THE WORD CASUALTY"
First Used as Battlefield Term In the

First Used as Battlefield Term In the
 Crimean War,
 When did the word casualty first assume the modern specialized mean ing with which it is assOti ed in war reports? 1 think it must have been at the time of the Crimean war, for ill the latest volume of "Disraeli's Life" l have come across the following pas sage, dated Sept ,, 1S53: "Lady Lon donderry is in despair about her son, who is now ill the trenches. :" Casualties, she says, and, truly, what horrible word to describe the loss of limb and life.
 The underining and the comment seem to show that Disraeli. one of the greatest masters of words, found it's use unusual MurrayS Dictionary does not give much assistance on the point, for all it's quotations, such as one from the Duke of Weling. .Ons dispatches ill 1S1O. the casualties of the service" do not necessarily imply anything except loss by unavoidable accidents. .....
 My suggestion. however. is borne out by the following from StOcqueler'S Military Encyclopaedia" published tn 1853, which says, ''Casuals or casual ties, term signifying men that are dead (since first enlistedD or have been discharged or have deserted''-in oth CT words, total losses. No mention made, it should be noted, of the ap pli cation of the word to temporary losses caused by wounds. It was Lady Lon donderry's use of it in this sense per haps which Disrael found strange Westminster Gazette

garden. On 1t can be entered notes regarding success or failure of the different vegeta bles, and whether too much or too little of any variety was planted for the family needs. Failures with certain vegetables or seeds, especially where plants showed any sign of disease should be noted carefully, and if possible the reason for the failures indicated. When the season is. over this plan should be put away carefully until the next period for indoor planting comes around. The wise gardener will study his old plan and rearrange his vegetables so as not to have the same kind in the same place the second year He should also be particularly careful to transfer to other parts of the garden or not attempt to raise at all those vegetables which have suffered from disease. If his notes are at all complete they will show him what vegetables are the most worth while and which do not pay him for his time and trouble.
 The Farm Bureau located in the Prescott block, Rockville, will be glad to assist in anyway possible those wi may be interested in this line of work.

SPEED OF NO RETURN.
How Fast an Object Must Travel to
 Escape Into Space.

Escape Into Space.
 The speed of no return is that speed which one would have to send a body. a bullet. for instance. straight up in tIle air so that it would never come back. The rate of this speed has been estimated to be about seven miles a second. If bullet could be given that velocity away from the earth 1t would never fall back to our planet. but would travel on into space in an orbit of it's own around the sum-
 As to the possibilities of anything ever attaining this speed. no one can say. Scientists say all they know is that the friction of the air would prob. ably melt and then yaporiZe the body before it succeeded in getting through the earth's ocean of air. The speed of the modern army bullet is about one twelfth of the speed of no return, be ing little over half q mile a second.
 Instances of the speed of no return are seen when meteors fall into the at mosphere of the earth. They very sel. dom actually reach the earth's surface, but are melted and vapOrized by the enormous amount of heat evolved from friction with the air at such an enOr- nous velocity. Exchange.
