Names Of Flowers.

II is interesting to know how GER
tain flowers got their names. Many
were named after individuals. For
instance, Fuchsias were so called be-
cause they We're discovered by Leon
ard Fuchs. Dahlias were named for
Andre Dahl. who brought them from
Peru. The Camelia was so called for
4 missionary named Kamel, who
brought some magnificent specimens
of the flower to France from Japan.
He called it the Rose of Japan, but
his friends changed it TO Camelia.
MagnoliaS were named in honor of
Prof. Magnol de Montpelier, who first
brought the beautiful trees to France
from America and Asia. Because they
tremble with the wind is the meaning
of Anemones. The Latin word to wash
is lavare, and Lavender received its
name because the Romans put the
flowers into the water when they
washed to perfume their hands.

COUNT TUNNELS BY MILES
Underground Workings of Anthracite
Coal Mines Constant Source Of
Expense to Owners.

Anthracite coal mines in this coun-
try have over 1000 miles of tunnels.
OF these, 1000 are in the Schuylkill re-
gion, which ships about % per cent of
the total anthracite production. In
the Lehigh and Wyoming regions,
which furnish the remaining - per
cent of output, there must be over o.
900 miles of tunnels.
These underground roads are a great
expense. All the coal that can be re
covered from them is constantly in
creasing, and this adds greatly to the
cost of the mines. Water that runs
into these underground passages must
be steadily pumped out to protect adj
jacent workings, and air must be
forced in to prevent the formation OF
dangerous gases. To protect the sur
face and make possible the recovery OF
little more coal, large sums of money
are annually spent for pumping refuse
back into the workings by hydraulic
process.
\ further problem of large cost is
the timbering Of the r1ines Penn
sylvania timber has long been stripped
from the hills and yellow pine from

NOW A NATION OF 1o2, 1926, 309
United States Has Made Great Gains
in Population Despite European
War.

The wars are costing the United
migrants, yet we are gaining in num-
bers somewhat faster than in the last
decade, or so the census bureau esti-
mate of population for January l. 1917
would indicate. 1t is 102, $4,000, or,
including the islands, 13,309,2S5.
The end of the year completes two
thirds of the decade and shows a gain
of not quite 100000, observes the
New York World A total of 1OS,000,-
OO0 or more may be expected in 1920.
If peace had continued, gain of near
ly 2O,0OO,O0O would not have been i'm
possible
To New York the census bureau as
signs for six and two-thirds years more
than twice the gain the state census
allowed for five years; it is doubt
less nearer the truth. BY 1920 the en-
pire state should reach 100000 AT
the present rate Pennsylvania should
increase 100000 in ten years. Cali
fornia 100000, Texas $4,000, and Hi
