wvKDS MADE BY ANIMALS
Many Of Those In Common Use Can
Be Traced to Domestic and
Wild Beasts.

Monkey-tricks. combination used
quite new. but the prefix monkey" Is
very old.
The bOatmen on our canals call a
small barge a monkey-barge, and the
mechanic rails the adjustable spanner
In his tool kit a monkey-wrench. The
step of a bus on which the conductor
stands is known as the mOnkey-board.
A bat-call is a tin whistle. and a
cats paw the medium who does an
others dirty work Catskins are the
flowers Of tile willow. and cat-lap is
weak tea.
Our friend the dog is rather badly
used. We speak of dog-rose dog
brar, dog-wheat. dog-grass. dog-eared,
and each epithet implies inferiority
The word horse" is also used 70
imply inferiority. roughness coarse
ness. A horse-laugh is a vulgar guf-
faw; horse-chestnut is the poisonous
acrid sort as distinguished from the
sweet chestnut; while horse-play is
rough play such as AIRY and 'Arrict
indulge in.
The commonest use Of the prefix
"horse" Is i'm connection with power"
1t is commonly referred to as "h. p.,"
and is the universal unit of COMPARE
son between steamships, motorcars. To-
comotives, etc.
The fox enters a good deal into com
mon speech. We call shamming
"foxing," and a crafty man is ian
old fox" but why certain dance
should be called a foy-trOt one cannot
say.
The fox suggests the hare, and that
timid animal also has its use in lam
guage as well as in soup. A man
who is as mad as a March hare is
said to he "hare-brained." The hare
bell is one of our prettiest flowers. but
the possession of hare-lip is gem
orally thought to be the result of the
interference Of some malicious spirit
at birth.

Most Efficient Light.

Fame and fortune await the scien-
fist who discovers the secret of the
familiar FREELY or lightning bug. No
one has been able to tell how the little
insect produces the flashes Of light we
see twinkling about us on dark nights.
Careful scientist tests have proven.
however, that this light Is produced
with about one four hundredths part
of the energy which is expended in the
flame of a candle. Considering the
strength or rather feebleness of the
freely this light is believed to be the
most efficient form Of illumination
known today. If this method could be
understood and put to work 1t is cal
culated that the energy exerted by a
boy in driving bicycle would be sufii-
cient to run a powerful dynamo or
light many miles Of street lamps. The
light OF the freely is practically heat
less and il Is believed among scien-
lists that the future Of the lighting
industry of the world depends upon
the discovery OF heatless light

Locust Plaque of 1915.

A very severe locust plague that WIS.,
tied Palestine and Syria in the spring
of 1915 proved blessing in disguise
for the British armies. The locusts
ravaged the country from the borders
of Egypt TO the Taurus mountains,
consuming every green thing. Vege-
tables and fruit disappeared as if by
magic.
The shortage of all kinds Of fodder
was most serious matter and great

the Turkish forces on the Egyptian

drawn to them by the sudden darken-
ing of the bright sunshine. The de-
struction wrought by the pests was
enormous, more especially as the Gar
den of Gethsemane was stripped.
The streets of Jerusalem were car
peted with masses of insects. When
anything approached, says John w.
Whiting. United States vice consul at
Jerusalem, in the Wide World, IL seem

vitation had been extended to Major
General Leonard Wood to visit Japan
when he has finished his work in the
Philippines, where he is going by di-
recton Of President Harding to invcs-

independence. Plans to welcome him,
it is said, are being prepared. 81
The visit of General Wood to the
Philippines is attracting great interest
here, and Etsujiro Uehara, member of
the House or Representatives and one
of the leaders of the Kokamin-to, or
Nationalist party, declared in state-

was closely associated with the future
policy of the United States in the Far
East.

that he was going to Budapest in orde,
TO see who was courageous enough to
touch the Kings anointed person. He
said he had received word from M
BRAND, the French Premier, that the
Allies henceforth would consider the
question Of the throne an internal one
to Hungary.
Arguments were useless, and Charles,
accompanied by Premier Teleky, start
ed on Sunday morning for Budapest.
The three cars of the entourage stopped
early i'll the afternoon before the
Premier.s palace. The porter recog-
nized the former sovereign and sa-
luted him reverently.
Charles went to the Premier's apart
ment and washed and changed his civ
ilian dress to a generals uniform and
attached the Hungarian colors to his
sword.
Then he proceeded on foot to the
neighboring royal palace, followed by
an aide-de-camp, who, on entering the
palace, demanded the key to the King S
private rooms, which had been closed
since Charles left Hungary.
The appearance of Charles created

To this demand Horthy sent back the

Later meeting between Charles and
Horthy took place in a small room on
the first floor. The former King of
Hungary entered the room and, seeing

Hungary's highest military decoration
the Cross Of the Marie Therese Order
and affixed it on Horthy's breast.
Horthy accepted the cross, but he
firmly insisted that he was not willing
to hand over power to Charles and
declared that he would offer armed
resistance if an attempt were made
forcibly to overthrow the presen,
regime.
After three hours of warm discus

LONDON. March 30-~The confer
cnce on the coal situation tonight be-
tween the government and the miners
ended with the intimation that there
would be general strike in the col
lieries, although the negotiations may
be resumed Tomorrow.
The coal control is terminated to-
morrow, and because Of this executives
of the miners federation met Sir
Robert Horne, president of the Board
Of Trade, and attempted to arrive at an
agreement regarding the readjustment
of wages.
f. Hodges, an executive Of the min
ers, demanded that the state subsidize
the coal industry to assure that the
mines pay wages greater than the
profits of the coal industry are able
to yield under present conditions. The
federation further asked that arrange
ments be made to pool the profits of
the industry so that pits unable to
operate except at a loss could be sub
sidized by the more profitably managed
collleries.
Sir Robert Horne, on behalf Of the
government, SAID that any state sub
sidy was impossible, whereat Herbert
Smith, of the Miners Federation, init
mated that the miners had decided to
withdraw all workers from the coal
pits, including pumpmen and engine
men. Sir Robert replied that such a
proposal was a grave matter, and he
could hardly believe that the miners
would allow their means of livelihood
to perish, as it undoubtedly would if
the mine fields We're allowed to be
flooded.
Sir Robert said he hoped the miners
would reconsider their decision, and
offered to meet them again tomorrow.
Derbyshire and Nottingham mine
owners are now Offering their men an
advance of 110 per cent over 1914
wages, an average reduction Of 8 4
shillings. The men are willing to &C
cept reduction of 2i2 shillings. 1t is
reported that many of the mines may
be closed down by Friday unless an
agreement is reached. The coal re-
serve of London and the provinces has
been built UP in anticipation of q

Emperor Charles from Switzerland was
unknown to his household at Prangins

accompany him, but was not strong
enough to leave her newborn baby.

The police force around the Pran-

Charles shall or shall not be allowed
