is TT EDGERTON7

This is a name Of English origin,
but the English form is almost
spelled Egerton rather than Edger-
ton. The family is small but aris-
tocratic in England and they claim
the same origin as that of the Chol-
mondeley family. They both may
be traced to William Belward, baron
OF Malpas. under the Norman earls.
II was not for some time that any
OF the descendants of William Bel
ward took the name of Edgerton or
Egerton. william had a son who
was known as David de Malpas, and
this David had a son who was called
David de Egerton after an estate in
the parish of Malpas. Thus Edger-
ton as a surname has local origin.
To trace its sourse stin further it
has been suggested that the place
name Edgerton or Egerton was or
iginally Ecgheard's town or EGG
heards' estate.
Ecgheard was a usual Teutonic
first name, meaning probably awful
firmness. This name Ecgheard is

"The We'll of MenteZuma"

Among the many natural curiosities of Arizona, one that is not often vis- ited by tourists, is the singular bowl shaped depression in Yavapai county, called "The We'll of Montezuma." It is nearly circular, and between 500 and 500 feet in diameter at the brim. It lies in the midst of a nearly-level area. The sides are vertical to a depth of 30 or 40 feet. Below that they merge into a sloping shape, which extends down to circular pool of water, alleged by popular tradition, as are so many other not very deep areas of water, to be bottomless.
 This remarkable formation has usu- ally been described as a "pit crater" of volcanic origin, the result of the falling of the roof of cavern, formed in the limestone strata by running water. The water of the pool, it is said, flows out through a subterra- mean channel into the valley of Bea- yer creek.

series is folded into a rather broad dome. The strata dip westwardly from the upper town of Catorce and disappear under alluvium at the west ern foot of the ranges. Most of the upper town lies on a sunken block at or near the summit of the dome, the sides of the sunken block being form- ed by faults.
 Basaltic or basic andesite forms a plug about l mi. northeast of the up- per town. Porphyry dikes, probably of quartz monzonite or a related rock, cut the sedimentary series in a gen eral north-south direction.
 The primary gangue minerals are calcite, quartz, rhodochrosite, and pos sibly some others, including anhydrite, The primary ore minerals are mainly sulfides of iron, iron and copper, lead, zinc, arsenic, antimony and bismuth. Mercury sulfides are found south of the main district. Subsequent alter ation of the sulfides formed, prin- cipally in the oxidized and leached zones, the haloid silver minerals, the double salts of silver, and possibly even more complex silver minerals.
 The main deposits are Assure veins in the lower limestone. The intersec- tion of veins were the sites of rich bonanza oreshoots. There are also quite a number of pocket deposits, as in the other regions of limestones in northeastern Mexico.

hand with the greeting:

new HELICOPTER

Mysterious Craft Climbs
Vertically Without
Use of Wings.

LONDON, Dec. 17.-Built secret
~ In . closely guarded aviation
base, the new Brennan helicopter
has Just made q successful ascent
The machine, which has neither
wings nor gas bags and Is able To
rise and descend vertically by the
rotation of airscrews, was designed
by Lieut.. Brennan, and Is being
tested by the British government
at the Farnsborough aviation base.
Mystery surrounds all details OF
the aircraft. and beyond the fact
that one successful ascent has been
made nothing is known of the con-
struction features of the novel n.y.
ing machine.
From the few details that have
leaked out, however, 1t appears
that Mr.. Brennan has designed a
successful helicopter, solving the
problem of vertical ascent that is
as old as the study OF aviation. 1t
is also stated that, having once as
cended to the desired altitude, the
Brennan helicopter can travel hori-
zontally.
Horizontal speed and direction
slight inclination of the vertical
axis of the screws and by the use
of large rudders.
As yet the helicopter idea has not
been developed for commercial pur-
poses, but military men believe
that the machine, capable Of con-
trolled vertical fight and capable
also Of towering" over fixed
spot, will be valuable in war for
gun spotting, taking the place of
the vulnerable hxed balloon.
European inventors are carefully
studying the helicopter principle,
and several helicopters have al
ready been built and have proved
that they are capable Of leaving
the ground. The highest recorded
ascent by a helicopter was made
by Lieut.. de Payer, who reached an
altitude OF 400 feet. but was seri-
ously injured in landing.

while baseball is q national sport
South American soccer Is an inter

league baseball Is professional
sport, football in South America is

cause the international character

Instead OF the out-of-door sac

there are many special Christmas
services. of which the principal one
comes at o'clock in the mornIns
Of Christmas Day. Even the coun-
try churches are then brightly IL

There Is q solemn thrill in the air

Race for Home.
In connection with the celebra-
ton Of Christmas many supersti-
tious practices and beliefs were
once common In the backward dis
tricts. One of these was that by
fasting Christmas eve and spending
the entire day In the woods, speak
ing not a word and seeing no hu-
man beings, one could get second
sight for Christmas Day. One could
foretell what crops the fields were
to Yield the next season, and on
the way to church Christmas morn
Ing one met all the funeral process
sions that were to pass during the
next year.
Another belief that whoever got
home first after the morning serv-
ices, which usually terminate at
daybreak. would be the first to get
his crops garnered the next sum-
mer, and consequently the drive
home that morning partook OF the
nature of a horse race. A third
notion was that in tho reflection of
a lighted Christmas tree in an un-
curtained window one might OBJ
serve the absence Of those who
were to die that year. A tallow
candle would burn In a double
fame at midnight, the exact hour
of the birth of Christ. No house
hold should extinguish all lights
that night, otherwise the elves and
fairies couldn't see their way to
come in and taste Of the Christmas
dinner. the remnants of which must
be left on the table. Animals have
the power of speech that night,
and early in the morning, before
the regular Christmas service. the
dead rise from their graves and
hold service of their own in the
church. II you do not believe that
you need only pass your hand be-
hind your back and feel the gravel
