italy an Ancient Nation.

Italy may fairly claim to be senior
among the nations of Europe SO far
as its name is concerned. The PENN
sula has been Italia almost as far
back as even legend reaches. Accord
ing to Mommsen the 'Itali' proper
were the inhabitants of the southern
part of the country. AS to the origin
of the name, there is the normal le-
gend of a King Italus; but his name
must have been pronounced Vitalus
or Vitulus, which means bull-caif,
and it is easy to recognize in it an
allusion to Italy as the land of cattle.

Three Types of Feet.

Three types of human feet have
been noted by British naturalist. In
the most common designated, the l.
type the first or great toe projects
beyond the others; in the much less
frequent type the second toe ex-
tends beyond the first, as well as the
others; and in the rare E type the
first and second toes, longer than any
others, are Of equal length. The S
type, which seems to be more youth
full form than the others, is more COM
mon in females than in males.

ITALIANS FLEE AS
EARTH TREMBLES

Florence, Via Rome, March, - A
slight earthquake shock lasting four
seconds which was felt in Tuscany and
other sections in the central part Of
Italy at 7:O5 o'clock last night caused
no fatalities and only slight material
damage according to reports received
here from various points where the
earth tremor was observed. A panic
was caused among the people in the
districts where the shock was felt and
it was feared it might presage repe-
tition of the recent disaster in the
Abruzzi district.
The fact that the tremor was accom-
panied by subterannean rumblings has
given rise to the belief that it was of
volcanic origin. i@s
