FIGURED IN EARLY HISTORY
ment, Was Governor Of Syria Be-
fore the Birth of Christ.

The name Cyrenius occurs in the
New Testament in the Gospel Ac-
cording to st. Luke, chapter Ii, verse
2. The first verse of the chapter
states that there went out q decree
from Caesar Augustus, the first Ro-
man emperor, "that all the world
should be taxed" Then follows a
chronological statement in parenthe-
sis, = constituting the second verse
which reads: "And this taxing was
first made when Cyrenius was gov
ernor of Syria"
Cyrenius is the literal English
rendering Of the Greek form of the
Roman name of Quirinus. The full
name of this governor of Syria is
Publius Sulpicius Quirinus. :.
He was consul in the year 12 3.
c. 4 little later he was made gov
ernor of Syria and under him was
made the first census and taxation
decreed by the Emperor Augustus.
This was at the time of the birth Of
Our Lord. Three years later he was
succeeded in the governorship by NJ.
Lollius. Later Cyrenius was gov
ernur second time.

Why CURRENT MUST REVERSE
Electricity In Alternating Systems
Works Much as Does the Pen
duium Of a Clock.

In alternating current systems the
electricity does not always flow in
the same direction, but instead it
travels in one direction and then re-
verses and travels in the opposite
direction, this reversal taking place
many times a second. The rate Of
speed at which the current rcverses
is called the frequency, and when
60 cycles is mentioned, it means that
the current makes 60 complete re-
versals in one second.
We find an analogy for this re-
versing Of the current in the swing
ing of clock pendulum. We know
that the speed of the hands depends
upon the number of swings or re-
verses the pendulum makes in a def
mite period of time. The same prin-
ciple holds true in nearly all types
of alternating current motors, name
ly-the speed of motors vary direct
ly as the frequency varies; therefore,
if motors are required to run at a
constant speed, the frequency must
always be the same.-Nelco News.

Locals Break Even
With Crowley Club
Club Somewhat Disabled by Absence
OF Several Players.

The locals broke even at Grow,
iey. last Sunday, dropping the
first game, which went eleven
innings, ) to H. and winning tile
second, with Thompson pitching,
2 to 3. The boys did not expect
to play Il double header but it
rained out on Saturday and the
game was transferred to Sunday.
Quite a nun Der Of most frenzied
fans either accompanied the clRb
or drove down Sunday morning
to witness the games.
The locals were not at their
best owing to shortage of play
ers and used an inexperienced
b0y in center field while Bush
nell was pulled into short. This
was the direct cause Of the de-
feat. Tabony, formerly Of / h e
Louisiana State League, pitched
the first game with Koch as
Shock absorber, while Oliver and
Guilbeau did battery duty for
Crowley.
Thompson and Koch worked
for Glenmorr in the second with
Martin and Schmidt for the Rex
alls. Every one reports a good
time with plenty of bad roads as
a diversion. We regret that we
are unable to furnish a. detail of
these games but the official scor-
er was detained at, home a n d
