London as It Was

Haydn's Dictionary of Dates" makes the statement that the old name of the city of London was written Lynden or Llyndin, meaning "the city on the lake" An old tradition gives us to understand that London was founded by Brute, descendant of Aeneas, and called New Troy or Troynovant until the time of Lud, who surrounded the town with walls and named it Caer- Lud, or Lud's Town. This latter is probably the correct version of the story, if for no other reason, because it is an easy matter to detect a sim ilarity between the expression Luds Town and London. It is claimed by some writers that there was a city on the same spot 1, ,10T years B. C., and it is known that the Romans founded a city there called Londinium A. D. 61.

Relaxatio

The Hatteras lightship has an evil reputation among government employ ees. Anchored as it is off that stormy point, life on board is so arduous that men are given stretch of three weeks on the ship, alternating with a full weeks rest. X certain son of Sweden was employed on the hghtship for some time. When he gave up his job he was accosted by a friend:
 "Well, Ole, how was your job?"
 "Oh, das yob bane fine."
 'I suppose the government gave you the regular rest every three weeks?"
 "Oh, va, have von week to rest"
 What did you do while you were of duty?"

Woodchucks as Strateqists.

The wOodchuck shows strategy not only ill his fighting. but i'll the con- struc:ion of his defensive wOrks-his burrow. If you will take careful note on your walks of all the woodchuck holes you come across you will proba- bly, be surprised to find iE how many cases the animal can secure an outlook of considerable radius either from the mouth of the hole or q point con- veniently near it. It may be in the open pasture, when it is more likely to be on a slope than in a hollow, thus recurring both outlook and better drain age. It may be among rocks, but within easy distance of some peak which commands a prospect. It may be in the woods, in or under a fallen log, but the chuck can climb the log to look about. It may be among the scrub growth by an old stone wall, and you will say: "Ha! Here is an excep- tion." But do not be too nasty. Some day, passing the spot. you will see shrewd face and a fat body up on the wall. The woodchuck digs in like modern army; but, like an army, he also puts his trenches where they can command the approaches. - Harper's Magazine.

Tree Food.

Trees manufacture their own food. The sunlight furnishes the energy to carry on the work. The elements which make up the food on which the tree lives and grows are obtained from the air through the foliage and from the soil through the roots. Their con- stituents-carbonic acid gas, oxygen, water and mineral salts-combined form the food which sustains the tree. If any one of these constituents is lacking the growth of the tree is check ed and its health impaired. AS with animal life, the lack of sufficient water is most seriously felt.-Tree Talk.

of the master should be to avoid ac-
ton whenever possible Experience
has shown that hostile submarines
and aircraft have frequently attacked
merchant vessels without warning. 1t
is important therefore that craft Of
this description should not 5c allowed
to approach to short range at which
torpedo or bomb launched without
notice would almost certainly be eff
fectiye. British and allied subma:
ines and aircraft have orders not to
approach merchant vessels. COnse-
quently it may be presumed that any
submarine or aircraft which deliber-
ately approaches or pursuas a mer-
chant vessel does so with hostile in
tention. In such cases fire may be
opened in self-defensc in order to
prevent the hostile craft from closing
to a range at which resistance to
sudden attack with bomb or torpedo
would be impossible.
AN armed merchant vessel pro
ceeding to render assistance TO the
crew of a vessel in distress must
not seek action with any hostile craft
though if she herself Is attacked
while doing so. fire may be opened
in self-defense."
