Grease Effective "Danqer" Sign.

A Philadelphia contractor who has
observed that pedestrians pay little
attention to signs has evolved new
plan to guard against accidents to-
innocent bystanders." A steam
shovel working many feet below the
surface of the street attracts scores Of
persons daily. They stop, lean over
the board railing around the excava-
ton and stare. Sometimes the crowd
gets so large that there is danger of
the railing giving way and plungingI
them into the excavation. Danger"
signs don't worry them-hence the new
idea of the contractor He has smeared
the top of the railing with tar and
grease. Now persons who never shud-
der at the danger sign fee from the
grease menace as if 1t were poison.

The Scotch.lrish.

The term "Scotch.lrlsh" implies not
the a.nalgamation of distinct Scotch
and Irish families, but, like Anglo
Saxons and lndo-Brtish, simply that
the people Of one country were trans
planted or immigrated from the coun-
try of their birth to that of another.
Religious or political rule was the main
factor Thus colony of North Scotch
went over into Ireland during the re-
ligious troubles of Great Britain from
the reign of Henry VIII and continu.
ously to the time of William Ill. There
were direct descendants OF Scotch par
ents on both sides who came TO Amer
lea from Ireland, who claimed still to
be Scotch; others married into Irish
families, and their children were the
Presbyterian Scotch-Irlsh that nrst
settled In the backwoods of Virginia
~ the seventeenth century.
