Irish 40" Not an Abbreviation.

That the apostrophe, like the n.y.
phen, is a recent intrusion is the state
ment of Francis Sullivan tighe (sic),
author of the Irish romance, "The
Portion of Champion" "The o." he
says, "is not contraction of of as
popularity supposed 1t is contraction
of the Irish 'ua meaning the de-
scendant Of Also the 20 should not
be capitalized except when the Chris
tian name is omitted"
The word .'tighe," following the au-
thor's name. signifies "of the house.
and it is the traditional designation of
his family as distinguished from Others
of the O Sullivan clan. In private life
the author is just plain Sullivan. but
he thinks that to print 1t so on the
title page of his Fifth century ro
nance would be anachronism.

IN QUIET TOBACCO
West Indian Island the Home of
Many Birds.
Species of Some of the Most Beautiful
Feathered Creatures in the
World Are There.

In the little island of Tobago. the
ward of Trinidad in the West Indies
and lying to the northwest, birds are
seen at their best and are tame enough
to be studied easily, writes Dudley S.
Corlett in the Los Angeles Times.
At sunset one may see the regular
formations Of flamingoes, like rosy
cloud, heading for the mainland Of
Venezuela. Along the shore the peli-
cans are numerous-clumsy and Of
dull plumage, that sail all day up and
down the margin of the shore watch
ing for fish. They drop down with ire
mendous velocity, and opening wide
their great bills sweep the fish into
the pouch which acts as sein. Then
they raise their heads from the sea
so that the water may drain from the
pouch and leave the fish in the proper
position for swallowing. The little
gulls perch on their heads awaiting for
any chance bits that may fall from
an over-full pouch.
In the dark mangrove swamps one
sees the gray heron, white egrets, bit
tern and "coot. The gorgeous macaw
in his blue and yellow or red and green
livery is only rare visitor from the
mainland, but there are flocks of green
parrots and noisy parrakeets in ev-
cry forest glade. Toucans, glossy
black, with long-curved bills and vel
low crests, clatter from the tree tops,
and woodpeckers, red and green, wake
the forest silences with their ceaseless
work. In the dark bamboo glades may
be seen the shy liking Of the forest"
with his cap of peacock sheen, russell
red breast and long racquet tail. With
him will be the iridescent brOnZed bee
eater, floating in the sun as he darts
after the insect prey, and the golden
orioles build their long hanging nests
of woven grass from. the moss-hung
branches Of the zafhman trees.
There are not many songsters, save
a mocking bird, the black and yellow
"touch-yah" and some of the tiny sugar
and grass birds. And lastly there is
what is perhaps the most attractive
Of all-.the bluebird-the bird of happi-
ness. Cobalt is his head and back
soft gray-blue his breast, and he feasts
on the ripest fruits or hops unafraid
and into the house after stray beetles.
Tobago should adopt the bluebird as
it's crest, for in the faces Of the peo-
pie shine the gift of happiness, wheth-
err it be in the bronzed features Of the
white planters who have elected to lead
the simple life on this little island.
or whether il be on the shining black
faces of the negroes! AS Tobago was
British possession when Trinidad
was still Spanish, there are hardly
any French or Spanish creoles, and
most of the estates belong to the de-
scendants of old Scotch families.

,s PERSONS PERIsHED IN
 WRECK OF TUG RELIANCE

Sault Ste Marie, Dec. 17.-Twenty-sev sn persons are missing and are believed to have have been drowned or died from exposure following the disaster which bVertook the tug Reliance when it hit the rocks or Lizard Island fouh days ago.
 This was the fear of athe officials of then Superior Paper company, owner of the tug, who tonight for the first time, admitted that in addition to the crew of IA the Reliance carried 22 passengers,
 Seven survivors of the wreck reached here last night. Two other, MT. and Mrs. John Harten, cooks, were suffering 70 from the cold that they were left at Inc station of the Algema Central rail road for medical attention by the other survivors
 The last seen of the missing 27 persons was "wednesday morning when the Re- Nance, battling through blinding snow seorm. went on the rocks of bi5zard Is land, stripped her wheel and sank almost immediately.
 Captain D. A. williams, of this city and Efx others who were forward, took one life boat while nine others, including Mr. and Mrs. Hsrten, took the other. The second lifeboat drifted several hours in the storm and was blown ashore on the Canadian mainland S5 miles north of here.
 MfS. Harten was so exhausted that the party was held up 36 hours in an Indian shack before 1t was able to start toward tho. railroad, which was reached Satur- day. The survivors express little hope that the others survived the storm.
 The announcement by the company to- night said that in addition to the crew of 14, the Reliance carried twenty lum- berjacks, an official of the company'f forestry department, and fisheries com. pany agent who had been picked up by tho Reliance on its last trip to the lumber camps.
 The missing men, 1t is said by SurxiY DTS, left the wrecked tug in launcH which was carried by the Reliance in ad dition to Hs two lifeboata.
 It is pointed out that if the misSint men reached Lizard Island in the storm they were without food. If the! reached the island where there were huts their problem of fighting the cold swoult not be so great, but being without weap Uns, their chances of obtaining enougl food were declared to be slender
 The tng Gray late today had no reached the spot where the Reliance sank according to wireless advices, but wa UtflI lighting the snow storm. Tn wrecking tug Favorite of St. Ignace pass cd here at noon today to aid in tn pearch
