TOWNS OFTEN ODDLY NAMED
Too Much Imagination, and Sometimes
the Lack of It, Responsible for
Peculiar Coenomens.

A fruitful cause of wonder and
often of amusement as we'll is found
in the names Of hamIets, villages and
towns. In many instances the lack
Of originality is the feature that
attracts the observers attention, and
visitors to New England are led to
comment on the lack of invention
and Imagination displayed in The
naming of towns in this section.
Names for most of them were
brought over from England, and
then the fathers varied these with
such additions as New" and old"
and the points Of the compass. For
instance, we hear of New Haven,
North Haven. West Haven and East
Haven. and we have as many kinds
Of IIarffords hereabouts. There is
an Old Saybrook as well as Say
brook, and an Old Lyme as well as
Lyme. We have not only Mil
ford, but New Milford, and a New
Canaan as well as a Canaan. Thus
it goes throughout the land Of the
Pilgrims and Puritans, while jour-
ney through New York state is like
taking a course in ancient Roman
and Greek history, with Troy, Rome,
Syracuse, Utica. and so on. These
older European names, as well as the
Indian names which have been pre-
served. show the inclination TO use
what is ready at hand, without em-
pIoying either imagination or inyen-
ton. In other places is TO be found
the opposite tendency, and it is when
too much imagination or misdi-
recled Imagination has had sway that
names Of localities often, cause
amusement. which shows the early
settlers who stuck TO the old names
displayed better Judgment. if less
active Observation-Disclosures Cou-
rant.

PLANTS THAT GO TO SLEEP
Slumber as Much a Matter Of Course
With Them as With Human
Beings.

"What a fantastic fairyland is a
garden at night.' says Royal Dixon
in "The Human Side of Plants :
'"Here we find many sleepy heads al!
so quiet and dropping that one Won
ders whether strange dreams may be
forming in their plant minds. Per-
haps they are! Some flowers, like
the evening primrose, the daturo, the
night-blooming cereus and the moon
flower, are open only at night. What
a contrast between these wide-awakc
faces and the numerous sleepy ones
The leaves of the acacias. the
lupin and clover are so tightly closed
that one is reminded Of the wings of
butterflies folded together. Perhaps
they are giving a fairy bed to some
poor, wayfaring bee or moth
Look at the nodding nasturtiums
bending their leaves as they bid us
walk lightly lest We disturb their
slumbcr. The sleep of plants is not
the least interesting of the habits of
these remarkably humanlike things.
The leaves of a plant such as the
clover, formed Of a number of leaf
lets, will fold up not only in the
night but even in the daytime if the
light becomes too strong"

FINDS CAUSE OF SEASlCKNESS
IrritabiIity of Nerves in In
terror of Ear.

The eminent German ear surgeon,
Professor Bruins, tested more than
one hundred persons by turning them
in o revolving chair. He has just
reported that the symptoms were
identical with seasickness. This is
explained by the irritability of the
three little semicircular canals in
the inner ear which control the equi-
librium OF the body.
Tests OF the central nervous sys-
tenn enabled Professor Bruins to pre-
dict whether 'seasickness" would be
likely TO occur in those about to
travel. Bruins and physician
named Fischer have found that this
irritability Of the semicircular canals
and central nervous system can be
controlled by atropin. 1t is said that
when given as preventive atropin
will ward off an attack. During the
attack this drug seems to stimulate
the central nervous system rather
than TO paralyze the terminal or
peripheral nerves. In this case caf-
feline might be substituted for afro
pin, or other drugs might control the
collapse and prostration.
The theory that the semicircular
canals have really the function of
regulating our sense of equilibrium
and direction has been disputed by
many doctors, but the peculiar ar
rangement of these canals in the
three planes of direction makes the
theory more than probable.
