How December Got Its Name.

The first appearance of December in
the calendar was in the role of the
tenth month of the year of Romulus,
its name being derived from "decem,"
meaning ten. In 713 b. c., Numa in
troduced January and February before
March, and December was relegated
to twelfth place. The name thus ceased
to be etymologically correct, and sew
eral attempts were made to change It,
but without success. For q decade in
the second century of the Christian
era, in the reign of Commodus. Deem
Der was called Amazonius, in honor of
one of the light lady loves of the
prince, but soon after the death of
Commodus-he was poisoned by his IA
vorite mistress, Martha Romans
dropped the name of Amazonius and
restored the old name of December.
In the original calendar of Romulus
December had 80 days. When Numa
reformed the calendar he reduced De
cember to % days, but julius Caesar
gave it 81 days. and it has been that
number ever since. BY the ancient
Saxons December was called Winter
monat, which was changed, after the
introduction of Christianity, to
Helghmonat, or Holy month.-Buffalo
Times.

GoinQ Back to the Wilds.

DR.. Leonard S. Sugden, war surgeon,
hunter. whaler ana all-around soldier

women with some respect, where peo-

Doctor Sugden was n ships surgeon

A Wrist Watch in the Desert.

One night a company of Arabs at
tached themselves to our party. This
is customary in these wild lands. They
saw that we We're well armed and
came with us for safety. One of them,
a digniied young chief, was accom-
panying woman across the desert.
She was well dressed, this Arab girl,
with yellow turban and silken
robe. On her wrist she wore n Swiss
gold watch, and, though bare-footed,
she was as dignified as the queens of
Lenox and Newport. One of my men
apparently made an insulting remark
to her, and she called him down just
as an American girl would have done.
According to the custom of the desert,
we had to give him thrashing, which
Mahomet did Justify with II big stick.
After that the Arab party always
showed us white men the deepest re-
spect.-Peter MacQueen in World Out

TO PROPOSE CHANGE IN LAW
Senator Burke of Green Bay Will In.
troduce Measure to Modify
Widows Pension Law.

Green Modification of the wild
ows' pension law will be proposed in
bill which Senator Timothy Burke of
Green Bay will introduce. The senator
outlined his views on the changes he
believes should be made in the law.
"A residence of one year in local
ity should be required of all applicants
for widows pension" said Senator
Burke. THE applicant should prove
she is not the owner of property and
has no other source of income before
a court should grant the petition,
think The law is being abused in
some counties now, and if the abuse
continues there will be a concerted eff
fort to repeal the law, and thus deprive
deserving women of pension"

COLD AND HOT ZONES BELOW
Theory That Heat Uniformly Increases
With Descent Into Interior of
Earth Is Proved.

The question is often asked: Are
there cold and hot zones below the
surface of the earth just as there are
on the surface?" Recent developments
would tend to prove that such is the
case and that the long-accepted theory
that heat uniformly increases with de-
scent into the interior of the earth is
incorrect.
1t has been shown that heat gener-
ated by oxidation is often a deter
ring or determining factor in deep min
ing. In sundry localities it has been
noted that the increase in tempera-
ture with depth Is not regular, being
subject to the amount Of pyrites in
the ground, or TO the time that the
hole In the ground Is opened up. At
Sandhurst, Victoria, New South Wales,
Australia, fall of five degrees Fahren-
heit In temperature was noted after
the ground had been opened up for
one year, and after four years had
passed there was further fall and
then an unchanged temperature.
In telling of an instance at Com
stock, New, government official says:
"At depth of 100 feet boiling wa
ter was found, and the statement was
then made that little farther down
all matter was molten; yet on passing
the 2,OO0-foot level the temperature de-
creased, the union shaft at a depth of
$500 feet having more comfortable
temperature than could be found half
way to the surface"
In the Lake Superior region these
irregular conditions are conspicuous.
Here there appears to be local cold
zone, as is demonstrated In the Cal
umet and Hecla shaft, where at 400
feet the temperature was 70 degrees
Fahrenheit, or only 20 degrees warmer
than at a depth of 100 feet.

SEEK RAISE FOR U. FACULTY
Request for Special Legislative Appro-
priation Will Be Made
During Session.

Madison A request for a special
legislative appropriation to make pos
sible an increase in the scale of sal
aries of professors and instructors at
the University of Wisconsin will be
made this winter according to an an
nouncement made by President c. r.
Van Hise at recent faculty meeting.
For the last seven years, university
salaries have been based on a fixed
scale which provides for normal pro-
motions and increases. This scale has
remained the same for seven years, al
though the cost of living has been in
creasing at the rate of 3.5 per cent a
year or more. To keep pace with this,
President Van Hise proposes an in
crease throughout the scale. If the
change from the old scale to the new
Is made in part each year. it will in
yolve an annual addition of about $780,
900 to the budget.

Chinese Woman Students in japan,

Chinese girl students in Tokyo are
no longer the curiosity that they were
in former years, there being scarcely
any girls school in the metropolis but
has among its students young ladies
from the only republic in the far East.
Many of these girls are studying for
teachers, while others are only anxious
to acquire new knowledge and become
worthy citizens of their country. There
are 20 Chinese women, mostly mar
ried, studying at Nine. Yoshioka's
Medical School for Women, Kawada-
cho, Ichigaya. These naturally wish
to 90 into practice when they have
completed their studies.
