TIMES CHANGES IN ARCTIC
Fossil Plants Prove That the Region
Once Was Mild and in All Proba-
bility FrostIess.

The ancient vegetation of the Arc
tic region, as is shown by a study of
it's fossil plants, indicates that it's eli
mate was once very unlike that which
prevails there now. Instead of con-
sisting of a handful of small plants
struggling for life amid snow and ice
in a scant, almost perpetually frozen
soil, it's vegetation was abundant and
luxuriant, and included ferns and
palmlike plants, that grow only in a
mild and probably frOstless climate.
This vegetation flourished in the Arc
tic region from at least late PaleOZOic
to middle Cenozoic geolo@ical time,
millions of years before man existed.
Although these lands are now so in
hOspitable and are rarely visited, the
United States geological survey has
gathered large amount o. inforna-
ton concerning their fossil lloras.
A study of the coal beds of the Cape
Lisburne region has incidentally dis
closed many fossil plants. Ties" coal
beds are extensive and are the only
known commercially valuable mineral
resources Of that region. A little coal
is occasionally mined for vessels that
are short of fuel, which, as there is no
harbor lie offshore and perilOusly load

Black Walnut Valuable.

"Of all the forest trees found in the
original forests of America" says
American Forestry, "the black walnut
probably suffered most at the hands
of the early settlers. This is due to
the well-known fact that it stood upon
the best land in the fertile valleys
and bordering foothills. These areas
were selected by the pioneer farmers
for their clearings and farms. A large
number of the choicest black walnut
trees were felled and burned simply
to get rid Of them. Many more were
split into fence rails or put to other
similar ordinary uses before the real
merits Of the wood became known
"Now the wood of black walnut
brings high price. 1t is no longer
destroyed and wasted, but every avail
able piece is collected and manufac-
tured into some useful article. 1t is
not used any more for rough lumber,
as it was in the early days, but all
of it goes to factories, where it is con-
verted into finished articles"

The Bitter End.

The expression "bitter end" as when
one says, II will follow it to the bit
ter end" is a nautical term, borrowed
from ships cable. If you have ever
been on a big ship you must have no
ticed two big pieces of wood sticking
up out of the deck forward, alongside
each other. They sometimes have
windlass between them, and they are
used to secure the cable that goes to
the anchor. These pieces of wood are
called the bits. When the ship comes
to anchor and the cable is paid out,
all that part of 1t which is abaft or
behind the bits Is called the bitter
end of the cable. In storm or in
poor holding ground for anchors the
more cable that is paid out the better
the anchor will hold, and when the
captain is at all doubtful, he pays
out his cable to the bitter end sooner
than risk any harm to his ship.

From the Wisconsin Committee
of the Woodrow Wilson
Foundation. :.

Wausau, Wis.-None Of the money
that will be raised for the Woodrow
Wilson Foundation will go to Mr..
Wilson. Every dollar will be invest
ed in United States bonds. The in
come, about $4,000 year, will be
given to a man or woman or a group
of individuals that has contributed
the most distinguished public service
in promoting American ideals or in
contributing to human welfare.
To clear up any misunderstanding
on this point Karl Mathie, chairman
of the Wisconsin committee of the
Foundation, makes this statement
part of which follows:
Who the fortunate individual or
group may be that will receive the
Wilson prize rests with the Jury of
Awards This Jury will be nonpolit-
ical and non-denominational. The
men and women back of this move
ment are a guaranty of this as they
represent all creeds and parties.
'"The National Committee has al
ready selected five of the permanent
Board of Trustees and recently the
National Executive Committee added
the name of Edward Box of the
Ladies' Home Journal to the Board.
Mr.. Box has always been a Republi-
can, thus giving the Republicans
three Of the six trustees already de-
cided upon, the other two being Will
liam Allen White and Cleveland H.
Dodge.
"a certificate will be issued to
every donor showing that he has
been enrolled as a founder of the
Woodrow Wilson Foundation. This
certificate will be highly priced in
many a household in the years to
come for the Wilson Prize will
arouse human interest annually as
long as our nation endures."

Road School at Madison.

Wisconsin's annual road school
will be held at Madison in the state
capitol January % to 27, according
to Chief Engineer A. r. Hirst, of the
state highway commission. Some
500 county and local road officials at
tended a similar road school in Mad
ison last year and it is expected that
the attendance this year will be close
1000. National authorities in road
building and bridge construction
were invited to address the school
with the purpose of instructing local
and state officials in the most econo-
mical and advantageous manners of
constructing and maintaining roads
and bridges. The annual road school
banquet following the sessions of the
school will probably be held in the

RABBIT" is PROPER NAME
Combination of Toasted Cheese and
Brown Ale Has Been Incorrectly
Called "Rarebit."

