
the absurd extremity to which the
craze for lgnOrantly deriving words
will carry its victims. The word Hog
manay was applied also to certain
dole of oat cakes, sometimes accom-
panied by cheese, given to a child on
this day. The children OF the poorer
people went about in companies ask
ing these gifts, and the people who
were more we'll to do often gave them
in such quantities that the problem
was rather how TO carry them than
how to get them.
Going about in large parties to visit
neighbOrs with one sort of ceremony
or another formed a part of the OBJ
servance of many an Old custom III

ent time seems to have been one of the
most favored OF all in this respect
