New York. Dec. 21.-One hundred
and thirty-eight fire insurance COM
panies are suspending their business
in Mississippi, where their aggregate
policies amount to approximately ST.
100000, 600.
This action is an outgrowth of a
suit filed against them by the state
revenue agent of Mississippi charging
that in collecting the same rates the
companies have created a combine in
restraint Of trade.
Announcement Of the suspension
was made here today by the national
board of fire underwriters.
It was explained that the state rev.
enue agent contends that the alleged
violation of the antitrust laws of Mis-
sissippi subjects each company-to a
penalty of $4,000 a day since January
l. 1908, or an aggregate penalty of
two billion dollars.
To enforce payment, balance due

by their agents have been garnisheed.
This amounts to 100000.

oriain of surnamea

40 one can say with any certainty
when the practice Of taking a surname
became general. The Greeks. Assyri-
ans. Egyptians and other ancient peo-
pies had no surnames the later Ro-
mans had each one real personal name,
to which they sometimes added a clan
name or nomen, family name or
cognomen and Il nickname or agno-
men. The personal on Christian name
was the only name recognized by early
English law. surnames being words Of
description used to identify persons Of
the same name from each other. The
Norfnans had introduced into England
tile habit of using sarnames, bnt this
was confined 10 the upper classes. BY
degrees even the common people be-
gan to be distinguished by names re-
ferring to personal characteristics, as

LAMB THAT GREW ON TREE
According TO the Taimud, Remarkable
Plant Furnished Food for Our
Very Remote Ancestors.

How often Is the wish expressed
that money grew on trees? Why not
wish for lainb 10 grow that way, FOR
according to the Latin translation Of
tire TalmUd Of Jerusalem. that ancient
book of law and customs, wonderfully
teAdcr aud eatabIe lambs did grow on
trees.
THIS work, remarks writer in the
New York Evening SUI, tells Of a
plant called the jeduah, which was
formed like 4 lamb, From bunch Of
rather coarse, thick leaves there Is
sued steam on which the zoophyte
grew, 50 the story goes. In every re-
snect it was formed like an animal
suspended on a stalk within the radius
of which It glazed. 1t devoured III
the herbage which 1t was able To reach
within the circle Of IFS tether, and
then unless some overventurous AMI
NAL came near enough for 1T TO snatch
the lamb would die Of starvation.
CUR remote ancestors hunted the
lamb at great risk. for historians tell
rs that the lamb had not earned its
reputation for gentleness then. 1t was
extremely ferocious, especially Ii Iii
had exhausted It's provender. Tile
only way to overcome it was to cut the
Stem by weIl-aimed darts or arrows
sent from safe distance. Once the
stem was severed the animal fell to
the earth soon to die, and the sue
cessful hunter could safely come forth
70 carry his game back to his cave
home.

Il feel compelled to become a pupil
Of our mathematicians In order TO un-

Never before had he seen such an OBJ
ject.
As he wSs familiar with clocks,
what he meant, evidently was that
the time Indicators on the clock were
different froIa those on the watch
which had heen given TO him. It Is
quite probable he had in his posses

Htulein, or at least one of his first
ones. This PETER Heulein was a black
smith and Iocksmith and devoted his
time to mathematics and watchmak-
ing, for which he WIS thrown into.