The original name of the cOmbina-
ton Of toasted cheese and good brown
ale was, it is an historical fact.
"Welsh Rabbit" 1t was a slang term,
at that. 1t was one of large class
of similar terms describing in a, hui
morous manner the special dish, prod
uct or popularity of a particular dis
trict. Thus, in England, a German
Duck was the slang name for a
sleeps head stewed in onions. "Leis-
tershire Plover" was the name given
to a bag pudding, and "Digby Chicken
was the slang term for herring.
Similar examples of metaphorical
names for favorite dishes are found
in every country. And long before the
word ''rarebit" was ever heard of, the
familiar dish of cheese and ale" was
known as a "Welsh Rabbit
1t was only when some solemn ety.
mologist came along, and gravely
noting the fact that there was nothing
in the dish to even remotely sug-
gest connection with a rabbit, sug-
gested that the word was undoubted-
ly a corruption Of 'rarebit," which
would make some sense at least. SO
"rarebit' it became among the pur-
lists. And the early dictionaries
adopted It, though the modern ones
acknowledge that rabbit has the
right of way

WHY CALLED "OLD DOMINION"
Two Explanations Have Been Given
for Nickname Bestowed on the
State of Virginia.

There are two explanations as to
how the state of Virginia came to be
called ''Old Dominion The one Civ
en- in the following account is gener-
ally regarded as the most plausible:
"In Capt. John Smiths History of
Virginia, edition Of 1929, there is a
map of the settlements of Virginia,
which at that time included New Eng
land, as well as every other part of
the British settlements in America.
He there calls our present Virginia
'Ould Virginia'-the word old being
so spelled at that time-in cOGtradis-
tinction to the New England colony,
which is called New Virginia. Here,
then, we have the word 'ould,' the dis
tinctive word of the title. Now, we
know that, from the settlement of the
colony to the Revolution, every act
of parliament, every letter of the king
to the governor designated Virginia
as the colony and dominion Of Vir-
ginia. Here is found the other word,
and the change in common talk from
'Ould Virginia to old Dominion was
easy, imperceptible and almost inevi-
table"
The other explanation is that the
title "Old Dominion" was bestowed
upon Virginia by Charles II, because
the colony had refused to recognize
the government of Cromwell, and, af-
ter the execution of Charles l had
transferred it's allegiance to his son.
In gratitude for this loyalty, Charles
X caused the arms Of Virginia to be
quartered with those of England, Scot
land and Ireland, as a distinctive por-
ton of the Old Dominion and an in
dependent member of the United King
dom.

l was walking around my stables
and stopped to watch pair of spar
rows enticing their offspring from a
nest in a hole in the wall. One of
the young ones, more venturesome
than the others, fluttered off toward a
cock feeding in the yard with some
hens. The cock at once ran up and
seized it in his beak; the hens. think
ing this was something good to eat,
ran after him. The hunt, however,
was of short duration, for as soon as
they got out into he open ground, a
scavenger kite came with a rush,
snatched the victim from the astonish-
ed cock and made off. The cock and
hens then fled squawking for shelter.

PHONE DUE TO DEAF MUTES
Willis Teaching visible Speech" 1t Is
Said Alexander Graham Bell
Made Great Discovery.

That the telephone was born in
america, and that Alexander Graham
Bell made his discovery in Boston of
the only way in which speech could
be transmitted, was due to circum-
stances full of the deepest human in
terest, says the Telephone Press Ser
vice. That Bell came to Boston to
TEACH his fathers method of visible
speech, was due to the insistence of
New England woman, Miss Sarah
Fuller, principal of the Horace Mann
School for Deaf Mutes.
Miss Fuller SO impressed the Boston
school board with the Importance of
this method of instruction for the I'M
fortunate children under her, care,
that, after vainly trying to secure of
Bells father, who had invented the
system, the board, upon his recon-
mendation, offered the son, Alexander
Graham Bell, $500 to come to Boston
and give course of instruction at
the school,
He went there April l, 1871, and
thereafter divided his time between
teaching the theory of visible speech
to the teachers, and in practical in
structions to the pupils. In 1872 he
opened a normal school for teachers.
In 1873 he accepted an appointment as
professor of vocal physiology in the
school of oratOry of Boston university.
In 1875, Professor Bell made the happy
discovery that led to the invention of
the telephone. He was then twenty
eight years old.

very bad economic situation in Spain,
is to blame for the discord. Many Ital-

really effective. Numerous Spaniards
believe France secretly wishes the
Spaniards to lose their African war
