The Middle Initial!

With the exception Of William II.
Taft, Senator Harding is the first
President since Rutherford 3. Hayes,
to use more than one Christian name.
Grover Cleveland, William Mckinley,
Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow
Wilson (who dropped his first name
Thomas, early in the career) got along
without middle names or initials. The
middle initial, incidentally, is almost
exclusively an American characteris-
tic. An Englishman may call himself
John James Smith, but practically new
er John J. Smith. A Frenchman may
be baptised Auguste Charles Jesus
Marie Georges Dupont, but he will be
known to the world as Georges Du-
pont, and probably will sign himself
G. Dupont.
The use of more than one given
name is puzzling to a Frenchman.
When Senator Lodge is mentioned in
the French press, he is never IN.

one prominent Paris daily writes it,

may look forward to be known on the

CURIOSITY OF FINNY TRIBE
Lung Fish One Of the Most Remark
able Specimens Known to. the
Scientific World.

A fish that grOwls and meows like
a cat is found in certain parts of
South America, Africa and Australia,
and this is considered by scientists
ito be in many respects the most won
4derful fish in the world 1t looks much
more like a snake than a fish. 1t has
lungs and is obliged to put its head
{out of water frequently to breathe.
Lung fish, as these creatures are
called, are link between reptiles
and fshes-the nearer kin to the orig
Iinal stock from which snakes and
fishes both .sprang, and in the fossil
|period these ancestors of theirs We're
scattered over the entire world. One
reason these strange fish have been
preserved thousands and thousands Of
years after their prehistoric ancestors
were extinct is because they can live
easily through long droughts. Alliga-
TORS and their African cousins, the
icrocodiles, are almost the only enc
mics they have to fear except man.
!: Their rich salmon flesh is highly
iprized by the Indians who go after
them with spears. B
In a natural state, the African lung
fish is about eighteen inches long, but
when kept in aquariums and fed the
year round, instead of lying dormant
for lack Of water, they grow to be two
feet and half long and weigh six
pounds or more.

Nominally the government of Box
hara is in the hands of the amir, who
is an absolute autocrat, but actually
power is largely exercised by the Mo-
hammedan clergy. The houses in the
capital are closely packed together,
and everyone must be indoors by dusk.
At night the streets are paraded by
police patrols, who beat drums to
scare away thieves and robbers. The
city is surrounded by ruined but still
strong wall about ~ miles in cir

Vancouver From the Land
Where He Persisted.

After being in the possession of the
thrifty natives of King Williams land
for three-quarters Of a century,
large number of interesting relics of
the Inflated Sir John Franklin polar
expedition have been brought from
the frozen north by Joe Bernard, who
is here after a four years stay along
the northernmost coast. of the North
American continent, says Vancouver
q. CO. dispatch.
I Though priceless from a collectors
point of view, the unitarian value Of
the relics is negligible, and they were
obtained by Bernard for a piece of
lumber worth possibly 20 cents on the
coast.
A few brass buttons among the
relics are believed to have belonged to
the distinguished leader, though there
is as yet no positive proof of this.
Bernard also obtained a number of
primitive scientific instruments used
by the northern tribes. These will be
sold to various museums and univer-
sites for which the explorer has been
collecting chronological specimens and
data since 1910. He. also brought a
collection of furs worth approximate
~ $4,000. &
