went by the unique name OF Gagadig

Smith. and for many years he brooded
over the possibilities of mistaken iden-

became abnormally apprehensive lest
he might be confused with some of the

feared so much actually happened
One morning the papers reported the

ATLAS AND HIS LOAD.
II Was the Heavens, Not the Earth,
the Titan of MYTHOLOGY UpheId.

the Titan OF Mythology Upheld.
Strictly speaking, "atlas" is a mis-
homer for a map book, since it was
not the world. but the heavens, that
the Atlas of mythology upheld. Mer-
Gator, the famous Dutch geographer,
who made globes for Emperor Charles
V. Of Germany. was the first to use
the name in this connection, choosing
1t as a convenient and I'm some sort an
appropriate title, because Atlas, the
demigod, figures with a~world upon his
shoulders as a frontispiece of some
early works on geography.
Atlas, it was said. made war with
other Titans upon Zeus and, being
conquered. was condemned to bear
heaven upon his head and hands. Lat
er tradition represented him as q man
changed by means of Medusa's head
into a mountain. upon which rested
heaven and all Its stars.
In any case. Atlas was always asso-
ciated with a heavy burden strongly
borne. Thus Shakespeare makes War
wick say to Gloucester, Thou art no
Atlas for so great weight"
1t is not difficult TO see how by an
association of ideas this came TO be
chosen as the name for book OF
maps which upholds and exhibits to
us the whole world.

The commissioner of internal reve-
nue. has reported that the ordinary in
ternal revenue collections on tobacco
and liquors was $25,900,000 less for
the past fiscal year than for the pre-
ceding year. 1t is believed that Ameri-
cans are economizing on account of
the financial uncertainty which fol-
lowed the war in Europe. Many
smokers appear to have abandoned
cigars and taken up cigarettes as the
consumption of the former has de-
creased while the consumption of the
latter shows a corresponding increase.
