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 etymoiogically correct, and sew
eral attempts were made to change it.,
but without success. For a 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
yorite mistress, MARTA - Romans
dropped the name of Amazonius and
restored the old name of December.
In the original calendar of Romulus
December had 30 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
nonat, which was changed, after the
introduction of Christianity, to
Helighmonat, or Holy month.-Buffalo

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

The question is often asked: "Are
surface of the earth just as there are
on the surface?" Recent developments
would tend TO prove that srch 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 OxidizatiOn 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, ~ to the time that the
hole in the ground is opened up. At
Sandhurst, Victoria, New South Wales,
Australia, a 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 a further fall and
then an unchanged temperature.
In telling of an instance at Com
stock, \ 2v., a government official says
AT a iepth of LOO feet boiling wa
ter was found, and the statement was
then made that a little farther down
all matter was molten; yet ON passing
the 2,000-foot level the temperature de-
creased, the union shaft at depth of
| $500 feet having a 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 a local cold
zone, as is demonstrated in the Cal
umet and Hecla shaft, where at 400
feet the temperature was 20 degrees
Fahrenheit, or only 20 degrees warmer
than at depth of 100 feet.

A Wrist Watch in the Desert.

One night q company of Arabs at
tached themselves to our party. This
is customary in these wild lands. They
saw that we were well armed and
came with us for safety. One of them,
a dignified young chief, was accom-
panying a woman across the desert.
She was well dressed, this Arab girl,
with a yellow turban and silken
robe. On her wrist she wore Swiss
gold watch, and, though bare-footed.
she was as dignifed 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 a thrashing, which
Mahomet did Justify with a big stick.
After that the Arab party always
showed us white men the deepest re-
spect.-Peter MacQueen in World Out

Cheated His Widow Of a pIeas,,r.

The will in which a testator direct
ed that his ashes, after cremation,
should be buried at the foot of pear
tree in his garden was inspired by u
dislike of the needless and largely in
sincere pomp of mourning. Perhaps
the most eccentric choice on record
was that of testator more than a
hundred years ago who directed that
his coffin should he dropped into the
sea mile below the Needles. 1t is said
that his wife had vowed she would

solved that If she did it should cost

REPORTERS CROWD CAPITAL

Washington, Oct. 23.-There are more newspapermen to the square foot in Washington today than any where else in the world.
 Wh=n Presidential Secretary Tu- multy receives reporters in the morning, his spacious office is crowded to the doors. If all the men accredited to the House and Senate press galleries were to con gregate there at one time, the Capi- tol would be mobbed. ,
 Many newspapers that never boaste1 special correspondents be- fore new have q corps of them busy. Government buildings that were unimportant before the war HOW require constant watching by writers representing publications all over the world.
 "Canned2 goVernmnet announce ments CT handouts are printed in wholesale quantities for distrbu- tiOn. The real news, however, is only to be obtained by harder dig ging than ever and often, in the course of such work, newspapermen get details of big stories the gov ernment doesn't want printed, and the overwhelming majority of the men never break faith.

UNIVERSITY GIVES 600
 TO COUNTRIES SERVICE

Seattle, Oct. 25.-six hundred men from the University of Wash ington have gone to war, according to present estiamte. The list Is not yet compelte and as many as a hundred more names may be added to this roll of honor.
 Many of the fraternity houses have been closed because so large number of their members has en- listed. Service flags, some with as high as sixteen stars to q flag, are furled from the houses that are open; and as the need be- comes more and more urgent, many more stars will be won by new en- listmenrs.
 The branches of service into which the students have gone in- clude almost all of both army and navy.
 Campus activities were for the most part without leaders for the new year and a student body meet ing was called last week to nom mate new men to fill the yancant offices.
