OF INDIAN ORIGIN
Twenty-Five of the Forty-Eight States of the Country Have Practically
 Native Names.

Of our IS states we find that g bear names Of Indian origin, while 12 are English, six Spanish and three French. Two states may he said to have Amer ican names. The first is Washington, named after the Father of our Coun- try, and the second Indiana, so called on account of the purchase and sub seQuent settlement by various Indian tribes of large tracts of land north of the Ohio river and within the present boundaries of, the state.
 When we review Indian state names, we must remember that there was no one Indian tongue. Instead, there were several separate and distinct lan- guages, and each of these was divided into many dialects. Hence the wide variance in Indian names in different sections.
 Wisconsin, written by early Fre.~h explorers of the region as OuiScUusin and named for its chief stream. is thought to have come from a Sac In- dian word translated as Wild Rush lng Channel. and also as having ref erence to holes in the banks of streams where birds nest. However, neither of these interpretations can be confirmed National Geographic Magazine.

"THRlFT" THAT DOESN'T PAY
Some Suggestions for the Housekeeper and for Those Who Are
 Too Saving.

There are some thrift suggestions that do not always pay, remarks a writer in the New York Sun.
 It doesn't pay, for instance, to wrap the ice in your iceboN up in newspaper to save the Ice when by so doing you will keep the rest of the lCcbOX from being kept cool. You may save your ice, but you may lose more than the worth of the lee In meat and vegeta- bleS that have been spoiled.
 It doesn't pay to make cake with out butter or eggs when you have to throw half of the cake away because no one will eat it.
 It doesn't pay to lu your own house. cleaning to save the expense of a wom- an by the day when this means that you a~e not able to have dinner at home at an expense of rather more than new material would cost.
 l. doesn't pay to deal with grocer who undcrSellS the other grocerS lIt- tie because he has no delivery service when you spend an hour in getting ynur supplies in order tO save 10 cents. There are other ways that you can make an hours time worth much more than that.
 Il doesn't pay to set so economical A table that your children and your husband will have craving for candy and between meals that will cost very much more tl.an would he needed to spt really bountifuI table.

Measuring Mammoth Cave.

An odd method has been used in measuring the height of some of the great chambers in the Mammoth cave The experimenter had little balloons made of special pattern. with thin ner and more elastic rubber than that of common toy balloons. Then, with five balloons tied in a cluster, and each inflated with hydrogen to a diam eter of 10 inches, he began his at, tempts. An acetylene light revealed the balloons when they touched the top. The measuring tape was a light thread. The Rotunda was found to De just 40 feet high. and the Mammoth dome 119 feet inches. But in the vast temple called Gorin's dome. wan derlng air-currents rendered the bal looms unmanageable.

Mrltinns Ascribed to Jews.

It Is believed today by many savants that the Old Testament description of SOlomon's temple was written by the Jews after their return from captiv- ity, with the memory of the real splendors of Babylon fresh in their minds, says Anstruther Mackay, writ, ing in the Atlantic Monthly.
 1t Is possible that the actual temple was a simple place of worship. If It had been otherwise, it is hardly pOssi' ble that no remains of 1t would be visible today, seeing that the temples of Egypt, which are so much older, re- main, In some cases, almost in toto.

O.. ... --.-.aas s14A- q R1s1LzgllA-GsS STOKER NO LONGER NEEDED Use of Oil Instead of Coal Has Rem dered Picturesque Character on
 Shlpboard Unnecessary.

"The Passing of the Fiery Fur mace" might some day appear as the title of book telling of modern meth ods of travelling by sea. with emphasis on the bunkering of ships with tuel oil instead of coal, thus eliminating the stoker who, day and night, show eled that coal into the ever-yawnlhS depths of flame. Doubtless those traV' elers who used to feel sorry for the stoker's plight will join In the pleas ures of the trip with greater equaniml- tv on the oil-burning boats. One or the most interesting of recent sights Tn the kaleidoscopic harbor of New York was the bunkering with fuel oil of the Cunard liner AQutania directly from an oil tanker. In about twenty hours 45.OOO barrels of oil was stored, by means of an S1S-inch flexible metal hose. the services of but three men being required. Had all four connec- tlons been used, the bunkering could have been completed in six hours by seven men. this including both proc esses of diScharging and receiving. Thus the modern method means a saving of time, labor and expense, since the coal bunkering of an ocean liner usually requires the services of many men for several days. It Is also interesting to note that the liners first run with oil as fuel resulted in the consumption of approximately $500 tons, as against the usual 5,S4O tons of coal.-ChriStian Science MOni- tor
