"MuUwump,"

The modern word mugwumptis de-
rived from the Algonquin mug
quomp," meaning a great man, s
chief, and is said to have been useG
among the Indians and whites OF
Massachusetts and Connecticut in the
seventeenth AMI eighteenth centuries.
The word was later lsed in a humOr-
Gus, or satirical Sense, and was ar-
piled to a person who thought him
self of consequence and Importance.
In this sense tha word was long III
local use and often appeared in print.
In o. S. political history the term was
first applied in 1884 to the Independent
members of the Republican party who
openly refused to support the nomi-
nees of the party for president of the
United States, and either voted for
the Democratic or Prohibition party or
abstained from voting. The word was
not generally known in any sense be-
fore that time, but it caught the popu-
lar fancy and was at once accepted
by the Independents themselves as an
honorable title.

Energy Released in Combustion.

A piece of coal releases, during com

about 1000 miles, or say from New

A piece of hydrogen, our most ener-
getic combustible, releases in cOmbus-
tion an amount of energy capable OF
lifting about four times as far, or to a
vertical distance against sea level
gravitation) roughly equal to the dis
lance from New York to Manila.
But piece of radium emanatiOn
yields without any combustion an
amount of energy in the process of its
evolution that would lift 1t against sea
level gravitation, not only to the sun,
but to the orbit of the planet Neptune,
the outside fencepOst of the solar sys-
tenn, and which is about thirty times
further from the sun than the earth is.

PLENTY OF ROOM IN TRUNK
Small Receptacle Once suffieed to
Garry All the Worldly Goods Of
Noted New Highlander.

Following the discovery, not long
ago, Of an interesting old trunk in
which Daniel Webster carried his legal
papers comes the finding of another
old trunk that George Nixon Briggs
former governor of Massachusetts
carried on his back when he pill
grimaged from the town of Hudson,
N. Y, to adams, Mass, there to begin
studying law. Governor Briggs has
not remained so fixed in memory as
Daniel Webster, but he was famous
man In his time, and is interesting
today because at the national tenn
perance convention in 1882 he took
stand for total abstinence. Later, as
president Of the Massachusetts Legis-
lative Temperance society, he marched
in procession through the streets Of
Boston, although on this occasion there
is no record that he carried his trunk.
The trunk, incidentally, Is one Of the

will always be Macgregor of Lagos, the
pioneer sanitarian who began proc
esses which have made Lagos a place
livable for the European and more
livable than ever before to its teem-
Ing African population.
The pedant may say that "circum-
spice" scarcely applies where the bene-
factor has only cleansed air and roads
and purified water sources neverthe-
less, TO no man could 1t be attached
more fifty than to Macgregor for his
work in that steady hive of activity.
The natives had a real affection for
him, for they knew he believed in
them, and Africans, like most other
sons of Adam, esteem that even above
good drains and pure water. He had
very clear appreciation Of the ter
rible danger of German rule in the
tropics just because Of its thorough
ness.
There are endless stories of him on
the coast. One is of an official who,
after a tour in the bush, told the gov.
ernor of an exceptional juju he had
seen-"exactly like human being,
sir, only, Of course, of wood"
"Nane sac exceptional" Macgregor
remarked, and followed It up with a
chuckling soliloquy, "I've seen some In
the -vlce."-Manchest Guardian.
