old EnuIlsh Street Names.

Old street names in London often
assumed strange forms through pop
ular corruptions. Gutter lane, for in.
stance, was named after it's owner,
who happened to be one Guthurun. A
hagrant example was Hangman's
Gains, by the Tower, "a. strange cor.
ruption," as Strype tells us, 'for
Hammes and Guynes, where the poor
tradespeople of Hammes and Guynes
were allotted to dwell after Calais and
those places were taken from the Eng.
fish" Many years ago, in Pentonville,
there was a Dobbin's place, and that
homely Dobbin's was but DAubigny
upon English tongues.
In some cases it is possible to trans
form an ugly road name into some.
thing quite pleasant, and even roman
tic, without much difficulty. There is
the steep road which runs up from
Parliament Hill Fields to Highgate. 1t
used to be known as Swine's lane, &C.
cording to local antiquarians. Now
adays the Cockney may pronounce 1t
much as before when he takes his
ticket on the tram from Holborn. But
the spelling is diferent-Swain's Lane.

HOSPITAL in HISTORY
INSTITUTIONS HAVE BEEN
KNOWN FROM EARLY TIMES,
Before the Christian Era the Care Of
h Afflicted Was Considered q
Public Duty - Philadelphia
Had First In America,

The first hospital established In
America vas opened in Philadelphia
on February Z, 1850. For nearly two
years Benjamin Franklin and other
influential men yer working for the
establishment of such an institution.
A charter was granted in May, 1851,
and the first board Of trustees was
elected the July following.
The day Of the opening q number Of
patients were admitted who were reg
ularly attended and given their medi-
cine free. Joshua Crosby was the first
president and Benjamin Franklin the
first clerk.
The second hospital established was
in New York in It'll. From these ear
~ beginnings thereGhas now grown up
in the United States a veritable forest
Of hospitals. Every city, town and
village has its duly appointed institu-
tons of this character, and the hos
pitfalls of the United States are now
acknowledged the most handsomely
and thoroughly equipped In the world,
and serve as models for European ar
chitects.
Hospitals were founded in very ear
ly times. India, Persia and Arabia
had hospitals supported by their kings
and rulers before the Christian
era. AS far back as the earliest Pc
Rod in Greek history the sick are
said to have been treated in the Tenn
pie of Aesculapius at Epidaurus.
In the early Jewish period a house
for the reception of the sick was
called Beth Holem. Such an institu-
ton was Beth Saba, mentioned In
the New Testament.
Military hospitals are Of compare
lively recent origin, born of the needs
Of warfare and the advance of medi-
cal science and hygiene. In the Cri-
mean war Of 1854 the French alone of
the allied powers possessed anything
approaching the equipment % COM
mon to all armies.
The English wounded we're carried
or the field in rough-and-ready fash

resulted in more effective hospital
! service.

zeppeIins Built Since the War.

According to a dispatch from Berne,
Switzerland, there are now some
eighty Zeppelins. in the German
service. This statement is said to
be, based on information developed at
Friedrichshafen, where the airship
works are located. Recently one of
the latest type Zeppelins made a trial
fight. It bore the number LZ-95, and
in design varied considerably from the
ante-bellum Zeppelins. It's gondolas
are said to be of plated steel. The
craft is plentifully supplied with ma
chine guns and apparatus for throw
ing bombs and aerial torpedoes;
among the latter being a new type
which is reported to be far more pow
erful then any. heretofore developed.
In fact, rumor has it that the new
aerial torpedo is to play a prominent
part in the event of the German war

their sheltering harbors and engaging

require immediate delivery to obtain

These uses have covered a suffi-
cient length of time to give reliable
results, and have proved that the au.

stay because it is both a convenience

The difference between battery ig.,

ers and prospective buyers" states the
manager of a large automobile con-
Germ.
In the magnetic ignition system,
the current for ignition goes directly
from the magnetic to the spark plugs.
The speed of the magnetic increases
and decreases with the speed of the
engine The amount of current out
put of any magnetic is in direct pro-
portion to the speed.
For this reason, at the higher EN-.
CINE speeds the magnetic is furnish
ing a good hot spark-but the hot
spark is not needed at the higher
speeds. When the engine is running
slow and pulling hard, the magnetic
furnishes but weak spark-although
a very hot spark is needed under these
conditions. This uneven current out
put has caused the magnetic to be re.
placed by battery ignition.
The storage battery, of course, fur.
nishes a uniform current. A good hot
spark is available at all times, irrespec-
tive of the engine speed.
1.-The battery delivers the same cur
rent at the slowest engine speed as 1t
does at the higher rate-but the mag
neto gives but very little current when
the engine is running slowly. This is
why cars with battery ignition can be
throttled down to much lower speed
than cars equipped with the magnetic.
AN objection has been given to the
battery system, in that frequent re-
charging of the battery is necessary.
Recent improvements, however, have
made this objection invalid.
Most cars which have battery ig-
milton are also equipped with an cleo
trio generator This generator Is
driven by the engine in the same way
as the magnetic is driven and furnishes
current to the battery. The generator,
therefore, automatically keeps the bat
terry charged at all times and does
away with the necessity Of having it
recharged."

There are number of steps in the proc

Natural or pure rubber is very soft
and must be hardened when it is to be

The hardening Of the rubber may be
slight, or carried to such degree that
the finished product is extremely hard
and more or less brittle. Examples of
this substance are to be found in rec.
