Royal Names.

Nicholas Romanoff is the name by
which the late car is mentioned in
the Russian papers. But it may be
doubted whether this is a correct use
Of the word Romanoff, because mon
archs, who sign by their Christian
names only, are not supposed to have
surnames. In the early days, when
both surnames and customs were in
the making, they did not need them,
and, except in case Of dethronement,
ard not always then, they have never
needed them since. Contrary to
popular belief, Plantagenet was not a
surname. Tudor may have been one,
and Stuart certainly was. But Guelph
was not; and SO good an authority as
Mr.. Fox-Davies holds that the present
king Of England has no surname at
all. Less learned authorities have
been perplexed to know whether the
descendants Of Queen Victoria did not
inherit the surname Of their father,
the Prince Consort.

UNEMPLOYED LAND IN CANADA
Vast Areas, Both In Ontario and Que
bee, Where Surveying Parties
Have Never Been.

A very common impression held
even by Canadians is that there is lit
tie Canadian territory left to explore
except on the Arctic islands. But as
far back as 1890 DR.. George Dawson
had calculated that there were then
about 100000 square miles Of unex-
plored territory in western Canada,
the rest lying in the provinces Of On
tario and Quebec.
Mr.. Charles CRmsell of the geologi-
cal survey of Canada has quite recent
ly revised Doctor Dawson's estimate,
reaching for western Canada the fig
ures Of about $4,000 square miles,
while the unexplored area Of northern
Quebec is represented by $4,000
square miles.
The total area Of Canada Is reck-
oned at 3,729,665 square miles, Of
which 520,SO0 square miles are en-
braced In the Islands Of the Arctic
ocean. The unexplored area (Camsell
ligures) Of 9O1, 900 square miles repre-
sents almost % per cent of the total
area Of the country.

freshmen IN COMMON BOND
Writer Sees Peculiar Opportunity for
Commonwealth IL That Country
for Many Reasons.

Ireland is, perhaps. the only country
In Europe In which cooperative COM
monwealth has a notable chance Of be-
ing realized. Few great Industrial in
terests have been established there.
The bulk Of the people are small farm
ers whose economic status makes CO.
operative combinations more aud more
a necessity. The people have always
worked well In combination from the
time of the Celtic clans who so ably
and for so long resisted great mill
tary aggression 20 our own time when
their combinations for boycott de-
stroyed feudal system that had the
might of an empire behind it.
Such commonwealth, democratic
for production, aristOcratic in leader
ship would move more and more to-
ward brotherhood. The literary
movement of today may be prophecy
Of or perhaps preparation for that
brotherhood. The theme of the new
Irish poetry, as l have said, is q spir-
itual democracy.
The ideal of the cooperative COM
monwealth is apt to gain the alleg-
lance Of every vital force in the coun-
try. To those who would have Ire
land an independent state it shows the
way to economic Independence; to
those who would have Ireland a resur-
gent Gaelic nationality it shows the
way Of return to a Gaelic form Of so
cial organization; to those who react
from the dreadful economic conditions
in many parts Of the country it shows
the way to economic betterment.-

PROTECTS EYES OF SOLDIERS
New Device Used by British
Troops In Trenches

A new chain visor helmet attach
ment to protect the soldiers eyes is
being tried by the British in France.
The visor is the invention Of Capt. r.
r. Cruise, an ophthalmic surgeon with
General Haig's forces. Around the
front of the regular steel helmet Doc
tor Cruise has placed slender rod,
to which is attached strip Of steel
chain mail, about three inches deep.
This slides on the rod as easily as a
curtain, and it can be drawn, like a
veil. fairly close by an ingenious con-
trivance and fastening. The eyes Of
the wearer are thus protected against
any flying fragment Of shell. or-what
is almost equally dangerous-any
stone or piece Of earth thrown up by
the explosion of a shell. The steel
mail obscures the vision to a certain
extent, but not to such q degree that
the soldier is unable to use his rife.
But If he wishes greater clearness Of
sight half the mail can be Topped back
and one eye will still be protected.

lNclEAH LEGEND MADE GOOD
Russian Women Fighting With the
Desperation Said 70 Have AMI
mated Amazon Warriors.

Legend tells Of an ancient nation
Of female warriors, the Amazons. who
were said to have lived In Pontus,
near the shore Of the Euxine sea,
where they maintained an independ-
ent government under the rule OF a
queen. These hardy women, so runs
the tale, carried war into many neigh
boring counties, Including Scythia and
Thrace. and to tie coasts of Asia
Minor, even penetrating to Arabia and
Egypt. They were seldom made to
swallow the bitter potion Of defeat.
Now, according to the war cables
from Petrograd, woman is again tax
ing her place in battle. The death
Battalion in the Russian army on tie
eastern front, reports say, is full IN
the fight and is acquitting itself hero
ically. We read such lines as "En-
sign Mile. Vera Butchkareff has been
sent to hospital suffering from shell
shock" and 'the Death Battalion
rushed forward, firing their rifles with
deadly effect"
It is a strange situation in Russia
which finds women standing fast I'M
der fire. and thousands Of men turn
ing their backs 10 the Zoe and deliv-
ering over their own soil. II these
traitors are capable Of shame, the
spectacle Of women fighting their bat
ties for them must sink deep into
their souls.-Cincinnau Times-Star.

Rifle RANGE Industry Brisk.

The rife range industry has taken
on a wonderful impetus all over New
York. Not only the men in uniform,
but citizens Of all ages and even wom-
en- are printing their weather eye for
emergency service against the kaiser.
The little street ranges. with their
equipment Of stationary clay pipes,
moving clay ducks and silver balls
balanced on water spouts, have mush-
roomed their way into all the thor
oughfares in which people promenade
in the evenings, and every unoccupied
store and booth has been converted
into spot for the testing of ones
prowess with the rifle. Civilians are
in majority among those who nightly
try their skill at these ranges, but very
frequently group Of men In uniform
will saunter up to have little COM
petition among themselves. The civil
ian marksmen on these occasions
usually retire for the time being.

Saving Causes Coin Shortage.

Shortage Of small coins, complained
Of by Minneapolis banks, may be due
partly to the practice Of saving buffa-
10 nickels and the new dimes, bankers
believe.
Many persons have formed the habit
Of putting away the buffalo coins or
the new ten-cent pieces on the we'll
established theory that the saver can
accumulate considerable sums in this
way and yet do 1t so gradually that
''he never misses It,"
Bankers said the penny famine prob
ably was due to recently instilled thrift
among children. Pennies given them
by parents, coins that formerly went
back into circulation as quickly as lit
tie feet could flutter to the corner
candy store. now find their way into
the toy bank.-Minneapolis Journal.
